Consistency Keeps Chris Johnston in the Lead at the TAA Event on Lake Lanier

Gainesville, GA (April 3, 2024) – Forty-seven top level anglers continued to battle it out on Lake Lanier for thenewly formed Touring Anglers Association (TAA) inaugural tournament. Sight fishing dominated the event on Day1, but Mother Nature made it tougher on most of the field on Day 2. Although overnight storms, and strong winds
affected a good portion of the lake on Wednesday; Bassmaster Elite Series Pro, Chris Johnston, was able to widen his lead with 24.13 lbs.According to Johnston, “It was another great day on Lanier, but today I was able to get a BIG fish to go with myothers.” The big fish he referred to was actually the Big Bass of the tournament, at 8.11 lbs., netting him a $5,000 bonus for the largest bass caught by the full field of competitors. Johnston’s total is now 48.88 lbs., giving him over a six and half pound lead on fellow Elite Series Pro, Drew Cook of Georgia.

Cook was able to climb from 6 th place, to second, with the day’s second heaviest bag at 21.59 lbs. and a total of 42.33 lbs. Drew, like many of his competitors spent the day shallow and using his eyes to his advantage. “I was able to cover a lot of water looking specifically for those big females and I was able to run into a few today. I’ve also found a few more for tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to getting back out there,” added Cook.


Major League Fishing Pro, Jared Lintner had a tougher Day 2, dropping a spot to third place, but still within ounces of Cook and well within reach of the top, with a total of 42 lbs. According to Lintner, “My fish moved in behind a lot of bushes and I had a blast cracking those big fish and dragging them out of all that cover!”

1. Chris Johnston 48.88 lbs. 7. Rob Jordan 38.84 lbs.

Big kicker lifts Johnson to Day 1 lead at B.A.S.S. Nation Qualifier at Arkansas River

Muskogee, Okla. —  Persevering an agonizingly slow start, Chris Johnson kept his head in the game until favorable conditions allowed him to sack up a five-bass limit of 19 pounds, 6 ounces to lead Day 1 of the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Qualifier at the Arkansas River presented by Lowrance.

Hailing from Farmington, Ark., Johnson anchored his leading catch with a hulking largemouth that weighed 5-15. He heads into the second round with a lead of 1-5 over Jeff Clark of Van Buren, Ark.

“That big fish helped massively,” Johnson said. “That’s a total gift on this river.

“I only caught five fish today. I had three others that were in the 3-pound class and one that was right at 15 inches.”

Johnson said he caught his big fish at noon. Prior to that he had a few missed bites; a frustration he attributes to the shivering, windy morning. Improving weather and river hydrology got things moving in the right direction.

“I think a lot of it had to do with the river began to rise midday and the sunshine — that made it happen,” Johnson said. “It was cold this morning; about 45 degrees at takeoff. All the fish came from noon on.”

Noting that he was targeting prespawn bass, Johnson said he struggled with the day’s blustery conditions.

“I really fought the wind all day long,” Johnson said. “I had to fish really, really slowly. I think these fish are trying to move up to spawn and it was hard to hold my boat in position to fish for them.”

Johnson said he fished a few miles upriver from takeoff and fished something he described as unique in that region of the river. He basically targeted main-river structure — classic prespawn staging spots in 1 to 3 1/2 feet of water — but his specific zone comprised something with distinct appeal.

Johnson said the area where he caught his bass is something of an anomaly, so he opted to keep the details guarded.

Johnson said his big fish was his first catch. That bass, he said, brought a lightbulb moment.

“I got into a little area, and caught that big one and then three others pretty quickly,” he said. “It was just grinding all day, but once I got that bite, it clued me in on what I needed to be doing.

“I was catching them on a bait I like to use back home. The key was slow, methodical presentations.”

Johnson said his ideal Day 2 game plan would find him right back where he took the first-round lead. However, he realizes he may need to consider his options.

