ow! They did it again. The 2009 Atikokan Bass Classic, bigger and better than ever, came off without a hitch Friday and Saturday. And with a year under their belts, the anglers got a little better, too. Twenty pound bags were not uncommon over the two days, and the top three teams both cracked the 40 lb. barrier, and topped last year's winning total. Last year's runners-up, the Thunder Bay duo of Glenn Leroux and Trevor Zimak, broke the 21 lb mark for the second and third times - they did on Saturday (21.03 lb) last year, and both days this year (21.07 and 21,01 lb) - to win the event this year. They were third after Friday's fishing, and, with a packed house under the big tent looking on (very enthusiastically), they sweated through the weigh-ins of Tammy and Jason Mattson, and Doug McBride and Morgan Cadene. Both came up just short. Leroux and Zimak had taken the lead from the Todd and Steven Bryk - the father-son combo who had taken the lead from another father-son combo, Kim and Aaron Wiens. The Mattsons won a nice consolation prize, taking big hawg honours with the first six-pounder in the event's history (6.5 lbs, actually). Kreg and Monty Groulx took top honours Saturday, with a 5.93 lb monster. By Michael McKinnon - Atikokan Progress
