Another 20+ lb Kam caught on LPO!

Paul Bartlett landed this 20 lb 2 oz monster on May 13th thus fostering the idea that the best three months of the year for fishing on LPO are May, May and of course, May. No details with the picture but I'm sure there will be a 'fish story' in the next edition of the LPOIC magazine.

 2010 LPOIC Spring Derby Youth Division Winners

These kids have obviously have better fishing skills than their parents since we didn't notice any of the parent's names on the money list! GREAT JOB KIDS and congratulations on your trophies!

 (sorry, 1st and 2nd place winners were not present for pictures)

2010 LPOIC Spring Derby winning Kam and Macks.

True Ott had the largest Kam of the derby with an 18 lb 2 oz caught near Cedar Creek on the last day of the derby. Nice! 

Lana Kay Hanson's 19 lb Mack caught on April 26th near mineral Point in 700' of water! This was her second 15+ lb Mack in less than a week. All five of the award winning macks were over 15 lbs so even though the derby is over, there more mack catchin' to do!

Complete derby results are in the forum! Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all of the people that helped make the 2010 Spring K&K Derby a success.

 Early in the derby, Cory Larue caught this 13lb, 2oz Kam after nearly going in early because of poor weather. Good thing he stayed out. Unless of course you are looking at it from the fishes point of view! 

There are still big fish in the lake! Dale Greene caught this gorgeous 16 lb 10 oz mack on April 12th (before the derby started) and still came up about a pound short of taking the lead in this months "Mack of the Month" contest! With the Spring Derby coming up, it's time to oil up the reels and gas up the boat!
