2023 Tackle Warehouse Invitationals: Mississippi River preview
Jul 25, 2023 to Jul 27, 2023
When the pros launch their boats at the Mississippi River to wrap up the season, the focus will certainly be on winning for much of the field. Still, a lot of the anglers within perhaps the Top 20 in the points standings will be looking to stand pat or move up for one of eight coveted Bass Pro Tour invitations on the line when the season concludes. With so much at stake, the Mississippi offers good fishing to finish the season, but it also gives anglers plenty of chances to make big mistakes.
