Stalvey & Caldwell Win the Rodeheaver Boys Ranch event on St Johns River
Vance McCullough
Lee Stalvey and Jason Caldwell won the 2021 Rodeheaver Boys Ranch Bass Tournament out of Palatka City Docks on the St Johns River on Saturday, March 13 with a 5-bass limit that weighed 29.94 pounds and included a 10.58-pound kicker that took Big Bass honors as well.
The big fish garnered a $1,000 bonus on top of the $7,500 top prize that Stalvey and Caldwell won. She was their first fish of the day.
“Caught her on the 2nd flip of the day,” shared Stalvey. “She bit on the first one but didn’t have the bait well. When her tail came up and it was huge. Then, on the next flip I hooked her. She just kept getting bigger as I got her to the boat.”
Stalvey and Caldwell caught their fish by looking at them. Pre-tournament scouting was key. Caldwell and Stalvey had both located 10-pounders on Friday, but they made their first stop Saturday on the big girl that they believed would bite more quickly than the other. It was a good call.
When sight-fishing, it’s important to locate more fish than you think you need to. “It’s been so warm lately that things are changing really fast,” said Stalvey. “There were a bunch of fish up (on the bank) this week but today they were just. They spawn quickly and get done fast when it gets warm.”
This year’s Rodeheaver tourney featured 139 boats including a lot of the top sticks in the North Florida region. Together, along with the generous sponsors, they were able to cut a check to the Boys Ranch in the amount of $18,550. This is a big help as the ranch does not receive any Federal funds, relying solely on the community to help set these young’uns on the right path.
As they say at the ranch, “It’s better to build boys than to mend men.”
John Cox Claims Victory at Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit on Lewis Smith Lake
CULLMAN, Ala. (March 14, 2021) – After leading the MLF Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit presented by Bad Boy Mowers, Covercraft Stop 2 – Lewis Smith Lake for most of the event, it’s no surprise that Berkley pro John Cox of DeBary, Florida, pulled out the win on Championship Sunday. What is surprising – and long overdue – is a win for the angler on Lewis Smith Lake in Cullman, Alabama – a fishery that has been antagonizing Cox for nearly a decade.
The 2016 FLW Cup Champion made the Top 10 on Lewis Smith Lake several times in the past with the Pro Circuit, including two previous runner-up finishes, but has never been able to seal the deal – until now. The win put a $100,000 check in his pocket and added another piece of hardware to his already extensive trophy collection.
Pro Spencer Shuffield of Hot Springs, Arkansas , stalked the top spot throughout Sunday, making another big leap from seventh place into second with the biggest five-bass limit of the day – 17 pounds, 8 ounces – bringing his four-day total to 56 pounds, 11 ounces. Although bites were stingy for the entire field, Cox’s five-bass limit of 16 pounds, 10 ounces gave him a four-day total of 62 pounds, 4 ounces – and a solid 5-pound, 9-ounce lead to firmly secure the win.
Cox maintained the familiar strategy seen all week throughout the final day, refusing to allow himself to do what he does best – sight-fish. Ultimately that proved to be the right call for the event, but Cox said a gut check late in the day is what sealed his victory on the northern Alabama fishery.
“I was idling to check-in when I realized I still had 7 minutes left to fish and called an audible – I was feeling sick because it felt like it just wasn’t enough [weight],” said Cox. “I knew someone was catching them. So, I pulled over to this pocket and fired my jig right down the drain. A 4-pounder came out and hit it but didn’t take it – so, I killed it for a second and she ate it.
“I knew if I had a chance to win [a tournament on Smith] something magical had to happen. That was it.”
Cox said he spent the week throwing a black-and-blue Dirty Jigs Swim Jig teamed with a Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Meaty Chunk .
“I put the trolling motor on high and swam that jig in and around every piece of shallow cover I could find in the pockets and creeks far up Ryan Creek,” said Cox. “I threw the jig on a 7-foot, 6-inch heavy Abu Garcia Fantasista Premier rod and an Abu Garcia Revo EXD 8:1 reel.”
Cox said that rod and reel was a difference-maker, especially when the fish surprised him and he needed to pick up the slack.
“This has been a really special week in so many ways,” said Cox. “I love this place and love fishing on Smith Lake, even despite my history – so this win is incredible.”
The top 10 pros on Lewis Smith Lake finished:
1st: John Cox, DeBary, Fla., 20 bass, 62-4, $100,500
2nd: Spencer Shuffield, Hot Springs, Ark., 20 bass, 56-11, $30,000

John Cox Extends Lead at Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit on Lewis Smith Lake
CULLMAN. Ala. (March 13, 2021) – Berkley pro John Cox of DeBary, Florida , who led the tournament on Day Two, brought a five-bass limit to the scale on Saturday, weighing 12 pounds even, to stay on top of the leaderboard after Day Three of the MLF Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit presented by Bad Boy Mowers, Covercraft Stop 2 – Lewis Smith Lake in Cullman, Alabama.
Rookie Tai Au of Glendale, Arizona, jumped from fifth place into second on Day Three, with a five-bass limit weighing 12 pounds, 12 ounces, giving him a two-day total of 40 pounds, 6 ounces – a 5-pound, 4-ounce gap that could prove challenging on the stingy fishery. Spencer Shuffield of Hot Springs, Arkansas , made the biggest jump of the day, starting the day in 28th place and vaulting into seventh place with a five-bass limit weighing 16 pounds, 10 ounces, bringing him into the Top 10 with a total of 39 pounds, 3 ounces.
The event features 163 of the best bass fishing professionals from around the world, competing in a four-day competition for a top cash payout of up to $135,000.
“I want to win so badly on this lake,” Cox said. “I want to win here worse than anywhere else in the country. It would make a lot of really bad memories disappear. But, today was a little miserable. The only keepers that actually took my bait were the five I brought to the scale.”
Cox said despite the struggle today, he’s still not really looking at beds or trying to fish them.
“I saw some empty beds, and a few with fish on them, but the fish were really spooky,” said Cox. “They still needed to be surprised or tricked into biting. There aren’t any eggs down, so they are passed the point of where I’ve already caught them, and now are further in where they want to make their beds.”
Cox said he caught a lot of males today, but they just weren’t big enough to keep.
“I know I’m in the Top 10 and I’m trying to get excited for tomorrow, but I’m so burned out – there have been a lot of boats on a lot of areas today, so I tried to let some of those areas rest and ran around and fished more random stuff to try to get to those better pockets I wanted to fish. I don’t think we weighed one fish today out of any of the actual pockets I was looking forward to fishing.
“I think I’m just mentally and physically drained from fishing so much water and not getting bit. A lot of times through the day, I was thinking ‘I need to change baits – I need to change colors’, but I honestly just think if those fish were ready, they would have taken anything.
“I went to start on a stretch, but threw to a dock randomly and caught one, then threw to the dock again and caught another one, which got me excited – but that was the total excitement for the entire day.”
Cox said he almost ran all the way to the dam around 10 a.m., but changed his mind because he had three bass and thought he would be able to catch two more pretty easily.
“Hopefully it won’t be as crowded tomorrow – today it was nuts everywhere I went, with people on all the spots,” said Cox. “I’m planning to just rig up everything the same tomorrow and see what happens.”
The top 10 pros advancing to the final day of competition Sunday on Lewis Smith Lake are:
1st: John Cox, DeBary, Fla., 15 bass, 45-10
2nd: Tai Au, Glendale, Ariz., 15 bass, 40-6

Soukup goes wire-to-wire in inaugural NPFL Win!!
By Justin Brouillard | Photo Tanner & Travis Lyons
EUFAULA, AL — MARCH 13, 2021
John Soukup – Sapulpa, Oklahoma
Taking the inaugural NPFL event wire-to-wire, John Soukup took the lead day 1 with 20-pounds, 12-ounces and never looked back. He followed up that haul with a 20-pounds, 2-ounce limit on day 2 and even with the toughest day of the week coming on the final day, Soukup got it done.
Soukup spent his week looking at fish on his Garmin Livescope installed by the Bass Tank. Quality equipment and a solid game plan were key to his week. He ran the Xpress boat quietly in and out of shallow areas with brush that were holding big bass.
“One little tree gave me 20-pounds on day 1, but today was super tough. I lost a “helper” off a dock that was around 2.5-pounds. At one point, I had a small limit in the 6-pound range. I kept working that jerkbait and I would rotate to a spinning rod when I needed.”
Not only was a spinning rod part of his plan, his two biggest bass came on it. Soukup began his final day dealing with local pressure and stingy fish, catching 1-pound bass one after another. A 5-pounder later in the day helped put him over the top, but the fish didn’t come easy.
“That big one today, I had to hover it over the brush pile and work it through there. I watched it come up and finally ate it. Today some followed it for like 40-feet and wouldn’t bite it. The small ones would come up and crush it instantly.”
The Oklahoma pro rotated through a series of jerkbaits, all thrown on Denali Rods and Daiwa Reels. His spinning rods were spooled with 7-pound Sunline. Each day the fish positioned and reacted differently, and Soukup was right there to make them eat.
“Having those different style jerkbaits was key. I had one that would float and I could work it over the top of that shallow brush. I’d pull it down into it, then let it rise. Some of them were deeper brush piles and that bait would sink down to them before I would even move it. I had one with a bigger bill that would get down into the brush and deflect off the pieces. Then of course that big one I got to go by hovering it above that brush and he came up and got it. Toss the color out the window, get a natural looking bait, and learn the behavior of the fish.”
Soukup was able to relax this week and fish clean. When fighting big fish, it is not always easy, but knowing your gear helps in those stressful moments.
“I had so much confidence in my equipment, I could hook them and just relax. When you get those big ones near the boat, they like to make a charge. I let my rod take over and then work them back up. I fished in AFTCO gear all week and loaded my Xpress with Lithium pros that took 200-pounds of weight out.”
With a final weight of 53-pounds, 9-ounces, Soukup took home the top prize of $50,000 for his efforts this week on Lake Eufaula.
David Gaston – Sylacauga, Alabama
David Gaston got it done early this morning on Eufaula and made it a game in the first hour. The Alabama pro spent his entire week in the shallows and let his swim jig do the work. Running new water every day, his 16-pound, 7-ounce limit today moved him up to the second-place spot.
“I started in some shallow area and before 8 am I had a limit, then caught a 5-pounder swimming that jig. I was looking for little creeks that had water left in them and I could push myself into. Today, all my weight came from one creek and every fish ate the swim jig.”
Gaston kept his set ups pretty simple rotating between two rods, both with 50-pound braided line. One with a 6.3:1 and the other with a 7:1.1.
“I had to slow down my reel ratio to get as much torque on those fish when they would eat it in the thick stuff. I was throwing a heavy jig and pulsing it up in the water column with a big beefy trailer and a living rubber skirt to move some water.”
Starting strong on day 1, Gaston followed his 14-pounds, 2-ounces up with a monster bag of 19-pounds, 9-ounces. His final day limit gave him 50-pounds, 2-ounces to end the week.
Landon Tucker – Adel, Georgia
Fishing off shore this week rotating through up to 250 brush piles, Landon Tucker broke the 20-pound mark today with 20-pounds, 1-ounce to finish in third. Eufaula is one of Tucker’s home lakes and experience with the brush was key to getting his week going.
“I started this event with like 250 brush piles and I went out Sunday and marked like 50 more during practice. I didn’t hit as many as I should have and I knew not having a limit the first day was going to hurt me.”
As seen on live today, the Adel, Georgia pro hooked a 6-pound, 1-ounce big fish on a ¾-ounce Ledge Buster spinnerbait on a brush pile he found in practice. A big fish from the spot yesterday and another lunker today.”
To get the job done this week, Tucker tossed a homemade ½-ounce green pumpkin football jig with a Berkley Powerbait Chunk, also in green pumpkin. His rod of choice was a Duckett 7’3 Heavy Jacob Wheeler rod spooled up with 17-pound P-line.
Nick Prvonozac – Warren, Ohio
The morning bite has not been good for Nick Prvonozac and today was no different. The Warren, Ohio pro caught 11-pounds, 7-ounces to finish in 4thplace.
“The first spot I got to had 4 boats on it. I ran to a shallow brush pile, made a cast. I worked the bait through it and I turned my head for a split second and one was swimming at me with it. I never caught up to it but it was really shallow, I could see it was a good fish.”
Doing what got him here this week, Prvonozac ran shallow and never looked back. He caught more keepers today than any other day but they were not the size he was looking for.
“It was tough on me the rest of the day. I went shallow to look for them and I actually caught everything I saw but they were not the right size.”
Following up a 16-pound,10-ounce limit on day 1, Prvonozac relied on his 18-pound, 2-ounce bag on day two to finish 4th with 46-pounds, 3-ounces.
Louis Fernandes – Santa Maria, California
In the 5th spot, Louis Fernandes relied on a shallow bite the whole week to catch his 44-pounds, 2-ounces. Falling water hurt his day 3 bite but fishing new water is nothing new.
“The water has been falling all week. Ive been moving around and just fishing. I started in my main lake pocket but the carp had the place all mud. I actually caught a 30-pounder in there, then a 10-pound bowfin, and then a giant snapping turtle.”
The pro from Santa Maria, California decided that pre fishing on the final day was what he was going to have to do. A quick move to the river and a quick limit on a frog got him going.
“I got on this little 300-yard stretch and I worked it all day. The big fish moved up throughout the day and I would just pick them off when they would set up.”
Fernandes relied on his IROD 733 Crusher series rods and 15-pound P-Line Halo Fluorocarbon for almost all his chatterbait fish this week and mixed in an IROD 714 when he went to work with his spinnerbait.
“In practice and on day 1, the big fish would eat the frog, but since then they would just roll on it and not get it.”
Fernandes relied on his 18-pounds, 2-ounces on day 2 to propel him into the top 10. A decent bag today of 13-pounds, 8-ounces pushed him into the top 5 with 44-pounds, 2-ounces total
Mike Comeau of Alburgh, Vermont caught a 7-pound, 7-ounce largemouth.
The rest of the best:
6. Joe Discerni 43-10
7. Chance Woodard 42-3
8. Marc Schilling 41-4
9. Brandon Perkins 40-14
10. Greg Mansfield 37-12
John Cox Surges Ahead at Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit on Lewis Smith Lake
CULLMAN. Ala. (March 12, 2021) – Berkley pro John Cox of DeBary, Florida brought a five-bass limit to the scale on Friday, weighing 16 pounds, 13 ounces, to take control of the leaderboard after Day Two of the MLF Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit presented by Bad Boy Mowers, Covercraft Stop 2 – Lewis Smith Lake in Cullman, Alabama. Starting the day in fourth place, Cox’s two-day total of 10 bass weighing 33 pounds, 10 ounces moved him into the top spot heading into Day Three of the event.
Pro Kerry Milner of Fisher, Arkansas, dropped one spot, from 1st place into 2nd, with a five-bass limit weighing 13 pounds, 14 ounces, giving him a two-day total of 31 pounds, 14 ounces – just 1-pound, 12-ounces shy of Cox.
The four-day competition features a field of 163 of the best bass fishing professionals from around the world competing for a top cash award of up to $135,000.
Cox said he’d been itching to sight-fish beds, but didn’t allow himself to even look on Thursday or Friday.
“I just know they aren’t ready yet,” said Cox, the 2016 FLW Cup champion. “I’m hoping they get ready before the tournament is over, but there are too many on the move right now and there are way more opportunities to run into them while they are moving than to catch them on a bed.”
Cox said he went into the tournament planning to focus on dirty water until the bass committed to beds, then switch to cleaner water when he could sight-fish them. However, after the last two days’ haul, he will likely stick with what’s working.
“I caught many of Friday’s fish in random pockets that I hadn’t visited yet, so I think just following that pattern and catching them on the move is going to be my best bet,” continued Cox. “The water is warming up so fast – there was almost a 10-degree difference from the beginning of the day to the end – so I’m definitely keeping my options open to any changes in movement over the next two days.”
Cox said he had seven total keepers on Day Two, which was quite a feat considering it was a struggle for most of the field.
“I’ve been throwing a Dirty Jigs Swim Jig with a Berkley Powerbait Maxscent Meaty Chunk Trailer and mixing it up with a frog and a wacky-rigged Berkley Powerbait The General Worm,” said Cox. “I fished different areas of the lake, but basically used the same baits and techniques both days.”
Cox, who has a lot of history on the fishery, said he’s fishing many of the same pockets he’s fished in the past.
“They served me well then and I hope to continue the success through the remainder of this event.”
The top 20 pros after Day Two on Lewis Smith Lake are:
1st: John Cox, DeBary, Fla., 10 bass, 33-10
2nd: Kerry Milner, Fisher, Ark. 10 bass, 31-14

