Huron Hawg Fest Summary - September 25th, 2004 |
The first annual Huron Hawg Fest Walleye Tournament and Pig Roast commenced on Saturday, September 25th 2004 and is regarded as a huge success! The tournament brought in a competitive 51 boat field, with 150 anglers participating, weighing in over 790 lbs. of Walleye. After the tournament weigh-in at the Huron Boat Basin, the participants headed over to The Plantation in Huron for a pig roast and awards presentation, complete with a Walleye fish fry, live entertainment, and Lake Erie trips raffles. Thanks to everyone who participated, volunteered, and sponsored the event, and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year for the 2005 Huron Hawg Fest!
Big fish for the tournament was a 10.6 lb. fish brought in by the team of Carpenter, Kramp, Everett, Everett. The big fish pot paid out two places with first place being $860. The 2nd place big fish was 9.75 pounds by the team of Hazeley, Estes, Williams, Henderson and paid $460.00. The big fish pot was added to by a generous donation of $400.00 from Reliant Mortgage Concepts. The majority of the teams fished close to the sand bar of Lorain and ran a variety of spoons, crankbaits and worm harness’ to catch their fish. Most of the fish from this area were caught in 42 to 46 foot of water. Some of the teams opted for the shallower water closer to shore in 22 -28 foot of water and that also produced fish with the majority of those coming on crankbaits. There were a total of 206 fish brought to the scales for a total weight of over 796 lbs.

With an estimated 300 people in attendance, the Hawg Fest pig roast and awards presentation kicked off immediately following the tournament, at the Plantation Motel on the shores of beautiful Lake Erie. Attendees socialized and dined on roasted hog and fresh walleye with all of the fixings', and were entertained by two live bands throughout the night. The evening was highlighted by the tournament awards presentations, and some lucky participants winning raffled Lake Erie fishing trips. The food was excellent, the people were outstanding, and we look forward to doing it all again next year at the 2005 Huron Hawg Fest! Raffle
