The Muskegon Sportfishing Association held the Lakeside Marine & Muskegon Chronicle Women and Kids Classic Friday July 11th out of Great Lakes Marina in Muskegon, MI.  Particpation was strong, with 20 Pro teams and 23 Am teams registering to compete in the 7am to 12pm contest.  The contest was a 9 rod only, catch your DNR limit, but weigh your biggest 5 fish.

Some very nice 5 fish catches were brought to the scales and a good time was had by most teams although 3' to 4' rollers had more then a few queasy anglers.  The queasiness was not apparent as hearty appetites met at the awards presentation which included a cookout with the Knights of Columbus masterfully preparing brats and hot dogs for the competitors.

Topping the Pro Dvision was Princess Bel with a nice box tipping the scales at 66.45 lbs. followed closely Run-N-Gun with 62.65 lbs. The Pro Top 5 (Click Here - Full Results)