Soukup Maintains NPFL Lead on Lake Eufaula
By Justin Brouillard | Photo Tanner & Travis Lyons
EUFAULA, Alabama – John Soukup maintains his lead on Lake Eufaula with a 5 fish limit of 20-pounds, 2-ounces. His total weight of 40-pounds, 14-ounces anchored by a 6-pound, 4-ounce lunker gives him a slim lead over the 2nd place angler.
As seen on live, Soukup picked up where he left off yesterday and probed around on a 100-yard stretch to catch most of his weight today.
“I fished where I caught them yesterday, and didn’t get bit. I fished where I didn’t catch them yesterday and they were firing today. I am still looking at every fish on the Garmin, but the hard part is getting them to bite.
The Sapulpa, OK pro noted that most anywhere he parks, the big fish are there, but the key is making them bite. In between catching 15 to 20 bass on day 2, a few long lulls in the action has the leader a little worried.
“I am going to go back to where I got them today and hope I can get them to go. The jerkbait has been the key for me but I did pick up that 6-pounder on a spinning rod today. I need to hunker down and catch a limit and then just move around to find ones that want to bite. I can get in and out of areas in that Xpress boat quietly and I have to make long casts.”
On live, viewers saw Soukup hook up with a small keeper bass as he noticed a bigger fish following along. One of two doubles today on the Spro jerkbait, Soukup says that was one of the coolest things.
“I was fighting that small one to the boat and dropped my rod to let the fish swim and that big one smashed it. Tomorrow I just need to settle in and fish my areas. The obvious spots that look good seem to be harder to get bit but I have a couple little areas that should have some fish left.”
Chance Woodward was the star of live coverage today and cranked his way into the 2nd spot less than 2-pounds behind the leader. Woodward weeded through 50 plus bass today for the biggest bag of the event. His 23-pounds, 8-ounces has his total weight at 39-pounds even going into the final day.
“I am fishing where a main creek dumps into the river but I have a few sweet spots where they are loaded up. The wash out from the creek creates these hard bottom spots and the school of fish I was on was huge.”
Making a precise cast has been key to casting these Eufaula bass, but the Texas pro spent some time keeping people guessing. With multiple boats in the area, people took notice of his non-stop action.
“I moved all around that area today scouting a bit and keeping people wondering. I threw that Lew’s 7’11” David Fritts Signature Crankbait rod all day and they were smashing the Strike King 5XD.”
Unsure about how his fish will react to the thrashing he gave them today, Woodard has a few cards in his back pocket, just in case.
“I pushed my way back into a pocket this afternoon where I saw some males in practice and ended up caching a good fish on a buzzbait. That gave me an extra half-pound. I located two other areas that seem to set up like my main area and I think I can catch them there if needed.”
The goal is to get back to work early on the final day and Woodard isn’t worried about catching fish, but is hopeful a few bigger fish move back into the area.
“I did some math this afternoon. I think I have caught over 70 fish on that one area – it’s unreal. If that spot dries up, I’ll make a move and I am confident I can run into some fish somewhere. I should be able to get a limit, and then I’ll get rolling.”
Nick Prvonozac topped his 16-pounds, 10-ounces on day with a 5 fish stringer of 18-pounds, 2-ounces. The Warren, Ohio pro stuck to his game plan but after all morning without a bite, had to change it up.
“I went through an area in 4 to 5-foot and didn’t get a bite. The water is dropping so much and I got to a stretch and ended up getting them on a Booyah Pad Crasher.
Tomorrow, more of the same. Prvonozac will return to his area and keep fishing around.
“I am fishing dirt shallow and I think the falling water has the fish retreating and they are all along the grass edges.
David Gaston relied on his Day 2 weight of 19-pounds, 9-ounce to slip into the top 5 with a total weight of 33-pounds, 11-ounces. The Sylacauga, Alabama pro started in an area where he had a good bite in practice and landed a 4-pounder yesterday.
“I had this little spot on the main lake where the boat wakes kept it stirred up. The falling water made is tough and I only had 3 fish around 11 AM and knew I had to make a move.”
Setting for 9 to 10-pounds was not in the cards and a gamble paid off big time for Gaston. After searching around for an area that was not as affected by the falling water, he settled in and went to work in a big way. A few quick bites and a 5-pounder to finish his limit was all it took.
“I caught that big one, culled a few times for ounces, and boom, a 4-pounder. I wanted one more good bite to finish my bag off. I ended up losing another good one around 4-pounds and not 3 minutes later that big one bite.”
A 6-pounder to anchor his day and move him to the top 5 and Gaston now has to figure out what to do on the final day to keep his momentum pointed upward.
“I will end up fishing a lot of new water tomorrow looking for big bites. The biggest thing is getting a limit, catching those keepers, and getting bigger ones mixed in. I am going to keep that swimjig in my hands and rotate around shallow and a little deeper.”
Joe Discerni of Warren Ohio brought 15-pounds, 8-ounces to the scales for a two-day total of 32-pounds, 8-ounces. He heads into the final day in the 5th spot.
Louis Fernandes followed up his day 1 weight with 18-pounds, 2-ounces for a two-day total of 30-pounds, 10-ounces. Going into the final day, Fernandas knows he is doing the right thing, and needs to connect with some of the big ones he saw in practice.
“On day 1, I should have had a mega bag. I went into one of my better pockets and there was another guy who came in behind me. I went left, he went right. Soon after he dumped a 7 and a 9-pounder and I would have been around those fish.”
The Santa Marie, California pro is fishing shallower than anyone in the field and pushing himself into pockets to look for fresh fish.
“I am covering all new water and the fish I am around will bite whatever I can get to them. I am picking between 10 rods and fishing what looks the best based on the shoreline. Ive never been here before, but I am noticing that these Eufaula bass will pull up and spawn on anything – no nothing, mud banks.”
The plan for the final day is more of the same. Fernandas will fish some productive pockets and keep exploring. He has been targeting main lake pockets, river pockets, and basically anything they will spawn in.
Landon Tucker brought 16-pounds, 11-ounces to the scales and heads into the final day in 7th place. The Adel, Georgia pro has been fishing off shore all week and got on the right stretch at the right time after a slow start.
“I had like no fish at 10 AM. I had 2 bites early but they never got it good and I didn’t get a hook in them. I’m rotating like 150 brush piles a day and on the 16th one today, I got my first bite.”
Not only was the first bite a relief, but the 6-pound, 2-ounce lunker anchored his day 2 haul. On pile number 17 for the day, a 4-pounder bit and gave him 2 fish for over 10-pounds. Those two fish stayed with Tucker for a short while before starting back over on his best stretch.
“I caught 2 small fish on a brush pile I marked in practice but I had not fished it yet during the tournament. I got back to my best stretch and ended up culling one of those small fish. I only got 6 bites all day but they are the right fish.”
Tucker has spent his entire event in 8 to 12-foot and is switching between a CJ Jigs ½-ounce football jig and a big worm. His plan for the final day is more of the same, keep his best stretch honest and fish as much brush piles as possible.
The rest of the best:
8. Greg Mansfield 26-pounds, 1-ounce
9. Brian Hatfield 25-pounds, 10-ounces
10. Jesse Millsaps 24-pounds, 15 ounces
Milner Leads Day One of Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit on Lewis Smith Lake
CULLMAN, Ala. (March. 11, 2021) – Bass fishing professionals from around the world set out on Lewis Smith Lake Thursday to begin their four-day competition for a shot to win up to $135,000 at the MLF Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit presented by Bad Boy Mowers, Covercraft Stop 2 – Lewis Smith Lake. Pro Kerry Milner of Fisher, Arkansas, weighed a five-bass limit totaling 18 pounds even, to take the early lead after Day One. Milner holds a mere 5-ounce lead over pro Joseph Webster of Winfield, Alabama , who caught five bass weighing 17-11, good for second place.
Milner brought five spotted bass to the scale but said he boated a whopping 20 keepers on the tough day.
“I’m seeing a lot of people fishing the same stuff I’m fishing, but having different results,” said Milner. “I’ve been able to go right in behind people and catch them.”
Milner said he has two spots on the main lake with schools of fish that he feels are especially good because of the herring in the area.
“I’m seeing herring float up, watching them on the graph and seeing fish spit them up when I catch them,” said Milner. “There are multiple fish in those areas – you can just sit there and catch them all day.”
When asked if he thought his bait was the difference-maker, Milner was guarded, but said he believed it was the total technique.
“I’m doing something a little different than everyone else and I think the other guys are missing them on the depth by just a bit,” said Milner. “I figured out what I was going to do in practice – I instantly went to a spot that sets up like these two areas, and caught a 3-pounder. I tried a few other things, then came back to this same technique and was able to shake off fish in five different spots on the lake. At that point, I knew what I needed to do and let the fish and the areas rest until competition day. That’s what I plan to do until those fish abandon me.”
It was refreshing for Milner to start out with a bang on Day One of the competition, as he said his prior two trips to Lewis Smith Lake didn’t go nearly as well.
“The other times we were at Lewis Smith, it was a little bit too early for the technique I’m using,” Milner continued cryptically. “I had a pretty good first day of practice one year, that set up just like this, but they left and got on beds. It’s still a bit too cold for that though, so I don’t think they are going to move up this week.”
Milner would only say that he was “fishing the way he wants to fish” and said it was very familiar and the way he typically fishes on Arkansas’ Norfork Lake, Lake Dardanelle and other fisheries.
“This is what I look for everywhere I go,” said Milner. “ My fans and followers back home know exactly what I’m doing.”
Perhaps if the spots hold and the technique continues, Milner will clue us in on his technique and what worked so well for him on Thursday.
The top 10 pros after Day One on Lewis Smith Lake are:
1st: Kerry Milner, Fisher, Ark., five bass, 18-0
2nd: Joseph Webster, Winfield, Ala., five bass. 17-11
3rd: Joshua Weaver, Macon, Ga., five bass, 17-4
4th: John Cox, DeBary, Fla., five bass, 16-13
5th: Cole Floyd, Leesburg, Ohio, five bass, 16-2
6th: Bobby Lane, Lakeland, Fla., five bass, 15-15
7th: Corey Neece, Bristol, Tenn., five bass, 15-3
8th: Tai Au, Glendale, Ariz., five bass, 14-15
9th: Ricky Robinson, Greenback, Tenn., five bass, 14-13
10th: Kyle Cortiana, Coweta, Okla., five bass, 14-8

Cox won the day’s $500 Berkley Big Bass award in the pro division, bringing home a bass weighing 5 pounds, 4 ounces to the scale.
Overall, there were 544 bass weighing 1,273 pounds, 10 ounces caught by 163 pros on Thursday, which included 65 five-bass limits.
The MLF Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit presented by Bad Boy Mowers, Covercraft Stop 2 – Lewis Smith Lake is hosted by the Cullman Area Local Organizing Committee.

