The KidBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureMatted GrassHad a blast practicing for upcoming tourney. Found around grass on Texas rigged mag II zoom worms mega bass spinner baits did the job as well. If you watch Jason Christie’s videos on FF minnow “it catches everything” he’s not lying I caught large mouth around grass, smallies on ledges. I saw something strangely big on live scope casted at it and it was on stripping drag jumping the whole 9 ended up being an over 4’ long nose gar not exactly what I was after but me and the kid had a blast with it. If you don’t have any FF minnows rest assure Omnia does get them before I buy all the stick up and keep for myself.

Ripping cranks through the grass allowed a reaction bite for a very slow pickwick lake.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonSummerStructureFlooded BrushFished the High School World Championship on Pickwick Lake. Conditions were absolutely miserable, as the TVA was pulling almost zero current throughout the tournament. In other words, fishing was not good. I was able to scrounge up a few bites, including this 6lb 8oz traffic cone shaped bass. I caught her in 20ft in a flooded cypress field. It's super important to keep these fish healthy and comfortable in the livewell because the water is so warm. Make sure to use ice and G-juice!
Mike JonesBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureLedgesFished Villans and Vets Bass Tournament and caught most of the fish on ledges from JP Coleman to the mouth of Yellow Creek. Early part of the day, could only get them to bite drop shot and some Carolina rig. Mid-day, they started chasing deep diving crankbaits. Others in the tournament reported catching bass early in the back of coves or pockets with grass.
