LA CROSSE, Wis. — He slipped from a two-finger hold to hanging by a fingernail, but Todd Faircloth was the leader again Saturday in the Mississippi River Rumble. Starting in eighth place after Thursday, Faircloth of Jasper, Texas, jumped into the lead Friday by 12 ounces. By Saturday, the event’s third day, his hold on [...]
LA CROSSE, Wis. — In the Mississippi River Rumble on Friday, a 5-pound bass was worth its weight in gold. Probably more. “That’s the key here.