“I’m really concerned with pressure tomorrow,” Johnson said. “A lot of the anglers aren’t going to want to go to Kerr Reservoir tomorrow, especially if they didn’t do well there today.

“Unfortunately, this area of the river doesn’t have many spots like the one I’m fishing and it can’t handle much pressure. You can’t put three boats in there. That may be a major factor.”

Clark is in second place with 18-1, and Hunter Litchfield of Macomb, Ill., is in third with 17-11.

Johnson is in the lead for Big Bass with his 5-15.

Kevin Turner of Sand Springs, Okla., leads the co-angler division with 11-12.     

Mike Estrada of Belen, N.M., holds the Big Bass lead among co-anglers with a 4-14.

In the second qualifying event in the new B.A.S.S. Nation format, the Top 20 anglers will qualify for the 2024 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship presented by Lowrance, scheduled for Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees in Grove, Okla., Nov. 6-8.

Thursday’s takeoff is scheduled for 7 a.m. CT at Three Forks Harbor. The weigh-in will be held at the harbor at 3 p.m.

The tournament is being hosted by Visit Muskogee.

April 2024 Kerr Lake Fishing Report by Captain Rick Morris

RICKMORRIS.COM

Bass fishing on Lake Gaston and Kerr Lake in April can be hit or miss considering all the variables like muddy water, cold fronts, wind and changing water levels. Water temperatures have been hovering close to 60° or more some days and Fishing has been mostly good 👍🎣Fish are staged in the creek arms and the pockets getting ready for the spawn so cover some water using bladed jigs crank baits and #WarEagleSpinnerBaits.

The next full moon is April 23 and I’m sure the dogwood trees will be in full bloom by then? A sure sign that the Bass will be on the beds🇺🇸🎣🤔so the last week or two of April with the fish bedding it’ll be time to slow down with all the usual Plastic techniques like Wacky rig,Neko rig, Carolina rig and good old shakey head worms. Remember on windy days. Try some power fishing when it’s dead calm still and sunny you’re just gonna need the slowdown. Book an instructional bass fishing trip or multi species Family/group charter on my state of the art fishing pontoon with #CaptRickMorris🇺🇸🎣. @RickMorrisFishing.Com, @MercuryMarine.com, #Goboldly, #Power-Pole, #GammaFishing, #Lowrance, #FalconBassBoats, #WarEagleLures, #Costa, #LewsFishing, #RPMCustomRods.

The team of Lloyd Sanderlin and John Sanderlin were able to figure them out around midday and secure the win with a 5 fish limit weighing 17.83 lbs anchored by a 5.55 lb big fish good enough for a $2450 payday!!
Wayne Hayes and Andy Morath wrapped up second place with a limit weighing 14.14 lbs

MLF Bass Pro Tour PowerStop Brakes Stage Three Presented by Mercury Set for Dale Hollow Lake

MLF Bass Pro Tour PowerStop Brakes Stage Three Presented by Mercury Set for Dale Hollow Lake

BYRDSTOWN, Tenn. (April 3, 2024) – The Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour is set to visit Dale Hollow Lake in Byrdstown, Tennessee, next week, April 9-14, for the third event of the 2024 season – the PowerStop Brakes Stage Three at Dale Hollow Lake Presented by Mercury.

The six-day tournament, hosted by the Byrdstown-Pickett County Chamber of Commerce & Bill Dance Signature Lakes, will feature a field of 79 professional anglers, including two-time REDCREST Champion Dustin Connell of Clanton, Alabama (2021 & 2024) and Tennessee superstars like Ott DeFoe of Blaine, Tennessee,  Jacob Wheeler of Harrison, Tennessee, and reigning Angler of the Year (AOY) Matt Becker of Ten Mile, Tennessee. They’ll be competing for a purse of $659,000, including a top payout of $100,000 and valuable Angler of the Year (AOY) points in hopes of qualifying for the General Tire Heavy Hitters all-star event and REDCREST 2025, the Bass Pro Tour championship.

