Jim Banks Wins the 2021 D126 Season Opener

Fish were biting October 31, 2020 as American Bass Anglers Division 126 opened their 2021 Season with a Halloween tournament on Stockton Lake, MO. Earlier in the week, the weather had turned cold, freezing cold, but tournament day was much warmer and sunny with a brisk SSE wind. Eight of the 21 competitors brought a 5-fish limit to the scales.
 
Topping the leader board was Lamar angler, Jim Banks with a weight of 15.71lbs followed closely by Austin Lowrey with 15.33lbs. Rounding out the top five was Mike Dill with 14.80lbs, Scott Tassi with 13.15lbs and Scott Miles with 12.36lbs. Lowrey took Big Bass awards with a bass weighing 3.68lbs; 2nd Big Bass went to Dill with 6.62 lbs.

The water temperature dropped some during the week’s cold spell; it was anywhere from 52-59 depending on location and time of day. Spinnerbaits and crankbaits seemed to be the bait catching the most fish.
