First Glen Elder Drum Tournament Results Announced

A unique event was held at Glen Elder Reservoir on Saturday, July 3^rd as 23 teams competed in the first annual drum tournament. This tournament was guaranteed to provide

plenty of action for all teams and bring some attention to the underappreciated drum. Following a pre-tournament meeting at 7:30, contestants fished until 1:00 with no limit to the number or size of drum that could be weighed in. In addition, a big fish contest was held with a separate pot. A total of 447 drum were weighed in with over 750 pounds of fish caught.  Winners included:

• 1^st  Place – $460 – Tyler Schoen and Zoe Girard – 101 pounds
• 2^nd Place – $287 – Mitchell Gourley and Craig Dilley – 75 pounds
• 3^rd Place – $160 – Michael Peters and Gage Grauerholz – 67 pounds
• 4^th Place – $42 – Johnny Dillow II and Jesse Wetzel – 63 pounds
• Big fish – $200 and filet knife – Michael and Kim Martin – 7.2 pounds
• Big fish (youth) – Rod/Reel Combo – Camden Hamilton – 2.6 pounds

Congratulations to all of our winners and thank you to everyone for participating.  Special thanks to the Glen Elder Marina for donating the rod and reel combo for the biggest fish in the youth category and to Norman’s Northshore for donating an electric filet knife for the biggest fish.

We plan on hosting this event next year around the 4^th of July weekend so mark it on your calendars!
