Learn How to Catch More Bass in November!

In November, bass are heavily focused on feeding up for winter, making soft plastic swimbaits a great option. Anglers should use smaller swimbaits to imitate the baitfish that bass are chasing. These baits work well in open water and along structure but should be avoided in areas with vegetation or heavy cover to prevent snagging. Adjust your retrieve speed based on the bass’s activity, and as the water cools, consider adding an underspin or selecting soft plastics with additional flash or movement to entice bites. Options like lizards or insect larva soft plastics can also be effective when fished in open areas, providing a natural profile that mimics bass forage. Experimenting with different colors and sizes can also help you dial in the most effective presentation for the day’s conditions. On brighter, sunnier days, opt for natural and translucent colors, while on cloudy or overcast days, choose darker or solid bait color designs for better visibility. Using a steady retrieve often works, but don’t hesitate to mix in pauses or twitches to make the bait appear more lifelike. In clearer water, a subtle presentation is often best, but in murky water, adding vibration can make a huge difference.The new FreshBaitz Lizards deliver a realistic profile that excels in both power and finesse techniques. Act fact, we just released new Hot Sauce, MidNight, Ghost and 10w30 Syntheic Lizard designs! The unique forward-facing leg design creates drag that holds it in the strike zone longer or produces wild flapping action with every pull of the rod. Additionally, its slightly ribbed solid body and large head hold your hook in place and provide much better weedless performance making it the ideal bait to use in any condition. Water clarity always plays a super big role in color selection but in any season year-round, you can’t miss when using colors such as Watermelon Red, Black & Blue, or Green Pumpkin. Its flexible tail design ensures added movement, tempting even the most cautious fish. The superior 5.5-inch profile stretches to a whole 7 inches which is perfect for predatory fish including bass year round. Made from long-lasting durable high-grade non-salted plastic for total and maximum attention-grabbing action underwater.
As bass transition from fall to winter, they shift locations and are often found around main lake points, humps, ledges, and steep drop-offs. These spots act as natural staging areas where fish can feed and prepare for the colder months. Target these locations by varying the depth of your presentation and matching the forage found in the area. Use soft plastics, like cray-styled baits and worms, that can be fished at various depths, allowing you to cover the entire water column. Fishing these structures effectively involves observing how the bass are behaving and adjusting your techniques accordingly, whether it’s slowing down your retrieve or letting your bait flutter naturally. Pay close attention to your electronics to identify changes in depth and the presence of baitfish, which can indicate where bass are holding. On warmer, sunny days, bass may move up shallower on points and ledges, while colder conditions will push them deeper. When fishing deeper areas, try using a slower, more methodical approach to keep your bait near the bottom and in the strike zone longer. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different types of soft plastics, as bass can be selective.We use our Fresh Scorpion because it closely imitates a crawfish. Our newest 10w30 Synthetic, Slimer Green, and Barbie Pink Scorpion colors work wonders. The Scorpion is a revolutionary new look to soft plastics. Its intricate detailing and texture mimic the nuances of a real crawfish, making it hard for bass to resist. Of course, water clarity always plays a role in color selection but in any season, you can’t miss using colors such as Green Pumpkin SeedBrown BarkMagneto. This bait not only appears natural to fish but gives them something to become curious about. The Scorpion paired with a stand-up jig is deadly because the jig actually sits the bait upright in a defensive stance. The subtle color variations across the bait further enhance its appeal, mimicking the natural color shifts found in live prey. Each Fresh Scorpion has a unique and exclusive 3-axis tail design that is engineered like no other soft plastic bait. Our Scorpions are made by anglers from high-grade non-salt plastic to provide superior life-like action-triggering strikes!
When baitfish school up in the fall season, mimicking their movements with an Alabama rig can be very productive. The rig, outfitted with smaller swimbaits or other soft plastic options, creates the illusion of a baitfish school, drawing in hungry bass. Focus on areas where baitfish are present, as identified by your electronics, and fish the rig along structural features where bass are likely to ambush prey. Adjust the size and weight of your soft plastics to ensure the rig gets to the appropriate depth, and be prepared to experiment to find what works best. Always check local regulations, as some states limit the number of hooks you can use on an Alabama rig, ensure your setup adheres to these rules by modifying accordingly. In clearer water, opt for more natural and subtle colors to better imitate real baitfish, while in stained or murky water, brighter colors or baits with added flash can be more effective. When casting the rig, vary your retrieve speed and consider adding short pauses to make the baits look more lifelike and erratic. Pay attention to the way bass are reacting to your presentation, and adjust as needed. Slower retrieve can work while other times a faster approach for strikes.Our Fresh HellaMite is designed to imitate a major aquatic food source, delivering a realistic profile of an insect larva that fish can’t resist. Scented for complete and total attraction underwater along with being made in the USA by real fishermen just like you. Grab our newest Lil Bass, Hot Sauce, MidNight, Glow, 10w30 Synthetic, Slimer Green, and Barbie Pink HellaMite colors. Act quickly, these new colors won’t stay in stock for long. We also recently restocked our Ghost, Red Bug, Purple Rain, Brown Bug, Electric Chicken, and Goby Wan colors. The HellaMite’s solid body and hyperactive ribbed tail design produce a life-like quivering action with every twitch of the rod. Iits unique flat underbelly detail enables this bait to be fished as a drop shot, Ned rig, neko rig, and even a small Carolina-rig, making it the ideal bait in any condition year-round. When the water is clear, the fish can see the bait and look like real food, causing strikes. Each cast becomes an opportunity for an exhilarating catch, thanks to its superior performance and versatility.