Soukup leads day 1 of inaugural TNPFL event on Lake Eufaula!
EUFAULA, Alabama – For the inaugural event of the 2021 NPFL season, John Soukup of Sapulpa OK takes the Day 1 lead with 20 pounds, 12 ounces.
Soukup began his morning fishing shallow, offshore on Lake Eufaula in a small area he found with several brush piles close by.
“I found this little main lake pocket that had 10-20 brush piles I could easily jump around between. I slowly plucked a fish here and there and culled up to a 10 to 11-pound limit.”
A good decision between 10 and 11 AM defined his day when he decided to make a little move to a shallow pocket. After scanning around on his Garmin Livescope, Soukup realized the area had loaded up with fish.
“I could see fish everywhere but they would not bite. I rotated though all the rods I had and finally got a 5-pounder to bite on a shaky head. I stuck with that but couldn’t get anything to go.”
Another short move further back out of the pocket to the main lake paid off as Soukup was able to find a wad of big fish on his Livescope and quickly went to work with a jerkbait.
“I could see every fish and I didn’t even make a cast until I saw them on the Livescope. Everybody could probably see me on the Live Coverage scanning around looking for fish.”
Rotating between a Spro and a Megabass, he was able to jerkbait his way to a few solid culls late in the day to put him 3-pounds, 12 ounces over the 2ndplace angler.
“Both of the big fish I caught had others with them, little wolfpacks. I would get one to bite but the others would swim away.”
Soukup believes he should have no problems catching fish tomorrow between his shallow brush and his “medium” transition areas, but whether or not the big fish will bite remains to be seen. The game plan is to continue to run productive areas between 3 and 15-foot and try to find those bigger fish.
“All the credit goes to the Garmin units and the amazing job that The Bass Tank service guys did on my Express boat. The install is beyond clean, the power and mounts are amazing. Without those Garmin units and the Livescope, I may not have caught a bass.”
In second place, the pro from Warren, Ohio got to work early and often. Joe Discerni started on his offshore spot first thing and they were biting to the tune of 17-pounds.
“I caught all my weight really fast and within two hours the bite had died, but I had my weight. I moved up shallow to check on some bed fish and found some little ones and ended up losing a 3.5-pounder flipping that would have helped.”
As for tomorrow, Discerni is confident he can catch some more fish, but it’s anyone’s guess if the big fish show up again. He visited the “sweet” spot later on in the day and was able to grind out a few fish on the crankbait in the afternoon but no fish that would have helped.
“I think I can get a few on that 10-12-foot diving crankbait again and I might be able to slow down and pick up a few more on some bottom baits.”
Nick Prvonozac of Warren, Ohio ended the day in 3rdplace with a 16-pound, 10-ounce limit. Prvonozac made the run to the south end of the lake to target spawning fish but was met with a plethora of small fish and nothing new that had moved up.
“I caught a few of those smaller spawning fish but had to get off the bank to look for bigger bass. I fished new water today in 4 to 6-foot and just covered water.”
The Fishermans Central pro mixed it up between a reaction style bait and a bottom contact bait but with only catching 5 all day, it was a grind. What he expected to be a sight fishing derby from the beginning, turned into a scramble to keep his bait in areas where the fish will be transitioning through.
“I only got 5 bites all day so it was not fast and furious, but they were the right size. As for tomorrow, I will probably catch a quick bedded fish and then do more of the same. The water is dropping and muddy, the fish are all messed up.”
Only 4 ounces back of Prvonozac, Greg Mansfield of Louisburg, Kansas took advantage of an early “whack fest” and caught his 16-pounds, 6-ounces to end the day in 4th place. Mansfield took advantage of a spot he found in practice and was pleasantly surprised to find numbers of fish.
“I had one bite in practice on this little deal and I rolled up this morning and it was on. I grinded for a few hours but the bite died and nothing else I caught after helped my bag.”
Mansfield found some quality Eufaula bass but noted they were all clones – 3 to 4-pounds.
“If I can get one or two big fish tomorrow and finish a limit, it could get interesting. I found some sight fish and I could catch a few if I need to, but I’d like to save those. Ill bounce back and forth shallow and deep and see what happens.”
In 5th place after Day 1, Chance Woodard brought 15-pounds, 8-ounces to the scales. The Big Bass leader for the event is John Cox with a 6-pound, 1-ounce bass.
Rest of the Best:
6th place – Brian Hatfield 14-4
7th place – David Gaston 14-2
8th place – Hunter Baughman 13-12
9th place – John Cox 13-12
10th place – Chris Whisenant 13-9

Hite hangs on to pliers and a spinnerbait for perspective
Courtesy of Alan McGuckin - Dynamic Sponsorships
If you think Davy Hite began his Bass Fishing Hall of Fame career in a fully-rigged fiberglass bass boat you should have been there when he was a kid growing up in a home without a telephone or central heat and air, catching catfish from an aluminum boat to sell for additional income.
Hite was raised largely by his grandparents, and while they were by no means poor, they were products of America’s Greatest Generation. They lived through the Great Depression, and his grandfather fought in World War II.
“We never lacked for food, and my bed always had clean sheets, but that generation didn’t waste a thing, and spent very little money on anything they had learned to live without. To this day, I still get upset when my wife leaves a light on in a room because it’s a waste of electricity, and we’ve been married 35 years,” grins Hite.
The crazy thing is, Hite grew up in the 70s, but because he was raised by folks from a much earlier generation, not even an electric or natural gas furnace existed in their lakeside home. Instead, his grandma would rise early to build a fire to heat the home while cooking young Davy’s breakfast every morning.
The simple life left a sentimental mark on the 8-time B.A.S.S. tournament winner and ’99 Classic Champ, and a pair of needle nose pliers along with an old Zorro spinnerbait are always in his Yamaha powered Phoenix to remind him of his childhood and keep his life’s ground wire firmly plugged in.
“My granddaddy was a pretty special man. I’ve seen pictures of him sleeping in a pup tent in Italy during WW II, and when he took me running trot lines when I was 11 or 12, these exact yellow handled needle nose pliers were always with us – not only to unhook fish, but in case one of us accidentally got hooked, or you had to cut a line or whatever,” recalls Hite.
But Davy’s granddaddy wasn’t just a catfisherman. His knowledge of bass fishing was pretty dang strong and detailed too. To the point he knew to tell Davy to tie on a double Colorado spinnerbait with hammered copper blades anytime the water got high and off-colored on Lake Murray.
“This packaged Zorro spinnerbait I carry in my boat is a replica of the one I used to catch my very first bass on a spinnerbait when I was a kid. And then amazingly, I used the same exact bait to win my very first B.A.S.S. event at Lake Eufaula, Alabama in 1994,” recalls Hite.
So while Hite was likely the only kid in the Saluda, South Carolina Class of ’83 who had to drive four miles to use a payphone, you can also be certain the values instilled in him by two members of America’s Greatest Generation went far in molding him into a 2-time Bassmaster Angler of the Year.
“Honestly, for my story to come true, considering where I came from, is proof you can come from a house heated by a wood stove, catching catfish from a 14-foot Jon boat and still make it,” concludes the always classy Hite.
The Zorro spinnerbait and a pair of needle nose pliers he chooses to keep in his boat remind him often of exactly where he came from, and to live a life that honors the granddaddy who built its foundation.

Bassmaster Elite At Sabine River Back On For April
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Bassmaster Elite at Sabine River, which was rescheduled for August, will return to its originally scheduled dates April 8-11 after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott rescinded mandates that would have dramatically reduced the number of fans permitted on-site.
Previous Elite events in Orange, Texas have drawn record-breaking crowds — in three previous visits, the crowds totaled more than 96,000.
Despite the rollback of previous COVID-related mandates, officials from both B.A.S.S. and Orange County have cautioned that fans should still exercise caution in large gatherings and encourage measures such as social distancing and frequent hand-washing or use of sanitizer to reduce the risk of spreading germs.
“We’re happy to work with officials in Orange to get this event back on April’s schedule,” said B.A.S.S. CEO Bruce Akin. “These unprecedented times have truly emphasized the need to work with great partners, and the flexibility from officials and our hosts at the Greater Orange County Chamber of Commerce is deeply appreciated.
“Our priority is offering an event that is responsibly operated and safe for everyone involved while still being fun and competitive.”

In its 26th season, the circuit formerly known as the FLW Tour features 163 of the world’s best bass-fishing professionals competing across six regular-season events, each with a top award of up to $135,000. The field will also compete for valuable points to qualify for the 2021 Tackle Warehouse TITLE presented by Mercury, the Pro Circuit Championship, and the opportunity to compete for up to $235,000.
This event will mark the fifth time the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit has visited Lewis Smith Lake.
The Pro Circuit last visited Smith Lake in April 2018, when North Carolina pro David Williams took advantage of the shad spawn around the docks, bringing home the hardware with a four-day total of 64 pounds, 9 ounces. Prior to that, in March 2015, Pennsylvania pro Dave Lefebre sacked up 65 pounds, 5 ounces over four days, with a unique technique – targeting fish chasing blueback herring with a wakebait – to bring home the win. Lefebre also holds the record for the heaviest winning weight in a Pro Circuit event on Smith Lake.
“I was able to fish on Smith Lake a lot last year due to COVID-19 – it is phenomenal through the winter months and anglers are able to get a lot of bites. The fishing is ideal right now and will be through the next month or so,” said Cullman native and Bass Pro Tour angler Matt Lee. “It’s setting up nice and we haven’t had any crazy amounts of rain or flooding, so I think guys are going to be able to catch them just about any way they want to.”
Although Smith Lake is a highland reservoir and known for its deep, clear water, with depths up to 250 feet, with spring around the corner the fish are starting to move up to shallower water.
“It’s in that pre-spawn phase right now – right in between moons, when fish are moving up – so this should be a really good tournament,” Lee continued. “The dirtier water back in the creeks is always a factor on Smith Lake. However, with the number of boats in the field, there’s not as much of it, so it can fish small under that type of pressure and it might be tricky to count on that to hold up for four days.
“I predict it will take 17 pounds a day to win the event and 15 pounds the first three days should guarantee a spot in the top 10 on the final day,” said Lee.
Anglers will take off at 7 a.m. CT Thursday through Sunday from Smith Lake Park, located at 403 County Road 386 in Cullman. Weigh-ins will also be held at the park Thursday and Friday at 3 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 4 p.m. Due to COVID-19 precautions, attendance is limited to competing anglers, family, essential staff and media covering the event. Fans are encouraged to follow the action online through the MLF NOW! live stream and coverage at MajorLeagueFishing.com.
In Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit competition, the full field of 163 anglers compete in the two-day opening round on Thursday and Friday. The top 50 pros based on their two-day cumulative weight advance to Saturday. Only the top 10 pros continue competition on Sunday, with the winner determined by the heaviest accumulated weight from the four days of competition.
The MLF Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit presented by Bad Boy Mowers, Covercraft Stop 2 – Lewis Smith Lake event will feature live on-the-water coverage and a two-hour action-packed television show that will premiere on the Outdoor Channel on Sunday, July 18 from 7 to 9 a.m. ET and re-air on the Sportsman Channel this fall. Weigh-ins will be streamed daily and fans can catch live on-the-water action all day Saturday and Sunday, March 13-14 on MLF NOW! beginning at 7:30 a.m. CT at MajorLeagueFishing.com.
The 2021 season culminates with the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit TITLE presented by Mercury, where the top 48 pros in the points standings plus, 2020 TITLE Champion Rusty Salewske of Alpine, California, and 2020 Angler of the Year Ron Nelson of Berrien Springs, Michigan, will compete for as much as $235,000. The 2021 TITLE will be on the Mississippi River in La Crosse, Wisconsin on Aug. 17-22, and is hosted by Explore La Crosse.

