Tournament # 3, July 12 2008, Mississippi River Pool 19

The day started hot and muggy. Even before the sun came up everyone was sweating but a breeze did come on early making the day bearable. You could tell before the tournament started everyone questioned how well the river would fish after the big flood we had over the last few weeks. The flood of 1993 was on our minds as it had killed fishing on the pool for several years and this time the water got even higher. The day showed, however, we were all worried about nothing. There is still grass everywhere and the pads are coming up so the bass have plenty of cover.

At then end of the day the team of Chad Kerr and Quinton Inghram topped the record field of 21 teams with 15.23lbs. The reported catching their fish mid-pool on small spinnerbaits and plastics in a variety of cover. Giant killer baits and calls, Rose's Bait Shop, & Bi-State Contracting sponsor the team.

Second place went to David and James Son with 13.24lbs. David's regular partner, Ben Tripp, picked a bad tournament to skip. The second place pattern was fishing wood and rock on south end of pool with jigs.

In third place the team of Robbie Bigliazzi and Chuck Davis with 12.53lbs while big bass of the tournament was caught by Mike Waddell and Dan Goeke.
