I fished the City Auto Glass Bass Classic out here on September 15 with my older brother. We got 16th place out of 52. Every one of out keepers came on different baits beside 2 were on a Minnesota rig. Our main area had somebody on it so we had to run all of our secondary spots and still caught 22.5 pounds. I did catch my PB on a chatterbait during the tournament that went 5.15 pounds. It was a good day of fishing and can't wait to do it again next year!!

Had the City Auto Glass derb out here and caught 22.65 for the day. We did just about everything this day. Caught big ones shallow throwing a rigs and chatterbaits and big ones in 18 feet on stupid finesse drop shots. There was no in between for me this tournament. It was either big reaction baits or TINY dropshot baits. A big thing out here is finding baits that they aren't scared of when they drop in front of their face. You will cycle through 10+ baits/combos before you find the right one. That tatula drop shot rod has become my favorite drop shot rod after only using it for 5 days, it seriously is that nice for it.