It’s crucial for anglers to be familiar with state regulations when fishing with multi-hook rigs, like the Alabama rig. Some states have restrictions on the number of baits that can have hooks, so it’s important to know and comply with all of these guidelines. Manufacturers offer various versions of rigs that are adjustable, allowing you to swap out baits or leave some without hooks. You can still present a convincing baitfish imitation while staying within legal limits. Always double check your setup before heading out to ensure you’re using a compliant rig, and keep spare hookless baits or soft plastics like beetles or worms to adjust as needed. Understanding these rules can help avoid fines or penalties, which can be costly and frustrating. Familiarize yourself with any additional regulations that may apply, such as the specific hook size restrictions or bait type limitations in certain bodies of water. It’s also a good idea for anglers to keep a copy of the local fishing regulations or have an app that provides up-to-date information on hand for quick reference. It’s important for anglers to understand the rules to ensure you stay compliant and also promotes responsible and ethical fishing practices.Our Fresh Beetle delivers ultimate versatility in a soft plastic bait. Its slim yet wide body design and four claws are engineered to naturally glide and wobble as it moves through the water. This design ensures they remain enticingly active longer than conventional baits. Its unique texture also provides a realistic feel, making bass hold on longer once they bite. Water clarity plays a big role in color selection but year-round you can’t miss when using go-to colors such as Chocolate MintOx Blood, or 10w30 Synthetic beetles. The hyper-active swimming claws are designed thin with long-lasting durable non-salt plastic to make them come alive with the slightest movement. The Fresh Beetle offers an enticing 4-inch profile and is scented for complete and total attraction! You can rig these Beetles as a Jig/ Chatter Trailer, Flippin/ Punching, Texas Rig, Swing Jig, and Carolina Rig. Making the beetle beyond perfect in any weather condition year-round!
Crankbaits are essential for imitating baitfish in November, but incorporating soft plastics into your approach can also yield great results. Use crankbaits to cover different depths effectively, from shallow riprap areas to deeper ledges. For areas where bass are aggressively feeding near the surface, choose vibrating baits or opt for soft plastics like beetles and worms that can be worked slowly through shallow water. As you move deeper, try using lizards or cray-styled baits rigged on weighted heads to achieve the desired depth. The key is to match the baitfish color and size while varying your retrieve to trigger more strikes. Consider using crankbaits with different bill sizes to adjust how deep they dive, ensuring you can cover a range of depths efficiently. When fishing around rocks or other hard structure, allow your crankbait to deflect off surfaces to create an erratic action that can provoke reaction strikes from nearby bass. With soft plastics, experiment with both a steady retrieve and a stop-and-go motion to mimic injured or distressed prey. Using scent or attractant on your soft plastics can also give you an edge, especially in colder water when bass are less active.Using a stick-styled worm is the most tried and true ways to catch fish. We have a variety of 5-inch Worms to choose from but we just added new MidNight, Glow, and Ghost Worms! Our popular Wild Cherry Worms have been restocked as well. You can also experience our new wacky rigging kit while it’s ON SALE! The WACKY Pack offers our most popular colors and essential tools for wacky rigging. If you’re fast enough you might be able to grab the limited-release Pumpkin Spice Worm before it’s completely sold out along with some of our newest colors including the Brown WormElectic Chicken Worm, and Goby Wan Worm colors. The high-grade non-salt plastic they’re made from provides positive buoyancy and it even floats underwater! We also released new 6-inch Worms including Charmeleon, Rainbow TRT, Bone, Chocolate Mint, and Fire TGR are all available in 5 and 6-inch. We’ve also recently released new 8-count packs of worms available in Watermelon RedBlack & Blue, and Green Pumpkin. We also offer worms that have the unique ability to shift from one color to another. Scented for total attraction underwater.
Shallow water in the fall can be highly productive, and using the right baits is crucial for success. In areas 1-5 feet deep, try bouncing a crankbait off rocks or use soft plastics like lizards and insect larva along riprap and shallow cover. A slow, steady retrieve can be effective, but don’t hesitate to burn your bait near the surface if the bass are actively chasing. Consider using square-billed crankbaits or soft plastic worms rigged to bump off stumps and logs to mimic the erratic action of fleeing prey. Focus on shad and crawdad colors that match the natural forage, and keep experimenting until you find what works best in the shallows. Pay attention to any sudden temperature changes, as warming trends can push baitfish and consequently bass into the shallows for feeding frenzies. Wind direction is another crucial factor; fish the windy side of the lake or points where waves stir up the bottom, making prey more vulnerable. Also, remember that bass in shallow water are often easily spooked, so approach quietly and make longer casts to avoid alerting them. Using lighter line or fluorocarbon can help make your presentation more natural, increasing your chances of getting a bite.Our newest FreshBaitz Mandingo Trick Worm is the ultimate game-changer for anglers with a passion! Engineered for the angler who knows SIZE does matter, this lure is designed to attract only the BIGGEST bass with a penchant for the larger bait. The Mandingo Trick Worm boasts a solid 7-inch body enhanced with a hyperactive ribbed design, ensuring irresistible mouth-watering action for those trophy bass.

