Casting Couples Report
Loren and Carrie Crosbie - 1st Place
Loren and Carrie Crosbie won their second consecutive Casting Couples Classic, taking the top spot in last Saturday’s event at Lake St. Clair.
The weather forecast called for NE winds 5 -10 mph and would change throughout the day to E/SE. As usual, the meteorologist was wrong;Â the wind blew out of the NE 10-15 all day, which made for quite a bit of a chop on the water. There were 14 teams with six limits of bass weighed in, four bass over 4 pounds, and six money-paying spots.Â
The Crosbies had a decent limit of smallmouth bass but stopped at one last spot with 15 minutes left in the tournament to catch their biggest bass, a 4.15-pound smallmouth. The Crosbies weighed in 19pounds to take home $1000 and then had the second biggest bass of the day to earn another $65. The Crosbies used Zoom worms on a NED head to catch most of their fish in 8-10 feet of water.
Ryan and Alyssa Yoder - 2nd Place
Second-place finishers were Ryan and Alyssa Yoder, with 17.5 pounds to take home $500. The couple fished swimbaits in 10-20 feet of water near the Canadian border.
Jake and Cheyenne Lisenko - 3rd Place
Jake and Cheyenne Lisenko were third with 16.10 pounds, earning $300. The Lisenkos used tubes and Ned rigs to catch their fish in 6-10 feet of water. They also caught the biggest bass of the event, a 5.4-pound smallmouth, to earn a bonus $100.
Rick and Jennifer Kedik - 4th Place
