Major League Fishing Wraps Production of Wiley X Summit Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches in Palm Bay

Bass Fishing Event Completes Week-Long Television Shoot in Space Coast Area with 24 Pro Anglers Competing to Win Prestigious Summit Cup Championship

PALM BAY, Fla. (Dec. 13, 2021) – Major League Fishing (MLF) and 24 of the world’s best pro anglers wrapped up production of the MLF Wiley X Summit Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches event Saturday in Palm Bay, Florida. The event, shot over six days this week and hosted by Florida’s Space Coast Office of Tourism, was filmed entirely for television broadcast and featured anglers competing for the prestigious Summit Cup championship.

The Space Coast is a familiar destination for MLF, as the East Coast of South Florida played host to the now-defunct 2018 Major League Fishing World Championship, which showcased the top 12 anglers from that season’s MLF Cup events. That event was won by Louisiana’s Greg Hackney. As anglers battled a strong north wind on the final day of competition, Hackney ducked behind a levee on Kenansville Lake’s north end and went to work flipping mats to catch 32 pounds, 6 ounces of largemouth bass and earn the victory. Pro Skeet Reese of Auburn, California, finished fourth in that 2018 event, and was among the 24 competitors that competed again this past week.

The Wiley X Summit Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches event marks the second time that MLF has visited Florida’s Space Coast with an event that showcases the catch, weigh, immediate-release tournament format.

“The Space Coast is a fishing paradise with the availability of freshwater, saltwater, surf, and deep-sea fishing opportunities. We are excited to have Major League Fishing here showing some of our top fishing spots to their viewers including new Headwaters Lake, the local trophy largemouth bass fishery. It’s unlike any other freshwater lake in the U.S.,” said Space Coast Office of Tourism Executive Director Peter Cranis.

The six-episode, two-hour series will feature professional anglers visiting the Space Coast area to compete over six days of competition on either Kenansville Lake (Jurassic Park), Lake Garcia, Stick Marsh, and for the first time ever, Fellsemere Reservoir (Headwaters Lake). The anglers do not learn where they are competing until they arrive to the launch ramp each morning, creating a reality-based television episode that showcases how the top anglers in the world break down new and unfamiliar waters.

“We had such a successful event when we were last here in 2018 that it really made returning for our Summit Cup championship a no-brainer,” said Michael Mulone, Senior Director of Events and Partnerships for MLF. “From the amazing fishing to the beautiful settings and scenery, to the community and people that we work closely with at the Space Coast Office of Tourism – all of them play a huge role in creating a fantastic television program for our national audience. It’s been a great week in Florida and we’re already looking forward to when we return.”

The 24 anglers competing in the 2021 Wiley X Summit Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches are: Stephen Browning, Luke Clausen, Dustin Connell, Brandon Coulter, David Dudley, Paul Elias, Anthony Gagliardi, Alton Jones Jr., Gary Klein, Jason Lambert, Bobby Lane, Russ Lane, Matt Lee, Michael Neal, Skeet Reese, Mark Rose, Fred Roumbanis, Bradley Roy, Fletcher Shryock, Jeff Sprague, Wesley Strader, Bryan Thrift, Jacob Wheeler and Jesse Wiggins.

The MLF Wiley X Summit Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches, hosted by Florida’s Space Coast Office of Tourism, will air on the Outdoor Channel as six, two-hour original episodes each Saturday afternoon starting April 2, 2022, airing from 2 to 4 p.m. EDT.

By Danielle Englund
The BassCast 2021 tournament season came to a close on Saturday with 19 boats fishing for the Classic pot.

Irregular weather patterns, a warm front (it was nearly 70° at weigh-in), and a windy and rainy day made the fishing challenging for even our best anglers.

Alabamian Powell Wins Classic Fish-Off On Lake Eufaula, Earns Berth In Bassmaster Classic

EUFAULA, Ala. — Shane Powell saw the Bassmaster Team Championship and the ensuing Classic Fish-Off as his chance to settle unfinished business.

Now, after watching friends and former Auburn University teammates reach the Bassmaster Classic in previous years, his time has arrived.

