Hello,

Looking to hear about the this past Saturday's tournament? I saw there was 60 boats or so? Any info is appreciated.

Thank you!

38 fish caught. Tops had 4 fish, second had 3, a DQ'd team also had 3 but got to the ramp late.

Word was trolling was hot.

Yep, it was on fire. 8 teams caught at least 2 fish, 10th place was a 39. 69 boats total. Congrats to everyone, the conditions were perfect.

Yea those are some cool fish. I saw guy get a 36" one too. The one I saw was pretty beat up and ugly though.

The fish in question has bars... but, they are made up of spots. Very common in the Upper Mississippi River/Leech Lake strain fish that are stocked and come up in Illinois.

Notice the markings on the first fish are made up of solid bars...
