The first Upper Midwest Bass Challenge Series River Division tournament of the year was held on Sunday May 20th, 2012 on the Mississippi River Pool 5. A total of 35 teams (70 anglers) fished the tournament in post spawn
conditions. Teams weighed in 158 bass (122 largemouth and 36 smallmouth) for a total weight of 436.06 lbs. All of the anglers did an incredible job with organization and fish care. We only had one fish brought to the scales that had died – 157 bass were released alive – great job of
conserving the resource guys! We paid back 8 spots – here are the teams that were in the money.