Powell won the Bassmaster Classic Fish-Off portion of the Team Championship here on Lake Eufaula Saturday, less than an hour from his lifelong home of Dothan, Ala. His two-day total of 23 pounds, 5 ounces was the best of the six anglers that survived to make the fish-off, and it earned him the final berth in the 2022 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk when it’s held March 4-6 on South Carolina’s Lake Hartwell.

The victory was no easy feat, with heavy rain, dense fog and significant temperature swings throughout. The conditions confounded anglers, from the 378 who competed in the team portion Wednesday and Thursday, to the final six who competed the past two days in the fish-off.

Powell credited a slight warming trend overnight for Saturday’s better catch. He had five-bass limits both days of the fish-off but improved from 10-2 on Day 1 to 13-3 on Day 2.

“I had three or four places I started on every day,” Powell said. “Yesterday, I ran through them all and I had zero keepers. This morning, I ran through the same areas and I had 12 pounds by 7:30 or 7:45.

“A buddy texted me last night and said if it was meant to be, that everything would fall into place. And it did.”

It was that kind of week for Powell, who teamed with Alabama Bass Trail partner Tim Fox to catch 27-4 and finish second in the two-day Bassmaster Team Championship that concluded Thursday. Fishing alone Friday, Powell stitched together enough weight to give himself a 1 1/2-pound lead heading into the final day.

But with five anglers hot on his heels, Powell knew he had to keep the pressure on the field. His knowledge of the lake, not to mention confidence in its ability to produce winning bags, allowed him to do just that.

Powell said most of his bass were caught in approximately 20 feet of water and off the old Chattahoochee River ledges that remain in the Eufaula impoundment.

“The first day or two, we caught them on a Strike King 6XD crankbait,” Powell said. “I went to a morning dawn (pink) drop shot when things got tougher and tougher … It was all largemouth coming off the bottom.”

Powell and Fox won an Alabama Bass Trail tournament on Eufaula in March, and the champion said he’s been eyeing a return to the storied fishery since.

“This was an extremely tough tournament,” Powell said. “But I knew we had to stick with it. Every cast we made this year was about trying to get back here for the Team Championship and into the finals. And If you think of the percentages of all this panning out, it’s crazy.”

Powell said he knows nothing about Lake Hartwell, but he’s heard plenty about fishing in a Bassmaster Classic from former Auburn teammates who’ve participated in pro bass fishing’s biggest event.

Powell relishes the chance to fish in his first Classic, but his even-keeled personality won’t let him get too worked up, now or in March.

“I’m excited,” he said. “But it’s just like this tournament on Eufaula. You go out and do what you do.”

David Lowery, a Milledgeville, Ga., resident representing Berry’s Tournament Trail, also grew up fishing Lake Eufaula. He finished second in the Bassmaster Classic Fish-Off with 18-9 over two days. Randy Tolbert, who paired with Gary Thompson to win the Team Championship on Thursday for the Alabama Bass Trail, placed third in the Fish-Off with 15-8.

Fox finished fourth with 8-12, James Murphy of Berry’s was fifth with 8-9 and Thompson sixth with 4-14.

Tolbert and Thompson caught a two-day total of 28-14 in the team event and claimed a $20,600 cash prize from Ranger/Mercury. A total of 179 tandems representing more than 60 B.A.S.S. team trails from across North America competed for a cash purse of $91,600.

Powell Takes Day 1 Lead In Bassmaster Team Championship Classic Fish-Off

EUFAULA, Ala. — Shane Powell thought it might take a two-day total of 24 pounds to win the Classic Fish-Off portion of the Bassmaster Team Championship.

It might take less.

Powell, who hails from nearby Dothan, Ala., took the Day 1 lead of the fish-off Friday with five bass that totaled 10 pounds, 2 ounces. It certainly wasn’t a heavy load, but it was enough to give him an edge over the other five anglers that advanced to the fish-off portion of the championship on Lake Eufaula on the Alabama-Georgia border.

