2005 Junior Invitational Trail

Brookville Reservoir – Sept. 18, 2005

 

   The last stop on the 2005 Indiana BASS Federation / Jay Gearld Memorial Junior Invitational Trail was held at Brookville Reservoir. The day started out with fog consuming most of the lake and temperatures hovering around 55 degree mark when the tournament started. It warmed up to the low 70’s later in the day with bright sunny conditions.

   All though the conditions were great for the anglers, the fish did not seem to want to cooperate as much. Only two juniors managed catching fish to bring to the scales. Finishing first was Spencer Worthington. He had one fish that weighed 1.8 lbs. This was Spencer’s second win of the year. Spencer won the big bass award with that fish. Finishing second was Ben Otte with one fish that weighed 1.4 lbs.

  Congratulations to Spencer Worthington for being your 2005 Junior State Champion!

Congratulations to all the juniors on a great effort this year!