3rd Place Earns John Cox Bonus Bucks
Courtesy of Luke Stoner - Dynamic Sponsorships
John Cox is no stranger to making bass fishing headlines. Whether he’s winning tournaments, testing out head turning hair-dos, entering every professional bass fishing tournament known to man, or cashing another $3,000 of Toyota Bonus Bucks, Cox is always appearing in the news.
Cox’s marathon 2021 season is comprised of twenty-two Tour level tournaments. That includes the full Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour, the MLFBig5 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit, and the Bassmaster Elite Series calendar of events. He is the only angler taking on that kind of schedule this year.
“The more tournaments the better as far as I’m concerned,” Cox laughed. “I have a couple conflicts but will only have to miss two events. I’ll have lots of time on the water and plenty of chances to earn Bonus Bucks!”
The easy going Florida pro purchased a 2021 Tundra before the start of the season after his 2016 aged out of the popular program at the end of last year. Cox handed down his 2016 truck to his 18-year old son the day he drove his new tow vehicle off the lot.
“Man I like a lot of things about these trucks but the towing power has to be top of the list,” Cox said. “I love how a Tundra pulls and it’s hard to beat the reliability. Whether it’s me pulling a big Crestliner across the country or my 18-year-old needing a daily driver, I’m confident trusting a Toyota.”
Cox was one of many Elite Series pros vocal about an extremely tough practice and genuinely feared he would not catch a keeper on day one of the Tennessee River Elite. At 10:00 AM Cox was sitting on empty livewells when an area he knew of thanks to a past tournament win by the late Glenn Browne came to mind.
The area he referred to as “Glenn’s creek” proved fruitful and he was able to milk enough shallow water largemouth out of the spot to remain squarely inside the top 10 all week.
“It was really special having Glenn’s creek save my tournament like it did,” Cox said with a smile thinking about his old friend. “I didn’t catch a single fish in there during practice. Heck, I didn’t catch many fish at all in practice. Glenn’s creek and David Fritts making a sweet crankbait and cranking system saved my butt for sure.”
A #5 Berkley Frittside Crankbait paired with a 7-foot 6-inch medium heavy Abu Garcia Veritas Winch Crankbait rod accounted for every single bass Cox caught en route to a 3rd place finish.
Whether you compete in team tournaments on the weekends when you have time, or you fish in every tournament possible like John Cox you can earn Bonus Bucks. As long as you tow your boat with a 2017 or newer Toyota tow vehicle you are eligible for the program.
Bonus Bucks pays out to hundreds of bass and walleye tournaments of all levels. Follow this link https://www.toyotatrucksbonusbucks.com/ to sign up (for free), to see a full list of supported events, or to find more information.
Harlin Goes Wire-to-Wire, Wins Toyota Series Event on Lake of the Ozarks
Missouri Pro Earns Second Career MLF Victory on Lake of the Ozarks, Earns $37,802
OSAGE BEACH, Mo. (March 7, 2021) – Missouri boater Michael Harlin of Sunrise Beach, Missouri, brought five bass to the scale Saturday weighing 20 pounds, 6 ounces to win the Toyota Series presented by A.R.E. at Lake of the Ozarks Presented by Fenwick. Harlin weighed in 15 bass over three days of competition totaling 62 pounds, 1 ounce, besting second-place angler Andy Newcomb of Camdenton, Missouri , by more than 15 pounds. For his victory, Harlin earned the top payout of $37,802 in the first tournament of the 2021 Toyota Series Presented by A.R.E. Plains Division.
Each day was a little different in how the bite unfolded for Harlin, but he caught them all three days doing the same thing – throwing an umbrella rig while watching his forward-facing sonar.
“Today, I stuck with the same plan,” Harlin said. “I was fortunate to sit right down on them this morning when they were biting, or it would have been a lot tougher. I caught my two biggest fish right away and had most of my weight by 9 o’clock.”
All week, he targeted what he considers the mid-depth range and cycled through multiple spots.
“I keyed on the 6- to 20-foot range,” said Harlin. “All of the places were between the toll bridge and the dam. I started the tournament with around 15 spots I found in practice and had narrowed it down to eight or 10 by today. I also found some new stuff yesterday and that’s where I started today.”
Keying on brush and rock to find fish, Harlin thinks locating staging areas was of more importance. Timing was another critical factor.
“It was mainly brush but also some rock and pea gravel,” said Harlin. “It didn’t seem to matter what it was they were holding to. The first day I caught them all day and the second day, it was late in the day. Today, it was an early bite. I think you just had to hit it right when they were in that feeding window.
Harlin’s umbrella-rig was a YUM YUMbrella Flash Mob Jr. with 1/8-ounce Crock-O-Gator jigheads rigged with 3.8-inch Keitech Swing Impact FAT swimbaits . That setup was his go-to all week.
“I fished the French pearl color and pro blue red pearl and would alternate if it got sunny or cloudy,” he said. “I also caught some fish today on a Megabass Vision 110 in stain reaction OB.”
Forward-facing sonar was vital for Harlin, both for locating fish and getting them to bite.
“I watched just about every fish I caught this week eat the bait,” he says. “It takes a lot of practice with it, but you can learn to interact with the fish. It helps you get them to bite when they aren’t really biting that good or just following it. It gives you a clue to change your retrieve a little if they are not committing to it.”
The top 10 pros on Lake of the Ozarks finished:
1st: Michael Harlin of Sunrise Beach, Mo., 15 bass, 62-1, $37,802
2nd: Andy Newcomb of Camdenton, Mo., 15 bass, 46-12, $15,595
3rd: Jack Uxa of Osage Beach, Mo., 15 bass, 46-6, $11,299
4th: Brock Reinkemeyer of Warsaw, Mo., 15 bass, 45-9, $9,416
5th: Eric Olliverson of Lampe, Mo., 12 bass, 45-8, $8,475
6th: Kirk Smith of Edmonton, Okla., 15 bass, 43-6, $7,533
7th: Brad Jelinek of Lincoln, Mo., 15 bass, 42-12, $6,591
8th: Stephen Whitesell of Grove, Okla., 15 bass, 42-6, $5,650
9th: Shonn Goodwin of Moore, Okla., 14 bass, 40-2, $4,708
10th: Russ Lane of Prattville, Ala., eight bass, 29-9, $3,766

Harlin won Thursday’s Berkley Big Bass Award after bringing a 6-pound, 6-ounce largemouth to the scale. Friday’s Berkley Big Bass Award went to Brien Vaughn of Hollister, Missouri, with a 6-pound, 7-ounce largemouth. Each angler won a bonus of $137.
Newcomb took home an extra $1,000 as the highest finishing Phoenix MLF BIG5 Bonus member. Boaters are eligible to win up to an extra $35,000 per event in each Toyota Series tournament if all requirements are met. More information on the Phoenix MLF BIG5 Bonus contingency program can be found at PhoenixBassBoats.com .
Casey Goode of La Crosse, Wisconsin, won the Strike King Co-angler Division Saturday with a three-day total of 11 bass weighing 31 pounds, 2 ounces. Goode took home the top prize package of a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard motor.

Carson-Newman Team Of Gaddis And Cully Earns Bassmaster College Series Win At Hartwell
Ben Cully and Hayden Gaddis, of Carson-Newman University, have won the 2021 Carhartt Bassmaster College Series at Lake Hartwell presented by Bass Pro Shops with a two-day total of 35 pounds, 10 ounces.

March 6, 2021
ANDERSON, S.C. — When the first stop of the 2021 Carhartt Bassmaster College Series presented by Bass Pro Shops was changed from Lake Norman to Lake Hartwell due to COVID-19 protocols, Carson-Newman University angler Ben Cully was less than pleased.
Hartwell had not been kind to him and his partner Hayden Gaddis the last couple of years, including a 35th-place finish last year.
This season, however, Gaddis and Cully flipped the script and took home the victory at Lake Hartwell, catching 17 pounds, 13 ounces on both days for a two-day total of 35-10. Along with some hardware, the duo earned a spot in the 2021 Bassmaster College Series National Championship and more than $3,000 for the Carson-Newman fishing program.
“I was looking forward to Norman,” Cully said. “We fished Hartwell quite a bit and we haven’t done the greatest. It worked out this time, though. Hartwell treated us right.”
The duo finished over 2 1/2 pounds ahead of the Emmanuel College team of Tyler Campbell and Caleb Hudson, while their Carson-Newman teammates Braden Perry and Aidan England placed third.
“It’s just a range of emotions right now,” Gaddis said. “It’s been a dream of mine since I was a child and we finally made it happen.”
With the change in venue, Gaddis said they knew they had to target largemouth if they wanted a chance to win. They focused their efforts on the Tugaloo River side of Lake Hartwell, specifically targeting the back sides of docks and laydowns.
They used a white 1/2-ounce Z-Man Evergreen JackHammer with a swimbait trailer and a 1/2-ounce Z-Man CrossEyeZ jig in green pumpkin.
“It’s kind of like a staging area for those fish to get ready and spawn,” Cully said. “All the fish we’ve been catching are fish that are just about ready to spawn.”
Sitting in third place following Day 1, Gaddis wrote a simple message on the top of his hand before taking off on Championship Saturday: “Grind it.” The phrase turned out to be a reality for the team, as cooler, cloudy conditions swept over the area overnight and prevailed most of the morning and early afternoon.
After throwing the ChatterBait for most of the morning with no success, they slowed down and started flipping jigs. With one bass in their livewell by mid-morning, they made a move and quickly filled their limit and caught their biggest bass of the day, a largemouth they estimated to be over 5 pounds.
“It was just a mental note to keep your head down and fish, even when things aren’t looking good,” Gaddis said. “We were down and out until we pulled into that pocket and that just boosted our confidence and it got the ball rolling.”
Campbell and Hudson also struggled during the morning hours trying to catch spotted bass in deeper water on the Southern end of Lake Hartwell. Their fortunes changed later in the afternoon, however, when the sun finally emerged.
“Those spotted bass, the way they are set up right now, they have their nose in the cover,” Campbell said. “Once that sun popped out, we knew we had to capitalize on the opportunity. As soon as the sun came out and it (calmed down), we were able to get them in the boat.”
With one fish in the boat for most of the day, Campbell and Hudson filled their limit at around 1 p.m. and culled several more times for a Day 2 total of 16-12, jumping from seventh to second with 33-5.
Campbell, a Lake Hartwell resident, spent most of practice eliminating water and didn’t expect to fish offshore based on history. But when the shallow pattern didn’t produce, they made an adjustment and found some manmade brushpiles offshore.
The Emmanuel College freshmen used a 3/8-ounce Greenfish Tackle Swimball paired with a 3.8 Keitech swimbait in Tennessee shad to catch their spotted bass in 20 to 40 feet of water.
“We let it sink down to the bottom,” Hudson said. “They ate it right off the bottom or in the structure we were fishing.”
Despite leading Day 1, Perry and England fell short of a victory once again on a spotted bass venue, finishing third with 33-4. The Carson-Newman team used a vertical presentation on the first day, but strong winds prevented them from setting up on their spot Saturday.
“We were fired up to get out there,” Perry said. “We got to our one little honey hole and the wind was blowing right in on it. We couldn’t get set up on our fish and didn’t catch any fish dropping like we did yesterday. We had to scramble and come up with a new game plan.”
While a 3-inch Gulp Minnow with a 1/4-ounce VMC Moon Eye jighead was the key on Day 1, Perry and England salvaged their day Saturday by running secondary points with river rock, throwing a football jig and a wobblehead jig.
While they fell short, the duo qualified for their third-straight National Championship.
The team of Brady Harp and Jordan McCaleb won the Carhartt Big Bass of the tournament award with a 6-7 largemouth caught on the first day. They earned a $500 Carhartt gift card.

LEESBURG, Fla. — Overcoming a modest start, Keith Tuma of Brainerd, Minn., caught the week’s biggest bag of 26 pounds, 2 ounces Saturday and won the Basspro.com Bassmaster Southern Open at the Harris Chain of Lakes with a three-day total of 58-13.
One of only two anglers to break 20 pounds twice (also second-place Alex Wetherell), Tuma caught 12-6 on Day 1 and placed 58th. Friday saw him rebound with a limit of 20-5, which moved him into 10th.
Knowing he couldn’t finish any lower, Tuma said he entered Saturday’s final round with a relaxed attitude that helped him focus on improving.
“Yesterday, I never thought I’d have a shot at the Top 10, so today, I went out there super calm,” he said. “My family and friends back home told me, ‘Just go fishing. You can’t do any worse than 10.’ It just started coming together. It was ridiculous.”
Tuma earned $52,300, which included the $500 Garmin Tournament Rewards prize, and a berth in the 2022 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk.
Previous experience benefited Tuma, who, along with Minnesota B.A.S.S. Nation partner Andy Walls, placed second at the 2020 Bassmaster Team Championship at the Harris Chain. Relying on his knowledge of this stellar Florida fishery, Tuma located a key stretch of offshore grass in about 8 feet of water.
“The key for me was staying in the one spot I had found in practice until I had the limit I needed to have the confidence to check out other spots,” Tuma said. “The wind was a little harder on my main spot, but I did get an 8-pounder there and then I ran to my other area and caught one in the 6-pound range.”
Tuma’s secondary spot was a flat in 5 to 6 feet of water with low-growing hydrilla on the bottom. In both areas, he used a 1/2- to 3/4-ounce white Z-Man JackHammer ChatterBait with a Castaic Jerky J trailer.
“Everybody else who was in the area was throwing ChatterBaits with paddletail trailers, but I think that the little subtle difference in my trailer made the fish want to eat,” he said. “I was getting bit when other guys weren’t.”
Both of Tuma’s areas were within approximately half a mile of Venetian Gardens (site of the daily takeoffs and Day 1 and 2 weigh-ins). Proximity to the tournament site meant fishing near a steady travel lane — and Tuma realized that boat traffic actually benefited his game each tournament day.
“Every time a boat went by, they started biting because it pushed the bait around,” he said. “So that taught me that boat traffic didn’t bother them.”
Hailing from Middletown, Conn., Wetherell finished second with 56-13. After leading the field into Day 3, he struggled to maintain the momentum that delivered bags of 20-11 and 24-14 the first two rounds. On Saturday, he managed a limit of just 11-4.
Returning to the offshore grass he’d fished since Day 1, Wetherell looked for the healthiest vegetation he could find. He caught his bass on a 3/4-ounce white Z-Man JackHammer ChatterBait with a 4-inch Lunker City Swimming Ribster swimbait and a Carolina-rigged 7-inch green pumpkin Senko.
“I’d fish fast with the ChatterBait and then slow down with the Senko to pick apart the better areas,” Wetherell said. “Keith (Tuma) and I were fishing the same area yesterday and he was a real class act and stayed off the section I was fishing.
“Yesterday was just an incredible day and I got the bites again today; they just wouldn’t commit to it.”
Day 1 leader Patrick Walters of Summerville, S.C., finished in third place with 55-14. After leading Day 1 with 24 pounds, he caught 13-5 on Day 2 and slipped to third. He finished strong with a limit of 18-9 Saturday.
Relying on forward-facing sonar to monitor bait and fish movement, Walters started on the shallow grass he’d fished the first two days. A slow morning prompted him to shift gears and punch matted cover.
“This morning I got kinda bored with that spot, so I made a long run to Lake Apopka because I just wanted to have fun and go fishing,” Walters said. “At 12 o’clock, I had a small limit, with two of the fish I weighed in and I said, ‘Let’s turn that Garmin back on and go do some fishing.’
“I stopped in the canal (exiting Lake Apopka) and caught one really quick and ran back to Little Lake Harris at 12:45. I went back to a spot where I’d caught them the first day and, on my third cast, I caught my biggest fish of the day. So, I probably made a mistake and didn’t stay.”
Walters caught his punching fish on a Zoom Z-Craw Jr. (black/blue and green pumpkin) Texas-rigged with a 1- and a 1 1/2-ounce weight. The shallow grass fish bit a Zoom Fluke Stick and a Zoom Zlinky — both Texas- and Wacky-rigged.
Charles Proctor of Conway, S.C., won the $750 Phoenix Boats Big Bass award for a 9-0 largemouth.
This year’s Opens circuit includes three divisions — Southern, Central and Northern — with three events in each. All nine tournament winners will earn an automatic berth to the 2022 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk if they fish all events in their division. Additionally, the Top 3 finishers from each division’s points standings will receive an invitation to fish the 2022 Bassmaster Elite Series, as will the Top 3 from the overall standings accumulated in all three divisions.
With this week’s victory, Tuma took the early lead in the Falcon Rods Bassmaster Opens Angler of the Year race. The winner of that award, which is based on points accumulated in all three divisions, will earn a $10,000 prize. The winner in the co-angler division will earn paid entry fees into the Opens division of his or her choice — a value of approximately $5,400.

