Cabela's King Kat Tournament Results for Lexington, Missouri

Author: Larry Crecelius

This past Saturday October 16th the Cabela's King Kat Tournament Trail held the last qualifying event of the year leading up to the king of catfish events, the Cabela's King Kat Classic. This year's classic will be held on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway at Columbus, Mississippi November 12-13, 2010.

Fishing on the Missouri River was much slower than predicted with the river only dropping around 3 inches from Friday through Saturday, but as always some of these anglers still managed to find good fish to place in the event.
