Bass fishing across the States is heating up right on cue, and the latest headlines are giving anglers plenty to talk about. According to Westernbass.com, Darren Nunley landed a new largemouth bass lake record in Nickajack Reservoir on February 28, tipping the scales at 15 pounds, 7 and a half ounces and stretching 27 and 7 eighths inches. That is the kind of fish that makes a grown bass head shake and reach for the net a little faster. Down in Tennessee, Pickwick Lake is getting a lot of attention, and not just from weekend anglers. The Collegiate Bass Championship says 220 of college fishing’s best teams are about to hit the water there for the 2026 event, and that usually means one thing: serious post spawn action. Pickwick has long been one of those classic Tennessee River fisheries where current, ledges, and shifting baitfish can make for a wide open bite if you find the right stretch. For anglers looking ahead and trying to pattern the bite, BassForecast is pushing its 10 day outlook tool, which is useful this time of year when bass can go from shallow and aggressive to spooky and suspended in a hurry. That late spring window is prime time in a lot of U.S. waters, especially around moving water, grass lines, and rocky transition banks where fish are feeding hard after the spawn. And there is plenty of tournament buzz adding fuel to the fire. Major League Fishing has been making noise with Heavy Hitters coverage, and that always keeps attention on where the big ones are showing up and how the pros are catching them. Meanwhile, Texas Team Trail says Lake Ray Roberts is officially a trailering event, which tells you the bite and conditions are active enough that organizers are adjusting strategy around the fish and the field. That kind of move usually means anglers will be roaming farther and covering more water to stay on the fish. If you like chasing bass the way some folks chase trout, there is something especially fun about this stretch of the season. The fish are in transition, the big ones are finally hungry, and the action can turn on fast in places like Nickajack, Pickwick, Ray Roberts, and other productive Southern reservoirs. Across the country, teams, pros, and local sticks are all trying to crack the same code: find the bait, find the current, and stay with the healthiest water. So whether you are chucking a jig, dragging a worm, or tossing a fly-style lure game at them, now is a great time to get out there and keep your eyes open for those bigger post spawn bass sliding back into feed mode.

For more http://www.quietplease.ai Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta 192 This is Artificial Lure, your slightly over-caffeinated bass-obsessed AI, checking in with the latest from the U.S. bass world. Let’s start in Florida, where the big sticks on the Bass Pro Tour are hammering ‘em at Kubota Heavy Hitters on the Harris Chain. Major League Fishing reports that in Group B qualifying, Dave Lefebre bounced back from a slow start and sacked four bass over 5 pounds in one day, stacking up over 33 pounds on just seven scorable fish. That’s the kind of flurry that makes you rethink going to work and reach for the boat keys. Same event, different day: MLF’s MLFNOW livestream has been showing how offshore grass edges and subtle shell bars are playing, with guys yo-yoing big swimbaits and punching mats when the Florida sun gets high. If you’re a fly angler, file that away: those outside grass lines and current seams are exactly where you can slide in with a sinking line and a bulky deer-hair baitfish and poach some of that glory without ever touching a baitcaster. Looking ahead, the tournament trail is setting up a pretty tasty summer and fall. Major League Fishing already has the 2026 Bass Pro Tour schedule rolling out with Stage 6 on Grand Lake in Oklahoma and Stage 7 on Lake Erie out of Sandusky, Ohio. Grand is classic Midwest-south transition water: docks, rock, brush, and a shad buffet. Perfect playground for anyone who likes to pick structure apart, and yes, you can absolutely skip a big articulated streamer under docks just like a jig. On the flip side, Erie is smallmouth heaven. When the tour lands there, expect 4- to 6-pound brown bass to show up on live coverage, and note how many pros lean on finesse: drop shots, tight-line swimbaits, and long casts over rock humps. That’s basically “smallmouth streamer fishing” with different hardware. Speaking of brown bass, Midwest Outdoors reports a strong Midwest showing at the 2026 Bassmaster Classic in Knoxville. Those northern anglers keep proving that Great Lakes and river smallmouth skills transfer just fine to southern reservoirs. If you’re a trout or steelhead fly fan, that should sound familiar: reading current seams, targeting eddies, and hitting pre-spawn travel lanes is the same mental game, just with heavier tippet and more violent takes. Coast to coast, regional reports are lighting up. Goose Hummock Shops on Cape Cod say their latest reports have sea bass and other salt species chewing, and while that’s not largemouth, it’s more proof that “bass” of all flavors are in a pretty good mood right now. On the opposite side of the map, SoCal and San Diego bass forums are buzzing with chatter about postspawn bass sliding to deeper rock and offshore grass, a great time to slow-roll a baitfish pattern on a full-sink fly line and count it down like you’re fishing a swimbait. Up the food chain in the amateur and developmental scene, Bassmaster highlights anglers like Oklahoma’s Kollin Crawford taking the Division 2 Angler of the Year lead in the Opens. That’s the grindy, blue-collar side of the sport where guys drag their boats all over the country for a shot at the Elite Series. If you’re the type who’ll drive three hours to fish a sketchy ramp because you heard there’s a rumor of 6-pounders, these are your people. Big picture, the sport’s in a cool place: more live coverage, more tech, and more crossover anglers. You’re seeing fly folks sneaking into bass tournaments and bass guys hiring fly guides on their off days to figure out how to match the hatch when shad or blueback herring get picky. The lines between “fly angler” and “gear head” keep getting blurrier, and that’s good news for anyone who just wants to feel a bass yank back. That’s all from Artificial Lure for now.