Whether you’re rigging it on a Shakey Head, Drop Shot, Texas Rig, or Carolina Rig, these worms are your ticket to landing the big ones. Proudly made in the USA by real anglers to help elevate your fishing experience and catch more bass year-round!
Fishing deeper waters in November requires a varied approach to find where bass are holding. Use crankbaits to cover depths from 6 to 25 feet, choosing models with tight, subtle actions that work well in colder water. Soft plastics like worms and cray-styled baits can be used to probe the bottom structure, where bass may be lying in wait. Ensure your bait has a durable construction to deflect off rocks and other underwater obstacles, mimicking the erratic movement of natural prey. Adjust your presentation to ensure your bait is at the correct depth, and use techniques that create the subtle movements bass are looking for in colder conditions. Focus on key deep-water features such as drop-offs, ledges, and underwater humps, where bass are likely to congregate. Using your electronics to identify baitfish and structure can be invaluable for pinpointing productive spots. Experiment with retrieval speeds, as bass in deeper water may respond differently depending on their activity level. Try a slow drag along the bottom, hopping or pausing to mimic a struggling or injured prey. Be prepared for subtle bites, in cold water, bass may strike gently, so maintaining sensitivity is crucial.We have a wide variety of terminal tackle to choose from, but we’ve recently released new Nako Tungsten Tear Drop Shot Weights, crafted from 97% eco-friendly tungsten for stealth, durability, and vibration, with easy-to-read size stamps and a crimped swivel for quick changes. The new Haymaker EWG Worm Hooks are also now available, featuring an extra-wide gap for various soft plastics, a Z-lock shoulder bend for secure bait placement, and an angled-up super needle point for fast, powerful hooksets.

For fast Texas rigging, we use the Bullet-Type Rig which has an attached weight saving you pressure time when fishing cover. The 4x Jungle Flippin Hook is designed for big fish and the toughest conditions. The Range Roller Jig Head is crafted for precision with its high center axis design, perfect for hover-strolling and mid to bottom strolling with forward facing sonar, ensuring an enticing rolling action that triggers bites.



MLF’s General Tire Team Series Set to Wrap Season with Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup Next Week in Florida’s Indian River County

Bass Pro Tour anglers compete as two-man teams on unknown east-central Florida waters in the season’s final Team Series event, with all six days livestreamed and filmed for Outdoor Channel

VERO BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 11, 2024) – Twenty-four of the best professional anglers in the world will be visiting one of America’s happiest seaside locations, next week. Major League Fishing (MLF) is bringing the 2024 General Tire Team Series Presented by Bass Pro Shops to Indian River County, Florida, next week, Nov. 17-22, for the fourth and final Team Series event of the season – the Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches.  

Hosted by Visit Indian River County and Play Treasure Coast Sports Tourism, the Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches will feature 12 two-man teams of professional anglers from the Bass Pro Tour competing at fisheries in the region that are unknown to the competitors until they arrive to the launch ramp each morning.

“Indian River County is beyond excited to host the General Tire Team Series Summit Cup and offer up our beautiful area to the many fishermen participating in this tournament,” said Ben Earman, Vice President of Tourism & Marketing for Visit Indian River County. “We are honored to have been the chosen location and to feature the areas of our County that make it so special.”

The General Tire Team Series is livestreamed daily, meaning every cast and every catch is covered live and fans can watch teammates work together to break down a new body of water in real time. The MLFNOW!  broadcast is livestreamed on MajorLeagueFishing.com, the MLF and MyOutdoorTV (MOTV) apps and on Rumble. The broadcast team of Chad McKee and J.T. Kenney will break down the extended action live on all six days of competition at the Summit Cup from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. ET. 

