Tournament #1 May 13th, 2006 Mississippi River Pool 10

The day began cold and wet. Air temps at launch had dropped into the mid 30's and the drizzle made things even more miserable. The anglers, however, that came out for the inaugural event for this district proved that bad weather was no reason to stay home and they were rewarded with a good bite.

Todd Reed of Marshalltown ran away with First Place and Big Bass honors with an unbelievable sack of five largemouth weighing 19.59lbs anchored by the 4.55lbs big fish. This great catch came off of rocks along the main river bank and were all caught on a black & blue Critter Lure flipping jig. Todd is sponsored by Quantum Rods & Reels and Critter Lures.

Second Place prize was claimed by Waterloo angler, Brandon Goodrich with 13.47lbs. He reported catching his fish on a 4 1/2" tube and a spinnerbait fished along rocks and current breaks along the main river on Pool 9.

Third Place went to Dan Schroeder from Marion with 9.53lbs. Dan mentioned catching all of his fish on a white Chatterbait fished along weeds and grass. He says he culled several times to reach his weight.