Carson-Newman Leads Bassmaster College Series At Lake Hartwell

ANDERSON, S.C. — Thanks to a morning flurry, the Carson-Newman University duo of Aidan England and Braden Perry caught five bass that weighed 18 pounds, 11 ounces to lead Day 1 of the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series at Lake Hartwell presented by Bass Pro Shops.
England and Perry hold an 11-ounce lead over the second-place team of Nate Lesch and Will Schibig from Tennessee Tech. The Carson-Newman team of Ben Cully and Hayden Gaddis placed third with 17-13.
Throughout their college careers, England and Perry have learned where spotted bass like to group up during the early prespawn. They have ridden that information to successful finishes across multiple venues, including a second-place showing at Smith Lake in Alabama during the 2019 season.
“This is our junior year. We found over the last three years at every spotted bass lake we’ve been to, all these spots like to load up on one area this time of the year,” Perry said. “They are all feeding up and getting ready to go drop their eggs off. They like to load into one area and we milked one area for what it is worth and we are going to do the same tomorrow.”
Coming off their worst day of practice and drawing a later flight, England expected the bite to be tough. But when they arrived at their spot, it only took Perry and England about 20 minutes to land a limit.
While they caught predominantly spotted bass, two largemouth also made the trip with them back to the weigh-in at Green Pond Landing.
“We really didn’t know what we were sitting on and hopefully there are still some sitting down there tomorrow,” England said.
After highs in the upper 60s on Day 1, a cooldown is expected for Saturday’s final round. England said he isn’t sure what that will do to their bite.
“With conditions changing, you never know what is going to happen, and I think the high tomorrow will be in the upper 50s,” Perry said. “It's not going to get nearly as hot as it did today. I think we are just going to go back to the same area and try to fill our limit and see how it goes from there.
“If we don’t have some big bites in the first few hours, we may run and scramble. We know there are some big ones there.”
Lesch actually fished by himself on Day 1 while Schibig interviewed for a job. Lesch managed five largemouth that lifted him into second place in his first Bassmaster College Series event.
“I still can’t really process (being at the top of the leaderboard),” Lesch said. “Over the summer I bought my own boat and it’s all coming together in a way I could have never hoped for.”
Building on what he found in practice, Lesch focused on shallow areas with moving baits.
“I had no idea what to expect. We found a lot of really good spots, but we didn’t know what the creeks were going to look like. The first creek I went to there were three people,” he said. “There is a ton of pressure right now. I went really far up the lake and found a really good pattern.”
After a consistent practice, Cully and Gaddis made about a 15-minute run up the Tugaloo River to start the morning and filled their limit quickly. A 4-8 largemouth anchored their bag and kicked off an important morning flurry.
“We got on one little stretch of bank and we caught three big ones back to back to back,” Gaddis said. “It was a grind after that. We pulled into another area and I lost a key fish that would have put us well over what we had today.”
Mechanical issues shortened their day, but Gaddis said he expects the fishing will continue to heat up.
“I thought people were going to catch them this week and I still believe they are,” he said. “Things are fixing to get right.”
The team of Brady Harp and Jordan McCaleb currently hold the lead for Carhartt Big Bass of the tournament with a 6-7 largemouth.
The full field will compete Saturday for a chance to not only win the tournament, but also earn a spot in the 2021 College Series National Championship. Teams will launch from Green Pond Landing at 6:45 a.m. ET Saturday, with weigh-in set for 2:45 p.m.

Drury University Wins 2021 Abu Garcia College Fishing National Championship
GROVE, Okla. (March 5, 2021) – The Drury University duo of Cole Breeden of Eldridge, Missouri and Cameron Smith of Nixa, Missouri, weighed a five-bass limit Friday totaling 14 pounds, 10 ounces to win the 2021 Abu Garcia College Fishing presented by YETI National Championship presented by Lowrance at Grand Lake . This is the first national title for Drury, who had two teams in the top five, and earned the team a $33,500 prize package, including a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard and automatic entry into the 2021 Toyota Series Championship to compete as pros for a shot to win up to $235,000.
After leading on Day One, then dropping to third place on Day Two, the Panther duo’s three-day total of 15 bass weighing 41-10 gave them the win by a 1-pound, 5-ounce margin. Zackary Martin and Harbor Lovin from Murray State University finished second with 15 bass weighing 40-5.
“This has been an awesome week,” said Smith. “At the beginning of the week, we planned to just get a limit each of the first few days and to keep to ourselves and stay in contention. We didn’t realize at the time that what we were catching would keep us in contention for the win.”
Breeden said Grand Lake was a lot like one of their home lakes, Lake of the Ozarks, but the fish seemed to be in an atypical position for this time of year.
“If we were on Lake of the Ozarks right now, we would be fishing secondary points pretty much all day, but this week we found them up shallow,” said Smith. “We think it had something to do with the sunny, warm days earlier this week, warming up the water and making the fish up by the bank a little more active than the ones out deep.”
The duo said they spent most of the week throwing jerkbaits in the pockets in the back of creeks but the Jackall Rerange Jerkbait was key and definitely reeled in the most fish.
“We found ourselves even farther back in pockets on the final day,” Smith said. “The wind was blowing that direction, which moved the shad and baitfish even farther back. We looked for pockets that had steeper bank on them then dropped off – the fish were hanging right on that edge – so we dropped the jerkbait on top of the ledge, then worked it down. They followed it out and we could see them eat the bait on the livescope about half-way back to the boat.”
“Areas were a big thing for us – just finding the right depth in a pocket with the perfect kind of ledge on it was key,” said Breeden.
On taking home the win, the duo said they couldn’t be happier and knew their coach and school would definitely be proud.
“I’ve got to be honest, the only thing keeping me from passing out during the weigh-in was that seat holding me up – It was a nail-biter,” laughed Smith. “It just means so much – watching our team at Drury grow is amazing. Having the opportunity to fish on Championship Friday alone is amazing, let alone two teams making it into the top five and one of us taking home the win – we couldn’t be more excited.”
The top 10 teams on Grand Lake finished:
1st: Drury University – Cole Breeden, Eldridge, Mo., and Cameron Smith, Nixa, Mo., 15 bass, 41-10
2nd: Murray State University – Zachary Martin, Murray, Ky., and Harbor Lovin, Fayetteville, Ohio, 15 bass, 40-5
3rd: Josh Kelly, Cortland, Ohio, 15 bass, 39-3
4th: Drury University – Grant Harris, Springfield, Mo., and Beau Browning, Hot Springs, Ark., 15 bass, 36-7
5th: Zachary Potter, Haddon Township, N.J. and Alex Johnson, Milltown, N.J., 13 bass, 35-0
6th: Murray State University – Blake Albertson, Bloomington, Ind., and Luke Ripple, Mount Vernon, Ind., 15 bass, 33-9
7th: McKendree University – Trey Schroeder, Crestwood, Mo., and Tyler Christy, Bolingbrook, Ill., 12 bass, 33-1
8th: Justin Luetkemeyer and Josh Luetkemeyer, both of Chesterfield, Mo., 13 bass, 31-0
9th: University of Montevallo – Grayson Morris, Birmingham, Ala., and Jacob Pfundt, Ball Ground, Ga., 12 bass, 27-6
10th: Adrian College – Gunner Wilson, Fenton, Mich., and Zach Manneback, Hartland, Mich., 11 bass, 25-10

Wetherell Stays Offshore To Take Lead At Bassmaster Open On Harris Chain

LEESBURG, Fla. — Alex Wetherell of Middletown, Conn., turned in a dominant performance during Friday’s second round of the Basspro.com Bassmaster Southern Open on the Harris Chain of Lakes with a five-bass limit that weighed 24 pounds, 14 ounces.
Added to his Thursday catch of 20-11, Wetherell now leads the event with a two-day total of 45-9.
Although he’s fished the Harris Chain only once before, Wetherell said he has figured out a couple of key details about Sunshine State bass.
“I’ve learned how to understand the grass and distinguish what I’m looking for,” he said. “I’m targeting offshore grass and there’s a lot of it out there. But just because you mark grass doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good.
“I found areas in practice and I’m expanding on those areas and really dialing in the sweet spots. It just seems that certain clumps of grass have fish and others don’t.”
Stating that the crisper, cleaner grass was best, Wetherell said he covered water until he got bit and then explored the spot to determine its potential.
“Once I get a bite, I’ll sit on that spot and work it very meticulously,” he said. “I’m using two particular baits — one to locate a (productive) area and one to fish it slowly.
“It’s really efficiency based. I want to be able to work a bait through the grass without getting hung up too much to where I’m not efficient in my cast.”
Similar to bed fishing, Wetherell found it beneficial to hit his key areas from multiple angles. In some instances, repetition was his ally.
“It’s amazing because you’ll make the same cast 15 times and then all of a sudden you’ll get bit,” he said. “I caught an 8-pounder pretty early in the morning and then I caught a 6.
“I had this bag and I lost (an estimated 7-pounder) so it was a pretty unbelievable day. I was done by noon and then I was just scanning around for other spots.”
Wetherell started in Lake Harris and then moved to Lake Dora after the first hour. His better bites came from Dora.
Jacob Foutz of Charleston, Tenn., leveraged a lucky break and fished his way into second place with 38-9. After catching 15 pounds on Day 1, Foutz added 23-9 Friday.
“Fortunately, they came up schooling around me and they were all big ones,” Foutz said. “It’s just one of those things that happens every couple of years.
“I caught three big ones and jumped off two other really big ones, so I could have had a really big day.”
Fishing in Lake Dora, Foutz watched the subsurface activity on his Garmin Panoptix LiveScope and caught his fish on a gizzard shad-colored jerkbait and a Texas-rigged Zoom Magnum Trick Worm in the red shad color.
Day 1 leader Patrick Walters of Summerville, S.C., is in third place with 37-5. The Bassmaster Elite Series pro held the top spot after Thursday’s opening round with 24 pounds, but he managed only 13-5 Friday.
“Today was the second day after a (cold) front and it was really slick and calm, so they didn’t bite as well,” Walters said. “Also, we had some muddy water and I didn’t relocate them until (late in the day).
“At 4:30, I moved farther into the little cove I was fishing and caught five fish in a row and saw more swimming by. I caught a good bag on Day 1 and I knew I couldn’t do that again unless something magic happened.”
Charles Proctor of Conway, S.C., is in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with his 9-0 largemouth.
Paul Gelles of Pingree, Idaho, won the co-angler division with a two-day total of 21-2. Gelles placed 14th on Day 1 with 10-13 and added 10-5 Friday to claim the victory. Charles Crumpton of Ocklawaha, Fla., won the Phoenix Boats Big Bass competition among co-anglers with a 9-1 largemouth.
The Top 10 anglers in the boater division will take off at 6:45 a.m. ET Saturday from Venetian Gardens (Ski Beach). The weigh-in will be held at Bass Pro Shops in Orlando at 4 p.m.
This year’s Opens circuit includes three divisions — Southern, Central and Northern — with three events in each. All nine tournament winners will earn an automatic berth to the 2022 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk if they fish all events in their division. Additionally, the Top 3 finishers from each division’s points standings will receive an invitation to fish the 2022 Bassmaster Elite Series, as will the Top 3 from the overall standings accumulated in all three divisions.
The Falcon Rods Bassmaster Opens Angler of the Year title will award a $10,000 prize to the overall points winner in the boater division. The top co-angler will have entry fees into the Opens division of his or her choice fully paid for a value of approximately $5,400.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — An estimated 45.9 million Americans play fantasy sports. But how many of those players ever have the opportunity to meet their league-winning team?
When Joshua Phillips of Knoxville, Tenn., began playing Rapala Bassmaster Fantasy Fishing in 2020, he never imagined that he would close out the year as Fantasy Fishing Champion — besting nearly 37,500 other players — or that he would spend a weekend among the world’s best anglers at the Guaranteed Rate Bassmaster Elite at Tennessee River.
“It is crazy knowing I beat so many people in my first season,” said Phillips. “It is an honor and I can say forever that I won Bassmaster Fantasy Fishing in the crazy year of 2020.”
While he has mastered competitive prognostication, the weekend provided Phillips with an opportunity to delve behind-the-scenes of an actual Elite Series event. On Days 2 and 3 of the tournament, Phillips spent time with the contenders before launch, joined a media boat on the water to track the action and even traded Fantasy Fishing tips with B.A.S.S. CEO Bruce Akin. While being interviewed on Bassmaster LIVE, Phillips engaged in some good-natured trash talk with Fantasy Fishing guru and Inside Bassmaster LIVE host Ronnie Moore. All of this before being recognized in front of a crowd of enthusiastic fans during weigh-in on Semifinal Saturday.
The most rewarding part of his experience was spending time with his favorite anglers and the pros who helped Phillips secure the 2020 Bassmaster Fantasy Fishing championship.
bass4967.jpg“Meeting everyone, it was a blessing and made me feel like I was a part of the Bassmaster crew,” Phillips said. “It was awesome going out on the boat and watching John Cox and Steve Kennedy (on Championship Sunday).”
In addition to scoring the bragging rights that came with winning the coveted Fantasy Fishing season points championship title, Phillips also won over $20,000 in gift cards, cash and gear.
Like many champs, Phillips is finding it hard to repeat last season’s success, and his Tennessee River roster wasn’t performing up to his high standards.
“I knew I should have picked up (Brandon) Card for my team, but choosing local anglers came back to bite me some last year,” said Phillips. Brandon Card, the former Knoxville-native, ended the tournament in the Top 4. The highest-placing member of Phillips’ Fantasy Fishing roster finished outside the Top 35.
It isn’t too late to get in on the fun and start playing Bassmaster Fantasy Fishing. Players can register at any point during the season and the Top 20 points leaders in every tournament get their share of prizes, including Rapala Touch Screen Scales and culling kit, Rapala Performance Tool Combos, Rapala baits, clothing, gift cards, cash prizes and more.
Participants select their best five-angler team for each Elite Series event and the Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk, then compete against other players to score the highest number of points. Points are awarded based on each angler’s final standings at the end of an Elite Series event, and every event will feature $2,500 in prizes from Rapala.
Registration for the 2021 competition, along with full rules and a description of each prize package, can be found at Bassmaster.com/fantasy.