In keeping with traditional MLF Cup protocols, Indian River County, Florida was not revealed to Team Series anglers until 30 days prior to the start of the tournament. All fishable waters within 60 miles of Vero Beach, Florida, then went off limits to anglers. Fans watching the MLFNOW! livestream will find out the day’s competition waters right along with the anglers each morning, and then watch all the action unfold live as teams work together and share their knowledge as they compete for the Summit Cup and to claim a part of a season-long purse of more than $720,000.

“Most places in the country, fishing gets tougher in the fall. But not in Florida,” said pro Terry “Big Show” Scroggins of San Mateo, Florida, who will be competing alongside fellow pro Britt Myers for Team Lucas Oil. “Florida seems to fish better in the fall, so this is going to be a really fun tournament. The potential is there to see some really big days on the water.

“There are a ton of fisheries in play that we could be headed to,” Scroggins continued. “Things could get a little bit tricky, but for the most part I think we’ll be doing a lot of grass fishing next week – targeting pads, hydrilla and eel grass. Typical ‘Florida’ stuff.”

Scroggins said that he expects vibrating jigs, topwater baits and flipping baits all to be strong options for the teams competing.

“Those are the three baits that I’ll have tied on to start,” Scroggins said. “With the MLF format, it’s important to not get too far behind. The key will be finding the schools and getting on them… and then finding the schools that have the big ones.”

Scroggins said that he’s also very excited to share the boat for the first time in a competition with his travel partner Myers.

“I’ve roomed with Britt on Tour for a few years, and we’ve always gotten along great,” Scroggins said. “I think we’re going to be fine. I’ve never been in a team tournament with him, but he’s a great angler and a great guy and I am excited to see what we can find.”

Hayden Marbut Wins 2024 Toyota Series Championship on Wheeler Lake

Standout collegiate angler for Auburn University reels in $235K with three-day total of 57 pounds, 12 ounces

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (Nov. 9, 2024) – Bass Pro Tour angler Keith Poche gave it a great run, but in the end, it was 21-year-old Hayden Marbut of Birmingham, Alabama, that stole the show at the 2024 Toyota Series Championship Presented by Bass Boat Technologies on Wheeler Lake . Weighing 21 pounds, 6 ounces on Day 1, the young Alabama pro set the bar high, and he stayed on the gas all the way. Weighing 19-10 on Day 2 kept him within striking distance after Poche dropped an incredible 27-pound stringer, and when the shallow-water expert faltered on Day 3, Marbut was there with 16-12 for a 57-12 total and the win.

Earning $235,000 for his efforts, the win also qualified him for REDCREST on Lake Guntersville, which happens to be his home lake. Marbut has now banked $345,555 on the year in Toyota Series winnings alone – a spectacular amount of money for a 21-year-old and more than many pros win in several years. Of course, a hefty proportion of that is in the form of Phoenix MLF Bonus earnings, which he cashed in on twice this year.

Still, while the money spends, Marbut isn’t just in it for a cash grab – he has as much passion for tournament fishing as you can.

“It’s unbelievable,” he said. “You know, I said during practice, ‘I want this one’. I want to make REDCREST, and for it all come together the way it did, it’s just unbelievable. I was able to stay calm all week – it was a little bit more stressful today, but I just kinda went fishing the first two days. I didn’t even feel like I was fishing the tournament. It was just like I was out there having fun, and everything was just falling into place. I just cannot believe it.”

Marbut fished all week along bluffs that were on the main lake near the mouth of the Elk River. While a bunch of pros ran a very similar pattern closer to the dam, most of them ended up faltering, and losing ground to anglers plying the flats. That would not be the case for Marbut. When he won the Toyota Series Central Division event this winter at Lake Guntersville, he did it on bluffs as well, which meant he was extremely comfortable with the program.

“Honestly, I pretty much figured it out the first day I came out here in pre-practice,” he said. “I had, like, 20 pounds three weeks ago when it was it was colder, and there was more fish on it. And, it was what I love to fish, you know, similar to how I won Guntersville, and I was kinda stubborn after that.”

He tried the flats, marked some brush, and did other things. But, the first taste of Wheeler ended up being the best plan.

“I understand current, you know, how it affects different places down the lake, and current was definitely a major factor,” he said. “I was looking for the most obvious textbook stuff I could find: big channel swings, any point that stuck out into the river, anywhere a smallmouth could just pull up and feed. I wanted to have as many high-percentage areas as I could.”

Though plenty of pros ran bluffs for smallmouth, the zone of the lake that Marbut ended up in was key in his estimation.

“I had one main area, but in practice and pre-practice, down by the dam was better for me,” Marbut explained. “But throughout the week I noticed those fish down there were getting pounded on pretty hard, and it’s clear water. Those fish are super smart, they’re big smallmouth, mostly down there.

