Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament 9/11

Last night was the year end fish-off of the Missouri Angler Wednesday Night Tournament and the last tournament of the year.  Twenty-seven (27) teams qualified for the fish-off and were given one hour and thirty minutes additional tournament hours, 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm.  

The weather was normal, hot and humid, but it didn't seem to effect the bass, in fact, the bite was better for most of the anglers than it has been for several weeks.  The bite for most of the anglers was slow the first hour or so, but when the sun set the bass turned on.  A couple of the teams commented that the flat heads were biting real good too.

There were eleven bass over 4 pounds weighed, which included two bass weighing 5 pounds or better.  There were six, five bass limits weighed and several teams bringing four bass to the scales.  The first place team advised that their limit came on Chompers Shakey Head jigs and worms, however, they would not give the exact locations where they caught their winning stringer.