If you're a fly rod diehard like me, dreamin' of delicate presentations on trout streams, bass chasin' will wake you up—those hawgs hit like freight trains, no finesse required. Let's dive into the fresh action as of late April 2026. First off, monster striped bass are stormin' the Northeast coast. Matt Haeffner and Johnny McIntyre's Striper Migration Report from April 28 says a big wave of hefty bass rolled into New Jersey last week, with fresh migrants hittin' southern Massachusetts. Surf spots from Maryland to Long Island are firin' up thanks to warmer water and that full moon on May 1—expect Long Island Sound and Long Beach Island to explode on clams and paddle tails when they're pushin' bunker on top. Pure chaos, locals only know the sweet honey holes. Down South, largemouth are post-spawn and hungry. Kentucky Lake's April 28 report notes smallmouth spawn windin' down but plenty of big largemouth still shallow and willin'. Lake Sutton in North Carolina saw solid post-spawn bites in early March, per River Bass TV, and Lake Powell's spring smallies are on fire too, accordin' to Hooked on Outdoors. Ozarks? Tough sleddin' April 27, but that's bass fishin'—one flip of a jig changes everything. Hot spots screamin' right now: Chickamauga Lake in Tennessee hosts the Bill Dance Giant Bass Open May 2-3. Chattanooga CW reports it's amateur-only, big bass format—no need for a limit, just one pig for a Bass Tracker boat worth $19K or $50K in hourly cash. Payouts every hour down to 10th place, youth too. Lake Guntersville, Sam Rayburn, Toledo Bend, and Fork are stacked with Big Bass Splash tourneys through summer, says Sealy Outdoors—Toledo Bend May 15-17 looks prime. Notable catches? That NJ striper surge has surfcasters haulin' bruisers, and Chickamauga's primed for a record hog this weekend. Keep an eye—MLF's Bass Pro Tour hits Beaver Lake soon, and REDCREST highlights from April show the pros dukin' it out. Bass world's boilin', fellas—grab the gear, hit the water before the crowds.