“So, I bounced around the Elk and made that my home,” he said. “It had a little bit more stained water. And it’s one of the biggest channel swings in the lake that right above the Elk, and it just seems like a good place.”

Despite putting himself in the best part of the lake and knowing what to throw, it still wasn’t a walk in the park. Catching four smallmouth and one meanmouth on Day 1, Marbut added in more largemouth every day after that, fishing mostly the same sorts of areas.

To do well every day required precise presentations and finely honed tackle.

“Especially the first day for the smallmouth, I definitely had to lead them, because they’re swimming so fast,” he said. “They’re hard to hit. You get one chance. If they see it out the corner of their eye and you hesitate and don’t present it right, they’re never gonna come up there and eat.”

For his tackle, Marbut used a Picasso Tungsten Ball Head, mostly in the 3/16-ounce size, several minnows, and a 6-foot, 10-inch, medium light G. Loomis NRX+ spinning rod and a few Shimano spinning reels. At Guntersville, Marbut used a 12-inch Garmin ECHOMAP, but he upgraded to a Garmin 1643xsv on his new boat, though kept mostly the same settings. 

“I ran the blue color palette at Guntersville, but with the 16, I was running amber,” he revealed. “That’s kind of the stock pallet, and that’s what I like mostly. And, for settings, I was running 30-foot depth and 90-foot out, really, like, the same exact settings as Guntersville.”

On the final day, Marbut showed off why he’s been such a force in tournaments, from his college days at Auburn to now. In addition to a mastery of modern fishing, he’s got a real knack for all the other things that make tournaments hard.

With the bluff bite lagging a little on the final day, Marbut caught his kicker off brush he’d marked weeks ago.

“I found it in pre-practice and caught one fish out of it,” he said of the fateful pile. “Today, I was running around the lake, and I was like, maybe I should hit that. So, I pulled over there, and I caught that 4-pounder. I couldn’t even see it in there. I was just working my bait through it, and all of a sudden, it loaded up. That one settled me down a lot.”

Then, not knowing that Poche had failed to follow up his Day 2 success, Marbut pushed to the end, putting miles on the trolling motor while others were running back.

“The last day of pre-practice, I put in here at Ditto, and I ran all the way to the dam, and I put a stop sign every 10 minutes,” Marbut said. “So I knew exactly how much time I needed going 60 miles an hour, and I figured I’d be a little faster just to be safe. I timed it all out, and wanted to make sure I had a pretty bulletproof system, where I wasn’t gonna screw anything up.”

After hoisting the trophy, locking in REDCREST and picking up the big check, it’s safe to say that Marbut didn’t screw up.

Overall, there were 94 bass weighing 235 pounds, 5 ounces caught by 23 of the final 25 boaters on Saturday. The catch included 16 five-bass limits.

David Bozarth of Montgomery, Texas, brought four bass to the scale weighing 10 pounds, 9 ounces, to win the Strike King co-angler division of the 2024 Toyota Series Championship and earn a new Phoenix 518 pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard engine, worth $33,500. Bozarth’s three-day total of 10 bass weighing 29-4 earned him the victory by a slim 1-ounce margin over second-place co-angler Keith Honeycutt of Temple, Texas, who weighed in 15 bass weighing 29-3 over the three days of competition, good for the second-place prize of $12,500.

Keith Poche Takes Lead After Day 2 of Toyota Series Championship on Wheeler Lake

Alabama pro leads by 1-pound, 13-ounce margin, Top 25 set for final-day in competition for up to $235,000

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (Nov. 8, 2024) – Some flip-flopping on the leaderboard was expected on Day 2 of the 2024 Toyota Series Championship at Wheeler Lake Presented by Bass Boat Technologies. However, the move from 20th to first with a limit of bass weighing 27 pounds, 5 ounces by  Keith Poche of Pike Road, Alabama, was not on the board. Of course, Poche rarely conforms to the norm, and his big day remade the tournament, putting him in the lead with a 42-13 total going into the final day of competition.

Day 1 leader Hayden Marbut of Birmingham, Alabama, tallied 19-10 to bring his total to an even 41 pounds and finish the day in second – more than 5 pounds clear of third place. However, instead of a wire-to-wire walk in the park for the young Alabama angler, it looks like Day 3 could be one of the most epic finishes to a tournament we’ve seen in some time.

On Day 1, Poche caught a solid 15 pounds and change – nothing to write home about, but a good start. According to him, 27 pounds wasn’t in the picture at all.

“That was unbelievable,” Poche gushed. “You know, after yesterday and the bites I had in practice, I thought maybe upper teens, 20 – if everything goes right, and I get lucky. But 27 pounds, I don’t even know, I mean, I don’t even know if the scales are right,” he said. “I mean, I know they were big, but that was unbelievable. That’s the biggest bag I’ve ever weighed in in my life.”

