Libitka and Bennett win KBI

It came down to the wire, but the Kenora duo of Mark Libitka and Dave Bennett took away top honors at the 24th annual Kenora Bass International.

They reeled in 50.67 pounds of bass, just edging out Jeff Gustafson and Chris Savage, who weighed in
last on day three of KBI on Saturday.

Jess Swenson and Michael Reid from Sioux Narrows placed third with 47.83 pounds.

Libitka and Bennett took home more than 25 thousand dollars for their three days of work on Lake of the Woods.

In the Can/Am Challenge, Team Canada narrowly beat out Team USA by less than four pounds.
