Top Bass Series continues to draw huge tournament fields and Rice Lake Tournament #1 was no different. Saturday saw 138 teams fight for the trophy and $6000 first place. Rice Lake didn't disappoint and produced well for most of the field. Bob Adler and Joey Crumpton bested them all with a 5 bass limit that weighted 22.06 pounds. The top 30 teams were ounces apart and revealed that Rice Lake is still one of Ontario's best bass lakes.
