Lake Ida was the site of the second Big Bass Bonanza tournament for 2010 and 36 teams of anglers were able to enjoy a gorgeous day on the water! All but one team brought in a limit 8 fish and numerous boats reported catching 100 plus bass throughout the day. Despite catching a lot of fish, many anglers had difficulty catching quality bass. The team Clarence and Terry Rassmussen walked away with the win with a margin of 6.39 lb.’s! This was also the only team that brought in the only full limit of smallmouth and all eight of their fish were healthy 3 lb. fish!

Check out Big Bass Bonanza website for more information on the next event on July 11^th on Green Lake in Spicer, MN.
