Faircloth on the board

After a 20-mile run south on the Mississippi River, my boys Dennis TIetje, Kyle and I are perched on the side of an island near Stoddard watching Todd Faircloth. He’s fishing in a quiet little marshy area with no current. Todd caught a fish five minutes after pulling in — a nice one. We’re guessing 2 3/4 pounds. This is the same spot where he started yesterday.
