From
L to R: 3rd, Rob Bartholomew; 1st & Big Bass, Roger Ward; 2nd,
Chad Powers.
The weather was great for this
tournament. The day was sunny turning to cloudy toward weigh-in.
It appeared that nearly all of the field ran south toward Fort
Madison in the morning and the south end of the pool
produced. The water temp was in the low 60's and the current was
strong.
First place fell to Roger Ward with a limit weighing 15.86lbs.
This sack was topped with the Big Bass of the day with a 5.87lbs
largemouth. Roger caught all of his fish on a Senko in the southern
part of the pool. Roger took home $820 for 1st in addition to the
Big Bass Prize of $180 in cash and a $50 gift card from Farm King,
with the area's largest tackle selection.
The second place catch was brought in by Maquoketa angler, Chad
Powers, with 5 bass weighing 15.27lbs. Chad fished around Fort
Madison and caught his limit by 7:00 on a black neon creature bait
then spent the rest of the day trying to upgrade his catch. Chad's
sack earned him $470. He is sponsored by JD Byrider.
Third place went to Rob Bartholomew from Fort Madison. He fished
around Montrose but had his boat break down early in the day and had
to stop fishing around 11:00 to try to get his fish to the ramp on
time. He had a tough day but did manage enough fish to claim the
third place check of $150. He was barely edged out of second with
15.26lbs.
