no clue, but you might be right, and the Elite series events pay out 100k to the winner.

Laying the hammer down with that Ned Rig, fantastic day! Smells like peak pre spawn to me, man I miss those days. Awesome stuff, the bigs will come......a hot jerkbait is a blast whatever size they are.

Swing for the fences with a big Swimbait ?

I feel like this D-Bomb has really saved my Spring to some degree, today I only caught a limit, 4 Spots, and a 6.2lb beauty. I believe that's three straight sessions in a row with a 5lb+ fish on this particular bait. The first fish in the video is from today, the other ones are from the previous two sessions. 4 fish came on the D Bomb, one came on the Flashback Mini while I was trying to get on a Shad spawn bite. All these quality LGMs are spawning I believe, I'm not sight fishing them, but they are where one would expect them to be spawning. I did play around with a buck for a second, showed him the bait and he didn't care at all. I left the big girl alone beside the boat slip she felt like a pet there for a few days lol. Also backed down to a 4/0 red Gama EWG, and increased the Tungsten size to 5/16th and pegged it with a 6th Sense Peg-X. Fantastic little spring spawn bait, so happy I've found it. Give it a try if you are looking for a new creature bait.

He was on the same fish as the winner in Eufaula, took 5th, and very easily could have won it. There was like half of dozen guys that knew the deal on Eufaula. Seems like there is only one dude that knows the deal on TB this week. I mean 2 dudes will be fishing tomorrow of the 10 that only caught 4 keepers today. Besides the automatic Classic qualifier, how much cash is on the line.....$100k?

These upcoming "show all" videos are going to be epic. He's not just leading, he's dominating the field both days.

Nice one, I did a double take when I read your air temps. That's crazy hot for here right now, let alone upstate NY.

He's out there dominating again today with a gigantic swimbait using the scope.....he's the embodiment of the evolution of Bass fishing.

I know I'm early on this, but I honestly believe he's the hottest Bass angler on the planet. Yeah he hasn't won anything yet, but he's just on another level if you watch his videos. He's also bringing lots of new people back into the derby side of the sport like myself. I'm watching these Opens like a Hawk because of him, and a childhood friend fishing EQ. The coolest thing about all this is he does his videos showing everything after these tourneys wrap up. The videos after Eufaula were incredible. It's crazy he's willing to show all this for free.

Dicks couldn't give away free tackle to get me in their stores. The people who run Dick's hate people like me and have stated so on numerous occasions. I like my 2A.

I beat you above lol, and yes specifically because for whatever reason this particular bait catches big fish. I've got several fish over 5lbs on it.

Drool, throw those in the bait porn thread. The Roboworm FX series from back in the day, something I should get some pics of for the bait porn thread are my favorites still, but outside of those, these colors are the next mind-blowing stuff I've seen. It's really beautiful stuff.

That's a great color. Bone with some red, and then enough pop to catch the angler like me lol.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! The world is right now that you are catching those beautiful fat Maine Bass! Awesome fish, and way to adapt Katie, it's thrilling to see you back on the water again with that Spartan style of yours. You put in so much effort over the winter that I have no doubts it will pay off big time now that you are the water again. That made my night! ? She ain't gonna waste no time that's for sure, she fishes like her hair is on fire ?

Ben Milliken almost got that 30lb bag, he certainly seems to be the real deal. He used a C25 I'm pretty sure, I bet he was deep cranking for post spawners.

Thanks!

Toledo Bend is showing out, four 9lb+ fish already. Some dude talking about losing a 14lber ?

My gosh, 27lb 14oz sack just weighed in! Big fish of the bag was a 9.8! Now this is a Bass fishing derby, why they don't save the Classic for places like TB, Guntersville, etc. is beyond me.

So what are the guys using that caught the 17-20lb sacks? In Eufaula it was the guys that went offshore and got prespawn fish staging with DD cranks. Bama boy just brought in 20lb 7ozs. Let's go.

The first Open on Lake Eufaula with only two days won it with 48.9. Right now they are producing very similar sized weights, so I'd say 60 is a safe bet for 3 days. Weigh in is starting now.

Should have taken a picture but my local high end shop just got the Tactical Bassin Tactical Wake baits in, man they are killer looking! They come in this sweet big wooden box with the hardware separate. They were about $80. So close to buying it like an idiot lol. Had Daiwa days going on, and had a few Tat 300s left for $170, I'll regret not buying one, but I just wasn't quite ready to buy another reel. They had Zillion SV TW Gs for $300, wanted to tell the dude that I could get them for $250 from Japan and if they'd price match haha. The Burrito saved me as I had been wanting one for some time and decided a $40 bait was enough. Haven't bought Tungsten in close to 20 years, man it sucks to spend good money on bullet weights while hard baits are screaming pick me. Lastly, I never thought somebody could make prettier colors with soft plastics than Roboworm, then I found Missile Baits. The colors they create are so unique and cool. Inflation truly sucks, these things were 3.99 a pack a week or two ago, now the most recent batch they got in a 4.69. My local store usually has similar pricing as TW.

Chris Kingree's 8lb+ fish....looks post spawn to me.

8.12 was just caught.......now that's what I'm talking about!

You sir are the silver lining reminder I needed ?
