Josh Duggan and Tim Willihnganz win on Madison Chain!
Madison Chain, July 28-29, 2007, by Paul Strege

The duo of Josh Duggan and Tim Willihnganz took home the top honors in the 4-Lakes Bassmasters tournament July 28-29, 2007. They filled their Mazanet Marine Ranger Z20 livewells with two, 6 fish limits of 24.69-pounds and 17.33-pounds, respectively, to secure their victory. Duggan reported catching their big bag in weedbeds on Saturday as a result of the steady wind. Day 2 was more of a challenge as the wind subsided and their fish scattered. By 10:00 am, they only had two fish in the livewell but managed to pull out a solid limit after bouncing onto the right spot. The Duggan – Willihnganz team earned $1325 for the win + $200 for Big Bass (5.31) Day 1.

In second place was the team of Brian Saari and Bill Fleming. They had a limit weighing 24.40 pounds and followed that up with a 15.90 sack on Sunday. On Day 1, they had their final weight by 10:00 am. Saari stated that they did not have a single fish by 8:30 am, but made a few adjustments to their prefishing strategy which allowed them to load the boat. On Day 2, Saari and Fleming struggled in comparison to their previous day’s performance, but still manage a limit to closeout the day. For their efforts, they took home $725 for 2^nd Place + $100 for Second Big Bass (4.96 lbs) Day 1.
