Missouri High School Bass Fishing Tournament

Almost a month ago I spent the weekend shooting at the 2nd Annual Missouri High School Bass Fishing Tournament, sponsored by The Missouri Bass Federation. The tournament was held at the Lake of the Ozarks. Read more about the tournament at www.ruralmissouri.coop/digitalrm.
