Foster Bradley and Nick Harris Win ABT Logan Martin Lake

By Jason Duran

The fourth stop of the Alabama Bass Trail South Division was held on Logan Martin Lake. The lake host was the city of Lincoln that developed a premier tournament facility in Lincoln’s Landing. With over 350 parking spaces for trailers and trucks, a very spacious multilane boat ramp, and dock space, Lincoln’s Landing provides ample space for the 225 ABT teams. Logan Martin Lake is also a great lake for teams to catch largemouth and spotted bass. The spotted bass population is in abundance and provides anglers of all ages a fun opportunity to catch fish. Teams competed for the top prize of $10,000 and Angler of the Year points.

Foster Bradley and Nick Harris finished in first place. “After practice, we started this morning down the lake using top water baits. Based on practice, we felt this area was going to be productive for us, but we only caught around 7-pounds fishing down lake. We knew the schedule said they were going to start pulling water around 8 am, so we decided to make a move and head back up the lake to fish. As we started back up, we noticed the current was flowing which helped position the fish in areas where we needed them to be. The retrieve for us was the key. We targeted very shallow grass areas using a Davis Baits Swim jig in a couple different colors including black and blue and white and brim colors. We paired the jig with a Hammer 7-foot heavy rod with 65-pound braid. We have a lot of confidence in that bait, and when we caught a couple of fish using it today, it helped our confidence to keep using it and clued us in more on what we needed to keep doing.  We caught about 20 fish today with a mixture of spotted bass and largemouth. This afternoon we culled out all the spotted bass and upgraded them with largemouth. We felt like we needed around 17-18 pounds to win this event, and at the end of our day, thought we were still one bite away. We had a 2-pound fish and spent the last hour and a half trying to cull out with no success.” When the scales closed, 16.66 pounds was enough for first place and $10,000.

The team of Mark McCaig and Tim Hurts finished in second place with 15.86 pounds and a big fish of a 5.85 largemouth. The team has fished Logan Martin Lake for many years. Tim lives on the lake and knows it very well. The key for Mark and Tim was to “fish for largemouth all day long. There are places on this lake you can go and catch spotted bass all day in the 2.5-3- pound range, but you cannot waste time doing that if you want to win tournaments. We knew if we focused on largemouth, we would not get as many bites. However, the bites we did get would be the ones needed to win. We caught the big one, but we needed one more to cull out our small one that was around 2 pounds. Looking back at tournaments here, the teams winning always have big, largemouth to win. We decided that was what we needed to do, so we focused on that all day. We fished four or five big areas targeting fish 5-6 feet or less. The fish are done spawning here, so we tried to fish areas where the fish were coming through headed out towards the ledge. The baits that were productive for us were Shakey Head and Crankbaits. The big fish came one a green pumpkin Senko. With this win, they collected a $5,000 payday plus a $2,500 Phoenix Boats payday bonus, and a $500 Big Fish Bonus.

The third-place team of Ethan King and Fletcher Phillips caught 15.36 pounds. “In practice, we looked around for a shad spawn and found an area to start on tournament day. We were boat 126 and ran to a spot we found in practice about 3 or 4 miles in the back of a creek where we found the shad spawn. When we got there this morning, the shad spawn was still going on and no other boats were on the spot. We were hoping this area would be productive for us and provide a good largemouth. The shad spawn lasted about an hour.” They fished this area “swimming a Dirty Jigs swim jig in white and Jackall Kaera Frog. After the shad spawn, we moved out to fish docks and river ledges fishing a War Eagle ½ oz ball head jig and Rapala DT 6 and 10 Crank Bait in Disco Shad. We caught about 20 fish, about 11 pounds, on the shad spawn and 30-40 fish came the rest of the day on docks and river ledge” to help cull up to the third-place weight of 15.36 pounds. Prior to this event, they were in 15th place in AOY standings and moved into 5th place with a good opportunity to make the AOY top 9 to qualify for the BASS Team Championship. With their third-place finish they earned a $4,000 payday.

