The Ohio Walleye Federation Pymatuning Lake Tournament

The Ohio Walleye Federation held its second tournament of 2014 on Pymatuning Lake on May 4^th.  This was the first time the Ohio Walleye Federation has hosted a tournament on Pymatuning since its inception in 2010.  Most OWF anglers had not fished Pymatuning in years and some had never fished it leaving anglers excited and unsure of what to expect.  When the scales closed the results were beyond everyones expectations with the team of Sammy Cappelli and Ted Jackson taking top honors bringing in a 5 fish limit of 23.42lbs breaking the OWF record for heaviest 1 days basket on the ILC.  Cappelli and Jackson were trolling leadcore and Reef Runner minirips targeting breaks in 10-15ft of water.   Robert Burkholder and Marion Erb took 2nd place with 20.26lbs trolling leadcore and crankbaits in 17-22ft of water.  Other teams placing in the money included Allshouse/Hilty in 3rd with 17.9lbs, James/Momirov in 4^th with 16.6lbs  and Drotar/Bowen in 5^th with 15.84lbs.   Big fish went to the team of Allshouse/Hilty with a 7.22lb giant caught on a Berkley Flickershad.  Most of the tournament field was trolling shad imitating crankbaits 1.7-2.3mph  in 14-20ft.   The next OWF Inland Lake Circuit tournament will he held on Lake Milton on May 18^th.
