Welcome to the Michigan BASS Web Site...
Official web site of the Michigan BASS Federation Nation
Tom Kiefer reports back about the Nationals...
It was an honor to represent the state of Michigan and the Michigan Bass Federation.  The state has many outstanding fisherman and I feel fortunate to have been able to advance to the nationals.  The BASS Federation Alliance with Mercury, Triton, Lowrance, Motor Guide, Yamaha, and Skeeter, treated all the contenders like royalty.  I was very humbled by the experience.  The other contenders  were not just outstanding fisherman but were great people who I will always remember.
 
The National Championship Tournament was well organized and completely professional.  We need to support our sponsors for this amazing week and event.  I want to thank the members of the Michigan BASSmasters from whom I learned many fishing techniques and strategies. Finally, thank you to the Michigan BASS Federation for their sponsorship which made this experience possible.

Our 2010 Adult Michigan  Northern Divisional State Team gets a 2nd place finish.
 
After a slow day one start put the Michigan team in 5th place,  the team, along with the help our two Junior Michigan Anglers Danny Sprague and Dalton Breckel, worked together to finish with a 2nd place trophy along with earning $ 3,500.00.
 
The last day of the event found our anglers with an off limits in place due to the high winds that started their day of fishing. Big Bay De Doc was made off limits, leaving only Little Bay open to them to fish.  Most of anglers were originally fishing the Big Bay, one who did not fish Big Bay was Gerald Woodard, from Detroit Bass Club. That worked out for Gerald.
Congratulations to our NEW 2010 Michigan top angler GERALD WOODARD of the Detroit BASS Club.  With an overall 6th place finish Gerald brought in 13 of 15 fish with a total weight of 41-09 pounds.
 
Gerald will now be going on to represent our Michigan B.A.S.S. Federation Nation at the National Championship . The tournament will be on the Red River in Shreveport, La. at the end of October.
All of our members and his family will be able to watch all of his weigh-ins live on the ESPN live streaming video each day. You just need to have your FREE BASS INSIDER account  in place.
 
If Gerald becomes the top angler from the other 8 anglers in his Northern Division, he would then be in the next BASSMASTERS WORLD CLASSIC in February.
 
I know we all wish him the very best of luck and know that he will make us all proud at the National and hopefully at the CLASSIC !
