From
L to R: 1st & Big Bass, Todd Reed; 2nd, Brandon Goodrich; 3rd,
Dan Schroeder
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.