Wheeler Earns Win at MLF Bass Pro Tour Toro Stage Four on Lake Guntersville

Harrison, Tennessee, Pro Catches Limit Weighing 54-15 to Win by 9-Pound 7-Ounce Margin and Earn $100,000 Top Prize

GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. (May 21, 2023) –     Reigning Bally Bet Angler of the Year (AOY) Jacob Wheeler of Harrison, Tennessee, has six Bass Pro Tour wins – more than any other angler in Major League Fishing History – but he hasn’t hoisted a trophy since Stage Six of 2021. However, Wheeler caught 13 scorable bass Sunday, with his best five weighing 25 pounds, 6 ounces, to win the Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour Toro Stage Four at Lake Guntersville Presented by Bass Cat Boats and earn the top payout of $100,000.

Wheeler’s two-day total of 10 bass weighing 54 pounds, 15 ounces, gave him the victory by a 9-pound, 7-ounce margin over second-place finisher Jacob Wall of New Hope, Alabama, who weighed in 10 bass totaling 45-8, good for $45,000. 

“It’s truly special to win this event,” Wheeler said. “The Tennessee River holds a very special place in my heart. It’s been good to me.”

Lake Guntersville has changed in recent years from a lake that featured typical TVA current, when baits such as a football-head jig and a crankbait were the norm. Eel grass has become prevalent, and it has cleared up the water – to the point where the bottom is visible in 7 to 8 feet of water in some places. Wheeler adjusted and went to a lighter finesse rig and dominated the field.

“I had a couple of places in my back pocket that I knew if I needed to get a bite, I could get one,” Wheeler said. “If I had 25 places, I bet you I caught a bass on 20 of them.”

Wheeler said he relied on a 7-foot medium-action Duckett spinning rod, a Shimano Vanford 2500 spinning reel, 8-pound-test Sufix NanoBraid Nanofilament Braid, and a Sufix fluorocarbon leader to boat his bass during the event. Wheeler said he also relied heavily on a bait he kept secret all week – a bait he said accounted for “99 percent” of his bass.

“I developed a soft plastic line with a company, and it’s really impressive,” Wheeler said. “The Freeloader has a really unique action. I spent a lot of time on this bait to get it to do exactly what I wanted it to do with the action. It has a shad profile, and a lot of these fish were eating threadfin shad. That bait did a phenomenal job of matching the hatch. It’s a fish catcher.”

The soft plastic Freeloader features a VMC hybrid jig head and a hybrid Spro hook. According to Wheeler, the bait will debut at ICAST in July and be available to the public sometime in the fall.

“It triggers big ones into biting,” Wheeler said. “And that really was the key this week. You throw it out and ‘shake and bake it’. The action of that bait just triggers the big fish.”

While Wheeler will savor the long-awaited victory, he isn’t going to be content with a lone win in 2023.

“I had a really great season last year and won Angler of the Year, but I never won an event,” Wheeler said. “And the goal every single year is to win an event. If you win an event, you try to win two, and if you win two, you try to win three… every single win is special.”

The final 10 pros from the Toro Stage Four at Lake Guntersville Presented by Bass Cat Boats are:

1st:        Jacob Wheeler, Harrison, Tenn., 10 bass, 54-15, $100,000
2nd:       Jacob Wall, New Hope, Ala., 10 bass, 45-8, $45,000
3rd:       Adrian Avena, Vineland, N.J., 10 bass, 43-11, $38,000
4th:        David Dudley, Lynchburg, Va., 10 bass, 43-8, $32,000
5th:        Matt Becker, Ten Mile, Tenn., 10 bass, 43-0, $30,000
6th:        Edwin Evers, Talala, Okla., 10 bass, 41-5, $26,000
7th:        Takahiro Omori, Tokyo, Japan, 10 bass, 37-0, $23,000
8th:        Bradley Roy, Lancaster, Ky., eight bass, 28-11, $21,000
9th:        Randall Tharp, Port Saint Joe, Fla., six bass, 25-4, $19,000

Overall, there were 77 scorable bass weighing 253 pounds, 11 ounces caught by nine pros Sunday.

