Fished the SATT Tournament of Champions out here and got 11th out of 95 boats and won $2,000 of scholarship, we ended up flipping a jig in matted weed clumps by the bank, we did not get many bites, but the ones we got were big, our biggest went 4.6 pounds, did get a couple on a swim jig, but the best bite was on a flipping jig

Flipping off submerged weeds in 3ft of water just off the bank got slow but HUGE bites. Securing 5 pounders in tournament and practice. Key player was black and blue craws with a 1/2 oz flipping weight. Definitely will be going back!

We wrapped up the tournament in third place and caught the majority of our fish in the morning on rocks with weeds. Also mixed in flipping . Later in the day we started punching matted grass up in the shallows, which had a few culls including a six pounder. End of the day with around 25 pounds for seven.

Found fish in really skinny water under overhanging limbs and the backs of docks on frogs. When the bite slowed, flipped a craw tube and senko was the deal.

White BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructureMatted GrassBig Stone was an incredibly tough bite today. Big cold front moved through the night before. Sunny skies and little wind. Weed mats are thick and getting to be pretty choked. Kept to the southern part of the lake as the further north we moved, the worse the algae bloom got. Really struggled to find Largemouth today. Broke out the punchin gear to hunt through weed mats but had little luck. The most prominent fish we caught were white bass. They were after the chatterbait on the outside weed edge. The panfish in the photo went for a wacky rig. Left the legendary lake somewhat disappointed after all the good reports I've heard. That said, I think we were just there on the wrong day.
