The gang is back at it for the final challenge in the Z-Man Project Z on Lake Guntersville. Fishing the previous winter for 3 days on Lake G, David Walker along with Stephen Browning and Luke Clausen have been fishing a selection of Z-Man baits through various challenges and sections of the lake and now the lake has been opened up to the anglers so it will change up the contest for the final episode.
David Caylor of New Brockton and Allen Hayes of Pell City earned $10,000 for winning the Alabama Bass Trail tournament on Lake Eufaula Saturday. Their five-bass limited weighed 25.19 pounds. The team used homemade black and blue jigs made by Hayes to catch the winning stringer fishing out a little deeper than the competition.
It’s that time of year again. That time where lake, state and world records seem to fall every year. We recently learned of a pending spotted bass record for the state of Tennessee. According to reports, Shane McKee of Cleveland, Tenn. caught a spotted bass from Parksville Lake that weighed 6 pounds, 15 ounces on a certified scale. That would break the current record held by FLW Tour pro Wesley Strader of 6 pounds, 7 ounces. McKee is reported to have caught the pending record spotted bass on a jerkbait, although he declined to say which one.

32 teams came out on a cold Sunday morning to fish the rescheduled Piedmont Bass Classics February 15th snowed out Mini Trail Qualifier #1 at Shearon Harris.
It was a little chilly that morning at 36 degrees and it didn’t warm up until after noon and then only got up to about 56 degrees with a light rain. The wind was mostly light but did gust a few times during the day. Water
temps averaged from 47 to 58. You had to find the warmer water and cast with Chatterbaits, Crankbaits, Jigs,
C-Rigs & Spinnerbaits to get a hit.
Jaime Fajardo & Scott Woodson caught 5 nice bass weighing a total of 22.27 lbs taking 1st Place. They also
won 1st Place TWT for a total of $1,127 in winnings. They are also with the Stratos Boats 2X program and will
probably earn another $749 for fishing out of a Stratos Boat!

Place TWT and took home a total of $599. Big fish for the day weighed 8.84 lbs. and was landed by the team of
