Oct. 9-George Hudson Fall Fishing Classic 2007

On the weekend of September 22nd and 23rd, the Long Lake Fishing Club held its annual fall fishing event.  This year’s event was given a new name in honor of a long time board member George Hudson who took that long fishing trip home this last year.

 As always, this year’s event gave use some surprises.  There were 15 anglers registered catching a total of 23 fish. They included 7 keeper Northern Pike between 26 Ό” and 30 ½”.  In the Walleye category, there were three fish registered; 18 Ό”, 19 Ύ” and 20 ½”.  A big surprise came in the Large Mouth Bass category with only 3 bass registered; 16 1/8”, 17” and 18 Ύ”.  Some said that the front which went through the night before put them off the bite.  Tell that to the Northern!  Six perch measuring between 4” and 10 Ό” we registered.  Even those small ones counted.  While those small Perch might not seem like much, they did play a part in the eventual winner’s total.  Eight Bluegills were registered measuring between 6” and 61/2”.  And another surprise was that only one crappie was registered measuring 9”.

 As to the winners, prizes were given out based on the total points of each angler.  Anglers received one point for each inch of fish registered.  Anglers were allowed to register one fish from each category, with the largest fish from the two days counting. 

 Here are the winners and their point totals

First Place – Matt Kissinger - 60.875 points

Second Place – Boyd Stoffel - 60 points

Third Place – Don Enders – 43.5 points

Fourth Place – Fred Berthlein – 43.125 points

Fifth Place – Mike Schuette – 43 points

Sixth Place – Jeff Berthlein – 42.5 points

September 27- According to Don Koerble a long time Long Lake resident and blue gill fisherman, the changing weather has affected fishing this year.  "You just never know what each day will bring.   Sometimes you will catch your limit and the next day, nothing."  They are out there, just unpredictable!
