Casting Couples Report

Rick Kedik and Jake Lisenko - 1st Place

Rick Kedik and Jake Lisenko had five keeper bass totaling 14.86 pounds to win the Casting Couples Open on Lake Wawasee Saturday.

They beat out eight other teams fishing under blustery conditions to take home $250. They added another $40 for catching the biggest bass of the tournament with a 5.50-pound largemouth.  They used jerkbaits on a shallow flat, but once they lost the hot jerkbait on a cast, they never got another bite. They declined to mention the brand and color.

Cassidy and Hurd were second with 13.17 pounds, earning $150. They used tubes and jerkbaits in about 10 feet.

Third place went to Andrew Hankins who fished alone and caught 12.52 pounds by fishing in the shallow backwaters with jigs.

Five teams weighed in limits and at least seven bass were 3 pounds or greater.

Next Regular Casting Couples (male/female) tournament is on Webster Lake May 18th. Contact Rick, 269-240-4917 for info, or Facebook MichianaCastingCouples.
