Berrien Springs Pro Catches Two-Day Total of 10 Bass Weighing 40 Pounds, 6 Ounces to Overtake Lead – Top 50 Advance to Championship Sunday
EUFAULA, Okla. (April 15, 2023) – After another blustery day of fighting Oklahoma wind, pro Ron Nelson of Berrien Springs, Michigan , weighed a five-bass limit totaling 20 pounds, 2 ounces Saturday to take the Day 2 lead at the MLF Tackle Warehouse Invitational Epic Baits Stop 3 at Lake Eufaula Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches. Nelson’s two-day total of 40 pounds, 6 ounces gives him a 4-pound lead over pro Cody Spetz of Hollister, Missouri, who caught a five-bass limit weighing 14-12 to move into second place.

The three-day tournament, hosted by the Eufaula Area Chamber of Commerce, features a roster of 150 anglers competing for a top prize of up to $115,000 and an invitation to compete at REDCREST 2024. The full field of 150 anglers concluded the two-day opening round on Saturday, with only the top 50 pros based on their two-day cumulative weight advancing to Championship Sunday.
The blustery conditions on Saturday had anglers across the rocky Oklahoma reservoir working to pivot and adjust their game plan, as the bite slowed and movement across the fishery became more calculated.
“It’s all about having a good time, and we had a good time today, but it didn’t work out easy this morning,” said Nelson. “My starting spot where I caught them on Day 1 was covered up by another angler, so I had to make some adjustments.
“I had a few ‘feel good’ fish by late morning – a couple 1½- to 2-pounders that I caught on beds – but I knew I’d need more,” Nelson continued. “I decided not to take the rough beating in this wind just to have five fish in the box, so I decided to run up the lake a little way and go bed-fishing.”
That decision provided Nelson the kicker fish that catapulted him into the top spot going into the final day of competition.
“The first pocket we rolled into had a couple of empty beds, but then I spotted a decent fish,” said Nelson. “I pitched at her a few times, and realized she was probably under 3 pounds, but I still wanted her.
“That was such a neat bite because she sat and watched as the bait floated down. I shook it once and I saw her tail come out of the water, and then she just smashed it. I set the hook on her and realized she was a big one.”
That “three-pounder” grew into a 6-pound, 5-ounce bass.
“Today was all about adjustments, grit and grinding,” said Nelson. “My last cull came the same way. I went into a little pocket and found a clay point. I threw a football jig in there and caught my third biggest fish on the first cast.”
While Nelson is known to be calm, cool and collected on the water, he admitted he got a little hyped during the competition day.
“After I caught that big fish today, I went to retie and realized I was actually shaking – and I don’t ever get shook up – but I was struggling to retie that bait,” Nelson said, laughing. “I culled out a line-burner for that bigger fish, so it was a mega-cull and that was so fun.”
While winning the current tournament is always a target for competing pros, the 2020 winner of the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit AOY said he’s got his eye on another one of those trophies.
“There’s a lot of pressure on us right now, with the AOY race underway, so we’re working hard,” continued Nelson. “But that competition and desire to win that title again is what makes it fun.”

SEASONAL PATTERNS THAT CATCH BASS!
