Once again, John Gipson Jr. (Battle Ground, Ind.) and Tom Noe (Benton Harbor) dominated a tournament, this time on Magician Lake in the Big Bass Challenge Circuit last weekend.
The duo had 13.51 pounds, including the big bass of the event (3.76 pounds) to win $350. They caught bass on jigs around docks and dropshots in 15-20 feet of water.
Second place ($250) went to Steve Januchowski (LaPorte) and Rick Ponder (Michigan City) with 11.33 pounds. Mike and Lee (no last names available) were third ($150). Scot Kulp (Elkhart) and Scott Woods (South Bend) were fourth ($100) with 10.05.
The next event is Aug. 3 at Juno Lake. Entry fee is $85 and the tournament is limited to the first 25 boats that pre-register at Clear H2o Tackle in Edwardsburg.