Considering Poche has fished around the country as a pro for years, it’s a wild statement, and true or nearly true, it’s a testament to just how amazing a day he had. Catching 27 pounds of largemouth is not something that’s supposed to happen at Wheeler this time of year. To top it off, he caught almost all of them in about 40 minutes and was done by 10 o’clock.

Poche said he doesn’t have company, and that there are fish left – he saw them busting and chasing bait at the end of the day. He’s just not sure what the difference between the first day and today was.

“Execution was part of the difference between having upper teens or 20,” Poche said. “But today, I really don’t know – that’s what we battle all the time as fishermen. These fish are like us. I mean, we’re moody. We have feelings. The big ones just didn’t bite as well yesterday, they were nipping at it, and I guess the big ones were just going crazy today.”

From the sounds of it, a limit shouldn’t be a problem, but to stay ahead of Marbut, Poche likely needs another strong day. Today, Poche may have figured out how to go from good to very good.

“There’s so many fish in this area,” he said. “There’s hundreds of fish. Yesterday, there were fish blowing up everywhere. Most of them small, but there’s key little places in there where I’ve noticed that I’m getting the bigger bites.”

Maybe he does it again – or even in the ballpark – and he’ll get what he came for: the $200,000 winner’s check.

“I want the money,” he said. “Show me the money; that’s what I want.”

Capps gets his wish with win at B.A.S.S. Nation Championship at Grand Lake

Oklahoma’s Blake Capps wins the 2024 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship presented by Lowrance at Grand Lake with a weight of 42-14.

Capps gets his wish with win at B.A.S.S. Nation Championship at Grand Lake

NationChampionship_MercuryLowrance_4c.png

GROVE, Okla. — When Blake Capps was in first grade, he and his classmates were asked to write down what they wanted to be when they grew up. The scraps of paper then went into a time capsule that was opened a dozen years later when they were high school seniors.

“I wrote that I wanted to be a professional fisherman,” Capps said.

After winning the 2024 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship presented by Lowrance, Capps can officially say his wish has come true.

The 28-year-old Capps weighed a three-day total of 42 pounds, 14 ounces to win the championship that concluded Friday on Grand Lake O’ The Cherokees, less than 100 miles from his home in Muskogee. Capps had the heaviest bag of the day (14-14) which propelled him to a 14-ounce victory in a tournament that featured nearly 500 of the best B.A.S.S. Nation anglers from around the U.S. and several foreign countries.

The victory at Grand Lake comes with a wealth of riches, among them a spot in the 2025 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic which will be held March 21-23 on Lake Ray Roberts in Fort Worth, Texas. Capps also collected $50,000 cash, an invitation to compete in the 2025 Bassmaster Elite Series, and a Nation’s Best boat and truck combo to use for the year. 

After hoisting the Bryan V. Kerchal Memorial Trophy that goes to the B.A.S.S. Nation Champion each year, Capps (who works as a petroleum operator at a nearby power plant) reflected upon the time capsule that was cracked open back in 2015. 

“I haven’t had a chance to do a lot of competitive fishing because of work and the cost that goes with being a tournament fisherman,” he said. “But I’m definitely gonna have to sit down and think about (accepting the offer to fish in the Elite Series).

“And I can tell you, I’m leaning really heavy toward it,” he said, chuckling. “I may go out there and get my butt whooped. But somewhere down the road I can look back and say I was a Bassmaster Elite one day. It’ll be almost impossible to pass up this chance.”

Living close to one of America’s premier bass fisheries didn’t hurt Capps’ chances on Grand Lake, but he noted he’s never fished the reservoir at this time of year. With temperatures warmer than usual, though, he figured bigger bass would be feeding in shallow water. They were, but the bites were scarce enough that each one was precious.

“I don’t know if anyone covered as much water as I did this week,” he said. “I ran constantly, and it was all for five, six, seven bites a day. It was work, but it paid off.”

And when most anglers were throwing myriad lures trying to entice the fickle Grand Lake bass to bite, Capps settled into a winning pattern amidst his run-and-gun routine.

“Out of my 15 fish, I think I caught 14 on a simple white spinnerbait,” Capps said, adding that he rotated between War Eagle and BOOYAH Covert lures throughout the championship. 

“I was catching behind boat docks or by shallow logs,” he said. “If you could find floating wood, that was a big deal. But the key really was getting the spinnerbait behind boat docks. I was using Falcon rods, and I put them through some abuse this week — banging them on cables and docks. They really held up doing the kind of fishing I was doing this week.”

Day 2 leader Connor Jacob of Auburn, Ala., wound up second in the championship with 42 pounds of bass in the three-day derby. Jeremy Knepp of Montgomery, Ill., finished third with 41-13.

