Tournament # 3 Mississippi River Pool 19 April 22nd, 2007 Even after the repeated onslaughts from the big tournament organizations in 2006 this pool has already shown it had no effect on the great fishing. Many big fish were brought in today even though limits were a little scarce. This only reminds us that the water is still cold and warming and we should have a hawg fest at the next event as the grass comes up. Today the air temp was in the upper 70's and the water was in upper 50's to lower 60's. The current was swift and the level falling but that did not stop Richie Eaves from pushing into the shallow backwater lakes where he found fish he believed to be spawning. He caught his fish flipping plastics into bushes within Burlington Island backwater. Second place honors went to Rob Barthlomew who also found his fish would bite plastics. He threw a purple tube inside of creeks around Ft. Madison, IA. His sack also contained big fish of the tournament a 5.2lbs smallmouth. Rob's nemesis, Scott Seager, was close on his heels but when the smoke cleared he fell short of 2nd by only 0.02lbs which made it very interesting for a while. Thanks to Burlington Area Convention and Tourism Bureau for hosting the tournament. From L to R: 1st-Richie Eaves, 2nd & BB-Rob Bartholomew, 3rd-Scott Seager
