Hot day on Hannibal Pool

It was hot on the Hannibal Pool of the Ohio River Saturday, July 9, both the weather and the fishing. I was drained after nine hours in the sun, but it was worth it after weighing in five bass and finishing third in the Southern Ohio Bassmasters club tournament.
I wasn't ten only one catching bass. Out of 25 anglers fishing, 23 weighed in 67 fish. Six five-fish limits were recorded. Most of the fish weighed were smallmouth, but some spots and largemouth were also brought in.
Randy Brownrigg finished firt with five bass weighing 6 pounds, 1.2 ounces, less than six ounces ahead of Mike Baughman, who had five bass weighing 5 pounds, 11.6 ounces.
I finished third with five weighing 5 pounds, 6.6 ounces, Eric Woodrow placed fourth with five fish weighing 5 pound, 6 ounces and Tom Sprankel was fifth with five fish at 5 pounds, 1 ounce.
Scott Siemer and I ties for big bass honors with 2-pound fish. His was a smallmouth and mine a largemouth.
I fished with Randy Jackson of Zanesville and although he caught only two keepers, we had a good time, catching fish throughout the day. Most of our fish were caught on crankbaits fished in the main river, but I also caught keepers on a spinnerbait in the river and on black with blue flake hand-poured Senkos in a couple of creeks. The largemouth was caught on the stickbait.