Early Bite Puts Walters On Top At Bassmaster Southern Open On Harris Chain

Early Bite Puts Walters On Top At Bassmaster Southern Open On Harris Chain
LEESBURG, Fla. — When Patrick Walters happened across a golden opportunity, the Bassmaster Elite Series pro from Summerville, S.C., stepped on the gas and sacked up a five-bass limit of 24 pounds to lead Day 1 of the Basspro.com Bassmaster Southern Open at the Harris Chain of Lakes.
Walters, who opened his 2021 season with a fourth-place finish in the AFTCO Bassmaster Elite at St. Johns River, said he typically approaches Florida events by moving fast in practice to locate productive areas and then slowing down with methodical tournament execution.
Thursday saw him go off script.
“Honestly, sometimes, it’s just fluke luck,” Walters said of his unexpected morning events. “I started throwing a (lipless crankbait) on a spot, and I looked down and saw two of them chasing my bait.
“I said, ‘Okay, maybe there’s some fish here.’ I passed through there, turned around and started whacking them. I probably caught 30 fish there and had my weight by 10 a.m. and then I left.”
Committing his day to Lake Harris, Walters found those morning bass in about 6 feet of water. He attributed the attraction to the right mix of habitat and clarity.
“There’s a little bit of clear water, there’s some hard bottom, there’s some grass; it’s just that good mixture,” he said. “It’s also a little shallower than most people are fishing.”
With a cold front dropping overnight and tournament morning temperatures by about 10 degrees, Walters surmised that Thursday’s postfrontal “bluebird” skies had repositioned the shallow fish. The ones he was catching were postspawn fish that had pushed out from recent bedding areas and staged in a comfortable recuperation area.
“I should have had about 28 pounds (based on the length of the fish), but every single one of them was skinny as a rail,” he said. “I think they just stopped at the first feeding spot.
“The good thing is I caught them pretty well and I didn’t have to burn any of my other water. I didn’t touch any of the stuff I’d found in practice, so I’m going to go back tomorrow and ride this as long as I can.”
Noting that his spot is most productive in the morning, Walters said he caught his bass on a mixture of lipless baits and jerkbaits. Returning in the afternoon, he found a couple more bites that encouraged him to keep that spot in his Day 2 game plan.
“There was some dirtier water that moved in later in the day, so I may go there (on Friday) and not catch another fish, but I pulled in there around 2 and caught a couple more on a Zoom Mag Trick Worm,” he said.
Walters said his productivity belied a lean practice.
“My other spots were similar but a little different,” he said. “Practice was tough, but I thought I could catch a limit in (my spots). It’s a little different type of cover than what I fished today.
“The good thing is I didn’t have to fish those spots today. I had some good flipping bites in practice, but I didn’t get any flipping bites today.”
Scott Gibbs of Rome, Ga., is in second place with 21-5. Making his Harris Chain debut, he crafted a concise game plan of targeting hydrilla and eelgrass in Lake Harris and Little Lake Harris and stuck with it all day.
Gibbs caught his fish slow rolling a reaction bait.
“My plan was to hit some areas where I thought there’d be some good postspawn fish,” Gibbs said. “I had three key areas and I made a little milk run.”
Alex Wetherell of Middletown, Conn., is in third place with 20-11. He looked for shallow bed fish, but when that search came up empty, he moved offshore and used a combination of moving baits and slower presentations to target postspawn bass in deep grass.
“I looked for the thicker stuff, and the cleaner the water, the better,” he said. “Those were the only two good spots I had and I milked them all day. Thankfully, they had some good fish on them.”
Charles Proctor of Conway, S.C., is in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with a 9-0 largemouth.
JW Battle Jr. holds the overall lead in the co-angler division with 13-11, and Jeff Fellows holds the Phoenix Boats Big Bass lead among co-anglers with an 8-8 largemouth. Both anglers are from Orlando.
Besides prize money and a berth in the 2021 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk, the anglers are fishing this week for valuable points that will count toward the Falcon Rods Bassmaster Opens Angler of the Year title. The title, which was won last year by North Carolina pro Bryan New, carries a cash prize of $10,000.
This year’s Opens circuit includes three divisions — Southern, Central and Northern — with three events in each. The Top 3 finishers from each division’s points standings will receive an invitation to fish the 2022 Bassmaster Elite Series, as will the Top 3 from the overall standings accumulated in all three divisions.
Friday’s takeoff is scheduled for 6:45 a.m. ET from Venetian Gardens (Ski Beach). Friday’s weigh-in will be held at the Venetian Gardens (Ski Beach) at 2:45 p.m. Saturday’s final weigh-in will be held at Bass Pro Shops in Orlando at 4 p.m.

New Jersey’s Johnson and Potter Take the Lead at 2021 Abu Garcia College Fishing National Championship
GROVE, Okla. (March 4, 2021) – Zachary Potter of Haddon Township, New Jersey, and Alex Johnson of Milltown, New Jersey, moved into the lead after Day Two of the 2021 Abu Garcia College Fishing presented by YETI National Championship presented by Lowrance at Grand Lake . The duo brought a five-bass limit to the scale Thursday weighing 17 pounds, 14 ounces, bringing them to the top of the leaderboard after starting the day in ninth place. Their two-day total of 29 pounds, 6 ounces gives them a 2-pound, 3-ounce lead over the second-place team from Murray State University – Zachary Martin of Murray, Kentucky, and Harbor Lovin of Fayetteville, Ohio – who brought a limit to the scale weighing 14 pounds, 8 ounces, bringing their total to 27 pounds, 3 ounces.
Fishing down the lake, the New Jersey duo said they have barely caught a limit both days.
“Both days have been a grind – we had five bites on Wednesday and seven bites on Thursday,” said Johnson. “We are fishing slow in one small area and we know it has the right ones in it. We’ve had two bite windows both days – one in the morning and one in the afternoon – so we are just sitting around in the middle of the day, which is a little mentally taxing, but we’re keeping our head in it.”
Johnson said they are fishing a stretch of gravel bank with scattered wood mixed in and have caught fish off both individual targets and the open bank.
The pair, who had never fished on Grand Lake prior to the tournament, said they caught a couple fish on various lures, but most of their damage was done throwing a jerkbait.
“We aren’t getting a ton of bites, so tomorrow might be hit or miss, but we know the right fish are in that area, so if we just keep our head down and work, we should be able to pull it off,” said Johnson. “With so few bites though, it could easily disappear on us.”
“We just have to grind it out tomorrow and hope for the best,” Potter added.
In their final year of college fishing, the anglers said winning the College Fishing National Championship during their senior year would be an amazing end to their journey.
“This is my fourth national championship, and I’ve had a pretty good college career in the qualifiers, but I’ve had a tendency to get my teeth kicked in the national championship,” said Johnson. “I’ve blown a couple chances and I really feel like I need some redemption this week.”
“Alex and I have fished together the past two years and finished the qualifiers this year with three Top 10’s, so we’re hoping to keep the momentum going throughout this event on Grand Lake,” said Potter.
The full field of 150 teams competed on Wednesday and Thursday, with only the top-10 – based on two-day cumulative weight – advancing to Championship Friday. The National Champions will be crowned Friday based on the cumulative three-day weight total.
The top 10 teams that now advance to Championship Friday on Grand Lake are:
1st: Zachary Potter, Haddon Township, N.J. and Alex Johnson, Milltown, N.J., 10 bass, 29-6
2nd: Murray State University – Zachary Martin, Murray, Ky., and Harbor Lovin, Fayetteville, Ohio, 10 bass, 27-3
3rd: Drury University – Cole Breeden, Eldridge, Mo., and Cameron Smith, Nixa, Mo., 10 bass, 27-0
4th: Josh Kelly, Cortland, Ohio, 10 bass, 26-0
5th: Drury University – Grant Harris, Springfield, Mo., and Beau Browning, Hot Springs, Ark., 10 bass, 25-4
6th: University of Montevallo – Grayson Morris, Birmingham, Ala., and Jacob Pfundt, Ball Ground, Ga., 10 bass, 23-0
7th: Murray State University – Blake Albertson, Bloomington, Ind., and Luke Ripple, Mount Vernon, Ind., 10 bass, 22-10
8th: Justin Luetkemeyer and Josh Luetkemeyer, both of Chesterfield, Mo., nine bass, 22-6
9th: McKendree University – Trey Schroeder, Crestwood, Mo., and Tyler Christy, Bolingbrook, Ill., seven bass, 21-8
10th: Adrian College – Gunner Wilson, Fenton, Mich., and Zach Manneback, Hartland, Mich., nine bass, 20-3

Overall, there were 193 bass weighing 439 pounds, 10 ounces caught by 144 teams Thursday. The catch included 17 five-bass limits.
The final 10 teams will launch Championship Friday from Wolf Creek Park, located at 963 N. 16th St. in Grove at 7 a.m. CT. Friday’s championship weigh-in will also be held at the park starting at 3 p.m. and will be livestreamed. Due to COVID-19 protocols, attendance is limited to competing anglers, family, essential staff and media covering the event.

Drury University Grabs Early Lead at 2021 Abu Garcia College Fishing National Championship
GROVE, Okla. (March 3, 2021) – The Drury University duo of Cole Breeden of Eldridge, Missouri and Cameron Smith of Nixa, Missouri, grabbed the early lead Wednesday after Day One of the 2021 Abu Garcia College Fishing presented by YETI National Championship presented by Lowrance at Grand Lake . The Panthers team brought a five-bass limit to the scale weighing 13 pounds, 14 ounces, giving them a mere 2-ounce lead over the second-place solo angler Josh Kelly of Cortland, Ohio.
While many teams struggled to even get a bite on Wednesday due to the recent winter weather in the region, the Drury duo said they were culling early.
“The day started off pretty strong and we had a solid 10- or 11-pound limit by about 8:45,” said Smith, a senior majoring in biology. “We just continued to upgrade gradually throughout the day.”
“We replaced little bass with ones that were just a little bit bigger,” said Breeden, a junior marketing major. “We also had two that were about 3 pounds, so that really helped us.”
Breeden and Smith said they were mostly fishing shallow, but they hadn’t come close to running into one of the 5- or 6-pound tanks that roam Grand Lake.
“We were in an area where there are a lot of fish, so I don’t really think numbers will be a problem,” said Breeden. “We saw a lot of bait fish, but there were just so m any little bass. We’re hoping the warm weather Wednesday and Thursday might spur some of the bigger females to move up.”
“We found a lot of little schools of males up shallow,” said Smith. “They’re grouping together, so we’re waiting for the females to follow suit.”
Though the pair said they hadn’t seen a fish over 3 pounds so far, they said they felt pretty good about their situation, with all things considered, and felt like the event was shaping up well for them, even without a lot of Grand Lake experience.
“Grand Lake is very ‘Ozarks’,” said Breeden. “It’s very similar to Lake of the Ozarks and Table Rock – our home lakes – so we’re just doing the same thing we would do at home.”
The 12th annual College Fishing Championship is a three-day event featuring the top 150 college bass fishing teams from across the nation competing in an internationally televised, no-entry fee tournament for a $33,500 prize package, including a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard.