Both Jacob and Knepp also won spots in the 2025 Bassmaster Classic, as well as paid entry into the Bassmaster Elite Qualifiers field for 2025. The latter ensures neither will need to qualify via one of the two new divisions that will debut in the 2025 St. Croix Bassmaster Opens presented by SEVIIN.

Jacob, 24, previously fished for Auburn University in the Strike King Bassmaster College Series presented by Bass Pro Shops. He entered his first B.A.S.S. Nation event earlier this year on Oklahoma’s Lake Eufaula, finishing third. He said he put some of the knowledge he learned there to use at Grand Lake this week.

“I threw a drop shot pretty much exclusively, and it was good for about 90 percent of my fish,” Jacob said. “I’d run down to the dam and get a limit of spotted bass and largemouth bass for about 10 or 11 pounds. Then about 11 o’clock, I’d come up here, north of Horse Creek, and I was able to pick up a nice fish every day. Those later catches really helped me this week.”

Knepp, 45, was fishing Grand Lake for the first time, and he said it “set up perfectly for what I like to do.”

“Junk fishing,” said Knepp, who works for the U.S. Navy. “I caught a lot of fish shallow on topwater baits. I caught some offshore in 6 to 8 feet of water, and I made some crucial culls late today that made the difference.”

Knepp threw a Citrus Shad Rapala crank bait for his biggest bites on Grand. He caught two key bass (including the one that earned him a podium finish at the championship) at Sailboat Bridge, located near Wolf Creek Park where take-offs and weigh-ins were held this week. 

“I had a limit when I got to the bridge, but I culled three times there,” he said. “I probably gained 3 or 4 pounds … And now, the Bassmaster Classic. It’s been a lifelong dream, and it’s for real right now.”

Jacob earned $14,000 for finishing second and Knepp netted $13,000. The Top 40 boaters won cash prizes, splitting a purse of $121,500 among them. 

A total of 482 anglers started the tournament on Wednesday, and the Top 21 (20 boaters and the victorious non-boater) survived the Day 2 cut. 

Carson Orellana caught the Phoenix Boats Big Bass of the Tournament — a 6-3 largemouth he hooked on Day 1. That catch was good for a $500 cash prize.

Jose Munoz won the non-boater division of the championship Thursday with a two-day total of 18-10. He was the only nonboater to qualify for Day 3, and he finished with 26-9 overall. The Illinois resident won $10,000 cash for finishing first among the 239 nonboaters competing on Grand Lake.

NPFL Announces Location and Amends Date for 2025 Schedule

WILKESVILLE, Ohio — The National Professional Fishing League and Town of Massena, New York announce that they will hold a tournament on the St. Lawrence River, July 9-11, 2025. This event had been scheduled for later in July, and the location was previously undisclosed.

“The previously scheduled dates presented a conflict for many of our anglers,” explained NPFL President Brad Fuller. “By moving the event up three weeks, we can eliminate that conflict and better serve our anglers, our sponsors, and our fans.”

In the league’s previous schedule announcement in October, the location of this event had not yet been finalized. The NPFL can now confirm that the tournament will be on the historic St. Lawrence River, an unparalleled smallmouth bass fishery in picturesque New York.

“Summertime bass fishing on the St. Lawrence is some of the best anywhere at any time,” said Fuller. “It’s going to give our field an opportunity to show off their skills and the amazing fishery. It’ll be a great event!”

Don R. Meissner, Massena Fishing Tournament Director, added “The Town of Massena is proud to host the National Professional Fishing League in 2025. The St. Lawrence River is teeming with giant smallmouths, including a 9-pound monster that set a new state record this summer. We welcome all the NPFL anglers and their families to a week of new adventures and fantastic catches.”

“The tournament will be the NPFL’s first on the St. Lawrence River and first in the State of New York,” Fuller added. “The Town of Massena has been a terrific partner, and we’re looking forward to bringing top-notch tournament bass fishing to that community.”

“On behalf of the town board, we are eager to host this amazing event in 2025,” said Adrian Taraska, Massena Town Board Member. “This singular event promises to bring the town even greater recognition as one of the best places to compete for prize money in the quest to catch a giant smallmouth bass. We are excited to welcome both newcomers and seasoned anglers to the St. Lawrence River in 2025.”

The updated 2025 NPFL schedule can be found here.

Jacob takes slim lead into final day at B.A.S.S. Nation Championship at Grand Lake

Jacob takes slim lead into final day at B.A.S.S. Nation Championship at Grand Lake

NationChampionship_MercuryLowrance_4c.png

GROVE, Okla. — Former Auburn University angler Connor Jacob schooled the Grand Lake bass on Day 2 of the 2024 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship presented by Lowrance.

Jacob, 24, caught a limit of five bass on Thursday totaling 16 pounds, 2 ounces. That was the third-heaviest bag of the tournament, and it gave him 29-6 overall heading into the third and final day of fishing on Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees in the northeast corner of the Sooner State.

