ABA District 73 Tournament Trail

Mississippi River pool 12, May 6, 2006, by Ken Warren

  

Water temp-57-63 degrees
Sky- Clear/partly cloudy
Wind
- 5-15


From L to R: BB Jesse Fortney, 1st Ryan Christoffer, 2nd Elliot Wamsley, 3rd Mike Giadini

The day began cold but warmed throughout the day into the 60's. The water temp was cooler in the morning as well but the sun warmed it by 5 degrees into the low 60's by midday. The fish by all reports were not found in their usual spots and those that realized that early and adapted did well.

First Place was claimed by the district director, Ryan Christoffer with 5 bass weighing 12.23lbs.  The winning sack came from south of the launch all caught on a finesse jig.

The runner-up spot was taken by Elliot Wamsley of Lanark, IL with 4 bass that weighed 10.50lbs. All of Elliot's fish were caught south of Spruce Creek on a jig.

Third Place went to Mike Giardini with 7.65lbs.  Mike caught his fish in the 9-mile island area on a  white and chartruese  spinnerbait worked along the rocks. He is sponsored by Yo-Zuri, Strike King, Mercury and Cobra Boats.

Big Bass honors went to Jesse Fortney with a 3.76lb largemouth. This lunker was caught on a homemade jig that was swum along a rip-rap bank on Pool 13.
