Indee Bass Club travels to Pleasant Creek Lake

 

Pleasant Creek Lake CHAMPS

The Indee Bass Club members voted on areas to fish for 2023 and Pleasant Creek Lake, near Palo made the cut once again.  This event began at 6:30am, which gave anglers about six hours to chase down as many bass as possible.  The two-angler teams are in a boat with their adult captain, the goal is to catch five keeper bass.  

The morning started out very nice, the sky was overcast, a mild breeze and the bass were biting.  Anglers searched the entire lake looking for their limit of bass, a goal that many anglers were able to accomplish.  

Colton Cameron and Carter Eddy were once again the winners of the event.  They were able to bring five keeper bass to the scale that weighed 10.85 pounds.  Carter also caught the Big Bass of the event, a largemouth that weighed 3.24 pounds.  Coming in second place was EJ Miller and Owen Latwesen.  They caught five largemouth that weighed 9.64 pounds.  In third place was Jackson Beatty and Gable Eddy, they had five keepers that weighed 8.27 pounds.  In fourth place was Ranger Reed and Carter Cameron, they had five keepers weighing 7.32 pounds.  The anglers able to catch their limit reported catching fish on a variety of baits; chatterbaits, crankbaits, topwater baits, stick baits, spinnerbaits, swimjigs and Texas rigged plastics.  In fifth place was Cal Sweeney and Hunter Sherwood, they had three keeper bass that weighed 4.63 pounds.  In sixth place was Hunter Weepie, he had three bass that weighed 3.75 pounds.  In seventh place was Wyatt Mether and Carson Hanaway, they had three bass that weighed 3.31 pounds.  A total of 17 students participated in this event, all of which received awards and fishing gear.
