Weather conditions played a role in the third WWA Illinois Division Tournament on the Fox Chain on Sunday. Rain and wind made it quite nasty but all the teams toughed it out to the last second. The team of Pat Siebert and Dove Limke took first place with four fish weighing it at 4.93 pounds. They trolled crank baits, pitched jigs, and cast floating baits to boat their fish. Second Place went to the team of Jim McDonald and Tom Springborn with three fish weighing in at 4.35 pounds. They also took big fish honors with a fish that tipped the scales at 2.06 pounds. They were trolling crank baits North on the Fox River. Third Place went to Larry VanHoorelbeke and Ted Beskow with three fish weighing 4.28 pounds. They pitched jigs and used live bait rigs to boat their fish. Congratulations to the top finishers and to all the teams for sticking it out it tough weather conditions!