Seasonal patterns in bass fishing refer to the changes in behavior and movement of bass in response to the changing seasons. The spring season, in particular, is a crucial time for bass fishing as it is when the fish begin to emerge from their winter hiding spots and become more active. As water temperatures rise, bass becomes more willing to feed and are more likely to move into shallower waters. During the spring, bass tends to move toward shallow waters to spawn. This makes them easier to target for anglers as they become more concentrated in certain areas. Anglers should focus on areas with shallow cover such as weed beds, fallen trees, and rocks. Mid-depth waters are also important during the spring as bass will use them as staging areas before moving into the shallows to spawn. Anglers can target these areas by using a slow-moving presentation such as a Texas-rigged soft plastic bait. When it comes to bait selection, soft plastic lizards and craw-styled baits are popular choices for spring bass fishing. These baits imitate the natural prey of bass and can be fished slowly to entice a strike. Anglers can also use a variety of colors to match the natural forage in the area. As the spring progresses and water temperatures continue to rise, bass will begin to move into deeper waters. Anglers should adjust their tactics accordingly and target mid-depth and deep waters with jigs or crankbaits. Deep structures such as drop-offs, humps, and points are also key areas to target in spring.Understanding the seasonal patterns of bass is important for anglers as it allows them to predict where the fish will be and what they will be feeding on. This knowledge can help anglers choose the right bait and presentation to entice a strike. By targeting the right areas at the right times, anglers can greatly increase their chances of catching more and bigger bass. The spring season, in particular, provides a great opportunity for anglers to catch trophy-sized bass as the fish become more active and concentrated in certain areas. In summary, seasonal patterns in bass fishing refer to the changes in behavior and movement of bass in response to the changing seasons. During the spring season, bass tends to move toward shallow waters to spawn, making them easier to target for anglers. Soft plastic Lizards, Scorpions, and even CrayCraws are popular choices for spring bass fishing as they imitate the natural prey of bass. As the spring progresses, bass will move into deeper waters and anglers should adjust their tactics accordingly. Understanding these seasonal patterns is important for anglers as it allows them to predict where the fish will be and what they will be feeding on which increases their chances.Swimbaits are a versatile type of lure that can be used to target a variety of fish species, including bass. Soft plastic craw-styled baits, lizards, and beetles are all examples of swimbaits that can be effective when fished with the right tactics. We like to use bait that bass simply can’t resist. We use our Fresh Scorpion because it closely imitates a crawfish. Our Fresh Scorpion paired with a Stand-up jig is deadly… This bait will actually sit upright in a defensive stance! The Scorpion is a revolutionary new look to soft plastics. This bait not only appears natural to fish but gives them something to become curious about. Each Fresh Scorpion has a unique and exclusive 3-axis tail design that is engineered like no other soft plastic bait. Made from high-grade non-salt plastic to provide superior life-like action that triggers MORE strikes! Scented for complete and total attraction underwater!  Shallow waters are a crucial area for bass fishing during the spring season. As water temperatures rise, bass become more active and are more likely to move into shallow waters to spawn. Shallow waters are typically defined as areas with a depth of less than 10 feet, and can include areas such as weed beds, fallen trees, and rocks. One of the benefits of fishing in shallow waters is that it allows anglers to cover a large area quickly. Since bass tend to be concentrated in these areas during the spring, anglers can move from spot to spot until they find a school of fish. Another benefit of fishing in shallow waters is that it allows anglers to use a variety of techniques. Soft plastic baits such as lizards and craw-styled baits can be fished slowly along the bottom to entice a strike. Anglers should be aware of potential hazards in shallow waters such as submerged rocks or stumps. These areas can be productive for bass fishing but require caution when navigating with a boat. shallow waters are a critical area for bass fishing during the spring season. They allow anglers to cover a large area quickly and use a variety of techniques. Paying attention to the type of cover, water clarity, and potential hazards can increase an angler’s chances.The Fresh Cray Craw is made from durable high-grade non-salted plastic for maximum attention-grabbing action. They’re perfect for predatory fish including bass year-round! The unique claw design with a thick tapered outer wall produces a flapping action with every movement of the rod. Made in the USA by real fishermen just like you and scented for complete and total attraction underwater! Crawfish are a Bass’ favorite food source, the Cray Craw delivers a realistic profile that excels in a wide variety of rigging techniques. CrayCraws are perfect for lakes, rivers, and streams all year long! Additionally, its compact solid body enables this bait to be fished as a Jig Trailer, Carolina-Rig, Texas Rig, and Ned Rig. Ideal bait in any condition. Colors like Poison, Natural, and even Green Pumpkin work great!  