David Lowery of Milledgeville, Ga., is in second place with four bass weighing 8-9 and Randy Tolbert of Rome, Ga., is third with a five-bass limit of 8-4. Gary Thompson of Dallas, Ga., is fourth with two bass for 4-14, James Murphy of Columbus, Ga., is fifth with three bass weighing 4-6, and Tim Fox of Meridian, Miss., is sixth with one bass for 1-12.

Powell, Tolbert, Thompson and Fox represent the Alabama Bass Trail. Lowery and Murphy fish with Berry’s Tournament Trail. The six anglers were members of the Top 3 tandems in the team competition that ended Thursday, and now they’re battling individually in a two-day showdown for the final spot in the 2022 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk to be held March 4-6 on South Carolina’s Lake Hartwell.

Powell, 32, knows Lake Eufaula as well as anyone, having fished the storied impoundment of the Chattahoochee River since he was a boy. But difficult weather conditions, including temperature swings, fog and heavy rain, have thrown the bass bite for a loop this week. It has left Powell and the rest of the field scratching their heads, wondering when and where the biggest bass bites will occur.

“The way I’ve been fishing, sun would really help me, and we just haven’t had any,” Powell said. “That and the pressure of all the boats out there earlier this week have taken a toll. A lot of people have been fishing the same stuff I am. You catch one, maybe two, and they just leave. Or you just don’t get a bite from the get-go.”

Still, Powell was able to stitch together the heaviest bag on Day 1 of the fish-off. He and Fox paired to finish second in the team portion of the championship, and the former Auburn University angler said the fish-off is anyone’s to win, considering less than 8 1/2 pounds separates first and last place.

“I figured I’d be behind after what I caught today,” Powell said. “I’d much rather that than being in first. But it is what it is. I’ve been rotating through a couple of spots and it doesn’t take me very long to do it. So, I’ve been spending hours looking for something good. I just haven’t found it.”

Lowery has had similar issues. Like Powell, he grew up fishing Eufaula, but the lake has left him guessing this week.

“I had six bites and I caught four of them,” Lowery said. “I had another one that I felt was about a pound and a half, but it pulled off under the water. That would have put me at about 10 1/2 pounds. But I can’t look back. I was just fortunate to catch the ones I did.”

Lowery said he was expecting sun on Friday, so he headed south on Eufaula hoping to throw a jig to boat docks. The sun never broke through the gray blanket overhead, though, and Lowery lamented he didn’t try a different approach.

He said he won’t be as conservative on the final day of the Bassmaster Classic Fish-Off.

“I’m going way up (the lake), almost as far as you can go,” he said. “I’ll either be going to the Classic or I’ll be going home.”

Tolbert teamed with Thompson to catch 28-14 over two days and win the Bassmaster Team Championship on Thursday. Mustering only 8-4 on Friday could have been a disappointment, but he too knows everyone remains in the hunt for the fish-off title.

“No one’s out of this with the weights down,” said Tolbert, who fished the Bassmaster College Series while at the University of Georgia. “Obviously, Shane has set himself apart a little bit because two pounds is a lot right now. But tomorrow is a different day. They may bite better tomorrow, and two pounds may not be a whole lot.”

Tolbert and Thompson already claimed a $20,600 cash prize when they won the team championship. Powell and Fox were second with 27-4 and Lowery and Murphy teamed to finish third with 26-6. In all, a total of 179 tandems from around the U.S. and Canada competed in the team championship, with the Top 35 pairs sharing a total purse of $91,600.

The final day of the fish-off will begin Saturday at 6:15 a.m. CT from Lakepoint State Park. Weigh-in is scheduled for 2:15 p.m. and the final competitor in the 2022 Bassmaster Classic will be known shortly thereafter.

Here is an Expert’s Guide to Winter Bass Fishing by Fresh Baitz

Fishing This Winter?
Here is an Expert’s Guide to Winter Bass Fishing
Bass fishing in the wintertime can give you access to bigger fish and quieter days on the lake. With some general knowledge, it’s also not that difficult.

All you need to do is adjust to the wintertime habits of bass and try your luck at winter fishing. To help you do just that, here is Fresh Baitz’s expert guide to winter bass fishing. We’ll help you figure out what bait to use, when to head out, and where to fish!

