| Gable and Jackson are the Pool 9 Champions |
The Indee Bass Club traveled to the far corner of Northeastern Iowa to visit the Mississippi River this past weekend. Lansing, IA was the destination, arguably the best pool for bass fishing in the state. The water was at normal pool and the flow was great for the event, leading to a lot of bass for the kids in attendance.
Finishing in third place at this event was Clinton Junk and Christian Simmons. They had three keeper bass that weighed 8.00 pounds, this team was captained by Dave Wilson. Clinton was able to catch the big bass of the tournament, a huge largemouth that weighed 4.51 pounds. Clinton caught that giant on a Texas-Rig plastic in the Junebug color.
Coming in with second place was Cal Sweeney and Ranger Reed. They caught about 10 keepers on this day and their limit of the five biggest bass weighed 11.36 pounds, their captain was Todd Reed. They caught their fish on a variety of baits, including a Wopper Plopper, Texas-Rig Hot Rod Baits Tubes, and bladed jigs.
The Pool 9 Champions were Gable Eddy and Jackson Beatty with their captain Jeff Ferris. These two anglers caught 13.14 pounds of smallmouth and largemouth bass, a great limit for the Mississippi River. This team also used a variety of baits to catch their limit; Chatterbaits, frogs, crankbaits and swim jigs were all used to get to that thirteen pound limit culling a small keeper one time. Scheels of Cedar Falls had gift cards and fishing gear for the top three teams while Hanks Bait and Tackle took care of the Big Bass prize full of lures for the big bass winner, Clinton Junk.
This was the last regular season tournament of the year for the bass club, however the state tournament is this coming weekend and the Eastern Iowa Bass Club Battle, an event where the Indee team will compete directly against the Cedar Falls Fishing Team and the Cedar Rapids Prairie Fishing team, will take place on October 12th at Lake Delhi. This event has been won by the Indee Bass Club the previous two years.