Mid-depth waters are another important area for bass fishing during the spring season. These waters are typically defined as areas with a depth of 10 to 20 feet, and can include drop-offs, points, and humps.One of the benefits of fishing in mid-depth waters is that it allows anglers to target bass that are staging before moving into the shallows to spawn. These fish are often more willing to feed than those in deeper waters, making them easier to catch. Anglers should pay attention to the structure in mid-depth waters as this can affect their presentation. For example, fishing a jig along a drop-off requires a different presentation than fishing a crankbait along a point. Another factor to consider when fishing in mid-depth waters is the type of cover. Rock piles and brush piles can be productive areas for bass fishing in mid-depth waters. Anglers should use a slow-moving presentation to entice a strike. Fishing in mid-depth waters can be productive throughout the day but is often best in the early morning and late evening. During these times, the bass may be more active.The new Fresh Baitz Lizard delivers a realistic profile that excels in both power and finesse techniques. 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 in any condition. The superior 5.5-inch profile stretches to a whole 7 inches which entices feeding bass! Perfect for predatory fish including bass year round. The Fresh Baitz Lizard is made from durable high-grade Non-Salted plastic for maximum attention-grabbing action.  Deep waters are another important area for bass fishing during the spring season. These waters are typically defined as areas with a depth of more than 20 feet and can include channels, ledges, and offshore humps. The benefit of fishing in deep waters is that it allows anglers to target larger, more mature bass that may not be found in shallower waters. These fish are often more difficult to catch but can be worth the effort. Anglers should pay attention to the structure in deep waters as this can affect their presentation. Fishing a drop-shot rig along a channel requires a different presentation than fishing a Carolina rig along an offshore hump. Another factor to consider when fishing in deep waters is the type of cover. Deep weed lines and brush piles can be productive areas for bass fishing in deep waters. Anglers should use a slow-moving presentation to entice a strike. Fishing in deep waters can be productive throughout the day but is often best in the early morning and late evening. During these times, the bass may be more active and willing to feed. Fishing in deep waters requires specialized equipment such as heavy rods and lines that can handle the weight of the baits and the pressure of the water.We have a wide variety of terminal tackle to choose from. For Scorpions and CrayCraws we love to use the Stand-Up Jig because it sits your bait up-right in a defensive stance! When using a lizard we like using an All Purpose Hook which is built with an extra-wide gap and is made to accommodate a wide range of soft plastics. This hook has a z-lock shoulder bend feature that holds baits firmly in place working through and covering. Also has a super needle point technology that ensures its sharp penetrating power performs. Mosquito Hooks work for drop-shotting and are designed to accommodate a wide range of soft plastics. The Block Head Jig is perfect for ned rigging with its mushroom-style head that seamlessly matches a wide variety of soft plastics such as lizards and worms. The Shakey Ultrahead can permanently secure baits by inserting the pin in the center and screwing the twist lock coil spring for perfect rigging every time! The Ultrahead Wacky Jig features precise weight positioning and hook orientation for the ultimate wacky presentations. |

Florida’s Falk and Blackmon lift the trophy at Bassmaster High School Series event on Chickamauga
DAYTON, Tenn. — A beautiful spring day on famed Chickamauga Lake became even better for the Florida team of Carson Falk and Trey Blackmon III of Capital City Bass Hunters. In front of a large crowd, the dynamic duo was able weigh a five-bass limit of 25 pounds, 3 ounces to best a huge field of talented high school anglers at the 2023 Strike King Bassmaster High School Series at Chickamauga Lake presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors.
Although it was an eight-hour drive from the Tallahassee, Fla., area, the pair was able to find water that looked and fished similarly to Lake Seminole, their home lake.
“We started off on a bed fish this morning that we figured was around 4 1/2 pounds but we eventually had to leave it,” said 15-year-old Falk. “We stayed in the lower portion of the lake all day because it just set up perfectly for what we’re best at. It had clear water, stumps and grass which is a perfect combination.”
During practice, Falk and Blackmon used large swimbaits like the Megabass Magdraft and Bass Mafia Daingerous. The big bass would follow the swimbaits out of the grass and as soon as the bass showed themselves, the anglers would quickly get the swimbaits back into the boat and mark a GPS waypoint in order to return on tournament day.
“They were eating big crappie while also spawning on those grass flats,” Falk said. “We used your typical grass baits such as bladed jigs to catch the fish that previously followed our big baits. The conditions lined up perfectly and we were able to fish with our favorite baits and had a blast.”
In second place, 17-year-old anglers Logan Withrow and Braden Crumley of Chilhowee Bassmasters in Charleston, Tenn., had a five-bass limit weighing 18-2. They credited a mid-morning move for their impressive finish.
“Initially, we ran all the way below Watts Bar Dam and fished for three hours without a bite,” Withrow said. “We decided to head back down the lake toward Harrison Bay and that was the move that made the difference. We stopped on a bluff and caught two 5-pounders on a custom-made bluegill-colored jig and the rest of our keepers came on a drop shot and wacky rig.”
Living just 20 miles from Chickamauga, the team has plenty of experience on their local waters.
“We’re familiar with this lake, but it’s still important to make adjustments every day,” Withrow said. “To be able to come out and fish our home waters and have such a great tournament is an awesome feeling. This is the highest finish of our high school career and we are thrilled.”