“On behalf of the Byrdstown-Pickett County Chamber of Commerce, Pickett County Government and the Town of Byrdstown, we are very proud and excited to host the upcoming MLF Bass Pro Tour tournament April 9-14,” said Billy K. Robbins, Executive Director of Byrdstown-Pickett County Chamber of Commerce. “We hope it will be a very successful event for the anglers and a great introduction for all the people visiting to be able to experience our community first-hand.”
 
The tournament will feature the MLF catch, weigh, immediate-release format, in which anglers catch as much weight as they can each day, while also feeling the pressure and intensity of the SCORETRACKER® leaderboard. The tournament is being filmed for broadcast later this year on Discovery.

“We’re excited to welcome Major League Fishing’s Bass Pro Tour to legendary Dale Hollow Lake, Tennessee,” said Dennis Tumlin, Chief Customer Officer at Tennessee Department of Tourist Development. “The timing for this event is perfect to showcase what an amazing fishery we have, and we believe it will show why Dale Hollow was recently named one of Tennessee’s 14 Bill Dance Signature Lakes. If you’re looking for a legendary fishing trip, endorsed by Mr. Bill Dance himself, we hope that you too will make time to come experience Tennessee’s Dale Hollow Lake for yourself.”

Spring City, Tennessee pro Wesley Strader said he’s fished Dale Hollow Lake his entire life, and it’s one of the “hidden gems” in the state of Tennessee.

“Dale Hollow is noted for its world-class smallmouth fishing,” said Strader, “But about 15 years ago some really good largemouth started setting in as well, so we can expect to see a lot of mixed bags of smallmouth and largemouth in this event.

“It’s been one of the best lakes in Tennessee for the past several years, as far as catching a lot of bass, and heavy weights,” Strader continued. “The largemouth are what has impressed me the last few years. Guys have been catching over 20-pound-bags of largemouth in the spring and in the fall.”

Strader said he expects to see some bass trying to come up to spawn during the event, but figures there will be a lot still waiting and in transition.

“It’s kind of a question as to how this thing is going to be won,” said Strader. “I’m not sure if ‘scoping will come into play or not, but it should be a really good tournament.

“I expect to see a lot of topwater baits, swimbaits, trick worms, drop-shot rigs, and typical smallmouth baits, as well as shaky heads and jigs to target largemouth – just your typical springtime players.”

Strader said he feels the event can be won anywhere on the fishery.

“Some sections may turn on more quickly than others, but it can definitely be won anywhere on the lake,” Strader explained. “I’ve never fished all you can catch there, so it’s hard to say how many fish can actually be brought in per day.

“I know Becker won a BFL tournament there with over 22 pounds, and 50th place was 17 pounds in a five-bass-limit event, so the weights should be pretty heavy. I’m going to guess it will take a solid 50 pounds to make it through to the next round.”

Although the fishery has hosted numerous MLF bass tournaments over the years, this event will mark the first time that the MLF top circuit – the Bass Pro Tour – has visited Dale Hollow Lake.

“I’m really excited to see this format go to a lake like this,” said Strader. “With the slot limit for smallmouth, this is a unique event. Typically, smallmouth would be out of play due to the slot limit, but with this format, and the 2-pound minimum for scoreable bass, the smallmouth will definitely be in play.”

Anglers will launch at 7:30 a.m. CT each day from Sunset Marina and Resort, located at 2040 Sunset Dock Road in Monroe. Each day’s General Tire Takeout will be held at the park, beginning at 4 p.m. Fans are welcome to attend all launch and takeout events and also encouraged to follow the event online throughout the day on the MLFNOW!® live stream and SCORETRACKER® coverage at  MajorLeagueFishing.com.

