They narrowly slipped by Kettle Moraine High School duo of Henry Erbo and Josh Schmirler who also had four fish that tipped in at 8.06 lbs. to finish second place in the event. Both of these High School teams will represent the State of Wisconsin at the Central Conference Regional Championship on September 12th at Lake Carlyle in Carlyle Illinois.