Wheeler also earned Sunday’s Championship Round $1,000 Berkley Big Bass award with a 6-pound, 2-ounce bass he caught on the Freeloader in Period 2. David Dudley of Lynchburg, Virginia, earned the $3,000 Berkley Big Bass award for the largest bass of the overall event with his 7-pound, 9-ounce largemouth that he weighed on Day 4 of competition.

Alec Morrison Wins MLF Toyota Series Southwestern Division Finale on Sam Rayburn Reservoir

Alec Morrison Wins MLF Toyota Series Southwestern Division Finale on Sam Rayburn Reservoir 

New York Pro Sets New Toyota Series All-Time Record for Largest Winning Margin with 24-Pound Victory over Tater Reynolds

BROOKELAND, Texas (May 21, 2023) – Pro Alec Morrison of Peru, New York, brought five bass to the scale, Saturday, totaling 16 pounds, 3 ounces, to win the Toyota Series at Sam Rayburn Reservoir and earn the top payout of $70,975, including the lucrative $35,000 Phoenix MLF Bonus. The unique thing about that, though, is that Morrison could have taken the day off.

Morrison’s three-day total of 15 bass weighing 73-5 earned him the victory by a jaw-dropping 24-pound margin – the largest margin of victory in MLF (and FLW) Toyota Series history. The previous largest winning margin was 17-15 and belonged to Ken Howden, a mark he set in 2011 on Roosevelt Lake.   

“Despite the lead I had coming into today, I didn’t sleep at all last night,” Morrison admitted. “I was extremely nervous this morning and all day until I caught my one big one. It was just so hard for me to believe that it was actually coming true, I don’t think my nerves have let up even still.”

The 23-year-old angler started his Day 3 the same way he had all week – ‘scoping out deeper brush piles looking for big ones. That strategy proved extremely effective the first two days, as that’s how the bulk of Morrison’s impressive bags were caught. But on Saturday, Morrison’s pattern took a while to get going.

“It was a slower start to the morning, but I stuck with the same strategy,” Morrison explained. “What I thought was my primary spot going into today didn’t really work out. It was great the first two days, but nothing happened there today. I didn’t freak out, I just ran around a lot and hit some other spots and was able to find what I needed to.”

Morrison was able to hunker down and fill his limit around 9:30 a.m., and then culled a few times to get him up to 16-3 for the day. A few variations of soft plastic worms were the winning bait combinations including a drop-shot, a free rig and a Texas rig with a sliding football head. However, Morrison insists that it was more about the spots he had picked out than any specific bait.

The New York kid now prepares to make the long trek back to upstate New York near the banks of Lake Champlain with a trophy and big check in tow. He has plans to fish a few of the Northern Division stops this summer to prepare himself for his Toyota Series Championship appearance in November.

The top 10 pros on Sam Rayburn Reservoir finished:

1st:          Alec Morrison, Peru, N.Y., 15 bass, 73-5, $70,975 (includes $35,000 Phoenix MLF Bonus)
2nd:         Tater Reynolds, Florien, La., 15 bass, 49-5, $14,240
3rd:         Cody Huff, Ava, Mo., 15 bass, 48-12, $10,793
4th:         Jeff Reynolds, Calera, Okla., 15 bass, 48-1, $8,994
5th:         Jaden Parrish, Liberty, Texas, 15 bass, 47-13, $8,594
6th:         Kris Wilson, Montgomery, Texas, 15 bass, 47-9, $7,695
7th:         Keith Combs, Huntington, Texas, 15 bass, 45-5, $6,296
8th:         Brett Preuett, Monroe, La., 15 bass, 44-13, $5,396
9th:         Matt Reed, Madisonville, Texas, 15 bass, 44-13, $4,497
10th:       Marshall Hughes, Hemphill, Texas, 15 bass, 44-7, $3,598

Complete results can be found at MajorLeagueFishing.com.

On Thursday, pro Jeff Reynolds earned the $500 Day 1 Berkley Big Bass award in the pro division with a bass weighing 10 pounds, 10 ounces. On Friday pro Matt Reed earned the $500 Berkley Big Bass prize with a largemouth weighing in at 8 pounds, 15 ounces.

