Caught tons of fish with a ned rig but a lot of small ones. Of course the ole wacky rig senko landed my buddy a 4.39 right at end of tournament! She was either making a bed or sitting on it already. Caught right before dark!

Caught a ton of fish tonight. Smallies were sitting on rocks and were hitting the drop shot with the half shell hard. The big fish of the night came off a senko and the corner of a dock. Had to find that cleaner water. This fish won me big bass for the night!
