What a day on Portage Lakes! First and foremost, we’d like to thank everyone who came out and participated in another great Lakes Tournament Trail event. With a large field and a busy launch area, we weren’t sure what to expect, but thanks to everyone’s cooperation, communication, and patience, the day went incredibly smooth from start to finish.
Our anglers continue to prove why they are some of the best tournament fishermen in Northeast Ohio. Portage Lakes is fishing exceptionally well right now, and it showed on the scales. It took some serious weight to find yourself near the top of the leaderboard, and the competition was fierce all day long.
