2008 Mancelona Bass Festival Fishing Tournament
Thanks to all of the participants. The 2008 event had many more entries than last year. The new format seemed to work fine. Everyone was honest and kept the fishing tales to a minimum. The winning fish was over 6 1/2 pounds. Great job by all!

The winner from 2007 was a nice fish, but would it have made it in the top five this year? It looks like 2008 was a banner year!
