Coming from he backwaters of the Illinois River, boating it, skiing it and fishing it, there's only one type of entertainment left on the mighty RIVER of ILLNOIS anymore. Any type of entertainment on the river is taking your life in your own hands for FEAR OF THE ASIAN CARP hitting you in the head or body somewhere. Many a broken nose and concusion later, THE YEARLY REDNECK FISHING TOURNAMENT began on the shores of Bath Chute, just off the river and a few miles from my home off Havana, Ill.
The tournament has grown in leaps and bounds over the years, with boats and crews coming from thousands of miles to catch the NARLY RIVER BEASTS.
From news stations and photographers the muddy banks are full with thousands of onlookers. The link is video taken by an old friend and local proffessional photographer TED CONNELLY.
