Chien, WI on pool 10 of the Mississippi River.
Saturday brought thunderstorms in the early morning hours,

catching fish. All
anglers reported catching a lot of bass.

Illinois. This team

to catch their fish. They
also had the big bass for the tournament with a 4.01 largemouth.
Second place Paul Malone
