Michigan Wins Back-to-Back Division Titles!
The 2009 Northern Division Champions from Michigan made a
statement last week in Iowa that they will be the team to beat. They
led the event wire to wire and finished up back to back division
champions. Can they make it three in a row? Next year’s event will tell that story, but the Michigan team fished a
nearly flawless event out of Fort Madison, Iowa on the Mississippi
river this year and finished with 171 pounds even, besides he lion’s share of the nearly $25,000.00 in prize money, they also took home the Team Standings Ranger Cup money.
