St. Lawrence
June 28, 2003

Top 5 Finishers, left to right,1st to 5th place: Antonio Gallelli, Jim Missel, Brandon Jacobs (not in picture), Dean Meces, Joe Liptak

Saturday June 28th, arriving at the ramp at 4:00 a.m. as usual. There was much concern over weather conditions. The day before we had winds gusting 10 to 25 mph, for those of you who do not know the St. Lawrence this could throw anywhere from 3 to 5 foot waves. However, Saturday morning winds were light, and eased a lot of tension. Weather forecast was calling for 5 to 10 mph winds which was about right. We had 22 anglers for this tournament which is the 2nd tournament in a row that we had a full field. Thank you guys for participating!!

At launch water was flat, skies were clear, a bluebird day. Temperature got to about 80, I think summer has arrived, finally! We only had 3 anglers come in without fish. Your host being one of them and on his home water, no less!

Water conditions, depending on where you fished was anywhere from the low 60’s to the low 70 degree temperature. Water clarity was again clear. Like you could read a book at a 10 foot depth. Winds picked up slightly in the afternoon and we had about a 1 to 2 foot wave action.

1st Place Antonio Gallelli 13.16 lbs.
2nd Place Jim Missel 13.00 lbs.
3rd Place Brandyn Jacob 12.40 lbs.
4th Place Dean Meckes 11.97 lbs.
5th Place Joe Liptak 11.18 lbs.

Big Bass 1st Dean Meckes 5.27 lbs.
2nd Don Tripoli 4.90 lbs

Congratulations to Antonio Gallelli he has qualified as a winner using a Lucky Craft Samme Lure in his tournament win!