Rounding out the Top 5 teams were, third, Brody Kellum and Carson Thompson of Georgia’s Franklin County High School with 16-9; fourth, Brady Vest and Brody Hopper of Cullman (Ala.) High School with 16-8; and fifth, former Bassmaster Junior Series champions Lainie Holbert and Sarah Swindle of Riverside High School in Tenn., with 16-5.
The Big Bass of the Tournament — a 9-3 largemouth — was caught by Jonathan Fann and Gunter Pitts of Tennessee’s Cannon County High School.
The event was hosted by Rhea County Economic and Community Development and Fish Dayton.

Milliken completes dominant wire-to-wire victory at Bassmaster Open on Toledo Bend
MANY, La. — Despite the “anything can happen” banter around Cypress Bend Park, everyone knew Ben Milliken had the St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Toledo Bend well in hand heading into Championship Saturday.
In fact, “Will he win?” was less a question than “How big will his margin of victory be?”
The 33-year-old New Caney, Texas, resident answered those questions and more on Saturday after a history-making romp across this fabled fishery.
Milliken won with 77 pounds, 14 ounces, the third-largest total in a three-day Open in B.A.S.S. history, trailing only Gerald Swindle (who caught 80-13 over three days on Lake Toho in 2011) and Cory Johnston (who had an even 78 pounds at 1000 Islands in 2021.) Milliken’s win was decisive, with a 10-9 cushion between him and Trey McKinney, who finished second with 67-5.
Milliken collected a first-place cash prize of more than $52,000, part of a $285,000 total purse split among the Top 40 of 223 anglers entered in the boater division at Toledo Bend. The win also secured him a berth in the 2024 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Toyota when it’s held next March on Oklahoma’s Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees.
“This is my dream,” Milliken said of the Classic berth. “I wasn’t expecting it this week. To have it go down this week, close to home, is unbelievable.”
Despite being a YouTube star with more than a half million people following his fishing exploits, Milliken is new to tournament fishing. He’s off to an auspicious start, with a fifth-place finish at the first Open of the year on Alabama’s Lake Eufaula and now a commanding victory at Toledo Bend.
Milliken led wire to wire on the 185,000-acre fishery that forms the north-central border between Louisiana and Texas. His 29-8 limit on Day 1 was easily the heaviest of the tournament and he followed with 26-15 on Day 2 to give himself nearly a 12-pound cushion heading into the final round.
He didn’t disappoint when the pressure was on, catching a 21-7 limit on Day 3, second only to McKinney’s 22-8.
A small armada of spectator boats followed Milliken to his favored spot, about 10 miles down the reservoir at a place locals call Indian Mounds. He fished clay points throughout the area in about 6 or 7 feet of water, throwing a variety of altered glidebaits, ranging from 7 to 15 inches in length, and natural in color to match the forage bass were eating.
The big lures proved to be the draw for The Bend’s big bass on the first two days.
“In the afternoon when the sun got out, I’d see these bigger dots show up on the LiveScope,” Milliken said of his activity on Days 1 and 2. “They were big gizzard shad, and when that collides with the big bass moving out offshore (here), things can get pretty crazy on that big glidebait.
“I caught a 7-pounder and then an 8-pounder, and I knew that was the program I wanted to go with.”
Milliken also knows big bites can be fickle and that he needed a secondary plan in case his sweet spot went sour. He found it in the form of a Carolina-rigged 6th Sense Hogwalla (green pumpkin juice) creature bait, which supplemented his catch on the first two days.
It was his go-to lure on Day 3, however, when he worked an offshore spot near Indian Mounds for his best catches.
“It stays level and horizontal on the fall,” Milliken said. “Other people were in the area with Carolina rigs, but they weren’t catching like I was.”
McKinney threw everything he could into Saturday’s final round, catching the day’s best bag. The 18-year-old Carbondale, Ill., resident was the only angler besides Milliken to catch 20-pound bags each day of the tournament. He won $25,274 for finishing second. McKinney added $500 as the highest-finishing registered pro fishing St. Croix rods thanks to the St. Croix Rod Rewards program.
McKinney fished in shallow water for most of the tournament, using a shad-colored Denny Brauer Baby Structure jig and a 5XD, both from Strike King, for his best bass. He switched to chartreuse/blue plastics on Day 3 when bright sun and temperatures in the upper 80s forced him to deeper water.
“I threw back a 3-8 for my final cull of the day,” McKinney said. “My hands are all chewed up. But this was unbelievable. I’ll never forget this tournament as long as I live.”
