Trevor Paulus and Steve Szymczak won the 21st annual Thanksgiving bass tournament on Klinger Lake last weekend.
The winners had 8.25 pounds while Don and Joe DiMarzio were second with 8.16 pounds. Steve Prange and Andy Buss were third with 7.58 pounds.
Tubes, blade baits and Erie Darters produced most of the fish and came from 8 to 15 feet of water.
The tournament was previously scheduled for Baldwin Lake but ice on the channels at the ramp forced the tournament to be moved to Klinger.
Some 15 teams competed in the annual event that was started by Bob Evans and Bill Stankovich on Shavehead Lake in 1991.
Evans said he plans to hold similar event on Thanksgiving Weekend in 2014.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Some of Americas best bass fishing waters and other lesser-known fisheries will play host to competitors in the 2014 B.A.S.S. Nation divisionals.
Two Eufaulas (lakes in both Alabama and Oklahoma) will be the site of divisionals, as well as Virginias Kerr Reservoir and New Yorks St. Lawrence River. Waters such as Montanas Noxon Reservoir and Indianas Lake Monroe that dont have a long history with B.A.S.S. tournaments but have great competition potential are also on the schedule.
Anglers who have qualified for the divisionals will have the great fortune to compete on these lakes, and the top competitor from each state will advance to the 2014 B.A.S.S. Nation Championship.
I think what I like most about B.A.S.S. Nation divisionals is the opportunity to go to places that you dont often think of as well-known tournament destinations, such as Noxon in Montana and Lake Monroe in Indiana, said Jon Stewart, director of the B.A.S.S. Nation, and then turn around and go to fisheries like Lake Eufaula and the St. Lawrence River that are very popular.
It should be another great year on the Nation trail, Stewart added.