Chance Shelby of Denim Springs, Louisiana, won the Strike King Co-angler Division Saturday with a three-day total of 15 bass weighing 31 pounds, 9 ounces. Shelby took home the top co-angler prize package worth $33,500, including a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard motor.

The top 10 Strike King co-anglers on Sam Rayburn Reservoir finished:

1st:          Chance Shelby, Denim Springs, La., 15 bass, 31-9, Phoenix 518 Pro boat w/115-hp Mercury outboard
2nd:         Morgan White, Jasper, Texas, 12 bass, 31-2, $4,549
3rd:         Robert Davis, Lufkin, Texas, 15 bass, 30-0, $3,639
4th:         Robert Williams, Houston, Texas, 15 bass, 29-15, $3,184
5th:         William Easley, Pollok, Texas, 11 bass, 29-4, $2,729
6th:         Zack Nick, Lufkin, Texas, 15 bass, 29-3, $2,274
7th:         Cedric Jackson, Sicily Island, La., 15 bass, 29-2, $1,819
8th:         Casey McCommons, Ina, Ill., 14 bass, 28-13, $1,667
9th:         Bryan Hester, Bossier City, La., 11 bass, 26-9, $1,440
10th:       Nick Stanislaus, Porter, Texas, 15 bass, 25-11, $1,337

Sloan earned Thursday’s $150 Berkley Big Bass co-angler award after weighing in a 7-pound, 14-ounce largemouth, while Friday’s Day 2 $150 co-angler award was split between Casey McCommons and Bryan Hester, who both weighed in a bass that totaled 7 pounds, 2 ounces.

The three-day tournament was hosted by the Jasper-Lake Sam Rayburn Area Chamber of Commerce, and was the third and final regular-season event for the 2023 Toyota Series Southwestern Division.

With the three regular-season events in the Toyota Series Presented by Phoenix Boats Southwestern Division now complete, pro Todd Castledine of Nacogdoches, Texas, was crowned the 2023 Southwestern Division Pro Angler of the Year (AOY) and earned the $5,000 AOY bonus with a total of 743 points.

Wheeler Leads Going into Final Day at MLF Bass Pro Tour Toro Stage Four on Lake Guntersville

Tennessee Pro Catches Five Largemouth Weighing 29 Pounds, 9 Ounces to Pace Knockout Round Field, Final 10 Anglers Set for Championship Sunday and Shootout for $100,000

GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. (May 20, 2023) – Reigning Bally Bet Angler of the Year (AOY) Jacob Wheeler of Harrison, Tennessee, caught 21 scorable bass Saturday, with his best five weighing 29 pounds, 9 ounces, to lead the 40-angler Knockout Round and advance along with the top 10 anglers to Sunday’s final day Championship Round at the Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour Toro Stage Four at Lake Guntersville Presented by Bass Cat Boats.

Wheeler will bring a sizeable 5-pound, 1-ounce advantage over second-place pro Ott Defoe of Blaine, Tennessee, who weighed in five bass totaling 24-8 to end the day in second place. Pro Adrian Avena of Vineland, New Jersey, sits in third place with five bass weighing 23-12, while Edwin Evers of Talala, Oklahoma , weighed in five bass totaling 23-11 to finish the day in fourth. Lynchburg, Virginia’s, David Dudley caught five bass weighing 23-1 to round out the top five.

Sunday’s final standings are still up in the air – a 30-pound bag is always a possibility at Guntersville – and less than nine pounds separates the 10 remaining anglers. Competition resumes Sunday morning with the Championship Round, where weight carries over from the Knockout Round and the angler with the heaviest two-day total will win the top prize of $100,000.

“I had a great day on the water, and you live for those days,” Wheeler said. “It was one of those days where every decision I made seemed like the right one.”

Wheeler is known for his tendency to bounce from spot to spot to cover water, but he said recreational boat traffic kept him stationary during part of the day.

“I was bouncing around a little bit,” Wheeler said. “I would spend some time in some zones, but I didn’t spend all my time in those areas. It was tough to get around on a Saturday in some places, so I squatted a little bit more than I would. As the rain hit, things opened up, and I was able to bounce around a little bit.”

