Another good turn out for the Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament mainly because the weather was perfect, no rain, the sun was shinning and it was warm. Forty teams launched out of PB#2 at 6:30 P.M. and would return at 10:00 P.M. with confidence they would have five bass that would beat the thirty-nine other teams. Of course that is not always the case, especially last night.
The big bite of 5 to 7 pounds largemouth was not as good as expected. There were only five bass over 4 pounds brought to the scales, one of which weighed 5.22 pounds for big bass of the tournament. The anglers reported catching a lot of non-keepers 14 to 14 1/2 inches, but very few keepers 3 pounds or better.
Some bass have spawned, but the majority of bass are locked in on beds, which could explain the lack of lunkers being caught. The bite continues to be plastics, jigs and spinner bait worked 6 to 10 feet on spawning banks. The night bite continues to be very slow at least from 8:30 P.M. to the 10:00 P.M. weigh-in.
Big Bass of the tournament weighed 5.22 pounds and was caught by the team of Eric and Troy Wiethrop.

1st. Steve Varner 5 Bass 18.28 lbs.