On Saturday and Sunday, April 13-14, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. MLF welcomes fans of all ages to visit Sunset Marina and Resort for the MLF Watch Party. Fans can watch the pros live on the MLFNOW! big screen, enjoy free food, enter to win hourly giveaways and cheer on their favorite pros. The first 50 kids 14 and under will receive a free rod and reel from Pure Fishing each day. The final 10 Championship Round Bass Pro Tour anglers will be on hand at the trophy celebration on Championship Sunday to meet and greet fans, sign autographs and take selfies.

The PowerStop Brakes Stage Three at Dale Hollow Lake Presented by Mercury will feature anglers competing with a 2-pound minimum weight requirement for a bass to be deemed scorable. The MLF Fisheries Management Division determines minimum weights for each body of water that the Bass Pro Tour visits, based on the productivity, bass population and anticipated average size of fish in each fishery.

The Bass Pro Tour features a field of 79 of the top professional anglers in the world, competing across seven regular-season tournaments around the country, for millions of dollars and valuable points to qualify for the annual General Tire Heavy Hitters all-star event and the REDCREST 2025 championship.

The 40 Anglers in Group A compete in their two-day Qualifying Round on Tuesday and Thursday – the 39 anglers in Group B on Wednesday and Friday. After each two-day Qualifying Round is complete, the anglers that finish first through 10th from both groups advance to Saturday’s Knockout Round. In the Knockout Round, weights are zeroed, and the remaining 20 anglers compete to finish in the top 10 to advance to Sunday’s Championship Round. In the final-day Championship Round, weights are zeroed, and the highest one-day total wins the top prize of $100,000.

The MLFNOW!® broadcast team of Chad McKee and J.T. Kenney will break down the extended action live on the final four days of competition from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT. MLFNOW!®  will be live streamed on MajorLeagueFishing.com and the MyOutdoorTV (MOTV) app.

Television coverage of the PowerStop Brakes Stage Three at Dale Hollow Lake Presented by Mercury Knockout Round will air as a two-hour episode starting at 7 a.m. ET, on Saturday, Oct. 5 on Discovery, with the Championship Round premiering on Oct. 6. New MLF episodes premiere each Saturday morning on Discovery, with re-airings on Outdoor Channel.

Chris Johnston Leads the Inaugural Touring Anglers Association Event on Lake Lanier

Gainesville, GA (April 2, 2024) – Forty-seven top level anglers convened on Lake Lanier for the newly formed Touring Anglers Association (TAA) inaugural tournament.  After nothing more than a four hour “ride around” practice period, Chris Johnston, Bassmaster Elite Series Pro, came out on top with an impressive 5 fish limit weighing 24.75 lbs.  Johnston wasn’t ready to give up all the details, but his impressive bag came shallow with key fish bites flipping some “light stuff” and throwing a swimbait.  Right on Johnston’s heels is Major League Fishing Pro, Jared Lintner, with an equally impressive 24.73 lbs.  Lintner found success early, stopping on the biggest bass he seen in practice and adding it to his limit right out of the gate.  His 7.41 lbs. kicker anchored his bag and was good for the Daily Big Bass and positioned him right near the top of the leaderboard.

Sight fishing dominated Day 1, but storms are forecasted for the area Tuesday night, and Wednesday’s forecast isn’t exactly ideal for those who are “looking” for big fish.  The Top 8 anglers all cracked the 20-pound mark, and the Top 12, after Day 2, will move on to the Final Round on Thursday.  The Top 12 is currently rounded out by Allen Armour, who weighed a 5 bass limit for 19.00.  With several fish in the 5-to-7-pound range weighed on Day 1, anglers have an opportunity to make up a lot of ground with a good Day 2.  Full results of Day 1 can be found at: https://touringanglersassociation.com/leaderboard/

Anglers are expected to take off each morning at 7 am EST and they are due to check in at 3 pm EST, with the weigh-in and live stream to follow. Those who make the final day will have an observer, which can include an eliminated competitor, in the boat with them throughout Thursday’s final day.

Although there will be no live coverage from the water, Bass365, has collaborated with key industry media partners to make sure fans can see the weigh-ins of this historic event. 

