Bagged bass mystery remains unsolved

Tournament director Rory Franks and the Ohio Division of Wildlife may never solve the mystery of a wire mesh bag filled with lively bass, but it certainly made for an interesting weekend on the Portage Lakes.

An angler discovered the batch of fish Friday afternoon while testing West Reservoir for Franks' $10,000 Portage Powerhouse bass tournament on Saturday and Sunday.

The wire basket anchored by a cord had five good-sized bass in it. Possibly a scheme to cheat in the weekend tournament, the find was reported to Phil Hillman, head of fisheries for the ODOW at the Portage Lakes district office in Akron.
