Bass Tournament Successful

Warm, sunny weather helped bring hundreds of people out to Smoky Bear Park for the International Falls Bass Championship.

Board president Gary Potter says support on both sides of the border also made the tournament a success.

"Tremendous support from the community," says Potter, "and actually people from across the border. We had quite of few of them coming over and helping out. Plus the Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship, we work so well together with our two tournaments. We share equipment and expertise and it's been mutual benefiting for both events."

Potter says they're already looking at some changes for next year.
