Thank you all for supporting us on Lake Winnipesaukee here in the Lake Region of New Hampshire. We hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather and the solid fishing. It’s a slugfest out there for sure, and there is a lot of room for big moves tomorrow.
It’s a tight race. This lake can kick out some big bags. Our leader is sitting at 92.75 inches, but our top 25 are all over 85 inches. Tomorrow will be crucial for sure.
Some notes going into the final day-

– Cell Service/Submission Deadline. You all did great with fish submissions. Thank you for submitting fish early and often. There were a few drops in cell signal, but we were able to resolve issues quickly because you all submitted fish early. Reminder: No more pictures may be taken after 2:30pm. Submission Deadline is hard at 3:30pm. If you have problems, call the Tournament Director.
– Fish Management. Lots of fish are being caught. Take multiple pictures. Be prepared for a text or phone call if there is a problem.
– Mouth Closed. Remember to keep your mouth completely closed to get the best score. Lots of open mouth deductions today.
– Sun is HARSH/Watch for glares. Please be aware of the sun on your ID and board so the glare isn’t blowing it out.
– Overhead Pictures. When you take a picture with a bad angle, I can only judge what I see. It really does matter.
– I didn’t mention Check-in/Check-out at the Registration Meeting, but you all did a great job doing it anyways. Thank you for that. Please remember to check-in before launching in the morning and check-out when you get off the water. If you forgot to check-out today, go ahead and do that now. This feature is found on the TourneyX app in the top left box.

– Everyone must write, preferably using a Sharpie, on the Day 2 ID LRA. I have to see LRA in your picture for the fish to count.
– Bassin Magazine Big Bass will pay out $500 to the big bass of the event. Currently, currently 3 anglers are tied with 20.25 inches.

Report
Cooler temperatures in the north brought hot fishing to 80 anglers willing to explore the far reaches of the Lake Region in New Hampshire. Lake Winnipesaukee proved to be a largemouth and smallmouth paradise for the 6th stop of the Hobie BOS – Bass
Open Series Anchored by Power-Pole Total Boat Control.
Day one was dominated by largemouth early only to be bested by Justin Lacasse with a day leading 92.75 inches anchored by a 20.25 inch smallmouth creating a 3-way tie for big bass. The rest of the field was stacked up tightly with 51 anglers having over 80 inches and 67 limits caught.
Day 2 is always a day of adjustments. Close on the heels of our day 1 leader was Justin Largen with 90.25 inches and building. Largen stalled out early with 4 fish, and the rest of the field started making moves. Matthew Zapala and Ryan Nye made quick jumps to the top of the leaderboard with Zapala overtaking Lacasse by .25 inches for the lead.
Smallmouth dominated day 2 until the final hours when Justin Largen finished out his limit anchoring his 92.75 inch day with a 19.50 inch largemouth. His combined total of 183.00 inches put him on top of the leaderboard for a $5,000 pay day, Ketch Custom Trophy, and a secured place in the Tournament of Champions.
Matthew Zapala had consistent days with 89.50 inches and 89 inches respectively to secure 2nd place with 178.50 inches total earning him $2,750.00. Justin Lacasse’s 178.25 inches was enough to secure 3rd place and $1,950.00
Big bass went back and forth with several anglers reaching the 20.25 inch mark with both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Day 2 looked to be dominate by a 20.75 inch giant smallmouth until Jason Cassetty secured the Bassin Magazine Big Bass award with a 21-inch tank of a largemouth to close out the final hour and earn the $500.00 prize.
Top 3 from Lake Winnipesaukee are automatically qualified for the 2022 Tournament of Champions on Caddo Lake in Shreveport- Bossier City, LA this November. Our top 50 anglers will be competing for 10 paid places, a $45,000 1st Place prize, and $100,000 total prize payout guarantee.
