District 73, Tournament # 3
Mississippi River Pool 13
May 12, 2007

This was a great day for a tournament it was cool in the morning but warmed into the 70's by lunch time. The water temps were from mid 60's to 70 and the water was mostly muddy. The fishing was good at time but several anglers reported long dry spell during the day as well.

Scott Ford topped the field today with a 5 fish limit weighing 13.33lbs. He spent the day in Spring Lake and caught his fish on a variety of baits that included top water and plastics. Scott is sponsored by Skeeter Boats, Grace Marine, & TackleWarehouse.com

2nd place was claimed by Roger Koopman with 11.27lbs. Roger caught his fish very shallow in the grass using both a Denny Brauer Pro Model Jig and a Gambler Otter Tail Beaver. Roger is sponsored by Gambler Boats, Pine Point Resort, & Auto Trim & Sign.

Ken Warren claimed both 3rd place and big bass honors. His fish were all caught shallow on grassy flats inside Edick Lake. He got a quick limit with a green pumpkin candy Invader Jig from Strictly Bass Lures then in the afternoon. Then a couple of bigger fish including the big bass fell to a River FINatic also from Strictly Bass Lures. Ken is sponsored by Triton Boats, Evinrude, and Davenport Boat & Marine.

From L to R: 3rd and Big Bass, Ken Warren; 2nd, Roger Koopman; 1st, Scott Ford
