Saturday marked the 13th annual Northern Lakes Bassmasters Lake Tomahawk Open. While the sun was shining, making it a warm day on the water, the wind was also blowing, making certain places, especially on Lake Tomahawk itself, difficult to fish. Anglers had the ability to fish the entire Minocqua Chain, however. This meant many anglers made the run up to lakes Minocqua and Kawageusaga in search of some good largemouth.

According to tournament director Hans Taffs, there were several new teams in the event this year. In all, 32 teams took part, catching 140 fish in all. Twenty-two teams were able to bring their six-fish limit to the scales while seven teams were unsuccessful in boating a fish. There is no minimum length limit on the Lake Tomahawk/Minocqua chain for bass which, for some, allowed them to bring in a limit, even if it was a small limit. It took 14.58 pounds to win the tournament. It was no surprise to many in the field this limit was brought in by the father and son duo of Ted and Ted Heitschmidt.