Rain fell in the afternoon for 20 to 30 minutes, and the bite turned on as the rain approached. The rain, combined with a slowdown in recreational boat traffic, allowed fish to set back up on schools. As a result, a large number of fish turned on to feed and were caught during that period.

Wheeler said four of his five biggest bass of the day came on a yet-to-be released bait he designed called the Hitchhiker that will debut at ICAST in July. Wheeler’s Saturday catch included nine bass over four pounds – including three that weighed more than six pounds.

“Lake Guntersville is impressive,” Wheeler said. “It might be the best Tennessee River bass-fishing lake in the country. It just pumps them out every single day. There are more 3- to 5-pounders in this lake than just about anywhere else that I’ve ever been.

“Obviously it was a really good day,” Wheeler added. “Better than I anticipated. I was fortunate to get a couple of the right bites, got them in the boat, and hopefully, I can repeat that tomorrow. Anybody can drop a 30-pound bag at any point in time, so I’m definitely not safe. I think I need to catch another 25 pounds to have a real good shot at taking this one home.”

The top 10 pros that now advance to Sunday’s Championship Round on Lake Guntersville are:

1st:        Jacob Wheeler, Harrison, Tenn., five bass, 29-9
2nd:       Ott Defoe, Blaine, Tenn., five bass, 24-8

Huge morning rally lifts Rasmussen to Bassmaster Open win at Wheeler Lake

DECATUR, Ala. — Adam Rasmussen proved that good things do indeed come to those that wait.

The pro from Sturgeon Bay, Wis., leveraged a blistering morning bite to complete a three-day total of 54 pounds, 15 ounces and claim a close victory in the St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Wheeler Lake.

After placing seventh on Day 1 with 19-2, Rasmussen added a second-round limit of 14-2 and held his position. Then Championship Saturday saw him weigh in 21-11 — the final round’s heaviest bag and the second-heaviest of the tournament.

Edging Bassmaster Elite Series star Brandon Palaniuk of Rathdrum, Idaho, by 7 ounces, Rasmussen notched his first B.A.S.S. win. He earned $51,567 and qualified for the 2024 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Toyota March 22-24 in Tulsa, Okla., with fishing on Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees.

“I was telling my buddy (fellow Bassmaster Opens Elite Qualifier pro) Brad Leuthner, ‘I’ve never been to a Classic. I’ve never worked one (for sponsors). I’m not going until I fish one,’” Rasmussen said. “Now I’m going to Grand Lake. It’s awesome.”

After enduring the frustrations of a crowded fishery, Day 3 saw Rasmussen finally able to fish one of his intended targets. As it turned out, he could have trailered his boat in time for breakfast, sat out the rainy, blustery day and still won the tournament.

“It was a spot I didn’t get to fish all week because there were too many boats on it,” Rasmussen said. “There were probably 8 to 10 boats on it every morning, but with only the Top 10 boats out there today, I was able to fish it.

“This was some of the best stuff I found in practice, but I just had bad boat numbers where I couldn’t get there. It was wide open this morning and I landed on them.”

Rasmussen described his key spot as an offshore shellbed on the popular Decatur Flats. Hosting a vigorous morning shad spawn, the structure topped off in 2 1/2 feet.

“I caught everything I had in the first hour and a half — and thank God because it was not good after that,” Rasmussen said. “I looked at the clock after I had just caught an upper 5-pound fish and told my marshal, ‘I think I just won this tournament.’”

Rasmussen caught his shad-spawn fish on a 1/2-ounce Z-Man JackHammer ChatterBait with a new straight-tail trailer that will be released at ICAST. He also used this bait to catch his Day 1 fish on a different shad-spawn location.

Day 2 saw Rasmussen unsuccessfully try to capitalize on the early morning shad spawn. When it was clear that this plan was not going to pay off, he turned his attention to grass and offshore ledges and collected his limit with a VMC Swinging Rugby Head and a craw bait (also set for ICAST release).

“I grew up as a walleye fisherman, so I’m fairly new at this sport,” Rasmussen said. “I just started competitively fishing for bass a few years ago, but you watch all your heroes at the Bassmaster Classic and I finally got to the point in my life where I can stretch my neck out and do this.

