The boys are back at it and McKinney's on cam. Happy Thursday, ladies and gents!

Look I love Smith Lake and catching those spots.  But unless someone finds a few largies back in the creek or some 4lb spots out over 200ft of water chasing herring it could be a boring tournament of literally everyone weighing in 12-15 lbs everyday. 
 

The MLF tournament at James River will be a better watch. 

Looks like they are catching the heck out of them ! Alabama bass don’t mind the heat 

Never seen the weights as tight as this, this one is going to be super exciting!

The water temp there never gets too high. You can have the front of the boat touching the bank and the rear transducer read 50-80ft deep

Yep! Sounds like almost all the reservoirs around me . My buddy was showing me pictures yesterday of stripers He caught there in 100 feet of water on a Zara  spook.

 

There is a camera in Steve Kennedy‘s boat this morning, always a joy.

 

Hamner got a big one on his first throw, “ole spotted dawwwg!”

Shryock is handy with a choppo, he almost won Murray last year with it also

Was puckered up just watching that waiting for the bait to pull away and hopefully not in his face lol. Whollllllle lot of guys with out any catches logged yet today

That seems odd because the guys on camera were catching them non stop when I was watching earlier

Agreed but almost 40 guys don't have a fish logged today

Sandbaggers…….

 

 

I’ve gotten skunked on Smith lake when others were catching them non stop.  It’s not as hard as it sounds.🙂

Yep. There’s 1000 pockets and one will be firing off while the closest 5 on either side are dead. Those fish migrate with the bait 

Well this was funny 

Watching Steven Kennedy shake after catching a huge Spot on a swimbait is what it's all about.  

Whole wolfpack of big Spots followed the fish in.   Awesome camera work.

He knows that’s a $100k school 

Steve Kennedy is a likable guy and fun to watch.  He should have his own TV show.   He could be the next Bill Dance if it wasn’t for his horribly ugly cap.  😂

The War Eagle Bill Dance 😁

 

The Auburn fingerprint on the Elite Series is pretty cool, you got Kennedy, Jordan Lee, and Logan Parks.    I might be leaving out another as well.  

Kennedy with another great glide fish. Seems like a lot of the schools move around, I wonder if he burns it down while he has the chance. A several pound lead will be hard to beat for sure.

I could watch those swim bait bites all day.

I agree, and the proposed rule of having to catch every fish in the mouth would end this fun