Artificial Lure here, and boy do we have some exciting happenings in the bass fishing world this week. Let's kick things off with some recent tournament action. Skip Howell from Okolona, Mississippi just landed his first career victory at the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League event on Center Hill Lake in Tennessee. The guy brought five bass to the scale weighing eighteen pounds and six ounces, which earned him nearly three grand and some serious bragging rights. According to Major League Fishing, Howell also snagged the Berkley Big Bass Boater award with a four-pound ten-ounce beauty worth two hundred bucks. Not too shabby for a first-time winner. Over in North Carolina, Christopher Decker from Dublin, Virginia made his own mark by winning the Phoenix Bass Fishing League event on Kerr Lake. Decker hauled in five bass totaling fifteen pounds and ten ounces, pocketing over three thousand dollars for his efforts. These wins show that the spring season is absolutely firing right now across multiple divisions. Speaking of spring action, the 2026 Bassmaster Opens are in full swing. According to Bassmaster, we're seeing some competitive fishing with anglers battling for position in the division standings. The Opens are showcasing talent across the country, and if you're looking to get inspired or pick up some techniques, these tournaments are worth watching. Now, if you're thinking about where to wet a line yourself, there are some fantastic tournaments and fishing opportunities popping up. The Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash events are hitting various prime locations throughout the season. Lake Toledo Bend in Louisiana is coming up mid-May, Lake Fork in Texas has events scheduled for September, and if you missed the Lake Guntersville event in Alabama back in March, there's still plenty of action happening at other venues. For those of you who appreciate the technical side of things, the Bass Pro Tour is heading to Beaver Lake for the REDCREST Championship. According to Major League Fishing, this is the first time in nearly a decade that Beaver Lake is returning to the top level of tournament fishing, so you know the bass fishing community is buzzing about this one. The beauty of bass fishing right now is that spring is absolutely prime time. Water temperatures are rising, bass are moving shallow, and they're feeding aggressively. Whether you're targeting smallmouth or largemouth, the conditions are nearly perfect. The tournaments happening across the country from Tennessee to North Carolina to Texas show that bass are biting everywhere, and the variety of catch weights tells us there's plenty of quality fish to be had. What's really cool about watching these tournaments is how they reveal what's working. These anglers are using everything from traditional techniques to modern tactics, and their success is a roadmap for folks like us who just want to catch some fish and have fun o This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Andrew Rickman just straight-up demolished the B.A.S.S. Nation record at Toledo Bend Reservoir in Louisiana. Anglers Channel reports this 24-year-old Texan hauled 15 bass totaling 95 pounds, 15 ounces over three days—shatterin' the old mark. Day two alone? A personal-best limit at 34 pounds, 2 ounces. He pocketed $11k and a ticket to next year's nationals. Toledo Bend's the hot spot, y'all—deep ledges and that Louisiana tea water holdin' giants. If you're road-trippin' south, hit it now before summer heats up. Up in Missouri, Jacob Wheeler finally nabbed his first REDCREST crown with Major League Fishing, after seven tries. The man's a machine, pushin' back on sonar haters sayin' it's all skill, not tech—Sports Illustrated backs him on that. Gallery shots show bags that'd make your fly rod weep. Kentucky's poppin' too—Trigg County's Schrock and King, seventh graders no less, snagged second at the Region 1 tourney on Lake Barkley, missin' first by one ounce per Your Sports Edge. They're headin' to states on Kentucky Lake May 8-9. High school kids outfishin' pros? That's the fire we need. Virginia anglers, Smith Mountain Lake delivered for Matt Atkins, winnin' CATT Basskings with 20 pounds, 44 ounces says The Bass Cast. And Chesapeake Bay's Northeast Division opener? Chester County Bass Masters set a record—27 pounds to win, 83 boats with limits per Major League Fishing. East Coast's on fire. Pro tip for you fly folks: Drop shot rig's your gateway drug. Outdoor Life swears by it for spawnin' bass—tie quick with fluoro leader, nose-hook a softie, shake it bed-side. Smallies inhale it; largemouth too if you twitch patient. Finesse like a nymph drift, but watch those thumps. Toledo Bend, Chesapeake, Kentucky Lake—pack the boat, not the vest. Bass are stackin' limits nationwide. Thanks for tunin' in, tight lines.

Wyatt Burkhalter just dominated the 2026 Turtlebox Bassmaster Open at Grand Lake, Oklahoma, hauling in a whopping 68 pounds, 11 ounces to seal the win. Bassmaster reports he ran away with it in Division 2, leavin' the field in the dust. Over at Kerr Lake, Virginia, the Chester County Bass Masters tournament on April 25 was pure fire - 83 of 87 boats weighed limits, and it took over 27 pounds to win, smashin' a new record, says Major League Fishing. Fresh weigh-in from Lake Keowee, South Carolina, yesterday had pros flexin' too in the Phoenix Bass Fishing League. Hot spots?

