What an incredible day on the water for the Hartley’s Hawgs teams at the Ohio Bass Federation Junior State Championship held on Mosquito Creek Lake near Cortland!

A huge congratulations goes out to the team of Carter and Marlon for bringing home the State Championship victory!

The anglers faced classic Northeast Ohio spring fishing conditions throughout the tournament. The day started overcast with rain and then temperatures climbed into the low 70s with breezy southwest winds creating challenging boat control and changing fishing patterns across the lake.

Most importantly, we want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of our volunteer boat captains. Your time, dedication, patience, and willingness to invest in these young anglers make programs like Hartley’s Hawgs possible. From early mornings at the ramp to long days on the water, your support gives kids opportunities they will remember for the rest of their lives. We truly could not do this without you.

Congratulations again to Carter and Marlon on the State Championship victory, and thank you to everyone who helped make this a successful and memorable tournament day for Hartley’s Hawgs!