“Now I’m going to the Bassmaster Classic. It’s a dream come true.”

Coming off his second-place finish at the Whataburger Bassmaster Elite at Lay Lake last week, Palaniuk placed 56th on Day 1 with a modest five-bass limit of 14 pounds. Adding a second-day limit of 19-9, Palaniuk gained 50 spots to sixth. With a Championship Saturday limit that went 20-15, the reigning Progressive Insurance Bassmaster Angler of the Year made a serious run at the top spot but fell just short with 54-8.

“I only got a day and a half of practice out here, so I can’t complain,” Palaniuk said. “I was still figuring them out on Day 1, then I got clued in enough that I was able to continue to dial it in a little bit better.”

Spending most of his time on the Decatur Flats, Palaniuk caught his bass on two Megabass jerkbaits — the Vision OneTen and the hulking Kanata 160 — the same bait Palaniuk used during his fifth-place finish at the AFTCO Bassmaster Elite at Santee Cooper Lakes in April.

Austin Cranford of Norman, Okla., finished third with 53-7. He turned in daily weights of 18-9, 16-13 and 18-1. Cranford anchored his final limit with a 6-10 largemouth.

“My practice was not that great,” Cranford said. “I was on about 12 to 13 pounds a day and they just kind of showed up.”

Cranford noted that the weather impacted his options. On Day 1, he caught his bass on a jerkbait and a drop shot on the main river channel, but the strong winds of Day 2 killed that game plan.

“I went to the bank and landed on ‘em,” Cranford said. “There was a shad spawn on a small grass clump. I threw a ChatterBait over it and on five casts in a row, I caught (nearly) 17 pounds.”

In the final round, Cranford returned to his magic grass clump and caught most of his limit, including the big fish. He finished his day offshore, where he made a couple of small culls.

As part of the Yamaha Power Pay program, Palaniuk took home an additional $2,000. 

Bobby Lanham of Eddyville, Ky., won the $750 Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with the 6-14 he caught on Day 1.

Cranford won the $500 Garmin Tournament Rewards contingency.

During the 2023 Opens season, only anglers who fish all nine events on the schedule will be eligible to earn a spot on the 2024 Bassmaster Elite Series.

Through the first four events, Tennessee pro John Garrett leads the Elite Qualifiers standings with 755 points. Elite Series pro Kenta Kimura of Japan is second with 725 points, followed by Trey McKinney of Illinois with 722, Georgia’s Matt Henry with 706 and South Carolina’s JT Thompkins with 706. Rounding out the Top 9 are Brett Cannon, Keith Tuma, Logan Parks and Ben Milliken.

Day 1 of the 2023 CATT Championship was a tough day on Kerr Lake for the 203 teams with a whole lot of zeroes. But a few of the anglers were able to find them but even those anglers said it was extremely rough as you can see by the results. But tomorrow the rain is supposed to show up but not the warm temperatures we had today. Will Josh & Tyler be able to hold on to the lead? We will find out tomorrow.

George overcomes hardship to lead Bassmaster Open at Wheeler Lake

DECATUR, Ala. — Despite a demoralizing drought, plus a mechanical issue that threatened to doom his day, Sam George of Athens, Ala., persevered and tallied a two-day total of 36 pounds, 15 ounces to take over the lead at the St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Wheeler Lake.

In a tight Top 10, where 4-3 separates first and 10th places, George added 19-8 to his 16th-place Day 1 limit of 17-7. Currently sitting in 28th place in the Bassmaster Opens Elite Qualifier standings, George heads into Championship Saturday with a lead of 1-6 over fellow Alabamian JT Russell.

“Man, it was one of those days — I struggled, I struggled bad,” George said. “I caught a big one right off the bat, but I was hung up on four fish forever.”

Complicating his challenge, George experienced a bilge pump failure — not a good thing when strong winds whip the lake into a frothy chop.

“I had to come back in, but the service guys saved me big time,” George said. “I was scared to get back out in that big water, taking waves over the front and I couldn’t get water out of the boat.

