CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THAT PARTICIPATED IN OUR 2009 SPRING OPEN TOURNAMENT!
On May 9th 2009 we held our first of two major tournaments of the year.  The 25th Annual Mothers Day Tourney (also known as the Spring Open) held at Huckleberry Harbor in Shawano Wisconsin.

This years Spring Open's first day produced 295 bass for a total weight of 697 pounds,  caught and released back to Shawano Lake, and the Wolf River, to be caught again



59 teams came from as far away as Michigan and the Milwaukee area to compete.
These tournaments are fund raisers for Shawano Bass Masters, to contribute to the Shawano Summer School Program, Safe Haven, and other local organizations
On Sunday, May 10th 2009, the Open Tournament, had 32 teams, and a total of 143 bass weighing in at 348 pounds
Although it was on the chilly side in the morning, it did not keep our teams from giving their best effort to win.
Catch-and-release fishing is an important tool to conserve fish resources, keeping mortality low to sustain and recover fish populations. By releasing fish, anglers allow a single fish to be "recycled" to provide recreation for others and also resulting in greater numbers of larger fish.
We hope that you can join us next year!