Both members of the third-place team will advance to the 2021 Toyota Series Championship to compete as co-anglers for a shot at winning a $33,500 Phoenix 518 Pro with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard.
The full field of 150 teams compete on Wednesday and Thursday, with only the top-10 – based on two-day cumulative weight – advancing to Championship Friday. The National Champions will be crowned Friday based on the cumulative three-day weight total.
The top 10 teams after Day One on Grand Lake are:
1st: Drury University – Cole Breeden, Eldridge, Mo., and Cameron Smith, Nixa, Mo., five bass, 13-14
2nd: Josh Kelly, Cortland, Ohio, five bass, 13-12
3rd: Drury University – Grant Harris, Springfield, Mo., and Beau Browning, Hot Springs, Ark., five bass, 13-5
4th: McKendree University – Tyler Christy, Bolingbrook, Ill., and Trey Schroeder, Crestwood, Mo., five bass, 13-4
5th: Murray State University – Zachary Martin, Murray, Ky., and Harbor Lovin, Fayetteville, Ohio, five bass, 12-11
6th: Bryan College – Mason Cizek, Knoxville, Tenn., and Jake Lee, Powell, Tenn., five bass, 12-8
7th: Stephen F. Austin – Hunter Muncrief, Pineland, Texas, and River Lee, Nacogdoches, Texas, four bass, 12-1
8th: Louisiana State University – Jack Thomas, Prairieville, La., and Connor Turner, Albany, La., five bass, 11-9
9th: Zachary Potter, Haddon Township, N.J., and Alex Johnson, Milltown, N.J., five bass, 11-8
10th: Auburn University – Robbie Cruvellier, Alburgh, Vt., and Chase Clarke, Auburn, Ala., four bass, 11-4

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Falcon Rods, which has designed and built specialty rods since 1990, will serve as the title sponsor of the Basspro.com Bassmaster Opens Angler of the Year Award for 2021, B.A.S.S. announced today.
The Falcon Rods Bassmaster Opens Angler of the Year title will award a $10,000 prize to the overall points winner in the pro division. The top co-angler will have entry fees into the Basspro.com Bassmaster Opens division of their choice fully paid for — a value of approximately $5,400.
“The 2020 Bassmaster Opens were among the most competitive we’ve ever seen, with the Angler of the Year title coming down to the very last event,” said B.A.S.S. CEO Bruce Akin. “We are thrilled to have Falcon Rods join us in recognizing the best of the best in both the pro and co-angler divisions. The anglers who came out of last year’s Opens to join the Elite Series have proven that they can compete at the highest level.”
Bryan New of Belmont, N.C., nabbed the 2020 Falcon Rods Bassmaster Opens Angler of the Year title by a single point and has enjoyed a fast start to his Elite Series career, winning the season-opening AFTCO Bassmaster Elite at St. Johns River.
This year’s Opens circuit will include three divisions — Southern, Central and Northern — with three events in each. All nine tournament winners will earn an automatic berth to the 2022 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk if they fish all events in their division. Additionally, the Top 3 finishers from each division’s points standings will receive an invitation to fish the 2022 Bassmaster Elite Series, as will the Top 3 from the overall standings accumulated in all three divisions.
“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with B.A.S.S. and support of the Opens Angler of the Year again this year,” said Chris Beckwith, Falcon Rods Vice President of Marketing. “As we saw last year, not only are the Bassmaster Opens top-notch competition but this series is home to the top pros of the future.”
The 2021 Basspro.com Bassmaster Opens kick off this week with the first Southern Open event on Florida’s renowned Harris Chain of Lakes, March 4-6.

BeatDown Outdoors Partners with Bass Pro Tour Angler James Watson
BeatDown Outdoors has partnered with Bass Pro Tour angler James Watson to help anglers everywhere elevate their experience!
Todd and Blake Price, a father-son duo, founded BeatDown Outdoors in 2020. The idea began after realizing how difficult it was to use live sonar technology with their electronics mounted to the floor of the boat with no adjustability. After exhausting the Internet looking for solutions, their quest began to design a mount that was strong, adjustable and versatile. With good friend Travis Glenn coming on board and pushing the design, ideas quickly went to paper and the machine shop owners got to work creating “the ultimate” and now a full line of electronics mounts with adjustability, tractability and full motion.
Blake Price, co-founder of BeatDown Outdoors states “We are excited to work with James Watson, not only is he a great guy who believes in our product but with him coming on board early in the launch process opens up a whole new market for us with bass anglers.”
James says “I noticed this cool new graph mount at the Crappie Championship on Table Rock back in November. Blake and Travis were kind enough to show me all of the capabilities, mainly how high it could be raised and I was in love. With all the spinning around while chasing bass I do I struggle with neck issues and get seasick often. Now I can raise my Garmin units up to the height of my hips to avoid the motion in the ocean. And when running from point A to point B it stays secure at the normal height so there’s no safety concerns or damage to my units. I have a feeling the Ultimate Shorty will be the most popular mount for bass fishermen.”
James “JMFW WORLDWIDE” Watson is known for his quick wit and knack for jokes on the water. The real-estate mogul has used his success in residential real estate sales to fuel his passion for fishing. As a self-made angler and former United States Army Drill Sergeant he equally enjoys balancing the completion and the business sides of the bass community.
From a BASS Open victory to the Bassmaster Classic and a win at Lake Norris during the FLW Invitational, Watson promotes fishing on a WORLDWIDE level. Additionally, James has qualified for the Forrest Wood Cup and the Texas Toyota Bass Classic during his duration fishing the FLW Tour (now known as Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit), BASS Opens, PAA and Major League Fishing.
He has also competed as a member of the US Bass Team in the Black Bass Championship in 2017 in South Africa and in 2018 in Mexico. Bringing home the gold medal with the team in 2018 and plans to compete at Lake Murray in 2021.
In 2018, he received the Forrest L. Wood Sportsmanship and Community Leadership Award per his involvement in FLW Community Outreach.
He prides himself on his personality, often gaining him media attention, which positively promotes his sponsors. All eyes are watching where James “WORLDWIDE” Watson will go with his professional fishing career.
You can find James fishing Major League Fishing’s Bass Pro Tour as well as attending charity events when it fits his schedule.
Follow along with James and his partnership with BeatDown Outdoors to see all the excitement 2021 will bring:

Teron Prince and Jeff Stubblefield Win the Alabama Bass Trail at Pickwick with 27.79

Florence, Ala February 27, 2021- Pickwick Lake was the first stop of the Alabama Bass Trail North Division. Teams were reporting a tough practice, but it was a much different story on tournament day. Many teams spent the day in the mid-lake and shallow grass areas catching pre-spawn largemouth. The weights were tight, and the competition tough with 19 of the 225 teams weighing in limits over 20 pounds. Teron Prince and Jeff Stubblefield claimed first place and their $10,000 prize when they tipped the scales with 27.79 pounds.
Practice was really tough for Teron and Jeff. Terron said they had “two bites all of practice” but it was a key bite in one area that helped them find their winning bag. They made the decision to return to this area on tournament day. Jeff described this area as a mid-lake “grass flat with hydrilla in 5-7 feet of water about 150 yards off the back.” When they arrived, they realized they weren’t the only team to find these fish because there were 22 other teams fishing in the same area. It took them until 10:00 to find their sweet spot, but once they did, they quickly filled their limit. Teams around them were also catching fish, but Terron said the key for them “was fishing slower and keeping their bait in the grass.” They said, “everyone respected each other, and at times, teams were giving us the thumbs up when we caught a good one.” They spent the entire tournament day fishing this one spot, only cranking the motor to return to weigh in. They caught all their fish on a Zman Jackhammer in Hite’s Hot Craw with a Strike King Rage Menace in Green Pumpkin trailer. They said they felt these fish were in transition and just kept coming to them all day long.”
The Second Pace team of Brad Shelton Eric spent about three weeks practicing for this event but nothing seemed to really be working for them either. They made a 20 minute run west towards the Kroger Island to one particular area they found they felt would holding fish. “This area was kind of a textbook area for traveling fish, a long stretch of grass that is also a transition area.” A dense fog moved into the lake shortly after take-off, and they thought they had the area all to themselves. When the fog lifted, Brad and Eric said, “the smoke screen lifted as well, and they realized there were 19 other teams fishing around them. They said everyone around them was catching fish “but their spot was a very subtle change in depth that seemed to just hold the better size fish.” They caught over 60 fish all day with only one fish under three pounds. At two different points during the day they broke off fish and caught their line and had to hand line the fish in. They stayed in that one spot all day long until it was time to come weigh in and claim second place and $5000.
Ricky Thompson and Mark Jenkins took third place with 26.45 and $4000. Like many other teams they fished the mid-lake area. They fished the north side of the lake around Natchez Trace bridge. For them the bite didn’t really start until around 10:00, and they filled out their limit around noon catching only 11 keepers that were all solid fish. This was Ricky’s first ABT, and he was really excited to see it all start this way. The key bait for them was “Xcalibur XR50 in gold and red. They said if you still have some hold on to them.”

Gustafson Seals Wire-To-Wire Victory In Bassmaster Elite Series Event On Tennessee River
Jeff Gustafson, of Keewatin, Ontario, Canada, has won the 2021 Guaranteed Rate Bassmaster Elite at Tennessee River with a four-day total of 63 pounds.

February 28, 2021
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — While check-in for the Guaranteed Rate Bassmaster Elite at Tennessee River was scheduled for 3 p.m. ET, Jeff Gustafson was waiting in the parking lot behind the World’s Fair Park Performance Lawn by 2.
With his limit of smallmouth filled and potentially treacherous waters ahead, the Keewatin, Ontario, native wanted to make sure he was back in plenty of time.
“I figured it would take a really big bag to catch me,” Gustafson said. “And being 40 miles down the river and with all the logs on the river, there was room for something to happen and I just wanted to get these fish in and get back here.”
Turns out, Gustafson could afford to quit early.
With a 14-pound, 3-ounce limit, the Canadian pro claimed his first career Bassmaster Elite Series victory with a four-day total of 63-0, just over 7 pounds ahead of second-place finisher Steve Kennedy.
With the coveted blue trophy in hand, Gustafson reflected on all of the people who’d helped him reach his lifelong dream of scoring an Elite Series win.
“My dad took me fishing every chance I wanted to go when I was a kid and I just caught the bug for it,” Gustafson said. “This is my whole life doing this stuff. It means everything to me. I think about a lot of people that I did it for, my family and I have a lot of good buddies at home that have the talent to do this and just have a different direction in their lives.
“They all really support me and send me messages all the time, good or bad. I can’t wait to show them all this trophy.”
In a tournament where largemouth played for most of the field, all 20 of Gustafson’s bass were smallmouth, something he didn’t expect heading into the event.
“In my experience on the Tennessee River lakes, if you catch a smallmouth it's sort of a random fluke,” he said. “With the 18-inch size limit, I had no interest in trying to target smallmouth. I knew the fishing would be tough and it is crazy how it works out.
“Some of my good tournaments down here, I’ve had the worst practices. I caught a few in practice and had no idea what was really there until the tournament started.”
His magic spot was around the canal that connects Tellico Lake to Fort Loudoun Reservoir. With current pushing through the canal, Gustafson said the bass were hunkered down around hard bottom and rocks in 18 to 20 feet of water, so much so he couldn’t see them when he scanned the area with his 2D Humminbird sonar.
“There was a lot of bait and then you idle through there and put your Humminbird 360 down, you see all the rock down there and basically it was just a matter of figuring out where they were because they weren’t everywhere,” he said. “I thought it was fairly random, but as the tournament evolved, they were on specific spots. Just hard stuff on the bottom, rocks.
“I’m sure that these fish are hiding behind it. The water is cold. I feel like they don’t love being in the current right now.”
After trying a couple of different baits in the area, Gustafson settled on a Damiki rig, a 3/8-ounce jighead or a 1/2-ounce jighead with a smaller hook paired with a Z-Man ShadZ.
“The shad profile was key. I saw a lot of the fish puking up shad,” he said. “I wouldn’t mark any idling around or until I actually saw them come up to my bait. That was a big deal. The deal was keeping my bait under my transducer on the Ultrex.
“It was important to see it just so you could stay within that foot or two of the bottom, but not be on the bottom, and when the fish would come up to it, sometimes you would have to give it a little shake or lift it a little bit and that was sort of the trigger to bite.”
The weather changed in Knoxville every day and on Championship Sunday, fog delayed the by 90 minutes, giving Gustafson some anxiety.
“The fog thing this morning was fairly stressful. What I did learn over the last few days was the first hour was pretty critical. They are set up and biting better in the morning,” he said. “Before I got my boat in the water, I wasn’t that stressed and that got the anxiety going. Once we got out there and started fishing, I caught two good ones pretty quickly and it took the pressure off.”
Gustafson weeded through as many as 20 nonkeepers and caught his limit late in the morning. After double-checking to see if two of his bass measured over 18 inches, Gustafson made three final drifts before heading back to Knoxville.
Kennedy followed his 20-pound bag from Day 3 with 15-0 on Championship Sunday, claiming second-place with 55-15. The Auburn, Ala., native used a jig and a ChatterBait to catch his bass throughout the week, focusing on staging areas.
“I was dialed for about 25 to 30 minutes (today),” Kennedy said. “It was fun. I wish I had caught my bites. I broke off three this week. I think I could have done it. We would have been right there together.”
With a 14-9 bag of largemouth on the final day, Florida pro John Cox finished third with 52-10. With water falling out of his primary area, Cox fished a shallow bridge and did most of his damage with a Berkley Frittside crankbait.
“I felt my best chance of catching the 3 to 5-pound fish was on the Frittside,” Cox said. “I was getting so many bites. I probably caught at least 20 fish total. It was good. I landed on something kind of special.”
Brock Mosley of Collinsville, Miss., took the event’s Phoenix Boats Big Bass award for his 6-pound, 10 ounce fish on Day 2. Brandon Card of Salisbury, N.C., won $1,000 for the big bass of Day 1 with a 5-9, while Mosley claimed the Day 2 award. Kennedy won the Day 3 award with his 6-5 and Jason Christie of Park Hill, Okla., won the Day 4 award with his 5-5.
Cox took home $3,000 for being the highest-placing entrant in the Toyota Bonus Bucks program, and Christie earned $2,000 for being the second-highest placing entrant.
As part of the Yamaha Power Pay program, Christie also earned $2,500 for being the highest-placing entrant while 13th place finisher Keith Combs of Huntington, Texas, claimed an additional $1,500 for being the second-highest placing entrant.