“They fixed me in 30 minutes and I was able to get out there in the crowd (on the popular Decatur Flats). I was finally able to get on a little place and caught nearly everything I had in seven casts. I went from about 11 pounds to 19 pretty quickly.”

George said his early fish was likely one he shook off during practice. The bass bit a swim jig on the same cast he had made before the event.

“I’m pretty sure she was spawning up there,” George said. “This lake has so much going on right now — there are fish shallow and deep; just offshore in general. Most of it is offshore, but you’re fishing shallow spots offshore.”

On the Decatur Flats, George worked a depression with reaction baits. With minimal lake current, the day’s strong east wind actually created enough water movement to stimulate the fish utilizing that low spot.

Looking ahead to Saturday’s final round, George said he’ll likely give his Day 2 spot a good look. That being said, he’s considering dipping into his deep well of local experience to see if he can seal the deal on his first Bassmaster win.

“I have some tricks up my sleeve, so I’m going to run places where I’ve always caught a bass,” George said. “I’m going to keep some places honest because I know what can happen if they show up.

“This is where I learned to fish, so it would mean a lot to win here.”

Hailing from McCalla, Ala., Russell is in second place with 35-9. Turning in a consistent performance, Russell placed 14th on Day 1 with 17-11 and made a big move with Friday’s limit of 17-14.

“Yesterday, I didn’t catch a fish until 8:30. This morning, I just went straight to fishing shallow,” Russell said. “I caught two or three good ones right off the bat and then it turned into an absolute grind.

“I ended up catching one more good one at 12 o’clock on the dot and I caught my last good one with three minutes left. I slung the trolling motor and came back over (to check in). I caught fish all day, but the big ones were definitely a lot tougher to come by.”

Russell caught his shallow fish on a mix of moving baits and flipping presentations. Offshore, he threw a jig and a Texas-rigged 10-inch worm.

Austin Cranford of Norman, Okla., placed third with 35-6. After placing 10th with 18-9 Thursday, he improved his position by adding a limit of 16-13 Friday.

“I tried to start out doing what I did to catch them yesterday, but the wind was blowing so bad I couldn’t see the fish (on forward-facing sonar) and keep the trolling motor in the water,” Cranford said. “So, I ran around and fished shallow. I kinda found a one-cast deal on the back end of a shad spawn.”

Bobby Lanham of Eddyville, Ky., is in the lead for Phoenix Boats Big Bass honors with the 6-14 he caught on Day 1.

Tommy Wood of Sippy Downs, Australia, won the co-angler division with 20-8. In only his third U.S. tournament, Wood led Day 1 with 10-1 and added a second-round limit of 10-7.

“I had no expectations at all,” Wood said. “I just came to the U.S. to learn. This win has made the world so much better. It’s just amazing.”

After catching his Day 1 fish on a jig, Wood got his final morning going early by catching a 4-pounder on a Strike King spinnerbait. He then added another keeper on a wacky-rigged green pumpkin Yamamoto Senko, before closing the deal with another solid fish on a swim jig.

“I caught two early — one was that 4-pounder — and then I didn’t get my third fish for ages,” Wood said. “I ended up catching my third one up shallow. It’s so much fun watching those big fish come up in the willow grass and eat that swim jig.”

Thanking fellow Aussie and Bassmaster Elite Series pro Carl Jocumsen, along with Canadian Elite Jeff Gustafson, for their support and encouragement, Wood said he’s pleased with his progress.

“Two months ago, I hadn’t even caught a bass, so it’s been a steep learning curve,” Wood said. “I got a 15th at my first event at Toledo Bend and at Buggs Island, I got a 21st, so it’s been good.”

Ashton Smith of Lake Helen, Fla., and Travis Turcotte of Pembroke, Canada, tied for the Phoenix Boats Big Bass award among co-anglers, each with a 4-13. Smith and Turcotte split the $250 prize.

The remaining Top 10 anglers will take off at 6 a.m. CT Saturday from Ingalls Harbor. The final weigh-in will be held back at Ingalls Harbor at 2 p.m. Full coverage will be available on Bassmaster.com.