The $750 Phoenix Boats Big Bass Award was split between Minnesota pro Keith Tuma and Louisiana’s B.J. Usie, who both weighed a 9-8 lunker on Day 1. Milliken won the Garmin Contingency Award of $500 for posting the heaviest total weight by a competitor using Garmin electronics.
As part of the Yamaha Power Pay program, Tennessee pro John Garrett took home an additional $2,000.
A total of 169 anglers at Toledo Bend are competing in the inaugural Elite Qualifier Division, which requires them to fish in each of the nine Opens scheduled in 2023. The top nine in the EQ standings when the season is complete will earn invites to compete in the 2024 Bassmaster Elite Series.
Though it’s still very early in the season, these nine anglers now sit at the top of the EQ standings: First, Milliken with 396 points; second, Texas’ Brett Cannon (396); third, Garrett (394); fourth, Georgia’s Matt Henry (383); fifth, McKinney (381); sixth, Wisconsin’s Jacob Bigelow (381); seventh, Alabama pro Wesley Gore (380), eighth, Tuma (368); and Georgia pro Josh Bragg (359). Complete EQ standings are available on Bassmaster.com.
Combined with the co-angler division, which concluded Friday, the tournament boasted 362 anglers competing for a total of $340,000.
The St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Toledo Bend was hosted by the Sabine Parish Tourist & Recreation Commission and the Louisiana Office of Tourism.

Milliken maintains lead at Bassmaster Open on famed Toledo Bend Reservoir
MANY, La. — Go big or go home.
Ben Milliken will stick around a while longer, thank you very much.
Milliken, a 33-year-old New Caney, Texas, resident with a penchant for catching big bass, didn’t let up on Day 2 of the St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Toledo Bend. Milliken caught a five-bass limit of 26 pounds, 15 ounces on Friday, adding to the 29-8 sack he weighed on Day 1, and giving him a two-day total of 56-7 in this derby on the 185,000-acre reservoir that forms the border between Louisiana and his home state.
Milliken’s assault on Toledo Bend gives him nearly 12 pounds of cushion on the other nine anglers who got inside the Phoenix Boats Cutline and will fish Saturday for a first-place cash prize of over $52,000. A total of 223 anglers, 168 of them in the inaugural Elite Qualifiers Division, started this tournament with the Top 40 splitting a $285,000 cash purse.
None have been mightier than Milliken, who is throwing some giant lures at the storied reservoir’s giant bass. Milliken isn’t quite ready to discuss those lures in detail, but it is no secret he’s fond of big baits. Photographs from the water show he has got several crankbaits and swimbaits, some 8 to 12 inches long, tied onto an arsenal of rods.
“It’s not just one bait, there’s a handful of them,” he said. “This is what I do all the time. LiveScope with these big baits.”
Milliken began Day 2 in the same area he fished on Day 1, about 20 miles down the reservoir from Cypress Bend Park and in 6 to 7 feet of water. He had a limit in the livewell before 10 a.m. which allowed him more than five hours to search for additional hot spots on Toledo Bend should his sweet spot go sour for some reason.
Not that it seems likely. If anything, Milliken appears to be gaining confidence as the Open progresses.
“It’s more of a pattern than I thought before, as opposed to just an area (I need to fish),” Milliken said. “I can pretty much know exactly where they’re gonna’ be when I look at my map. So, that’s exciting.”
Milliken doesn’t plan to change his approach Saturday — and why would he? Inclement weather is expected later in the day, but Milliken said his best spot is largely shielded from the wind.
If he does lose the hot hand, he’s confident he can rely on a Carolina rig to catch a limit. Given the way he’s dominated this derby, that could be enough to lock up the tournament title, no matter what his peers do.
“It’s been incredible; some of the most fun fishing of my life,” he said.
Trey McKinney, an 18-year-old fishing phenom from Carbondale, Ill., is in second place at Toledo Bend with a two-day total of 44-13. McKinney caught a 23-1 limit on Friday to follow his 21-12 a day earlier, making him the only angler besides Milliken to bag more than 20 pounds on both days.
“I’m shallow fishing and I burned a lot of my fish just to keep up today,” McKinney said. “But I saved a few areas for tomorrow. I’ve got a heavy line, and I’m flipping the center of the thickest thing you can flip in.”
