The WWA is a two-man team event. Each fisherman can keep three.

Results?

I see the rest of the ohio weekend tourneys have been posted.

Heard Lash and Joseph won with about 34 pounds. Heard there were only 4 teams too. How much does a 4 team tourney pay anyway?

Thanks Bob.

We would have like to seen a better turnout but you're fishing to bring in the best bag of fish you can-regardless of how many entrants there are, as we would in any other tournament. If you check the WWA site (link below) it already has updates and pictures of all the WWA tourneys to date, including the Erie event.

As far as payout, I believe they pay the top 15% of the field as a rule. With 4 entrants-that meant only paying the top spot.
