NICC Report

Jonathan and Vanessa Pearson - 1st Place

Jonathan and Vanessa Pearson took first place in the Northern Indiana Couples Circuit (NICC) on Skinner Lake Saturday.

The Pearsons had a limit of 11 pounds, 8 ounces. Their catch included a 4-9 – their first fish of the day and they didn’t get their last keeper fish until 20 minutes were left in the tournament. Their fish were caught by flipping a Missile Baits D-Bomb in bruiser flash color on a 1-ounce weight into shallow pads and mats

Connor Tonkel and Ava Godbey - 2nd Place

Connor Tonkel and Ava Godbey were second with four fish weighing 11-1. They also had a 4- pound, 9-ounce largemouth they caught in the final 10 minutes. They caught their fish flipping a black and blue Strike King Punch Bug on a ¾-ounce weight in the pads.

Chuck and Chlesea Fleshman - 3rd Place, Big Bass

Chuck and Chlesea Fleshman brought in two bass weighing 9-4 that included a massive 6-pound, 15-ouncer that won them big bass prize. The big fish ate a Senko in shallow water, and was thought to be a muskie until Chuck got a look at it in the muddy water.

The group’s final event is set for Aug. 26 at Webster Lake. For more information, visit the circuit’s facebook page or the Michiana Outdoors News Lake Drive Events Calendar.
