Today marked the beginning of the (CATT) spring season, on Smith Mountain Lake. With over 45 boats looking to land the biggest catch, the atmosphere was as intense as their determination.
Despite Smith Mountain Lake being renowned for its bass population, the lake did not give up its prizes willingly this time.
In the midst of the growing tension of the final weigh-ins and with the spectators holding on to each gasp of excitement, the winners were the father-son team of Jeff and Clay Ross. Their triumph came amidst challenging conditions, further amplifying their achievement.
