Jim and Mike Passarelli - 1st Place

Jim and Mike Passarelli won the Michiana Fishing League (MFL) tourney on Pipestone Lake last weekend.

Contestants said the tourney was a grind for most of them with a lot of 13.75-inch bass caught. Some said they saw a few fish still bedding.

The Passarellis had 15.61 pounds including big bass, a 3.73 pounder. They said they caught their fish with jerkbaits and by punching the pads.

Kevin Grubbs and Richard Hock were second with 9.70 pounds while Lane and Jeremy Groves were third with 8.43 pounds.

The next open is July 17th on Pipestone. Monitor the group’s Facebook page for a pop-up open event coming this Saturday.
