I. Falls Bass Championship Underway


The first day of fishing at the International Falls Bass Championship is underway.

More than 120 anglers are fishing either Rainy Lake or Rainy River for the $10-thousand first prize money.

Tournament chair Gary Potter says its uncertain how the weights will be this year.

"I guess that's yet to be determined," says Potter. "Any time you get before a tournament they're all pretty tight lipped, but I did talk with a couple of friends who are fishing who say the fishing has been pretty good."

Today's weigh-ins at Smokey Bear Park go at 3 p.m.
John Cann and Ted Olsen of International Falls are the defending champions.
