2013 CSFL Classic Day 2: Janzens Remain Leaders as Weights Improve!

By Luigi De Rose

Day 2 was cold but more inviting than many expected. With Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching both open to the Classic anglers, weights went up dramatically. Erny and Franklin Janzen duplicated their Day 1 performance scoring 20.3lbs today and remain in the lead with 41.15lbs for 10 bass. The Johnson brothers proved again that they know smallmouth and sacked the day's heaviest creel with 22.8lbs and advanced to 6th place. The day's big bass, a 6.6lb beauty, was brought to the scales by Ryan and Callum Johnson. They currently are sitting in 4th place with 37.2lbs.

Day 3 will surely be a nail biter. Many 20 pound plus tournament limits are possible, so if any of the leaders slip, even a little, it might spell doom for them.

2013 CSFL Classic Day 1: Team Janzen Scores over 20 Pounds to Take Lead.

By Luigi De Rose

Cold temperatures, high winds and disappointment fell over the CSFL Classic qualifiers on the first day of the 2013 CSFL Classic. Extreme weather forced the closure of Lake Simcoe resulting in anglers limited to Lake Couchiching. Even under horrible fishing conditions, the air temp dropped over 30 degrees C in 48 hours,  these anglers proved why they are the best. Erny and Franklin Janzen bested them all with a 20.85 bag including the day's largest bass, a 5.85 brute.

Day 2 should see the wind diminish greatly but the damage might have already been done. We'll find out tomorrow if the wind and cold temperatures have spoiled Lake Simcoe.
