ABA District 46 National Tournament Trail


John (JJ) Patton TAKES THE WIN!
Mississippi River pool 16, April 30, 2006, by Ken Warren

    

From L to R: Rick Cloninger, Roger Koopman, John (JJ) Patton

The day was very overcast and threatened rain all day but for the most part we only had mist and light rain but the wind did blow which made those that made long runs a bit sore on the ride back to weigh-in. The water temperature had fallen over the last several days about 7 degrees and the level had dropped over a foot which made some areas tough to fish but most anglers found some fish to bring to the scale.

John (JJ) Patton, from Eldridge, IA, rolled up his sleeves and ran to pool 15 of all places to bring in the big sack of the day. He claimed 1st place honors with his 10.23lbs catch. JJ reported he caught all of his fish on brushhawgs.

2nd Place was earned by Roger Koopman with 4 bass weighing 9.60lbs. This sack included the Big Bass that weighed 3.55lbs. Roger reported he caught his fish in Sunfish Slough and Sunset Marina on spinnerbaits and on a Gambler jig. He is sponsored by Gambler Boats, Pine Point Resort, and Auto Trim and Sign.

3rd place went to Rick Cloninger with a limit weighing 8.31lbs. All of his fish were caught in current inside Sylvan Slough using a lizard or a plastic craw.
