To listen to some folks you would think a lake looks like a wasteland after the elites "have their way" with it. Well me and the wife went down to the lake (Hartwell) yesterday to test that theory and tried our luck at hooking a few decent bass and that was just not the case. First i show up to the ramp and evidently it was media day for a bunch of elites. I saw Benton, Welcher, Pirch, Cook and New, Logan and others there hanging out doing new tackle ads. I even saw this one REALLY SHADY looking fellow walking around the ramp that I'm pretty sure was trying to kidnap Drew Benton. I think somebody said his name was Glenn(1st pic), anybody know this character? 😂Anyways I went to Andersonville island to see if I could get in on some of the post tournament action. Threw a Chad Shad around shallow trying to get them to show themselves but no luck so I pulled anchor and went up into the Tugaloo and started seeing some action. Pulled one buck bass off of a rockpile between  some docks but it was still sparse. Went to one of my favorite long points that usually hold some fish. I like to throw a spybait and bring it down the point to see if there are feeding fish so I took my little Spro spin John 80 and drug it down the point. BAM! 2 pound spot. Casted again bam! another. Evidently there was a seriously large school of spotted bass decimating herring off that point I could see dead herring floating in the water and I caught spots until my arm was tired. I caught them from 2 pounds to 2 ounces probably about 40 or so by the time I was done. I meant to look for beds but after I gave them a walloping off that point I completely forgot about chasing sight fish. lol I knew it had to be a giant school because about every 4th or 5th cast I would hook one in the back or the tail(A testament to how sharp the hooks Spro uses on the spin John are). After the wife treated me to Steak and Shake for some yummy eats. Oh and if you see that shady guy from the first pic sneaking around YOUR boat dock go up and say hi. He assured me he doesn't bite!😁

Cool deal!!! Would you say that the kidnapper has a trustworthy mustache ?

I have heard it said in many well respected circles...

The mustache I trust. The beard, however....

Hey it was great meeting you!  Yes, I was there with the Elite and MLF pros shooting videos.  Had a blast!
