We had 4 boats show up for the event, there was not much enthusiasm to fish for white bass so fishing for muskie became the event of the day. No muskie was caught despite the favorable conditions. King of the Lake competition concluded on Sunday November 5 th. As with previous legs of the tournament no fish were caught. Jim Ashton took big fish honors by virtue of draw. There is no King of the Lake this year!!!!!!
