Local anglers Doug McBride and Steve Ballan teamed up to capture third place–and $4,000–in the annual Shoal Lake Bass Classic.
Fishing against 71 other teams on the water, the duo finished with a two-day total weight of 28.36 pounds.
Both men are planning to fish in the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship here July 27-29 although not with each other.
McBride will fish with his son, Zack, while Ballan will team up with his brother, Kent, for the three-day derby on Rainy Lake.
