Bernie Major Memorial Sparrow Lake September 9th 2023

What a beautiful day to have this tournament. First thing is i would like to thank everyone that came out to honour Bernie’s memory, including several past West Toronto members it was greatly appreciated. Before blast off we had a toast in Bernie’s memory as well as after weigh in before everyone departed we had a toast again. We were also informed by his son Mike Major that the family had planted a tree and placed a plaque in Bernie’s memory on the island across from the launch at Lauderdale Marina. I want to congratulate the team of Sandor Arany and George Anderson on taking the win with 14.72 lbs. as well as Big Fish with a 4.35 lb. largie. Coming in second was the team of Dave Faiola and Andy Werner with 10.79 lbs. and rounding out third place was the team of Mike and Mark Major with 10.14 lbs. it is coming down to a tight race in the T.O.T.Y standings with only 3 tournament left to go before the season ends. Good luck to all in the next couple of weeks.
