We end the year with our fall tournament and the event that will decide who has demonstrated the most consistency to be named: The FishUSA "King of The Lake Overall Champion".

In 2018, we saw the young guns from Team Copperhead win the main event even though Day 2 was shortened for them due to rough waters. However, the always consistenmt teams from Reel Therapy, Thrillseeker, Fastlane and Vision Quest were close on their heels. One fish coulda made a difference for them but they put two solid days together to edge out Reel Therapy by 1.13 points! Can they do it again in 2019? or will we see some new blood at the winners dance?

 

Kings and cohos can be unpredictable, finicky and aggressive this time of year. Some teams get HOT and others NOT ! The mighty Kings can be straight out, at Weller or at the River? Its’ anyone’s guess really and the weather can throw us a curve ball at any time but we do know one thing that’s not, these freshwater Sharks can be flat out Nasty to us anglers. Gnarly face stagers can destroy tackle and test man and equipment. Sounds fun huh? If you have never tested your fall Shark skills, then this event is for you. This fall Shark fishing stuff can be both addictive and challenging, we must warn you.

The winners of both the fall KOTL and the FishUSA Overall Champion will receive a large novelty cheque and team plaques.

Congratulations to Lyle and Team Copperhead

2016 Fall KOTL Summary

This year’s event started with a cancellation on Friday but a very hopeful forecast was predicted for the weekend, so the tournament’s weather committee opted for a Saturday/Sunday tournament.  Well, the weatherman was right and the weekend was perfect for this year’s fall event.

Fishing was good up to Friday and many wondered what Friday’s north east winds would do to the stable water.  Would it remain unchanged or will it turn the Lake upside down like last year’s fall event?  Well, to the benefit of the tourney anglers, it remained stable and many found good fishing. Saturday’s shotgun start went off without a hitch and teams ran in multiple directions.  At the conclusion of a near perfect weather day, it was the Silver Junkies Team who gained top dog day one honors with an impressive 121 pound box.  They were followed by Team Underdog (113 pounds), Reel Therapy, Vision Quest and Myles Ahead (about 98 pounds each).  Unless Team Silver Junkies flop on day 2, it looked like it was going to be a shoot out for 2nd place!

Like Day one, Sunday’s weather was perfect and the Kings were even more cooperative as only 4 of the competing teams neglected to weigh 5.  Many impressive boxes were hoisted onto the scales Friday including the Outtaline box which weighed 120 pounds.  They were followed by (3) 115 pound boxes weighed in by Silver Junkies, Thrillseeker and Vision Quest.  The Silver Junkies sealed the deal with their 115 pounds and won by an impressive 22 points over second place team; Vision Quest.  Was this destiny?  The Silver Junkies lost their good friend and co-captain; Pat Comerford this past year and not only won the KOTL main event but captured the renamed Pat Comerford High Performance Division. Rounding out the top 5 was: Vision Quest, Thrillseeker, Reel Therapy and Mean Machine.  Thrillseeker, Silver Junkies and Vision Quest also took the top 3 spots in this year’s FishUSA “King of The Lake” overall championship which consisted of scores from both KOTL events and the Wilson Harbor Invitational.