Dora Canal Delivers Bassmaster Junior Series Win For Kennedy And Johns
Connor Kennedy and Hayden Johns, of the Mulberry High School Junior Bass Club, have won the Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster Junior Series at the Harris Chain of Lakes with 21 pounds, 7 ounces.

February 27, 2021
LEESBURG, Fla. — They had eight lakes and 75,000 acres at their disposal, but Connor Kennedy and Hayden Johns of the Mulberry High School Junior Bass Club needed only a 40-yard stretch to catch a limit of 21 pounds, 7 ounces and win the Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster Junior Series at the Harris Chain of Lakes.
Anchoring their bag with two kickers that went 6-9 and 5-5, the winners took home $704 for their club and earned a berth in the Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster Junior Series National Championship (dates and location to be determined).
Kennedy said he and Johns caught all of their bass in the Dora Canal, which links its namesake lake with Lake Eustis. They caught their fish on blue-tailed Bitter’s Vibe Worms Texas-rigged on 4/0 hooks with 3/16-ounce weights.
“We stayed in one spot all day and fished flowing water,” Kennedy said. “It dipped down and there were logs on the bottom. We’d just throw up current and let our baits drift down until it hit the logs and you’d have to set the hook. A slow presentation worked best.”
Johns said their day-maker arrived after the water had time to settle from a busy morning.
“We caught the 5-5 around 11 and we didn’t have anything for a while, then we got that 6-9 around 12:30,” he said. “There was a lot of boat traffic in the canal (earlier), but after it slowed down, (Kennedy) caught that big fish.”
Dylan Holcomb and Maddox Taunton of the Liberty County Anglers finished second with 17-0.
Mason Grose and Sailor McKinney of the Southern West Virginia Jr. Bassmasters finished third with 16-4.
Kennedy and Johns won the Big Bass award with their 6-9.

Late Kicker Propels Stalvey And Deel To High School Series Win At Harris Chain

February 27, 2021
LEESBURG, Fla. — After an early disappointment, Parker Stalvey and Jacob Deel of the Clay High School Bass Club rebounded with a late-day bonus and caught a five-bass limit of 22 pounds, 12 ounces and won the Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster High School Series at the Harris Chain of Lakes presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors.
Winning by a margin of 3-1, Stalvey and Deel won $1,513 for their club, along with a berth in the Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster High School Series presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors National Championship (TBA).
Spending their day in Lake Griffin, the winners targeted isolated reed patches in about 5 feet and caught six keepers. They caught one on a Z-Man JackHammer ChatterBait with a paddletail trailer, but the majority of their weight came on 3/8- and 1/2-ounce black and blue Medlock jigs with a variety of trailers.
“I think running and gunning was the key for us,” Stalvey said. “We were just going to the fish we found in practice; it was just covering water.”
As Deel explained, some of the bed fish they had found in practice had already been caught by the time they reached their spots. However, fate would balance their opportunity with a 7-12 — at 1:27 p.m.
“Some people happened to stick the fish we had yesterday (in practice) and that kind of put us in a bad spot, but we were able to come through today,” Deel said.
“It was kind of stressful at first. We had a trolling motor that didn’t (fully) charge last night. But we got lucky today; God shined on us and thank Him for that.”
Nathan Reynolds and Jimmy Oguin of the Backwoods Bassin Club finished second with 19-11. Their bag included Reynolds’ personal best — a 9-2 that won the $100 Big Bass award.
“I’m glad I caught that one today and not in practice,” Reynolds said.
The Backwoods Bassin anglers were fishing main-lake hydrilla beds where they threw a Texas-rigged Strike King Kut-R Worm. Junebug and green pumpkin/blue colors were most productive.
While the Harris Chain currently finds some fish in spawning mode, Reynolds and Oguin employed more of an intercept strategy.
“We weren’t really targeting bed fish; I think the ones we were catching were in the transition; coming in and out from going up shallow to bed,” Olguin said. “They were all good fish. We’ve been on good fish all week and it finally paid off.”
Oguin said execution was essential to his team’s success. Taking time on the presentations and exercising extreme patience on the hook sets determined the outcomes of each opportunity.
“You really had to let them eat it,” Oguin said. “We probably missed 10 fish today because we’d set the hook too early. One of the times, (Reynolds) literally opened his bail and let the fish take off and he still missed it.”
Bryce Balentine and Carson Russell of the Central Florida Youth Anglers finished third with 19-2.

Gustafson Increases Lead At Bassmaster Elite Series Event On Tennessee River

February 27, 2021
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — With a five-bass limit that weighed 15 pounds, 5 ounces on Saturday, Jeff Gustafson held onto the lead for the third straight day in the Guaranteed Rate Bassmaster Elite at Tennessee River.
The Canadian pro has a three-day total of 48-13, potentially setting himself up for his first career Elite Series victory.
Gustafson holds just nearly an 8-pound advantage over Alabama pro Steve Kennedy, who rebounded on Day 3 with a 20-14 bag of largemouth that lifted him from 19th to 2nd place with a three-day total of 40-15.
Unlike the previous day where he suffered through a couple of lulls and struggled to land his fifth keeper, Gustafson caught fish most of the day Saturday, filling his limit of 18-inch smallmouth within the first hour.
“I went right back to my best spot where I caught all my fish yesterday, and it took about 40 minutes to get my limit and yesterday it took me all day,” he said. “The 18-inch thing is tough. I caught a lot of 17-inchers today. I threw a 13-pound bag of those back. You have to get the right ones.”
Using the same technique as the previous two days, the Keewatin, Ontario, native expanded his area and caught quality fish, culling twice around midday. He added that he felt a few more bass have moved into his “juice” spot.
“With all the current happening, those fish are moving around and hopefully there will be a little batch of them tomorrow,” he said. “I’ve had a couple of those little flurries and it happens quick. Hopefully it happens again tomorrow.”
During the afternoon, Gustafson said he made a couple of big drifts searching for more bass, catching one or two occasionally but never going back over his best spot. With dams along the Tennessee River open to account for the heavy rain pushing through the area, the current in Gustafson’s spot has ratcheted up and he isn’t sure exactly how that will affect his bite.
If he is able to pull off the wire-to-wire victory, he will become just the second Canadian angler to win a Bassmaster Elite Series event. The first was Chris Johnston, who claimed his first title on the St. Lawrence River in 2020.
“I’m very confident there are five there for me, I just have to catch them,” Gustafson said. “I’m in a good spot and have a good program going and I just have to do my job tomorrow. I’m going to have three spinning rods on the deck and that’s going to be how it goes.”
After catching just two bass Friday, Kennedy recovered in a big way Saturday with the biggest bag of the tournament.
The jig he was throwing on Day 1 failed to produce on the second or third days, so Kennedy switched techniques on Saturday and found the big bites he needed to jump into the cut. He is fishing for bass migrating into prespawn areas.
“Yesterday was 45 and raining and I didn’t feel like they would be up there shallow, but everyone caught them and so I had to figure out how to catch them,” Kennedy said. “They called me on (Bassmaster) LIVE after I caught a 4-pounder. I went around the curve and caught a 4-pounder.”
As he was ready to make a move, the Bassmaster LIVE crew called Kennedy via Skype again — and again, the call proved to be a good-luck charm.
“I was ready to leave. It took forever to talk to them,” he said. “So, I went around the corner and there was one tree that I had run the boat over top of that I didn’t get a good cast to. I was talking to them and made one cast and caught that huge fish on Live.
“I kept wondering when they were going to call me again.”
The 6-5 largemouth earned the Auburn, Ala., native the Phoenix Boats Big Bass of the day and clued Kennedy in to the type of water he needed to be fishing. He culled several more times to reach the 20-pound mark, the first angler to do so in this event.
“They are moving obviously,” he said. “The main river is 47 degrees, the creeks are 52 or 53. They are wanting to move in but the water dropped. Some were coming in and some were coming out. I don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow.”
Floridian John Cox caught 14-3 to jump from fifth to third heading into the final day with a three-day total of 38-1. Cox caught two fish earlier in the day when the water temperature was still low, each of which was barely hooked.
“It fell to that 51, 52 range and I haven’t been catching anything on that Berkley Frittside until about 53 degrees. So, I kind of started off and I could feel it bump fish and every once in a while one would swat at it. The first one I caught, one little bit of the hook got him.
“I lost a really good one and then I came back an hour later to where I lost that good one and hooked it again. They weren’t eating. Once that water temperature rose to about 53, I caught the rest of my keepers.”
The water temperature has been key for Cox, who has had very little success with temperatures below 53 degrees.
“(Today) I knew the water was going to be kind of cold, but I didn’t know how cold,” he said. “It’s just so dead until the temperatures start rising and then they start swimming into the area.
“The crappie are coming in, the bass are coming in. It’s really cool to watch them come in there.”
The Frittside has been the bait of choice for Cox, an angler who historically hasn’t thrown crankbaits, after he realized every fish he weighed-in on Day 1 came on the bait.
“A lot of them weren’t hooked good. They would swat at it and I would get them,” he said. “I ruled out the ChatterBait and everything that they had to actually take.”
The Top 10 anglers will compete for $100,000 on Championship Sunday starting at 7 a.m. ET from Volunteer Landing. Anglers will check in at 3 p.m. and weigh-in shortly after at World’s Fair Park Performance Lawn.
Live coverage of the event can be streamed on Bassmaster.com and the FOX Sports digital platforms. FS1 will also broadcast live from the tournament beginning at 8 a.m. tomorrow.

Lake of the Ozarks Readies to Host Toyota Series Event
OSAGE BEACH, Mo. (Feb. 27, 2021) – The Toyota Series presented by A.R.E. Plains Division will kick off its 2021 season with a tournament next week in Osage Beach, Missouri, March 4-6, with the Toyota Series presented by A.R.E. at Lake of the Ozarks presented by Fenwick . Hosted by the Tri-County Lodging Association, the three-day tournament will feature the region’s best bass-fishing pros and Strike King co-anglers casting for a top prize of up to $65,000, plus an additional $35,000 bonus if the winner is a qualified Phoenix Boat owner.
Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit pro Casey Scanlon of Eldon, Missouri, guides on Lake of the Ozarks and said he believes we could be headed toward an event with epic weights.
“The first week of March is a little iffy weatherwise – you don’t know if you’re gonna see the lake really show out,” Scanlon said. “But, we’ve had a pretty mild winter, and they’ve been chewing, so I would think we’re gonna see a pretty good tournament.”
With water temps expected to be in the 40’s, Scanlon said he thinks the whole lake will play for a winter or prespawn bite.
“We’ll be in a winter or prespawn mode,” Scanlon said. “Fish will be staging up, but still a month off from really making a hard push. So, you’re talking umbrella rigs, jerkbaits, crankbaits and spinnerbaits. There will be fish caught extremely shallow, and fish deep on the bottom and suspended. The lake has been fishing pretty diverse – better than it has in a while, so I’m thinking it will be a really fun event.”
Historically, in fall events on Lake of the Ozarks, anglers have ranged far and wide over the lake, with winning bags coming from way up the river to right near takeoff. Scanlon said he expects that to be the case this time as well, but anticipates the docks will be less important than they are in the fall.
“The fish are going to be, in general, more bank-related as opposed to dock-related,” Scanlon said. “We’ve been there a lot in the fall, where guys are fishing deep around those boat docks – and I’m not saying it’s not going to play – but normally it’s a more visible cover. Brushpiles and things like that are definitely going to play, but you’re going to see more guys fishing behind docks, targeting laydowns and doing typical prespawn stuff.
Anglers will take off daily at 7 a.m. CT from Public Beach No. 2 in Osage Beach. Weigh-ins will also be held at the park and will begin at 3 p.m. Attendance is limited to competing anglers and essential staff only. Fans are encouraged to follow the event online through the “MLF Live” weigh-in broadcasts and daily coverage at MajorLeagueFishing.com.
In Toyota Series regular-season competition, payouts are based on the number of participants competing in the event, scaling up for every 20 boats over 160 and scaling down for every boat below 160. With a 160-boat field, pros fish for a top prize of $40,000, plus an extra $35,000 if Phoenix MLF BIG5 Bonus qualified. Strike King co-anglers cast for the top prize of a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard (valued at $33,500). With a 260-boat field, pros fish for a top award of $65,000, plus an extra $35,000 if Phoenix MLF BIG5 Bonus qualified. Strike King co-anglers cast for the top prize of a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower outboard (valued at $33,500) plus $5,000 cash.
The 2021 Toyota Series presented by A.R.E. consists of six divisions – Central, Northern, Plains, Southern, Southwestern and Western – each holding three regular-season events, along with the International division. Anglers who finish in the top 25 from each division, along with tournament winners and the top 12 from the new Wild Card Division, will qualify for the no-entry-fee Toyota Series presented by A.R.E. Championship for a shot at winning $235,000 cash, including a $35,000 Phoenix MLF BIG5 Bonus for qualified anglers. The winning Strike King co-angler at the championship earns a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard. The 2021 Toyota Series Championship presented by A.R.E. will be held Oct. 28-30 on Pickwick Lake in Counce, Tennessee, and is hosted by the Hardin County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
