The 17th annual Muransky Companies Bass Classic, hosted by Aqua Ohio, and benefiting the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, will be held on Sat., June 4 at Evans and Pine Lakes. 57 teams of professional bass anglers and their amateur partners will compete for cash and prizes on the bass-filled reservoirs.
      The tournament is introducing a new weighing system patterned after Major League Fishing. Each Pro/Am team will be joined by a volunteer judge who will weigh every eligible Bass, and then release it back into the waters. All the weight will be recorded on a web based site created special for the Muransky Companies Bass Classic. Prizes will be awarded for total weight and big bass following the end of the tournament 2:30pm.
      While the anglers are on the water, kids are invited to the Fin Feather Fur Fish and Fun event, which will take place at Evans Lake from 11:00am-1:00pm. This part of the event is open to the public. The first two hundred kids will receive food and goodie bags sponsored by Fin, Feather, and Fur (12 and under). Kids are permitted to fish along the shore, but must bring their own equipment
