Published Date: 5/18/2009

FutureBass Pro-Staffer Glenn Walker and partner Adam Hermsen took first place in the annual Grant County Bass Club spring open, held out of Prairie Du Chien, WI.  40 teams turned out to fish the event and the whole field reported a lot of bass being caught, but the majority of them being post-spawn cookie cutter sized fish.

The weather was perfect for a day on the water and the team caught there fish on swimming jigs around emergent vegetation on the middle of the pool.  Once the scales were closed, Walker and Hermsen had an 8 fish limit for 21 lb. to get first place and also big bass with a 4 lb. 14 oz. largemouth that Adam caught.

Glenn would like to thank his sponsors; FutureBass, Eagle Claw, RC Tackle, Quantum, Seaguar and TRICOR Insurance for all playing key roles in the finish today.  More importantly the pre-fishing couldn’t have taken place if it wasn’t for Quam’s Motor Sports for doing such an amazing job getting his motor fixed in time to put in some quality practice time, thanks Quam’s!!  Adam is sponsored by True North Companies