Jacob climbed from a tie for 16th on Day 1 to the pole position a day later. He’s focusing on brush piles and stumps off the banks of this fabled, 41,000-acre reservoir.

“I finished third at Lake Eufaula (in the St. Croix Bassmaster Open presented by SEVIIN), and I’d never seen Grand Lake,” Jacob said. “So, I kind of tried to lean on what I did there. The first couple days of practice here, that didn’t work out at all … On the first day of the tournament, I caught a bunch of 2-pounders down by the dam.

“But in the last 20 minutes, I stopped in one spot and caught a 4-pounder off a stump. I thought, ‘I probably should do more of that.’”

And so, he did.

After catching an early limit on Day 2, he dissected another Grand Lake stump to pull a 4 ½-pounder into his boat. He picked up a similarly sized bass under a dock later in the day to climb above the 16-pound threshold.

The only bigger bags weighed this week both came on Day 2 — Indiana’s Jeremy Knepp (seventh place, 16-5 on Day 2, 27-3 overall) and Tennessee’s Sam Hanggi (ninth place, 18-3 on Day 2, 26-5 overall).

Jacob and Hanggi are rooming together during the Nation Championship, so it’s clear they’ve figured something out on what’s been a grind on Grand this week. For his part, Jacob said he’s throwing a drop shot in about 12 to 20 feet of water.

“The whole house is doing well,” Jacob said. “The winner may come down to which one of us does better tomorrow.”

Will Davis Jr., the two-time defending B.A.S.S. Nation Championship winner, might have something to say about that, however. Davis, a 32-year-old Alabamian, has a 29-3 total, a mere three ounces behind Jacob. He’s battle-tested after two years on the Bassmaster Elite Series (the spoils for winning the previous B.A.S.S. Nation titles) and he’s got a win on that circuit, too (on Alabama’s Lay Lake in 2023).

“I like fishing from behind,” Davis said. “I’d be lying if I said I haven’t thought about the possibility of winning this tournament three years in a row. But I try to put it behind me, way in the back of my mind. It’s been so tough fishing here this week. You have to execute perfectly because you’re getting only about six keeper bites a day if you’re lucky. It’s crucial to land every one of them.”

Day 1 leader Alex Goff, of West Virginia, is currently in third place with 28-5. He said a missed 3-pounder kept him from having a bigger bag on Thursday.

“I had five keepers and about six or seven shorts,” Goff said. “I thought I could do a little bit better given how I ended yesterday. I’m covering a lot of water still, but I’ve started to focus on one spot where I’ve caught a big one both days. It’s a bluff wall in about 5 feet that drops to about 20 feet. The bigger fish are swimming through there. I just have to make them eat.”

Goff said he’s burning a crankbait and slow rolling a spinnerbait over that drop to trigger his best bites.

Oklahoma’s Blake Capps, second after Day 1, fell to fourth overall with a two-day total of 28 pounds. Wisconsin’s Nick Trim is fifth with 27-11.

Carson Orellana, who’s in 10th place overall among boaters, still has the Phoenix Boats Big Bass of the Tournament — a 6-3 largemouth he hooked on Wednesday. Ohio’s Corey Lindsey caught the heaviest bass among boaters on Thursday (5-9), and that propelled him into 14th place (24-5 overall)

The Top 20 of the 243 anglers in the boater division advanced to fish on Championship Friday. They’ll be joined by Jose Munoz, who won the non-boater division on Thursday with a two-day total of 18-10. Munoz, of Illinois, won $10,000 cash for finishing first among the 239 non-boaters competing on Grand Lake.

Mark Moran, of West Virginia, finished second among non-boaters with 18-8 overall. Robb Cody II, of Georgia, also had 18-8 and placed third overall after tiebreaking rules were applied. South Carolina’s Emery Gray caught the Phoenix Boats Big Bass among non-boaters — a 5-3 on Day 1 of the derby.

The 21 anglers to survive Thursday’s cut will take off from Wolf Creek Park in Grove at 6:30 a.m. CT on Friday. Weigh-in will start at the park beginning at 2:15 p.m.

The Top 3 anglers after the day is complete will earn berths into the 2025 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic to be held March 21-23 on Lake Ray Roberts in Fort Worth, Texas. The overall winner also will collect $50,000, an invitation to compete in the 2025 Bassmaster Elite Series and a Nation’s Best boat and truck combo to use for the year. 

In addition, the second- and third-place boaters in the tournament will receive paid entry into the Bassmaster Elite Qualifiers field for 2025, circumventing the need to qualify via one of the two new divisions the St. Croix Bassmaster Opens presented by SEVIIN will debut in the 2025 season.

The Grove Convention and Tourism Bureau is hosting this week’s events.