What Are You Using?
The Type of Baits for Winter Bass is Essential
Before you set out to bass fish in the winter, remember that the fish’s metabolism is at an all-time low. This means their digestive system can’t handle larger bait, so it’s better to keep it simple. Opt for lightweight bait. A quarter ounce or, at most, three-eighths of an ounce is as heavy as you need, and there’s seldom a reason for bait to exceed three and a half inches in length. 

Some good examples of winter bass bait include the Beetle or Scorpions with the All Purpose Shakey Hook. If you use the Shakey Hook, remember that you don’t need a trailer. A bit of deer hair will work just fine. 

Some people try to go larger, but if you want to get as many bites as possible and increase your odds of catching a big fish, keep it small and light. These guys don’t have their warm weather appetite.

Timing Matters
When to Catch Bass in the Winter
When it comes to wintertime bass fishing, many people think that the afternoon is the only good time to fish. Indeed, the hours between 2 p.m. and sunset are often some of the best hours to fish: The sun has warmed up the water, the baitfish are active, and the bass are moving around. Afternoons are especially good on particularly cold days. 

However, afternoons aren’t your only option. Daylight is also one of the best times to catch bass—smallmouth bass in particular. If you’re out from an hour or so before sunrise until a few minutes after the sun comes up, you’re going to be almost sure to get some bites. 

Location, Location
Where to Find & Catch Bass in the Winter
The number one rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. It’s important to know where the fish like to spend the winter.

Bass like cover, whether that is grass, wood, or docks, but rock fixtures and formations in the water tend to provide good natural cover for them.

How Deep to Fish?
Temperature Isn’t the Only Factor Here
It’s key to remember that depth is relative and how deep you fish all depends on the lake you’re fishing. Some lakes only get ten feet deep, while others are forty or fifty feet deep. If bass like to spend their summers at a depth of ten feet in a given lake, head out to where it gets thirty or forty feet deep. If they spend their summers in three feet of water, head out to where it’s ten feet deep. 

It tends to be helpful to situate your boat near the deeper parts of the lake, but this doesn’t mean you have to be right on top of the deepest part of the body of water. You also have to monitor water clarity. In many ways, clarity is even more important than water warmth, so you may want to consider some innovations in bass fishing like the Humminbird 360 Image Trolling Motor System so you can see the bottom as well as all around your boat for the best fish.    

As a general rule, the dirtier the water, the shallower the baitfish will be. The clearer the water, the deeper the baitfish will be. Bass will follow the baitfish even though they aren’t feeding like they were in the fall or summer. Like everyone else, they just like to be near their food source, and, for this, clarity is a better determinant than water warmth of how deep the bass and the baitfish will swim. 

Feeding Patterns
Know any Fishing Enthusiasts or anyone who needs to fish more?
In the winter, bass turn to much of the same food sources they do at other times of the year; they just eat less of it. Crawfish might go away for the winter, meaning the crawfish baits may work. However, shad or baitfish imitation baits are a safer bet. 

Here’s why: When it gets cold, baitfish have the habit of dying out. They don’t often die out completely, but you will likely see little red fins floating on the service. They can’t take the cold that well. This means that bass will be eager to find and eat more baitfish, making shad and baitfish imitation baits good choices. Umbrella rigs are also a good idea, as they imitate schools of baitfish well.

Winter Bass Fishing Secrets
Know any Fishing Enthusiasts or anyone who needs to fish more?
When you head out fishing in winter, it’s essential to have a realistic set of expectations to know when you’ve actually been successful. If you have realistic expectations, you’ll be able to monitor how you’re doing and not get discouraged. 

Bass don’t bite in the winter like they do in the spring or summertime. On a good day, you may get ten bites. A great day might look like twelve to fifteen bites, with an amazing day being at around twenty bites. 

The average size of the fish tends to be better in the winter. They’ve had all year to get big, and now you can enjoy a larger fish.  

Finally, remember that bass need access to deeper water. This doesn’t mean they need water that’s fifty feet deep: “Deeper” is relative to the body of water in question. 

Final Word
Know any Fishing Enthusiasts or anyone who needs to fish more?
Whether you’re preparing to try your hand at bass fishing for the first time or you want to improve on your growing skillset, this expert guide can help you make the most of your wintertime trip. Remember to select your bait for the slowed digestive system of the bass and head out at daylight or during the afternoon. 