Bass365 has called on AnglersChannel.com, AdvancedAngler.com, as well as the Fish North Georgia Facebook Group to assist in broadcasting the live stream of the daily weigh-ins to over 180,000 possible viewers.  Each Facebook page will be hosting the stream on all three days of competition.  Collectively across all social platforms, this group has the ability to reach over a quarter of a million fans of fishing for this inaugural event.

About TAA:

TAA is focused on a limited technology, high-stakes event, with low overhead and 100% payback, similar to the local “derbies” many fans of fishing are longing for.  The entry fee is $5,000 and the competition is stout, with many Bassmaster and Major League Fishing touring pros, as well as local aces, going head-to-head for a six-figure payday.  More details can be found at: https://touringanglersassociation.com/

Bassmaster and Marathon extend partnership for 2024 season

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — B.A.S.S. and Marathon, the retail brand of Ohio-based Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC), with more than 6,000 stations nationwide, have announced the extension of their relationship for the 2024 season, officials announced today. The brand will continue to serve as the title sponsor for Bassmaster Studios and as a supporting sponsor for the Bassmaster Tournament Trail.

“We couldn’t be more excited to extend our sponsorship with B.A.S.S., a partnership that continues to be a win-win for both brands,” said Amber Metzgar, Brand Marketing & Performance Manager at Marathon Petroleum. “We look forward to the upcoming tournament season, which brings together some of the world’s best anglers.”

As a supporting sponsor of the Bassmaster Tournament Trail, Marathon will be heavily featured during the award-winning Bassmaster LIVE show. The show, which is broadcast on FS1 and streamed on Bassmaster.com and the FOX Sports digital platforms, is hosted from the Marathon Bassmaster Studios.

Additionally, Marathon will enjoy exposure in Bassmaster and B.A.S.S. Times magazines and across various social media platforms. Among the Marathon-sponsored content will be “Peak Performance” interviews, which will focus on the pros’ winning ways and aim to help anglers of all levels improve their own techniques.

“We are proud to continue to grow our partnership with Marathon,” said B.A.S.S. CEO Chase Anderson. “It’s a natural fit for both parties, and anglers and fans alike find confidence in the Marathon brand and retail outlets while on the road traveling to their favorite fishing destinations.”

PowerStop Brakes Renews MLF Sponsorship, Assumes Title Sponsorship of Bass Pro Tour Stage Three at Dale Hollow Lake

BENTON, Ky. (April 2, 2024) – PowerStop Brakes, the leading brand in performance braking systems since 1995, will be the official title sponsor of the Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour event at Dale Hollow Lake next week. The MLF Bass Pro Tour PowerStop Stage Three at Dale Hollow Lake Presented by Mercury will take place April 9-14 in Byrdstown, Tennessee.

“PowerStop Brakes is proud to be a sponsor of Major League Fishing for another year,” said Jake Walenga,  Marketing Manager of PowerStop. “Anglers need to tow their boats to lakes across the country, and it’s extremely important for them to have durable stopping power they can rely on. We are excited to be the Title Sponsor of Stage Three at Dale Hollow Lake in Byrdstown, Tennessee, and continue to support what has been an already great 2024 season so far.”

The event at Dale Hollow Lake will be the third of seven stops on the 2024 Bass Pro Tour. The fishery is a familiar destination for MLF – the organization has held nearly 60 tournaments across its six tournament circuits on the lake in the last 25 years. However, this will be the first time that the Bass Pro Tour, MLF’s premier circuit, will visit the fishery. The Bass Pro Tour features anglers competing using the MLF catch, weigh, immediate-release format, in which anglers catch as much weight as they can each day, while also feeling the pressure and intensity of the SCORETRACKER® leaderboard.

In addition to its sponsorship of MLF, PowerStop will also continue to sponsor Bass Pro Tour angler Edwin Evers of Talala, Oklahoma. Evers is one of the most accomplished anglers in MLF history, with more than $4 million in career earnings and 13 career victories.
