On Saturday 6/01/13 the Minnesota Federation of Bass Anglers held the Minnesota State High School Bass Championship on Medicine Lake at Clifton French Park in Plymouth, MN. The lake is well suited for all styles of fishing. The water temp was still between 63-66 degree and there were quite a few bass that were still on beds. The 2013 Minnesota High School champions are Kaleb Seeger and Jake Saterbak of Osseo High School with a bag weight of 15.57,  2^nd place went to Ryan Hooper and Isaac Johnson from Brainerd High School with the weight of 12.63 and 3^rd place was Austin Anderly and Will Stalks of LeSueur-Henderson/ Brainerd High Schools with a weight of 12.62. We had 18 teams enter the tournament this year. It was a very diverse group with some fishing 6-8 events a year and to some it was their first tournament ever. The sun was out most of the day and then we had a little bit of rain during weigh ins. All in all it was very enjoyable experience for everyone. Awards and prizes were furnished by our generous sponsors at Cabela’s, Ranger Boats, Solar Bat eyewear, and Berkley.
