Mississippi River pool 13, July 22, 2006, by Ken Warren

  


From L to R: 1st, Roger Koopman; 3rd, Ryan Christoffer; 2nd & BB, Rocco Marrari

The day started out overcast and foggy but cleared throughout the day bringing out the sun for a few hours before blowing in some rain around weigh-in time. The water temp was right around 80 degrees and the winds were light.

The winner of this event was Roger Koopman from Andalusia, IL. He brought in 5 bass weighing 12.4lbs. The winning fish were caught on a Denny Brauer Pro Model jig on sandbars and wood along the main river. Roger is sponsored by Pine Point Lodge.

Rocco Marrari took 2nd place and big bass fishing brush piles in 5-7 feet of water with a V&M red shad worm. His catch weighed 12.1lbs containing the 3.07lbs big fish. He is sponsored by V&M & Bassmedics.

In 3rd place was tournament director, Ryan Christoffer with 11.6lbs. His fish were all caught off docks with weed and current near them. All his fish were caught on a jig. He is sponsored by Secret Weapon Lures.
