Brandon Manis and Marc Shepard, winners of several events throughout the season, secured a second-place finish thanks to a big fish of 1.73 pounds, while Dennis Polter and Blake Wagner rounded out the top three with a bag of 8.77 pounds.
​

Carsyn Brees, a youth angler, also caught a nice 1.64-pound slab that nearly won the big fish award.

A total of 58 fish weighing 66.68 pounds were weighed Saturday at Melvern, with an average weight of 1.14 pounds per fish.

Ryan German and Tony Niemeyer won the previous tournament at El Dorado with a record-breaking bag of 11.75 pounds and a big fish of 1.95 pounds. The record for biggest fish is 2.11 pounds, caught by Manis on Perry.

The KCC/Kansas Crappie Trail State Championship Tournament, which can only be entered through qualifying, will take place Sept. 8-9 at Perry Reservoir. The tournament will have a seven-fish weigh-in with cash prizes and trophies for the top three teams, plus the big fish contest. Organizer Joe Bragg predicted a prize of $3,000 to $3,500 for the top team.

FEW SPOTS REMAIN FOR BOW WORKSHOP

Only five spots remained as of this week for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism’s Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Program, which runs Sept. 14-16 at Rock Springs 4-H Center.

For those who are unable to make it or are too late to register, however, there’s good news. A spring BOW workshop will take place May 3-5, 2019. Once available, registration materials can be found online at www.ksoutdoors.com by clicking “Education,” then “Becoming An Outdoor Woman” or by calling KDWPT at (620) 672-5911.

Volunteer instructors at both events will teach participants a variety of outdoors-related skills, including fishing techniques, wingshooting, camping, orienteering, rifle marksmanship, botany, dog handling and more.

“Bring the family and come hungry,” organizer Dylan Faulconer said. “There will be plenty of food.”

There is a $5 parking fee for parking at a state park, and cash donations are welcomed at the event. All proceeds from the dinner, raffle and auction will go to the Kansas Children’s Service League.
