Mark and Suzette Michael (Union City, Mich.) had five keeper bass weighing 9.82 pounds to win the Casting Couples tournament on Pine and Stone lakes in LaPorte.

The winners never started their big motor and fished Poor Boys Wigglers wacky-style in 4-6 feet of water to catch their fish.

The brother and sister team of Mike Martin and Jennifer Hibner (LaPorte) had four keepers totaling 7.26 pounds to finish second. They used Senkos and a frog in 2-4 feet of water.

Rick and Jennifer Kedik (Niles) only had two fish, but one of them weighed 4.08 pounds that earned them third place and big bass honors. They fished jigs in 4-6 feet.

The next event is on Magician Lake June 20th from 6:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Call Rick (269)240-4917 for more information.
