Striper tourney hands out awards
HUNTINGDON—Pete Fedoruk and Ed Morningstar were the winners of the Raystown Striper Club Spring Reunion Tournament held this past weekend at Lake Raystown.
Fedoruk, of Seward, and Morningstar, of Blairsville, shared in the first-place prize of $5,000. A total of $12,500 was awarded in an event that featured 300 fishermen competing in 92 boats. The winners caught four fish together that totaled more than 50 pounds.
This was the seventh year the event has been held and was sponsored by Lowrance Electronics. The tournament began at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday and ended at noon on Sunday. All of the fish that were caught had to be striped bass to be eligible for the prize money.
The winning team of the “Big Lunker” award — given to the overall heaviest fish — was the team of Travis Boyd (Alexandria), Jason Heckendorn (Lewistown), Mat Davoli (Alexandria) and Martin Luicne (Huntingdon).
