LAMPEN AND VANDEMARK WIN WWA TEAM CHALLENGE AT LAKE ERIE
Bolles Harbor- Doug Lampen and Steve Vandermark blew away the rest of the
field at the third stop in the World Walleye Association Michigan Team
Challenge division held June 8th on Lake Erie.
Lampen and VandeMark weighed a limit of 45.05 pounds to take the win and
the $1310 first place prize.
Lampen and VandeMark also had the big fish of the tournament weighing
12.15-pounds. The big fish prize was $200 plus an additional $150 donated by
TR-1 Sales of Michigan.
Derek Wilkes and Brian Maurer were second with 29.48-pounds.
Jeff Vereeke and Rick Devries were third with 29.07 pounds.
All the top teams were very closed mouth about the details of the winning
techniques due to an upcoming tournament the following weekend, but the
teams admitted to tolling with crawler harnesses.
All but one team caught their five fish limit proving once again that Lake
Erie is a true walleye factory.
³ I would like to thank Joe Bitz from Erie Party Shoppe and Docks for
arranging a tent and a cook out after the weigh in.² said Jeff Russell,
Michigan Tournament Director, ³
I would also like to thank Jerry from Evergreen Bait for providing the food
for the cook out and also a special thank you to Gary Bowman from TR-1 sales
of Michigan for contributing money for the Big Fish Pot. All the extras were
really appreciated by the competitors.²
