Congratulations to Nathan Whiting and Brian Wood who win the 2010 Full Throttle Bass tournament on Balsam Lake in Wisconsin. Nathan and Brian won the tournament fishing shallow during a very wet rainy day with 15.63 lbs of 5 quality largemouth good for $2421.00. This team has really put together something special on Balsam Lake as this is their 2nd year in a row winning the Balsam Lake Full Throttle event. Great Job!

Second place goes out to the veteran team of Mike Hoen and Gene Tourville with 12.81 lbs good for $1271lbs. Mike Hoen also works as a salesman for Frankie's Marine the number one Ranger Boats dealership in the world. Great guy to go to if you are looking for a new boat. Gene Tourville is from Balsam Lake Wisconsin and knows the lake as well as anyone. 

The always tough team of Amiot and Amiot came in third place with 12.58 lbs and wins $906. The father and son team credited having good sunglasses as the key to their success. 

Friday night's pre-tournament meeting took place at Frankie's Marine in Chisago MN. The teams hung out with the Ranger boats and ate dinner which included turkey, ham, and roast beef sandwiches. 

Our speakers were James Hodges who gave his testimony along with Jeff Bosshardt who spoke about his faith. We had 7 first time decisions the Lord at this tournament. Great job guys.

Special thanks to sponsors- North Star Imaging, Mercury Marine, Ranger Boats, Liddle Marketing, Cabela's, Humminbird, Minnkota, Account Source, and Frankie's Marine.