Bear in mind that necessary depth is relative, and that water clarity is, in many ways, even more important than water warmth. Follow the feeding patterns, which also have a lot to do with the temperature and water clarity. Finally, make sure you’ve set realistic expectations. If you do all of these things, you stand a much better chance at a good day of fishing and catching sizable winter bass.

Tolbert, Thompson Win Bassmaster Team Championship On Lake Eufaula; Six Qualify For Classic Fish-Off

EUFAULA, Ala. — Every time a competing team weighed their fish during Thursday’s final round of the Bassmaster Team Championship, Randy Tolbert and Gary Thompson nodded in approval.

“We’re good,” they told one another, knowing their lead remained intact.

Tolbert and Thompson were good until the end on Lake Eufaula, winning the final tournament of the 2021 Bassmaster season with a two-day total of 10 bass that weighed 28 pounds, 14 ounces.

Tolbert and Thompson, who represent the Alabama Bass Trail, earned a $20,600 cash prize provided by Ranger/Mercury. They also advanced to the Bassmaster Classic Fish-Off, a two-day competition starting Friday that will feature the Top 3 tandems (six individual anglers) competing for the final berth in the 2022 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk which is scheduled for March 4-6 on South Carolina’s Lake Hartwell.

“We had one over 4 pounds on both days and that really helped us,” said Tolbert, who fished the Bassmaster College Series while at the University of Georgia. “And out here this week, that’s a big one. We caught quite a few fish both days, but I really didn’t think we had a shot to win. Coming into today, I was thinking the best we could do is make the Top 3. But when these other guys started coming in, knowing what was out there, we knew we could win it.”

Tolbert and Thompson came into Day 2 tied for ninth with 14-1. A 90-minute delay Thursday because of fog didn’t keep them from posting the heaviest bag of the day – a 14-13 limit that vaulted them to the top of the leaderboard. They took the hot seats early in the weigh-in and remained there until the end.

Thompson said winning the team championship, not to mention having a 1-in-6 chance of making the Bassmaster Classic, seemed like a dream.

“It’s very exciting, but I don’t think it’s sunk in yet,” he said. “I’m surprised I was as calm as I was sitting up there.”

Tolbert said he and Thompson have caught their bass offshore in some of Eufaula’s deepest water.

“We’re using our (Lowrance) ActiveTarget and watching the fish eat the bait a lot of times,” Tolbert said. “To watch a fish follow your bait and know when it’s about to eat the bait, it’s a game changer.”

Shane Powell and Tim Fox, also of the Alabama Bass Trail, finished second with 27-4. Powell, who fished for Auburn University, said he and Fox targeted three or four key areas during the team championship. The native of Dothan, Ala., just south of Eufaula, said experience on the lake helped this week. His team was in seventh place after Day 1 with 14-9 and added a 12-11 limit on Day 2.

“You have to hit them at the right time, but you don’t really know when that is,” Powell said. “You just have to rotate through, go try some new stuff. I know eventually something will turn up.”

David Lowery and James Murphy of Berry’s Tournament Trail placed third with 26-6.

Lowery and Murphy also have intimate knowledge of Eufaula, having grown up in the Columbus, Ga./Phenix City, Ala., area just north of Lakepoint State Park, home base for this week’s event. After catching a 15-15 limit on Day 1, the duo caught only three bass Thursday for 10-7.

“We wanted to win it, but Top 3 was the goal,” said Lowery. “I’ll keep flipping jigs and try to go win this thing. I’ve been wanting to fish in the Classic my whole life.”

Each angler in the Top 3 teams qualified for the Bassmaster Classic Fish-Off.

Mark Hogan and Brian La Clair of the Delaware BASS Team Trail won $500 for having the big bass of the tournament — a 6-8 largemouth they hooked Thursday.

Day 1 of the Classic Fish-Off will begin Friday at 6:15 a.m. CT from Lakepoint State Park. Weigh-in is scheduled for 2:15 p.m.

