2024 Youth Tournament Results

The 2024Youth Tourney was held on Muskegon Lake June 29. After a couple of days of watching the weather forecast, finally it improved enough for the board to move forward with the event. Fortunately, the storms moved through, and the skies cleared by 7 AM so we could start the event on time. 16 groups with 32 kids ventured out on the lake to see what they could catch. For the first time in the history of the event there were no walleye caught. At least there were plenty of other types willing to bite. A big thank you goes out to Rick Friske for his work in the organization of the event. Renee Davis, Mike Thompson, Stan Sobota, Greg Gallas, Paul & Kris Antonowitsch,Larry Reames, Jay Taylor, Amy Barnes and Derek Nykamp did a great deal of work in pulling the event off. Thank you also goes out to Shelby Nykamp and Trisha VanderWagen for their work in preparation of the food provided to the participants and their families. Derrick Cross did some running around picking up tackle boxes and received a donation of a great deal of tackle that was given away. The grand prize bicycle donated by Stan Sobota was won by Avianna Gonzales. All in all, it was a successful event again. Planning is already underway for next year.
