District 73, Tournament # 4
Mississippi River Pool 11
May 13, 2007

The day got off to a rough start due to a delay of almost 2 hours due to a storm moving through the area that brought a good deal of lightning and small hail. Once this was gone the day turned out to be a little cool and windy but the fish seemed to bite well for most anglers.

The 1st place and Big Bass pot went to Ryan Christoffer with a total weight of 14.12lbs anchored by the 4.84lbs lunker. He reported throwing a jig all day along the rip-rap both in and out of current. His big fish can in the final few minutes while fishing close to the ramp as waited for the clock to run down.

Runner-up position went to Jon Schroeder with just over 13 pounds. He caught his fish on either a spinnerbait or tubes fished along shallow wood.

In 3rd place was Mike Blaesi with 11.31lbs. He used a RC Tackle swimming jig and a spinnerbait to fill his limit. Mike is sponsored by Kennedy Marine and RC Tackle.

From L to R: 2nd, Jon Schroeder; 3rd, Mike Blaesi; 1st & BB, Ryan Christoffer