Nichols, Young Take Early Lead In Bassmaster Team Championship On Lake Eufaula

EUFAULA, Ala. — William Nichols and Jake Young grew up together in the small town of Alexandria, Ala., but they shined on the national stage Wednesday during Day 1 of the Bassmaster Team Championship.

Nichols and Young caught a five-bass limit of 17 pounds, 10 ounces to take the lead in the final tournament of the 2021 Bassmaster season. A total of 179 two-person teams representing 62 team trails from around the U.S. and Canada are participating in the championship here on the Alabama/Georgia border.

Nichols and Young represented the Coosa River Team Trail well on Wednesday, with Nichols hooking a pair of 4-8 largemouth bass to anchor the day’s heaviest bag.

“The first (4-8 bass) came in a flurry in the morning when the front was moving in,” said Nichols, 23. “We had a limit by about 7:30 a.m. but everything just stopped. Then at about 11 o’clock, we got that second 4-8, probably about 2 miles from where we caught the first one. We didn’t have many bites today, but we caught all of them.”

Young, 21, said he was pleased his teammate had the hot hand.

“I had to be the net man on both of the big catches and I was fine with that,” he said, laughing. “Hopefully we can duplicate tomorrow what we did today.”

Young said he and Nichols caught their limit on a variety of lures.

“We used pretty much everything but the kitchen sink,” Young said.

Nichols and Young were the ninth boat to take off Wednesday and steady rain wasn’t far behind — though skies did clear by midday. They’ll be 171st of 179 teams to begin fishing Thursday, and they said they aren’t sure if the later draw will prevent them from taking advantage of an early bite.

“It’s supposed to be a bit cooler than it was today,” Nichols said. “It may affect our (strategy) a little bit tomorrow. But if you can get six or seven bites here, you should have a good bag. That’s what we’ll try to do.”

David Lowery and James Murphy grew up in the nearby Columbus, Ga./Phenix City, Ala., area, so they have experience on Lake Eufaula. They used their knowledge of the fishery to catch a 15-15 limit of largemouth bass, good enough for second place.

Lowery, who now resides in Milledgeville, Ga., said he and Murphy flipped jigs along Eufaula’s shorelines to start the tournament and likely will do the same on Day 2. They’re representing Berry’s Tournament Trail in the championship.

“I team-tournament fished with my dad down here all my life,” Murphy said. “It helped me in practice. They’ve been spraying the lake to kill the hydrilla the past few years, so it’s a bit different now. I used the same bait, but it was harder for me to catch them.”

Kentucky’s Charles and Ethan Caudill of the National Team Bass Association (NTBA) are in third place with a limit of 15-12. They’re joined in the Top 5 by Arkansas’ Josh and Donald Wray of the Ozark Mountain Trail, who are in fourth place with 15-11, and Kentucky’s Nick Ratliff and Bradley Dunagan of NTBA in fifth place with 14-15.

Ratliff and Dunagan caught the heaviest bass — a 6-pounder that gave them the early lead for the $500 prize awarded for biggest fish of the tournament. The former Campbellsville University anglers have shared success before, finishing second in the 2018 Bassmaster College Series National Championship on Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma. Ratliff came back a few weeks later to win that year’s Bassmaster College Classic Bracket on Milford Lake in Kansas and finished 41st in the 2019 Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee River in Knoxville.

The leading duo after Day 2 of this week’s Team Championship will claim a $20,600 cash prize provided by Ranger/Mercury, part of a $91,600 total purse that will be divvied among the Top 35 teams.

The Top 3 teams (six anglers) also will advance to the Bassmaster Classic Fish-Off portion of the championship. They’ll have their team weights zeroed and they’ll fish individually on Friday and Saturday with the leader clinching the final spot in the 2022 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk. The Classic will be held March 4-6 on South Carolina’s Lake Hartwell.

Day 2 of the Bassmaster Team Championship will begin at 6:15 a.m. CT from Lakepoint State Park Marina. Weigh-in is scheduled for 2:15 p.m. at Lakepoint.

The Eufaula-Barbour County Chamber of Commerce is hosting the Bassmaster Team Championship and Bassmaster Classic Fish-Off.