Rounding out the Top 10 fishing Saturday are third, Minnesota’s Keith Tuma, 41-8; fourth, Tennessee’s John Garrett, 37-6; fifth, Texas’ Todd Castledine, 37-4; sixth, Texas’ Brett Cannon, 37-3; seventh, Georgia’s Matt Henry, 37-2; eighth, Louisiana’s Kyle Metzger, 36-10; ninth, Wisconsin’s Jacob Bigelow, 36-8; and 10th, Missouri’s Casey Scanlon, 35-12.
Each of the nine Open champions in 2023 will earn a berth in the 2024 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Toyota when it is held next March on Oklahoma’s Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees. Competitors in the Elite Qualifiers Division are required to fish in each of the nine Opens scheduled in 2023. The top nine in the EQ standings when the season is complete will earn invites to compete in the 2024 Bassmaster Elite Series.
Kerry Terrebonne, of Ponchatoula, La., won the co-angler division with a two-day total of four bass weighing 21-9. He caught three of those bass (19-4 of the total weight) on Thursday when his pro fished in the shallow water he’s accustomed to seeing in south Louisiana. When his Friday pro headed to deeper water, Terrebonne struggled, catching only one bass for 2-5. Still, it was enough to win the division and the $15,754 cash prize that accompanied it.
“That first day was special,” Terrebonne said. “Something in my brain said to throw a Rayburn Red Rat-L-Trap and it was the right call. A 9-6 hit it and that fish won it for me.”
Terrebonne collected an extra $250 for having the Phoenix Boats Big Bass of the Tournament in his division.
Rounding out the Top 5 in the co-angler field are second, Minnesota’s Parker Knudsen, 19-11; third, Oklahoma’s Steven Doolittle, 19-6; fourth, Alabama’s Brenton Godwin, 18-13; and fifth, Florida’s AJ Jones, 18-5.
A total of 139 competitors entered the co-angler division and the Top 40 split just over $54,400 in cash prizes.
The remaining 10 anglers in the derby are scheduled to take off Saturday at 6:45 a.m. CT from Cypress Bend Park. They’ll end there, too, with weigh-in scheduled for 2:45 p.m. CT.
The St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Toledo Bend is being hosted by the Sabine Parish Tourist & Recreation Commission and the Louisiana Office of Tourism.

Alabama’s Blake Hall Leads Day 1 at Epic Baits Stop 3 at Lake Eufaula
Phoenix Boats Pro Catches 22-pound, 2-ounce Limit to Bring 8-ounce Lead into Second Day of Competition Saturday
EUFAULA, Okla. (April 14, 2023) – Pro Blake Hall of Rogersville, Alabama, brought a five-bass limit to the stage weighing 22 pounds, 2 ounces, Friday to take the lead after Day 1 of the MLF Tackle Warehouse Invitational Epic Baits Stop 3 at Lake Eufaula Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches. Hall will bring an 8-ounce lead into Day 2 of the competition, Saturday. Hollister, Missouri’s Cody Spetz caught five bass weighing 21-10 to end the day in second place, while Ron Nelson of Berrien Springs, Michigan, rounds out the top three with five bass weighing 20-4.
The three-day tournament, hosted by the Eufaula Area Chamber of Commerce, features a roster of 150 anglers competing for a top prize of up to $115,000 and an invitation to compete at REDCREST 2024. The full field of 150 anglers will conclude the two-day opening round on Saturday, with only the top 50 pros based on their two-day cumulative weight advancing to Championship Sunday.

Hall started his morning with a 7-pound, 2-ounce, kicker bass and then ground out his limit on a trio of baits to put together his 22-pound, 2-ounce limit.
“I thought I could catch 15 to 18 pounds today if everything went good, but then I caught that big one on my tenth cast, and that obviously helped a lot,” Hall said. “I had caught some fish in my areas during practice – a couple of 3- and 3½-pounders – but I really didn’t know what I had. Of the five that I weighed in, they came off of four different spots.
“It’s little stretches – little rocky points,” Hall continued. “Everything was on rock. And they were shallow – four of them came in less than 2 feet, and one was about 5 feet (deep).”
Hall said that he caught his fish on three different baits – a Bill Lewis MR-6 crankbait, a Bill Lewis SB-57 squarebill crankbait, and a Buckeye Lures jig.
“I’ve still got a few other areas that I never went to – I’m not sure if they’re getting fished or not,” Hall said. “Ron (Nelson) was on one place I wanted to fish, but other than that I got to fish pretty much what I wanted to, today.
“I’ve never been here before, so I really don’t know what to expect for tomorrow. I could have 8 pounds, or I could have 18. I’m just looking forward to getting back out there.”
