International Falls Anglers Win Local Tournee

Some history this weekend at the International Falls Bass Championship. this weekend.

John Cann and Ted Olson became the first anglers from the Falls to win the fishing tournament in its five year history.

Cann says they did so battling rough waters on Rainy Lake on the second day of the tournament.

"We fished the rough water all day to day," says Cann. "We didn't go behind islands or anything like that. We stayed out in the big water. My walleye boat worked really well. We got our first five fish within 15 minutes."

Cann and Olson's 28 pounds of bass was three pounds more than second place finishers Tyler Kocon of Duluth and Kyle Potter of the Falls.
