The Art and Nate VanSteenburg Memorial Classic was held on Otsego Lake, October 16-17. Conditions were tough, with some commenting that they had never seen Otsego Lake as rough as it was on Saturday. That, together with torrential rain, resulted in a challenging day. Sunday wasn't much better with colder temperatures and more rain, but at least the wind was tolerable. Despite the conditions most of the 25 teams managed to bring 5-fish limits to the scales both days.
The tournament was won by Frank Microni and Steve Llewellyn who a good bag the first day and an impressive 17.6 lb limit of largemouths the second day, including Steve's 4.59 lb laremouth that was the big fish of the tournament, for a two-day total of 31.01 lb. See results and standings for more details.
That wraps up the 2021 season. Hopefully we'll be able to have a banquet this year, depending on what happens with Covid. Check back for news on that, and watch your email for details.