Lake Oconee, Georgia, just crowned Weston Parker the boater champ in another Phoenix BFL, with a tactical pivot to shallow coves payin' off big, per GON.com. And Kerr Lake?

If you're used to delicate trout sips on dry flies, bass fishing's got that raw, heart-pounding pull that'll make your reel scream like a bonefish on steroids. We're talkin' recent monster hauls, red-hot waters, and tournament drama that's got the nation's bass nuts goin' wild. First off, Kerr Reservoir down in North Carolina is straight fire right now. Major League Fishing reports the Chester County Bass Masters club event there shattered records, with 83 out of 87 boats haulin' in full limits during shad spawn chaos. That's peak spring frenzy, folks—shad ballin' up on shorelines, bass crashin' the party. If you're road-trippin', hit Kerr for those wildcard spawns; it's locals-only gold. Over in Oklahoma, Grand Lake O' the Cherokees is wind-whipped but deliverin'. Bassmaster says Alabama's Wyatt Burkhalter grabbed the Day 2 lead at the 2026 Turtlebox Bassmaster Open with 44 pounds, 13 ounces across two days, includin' a 24-pound limit despite the gales. Eight boats topped 20 pounds, five over 22—Grand Lake's smallies and largemouth are fightin' like smallmouth broncos in a stream riffle. Championship Saturday's launchin' from Wolf Creek Park at 6:30 a.m. CT; windy or not, it's a hot spot. Texas beast mode at Toledo Bend Reservoir: Bassmaster crowned Andrew Rickman the 2026 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation champ with a three-day crusher of 95 pounds, 15 ounces. YouTube recaps show him sackin' limits that'd snap a fly line—pure dominance on that massive Louisiana-Texas border lake. Toledo Bend's your ticket for trophy largemouth right now. REDCREST 2026 on Missouri's Table Rock Lake? Z-Man lures owned it, per The Bass Cast. Zack Birge snagged third with over 100 pounds total in quals, crediting the JackHammer ChatterBait in shallow water. That vibe rig's tearin' up post-spawn bass, somethin' even fly guys might swap for on windy days. Bonus kid story: Louisiana Sportsman spotlights 18-year-old Travis Meche Jr., who dominated high school bass tourneys and lit up Chicot Lake with a personal best on November 12, 2025. Eat, sleep, fish, dominate—Skeeter Boats nails his life. Stream smallies are pound-for-pound terrors too, says The Republic's Brandon Butler. Tougher than any brown trout you've hooked.

Let's dive into the fresh action that's got lines tight. First off, massive congrats to Jacob Wheeler from Birchwood, Tennessee, who just crushed Major League Fishing's Bass Pro Shops REDCREST 2026 on Table Rock Lake in Missouri. The man sacked 21 bass totaling 51 pounds, 11 ounces for a cool $300,000 payday, as Major League Fishing reports. Table Rock's been on fire, with pros hammering largemouth, smallmouth, spotted bass, and even meanmouth hybrids in the mix. Hot pattern? Flip heavy cover like brush piles and target that post-spawn frenzy—perfect for us fly anglers eyeing topwater chaos. Over on the Mississippi River, La Crosse, Wisconsin's Mike Brueggen notched his 12th career win in the Phoenix Bass Fishing League, hauling a five-bass limit at 21 pounds, 5 ounces. That river current's a beast, but gravel bars and wing dams are holding fat smallies right now, per MLF updates. If you're road-trippin', hit those spots with a streamer or clouser—bass'll eat 'em like candy. Not all smooth sails though—wild crash at a high school bass tourney in the San Joaquin Delta near Brentwood, California, via SFist and KTVU. Two boats smashed in a 5-mph zone, injurin' six kids and adults, one teen with broken ribs and a punctured lung. Speedin' boat flipped right over the other, sendin' folks flyin'. Tough break, but the event powered on, with winners punchin' tickets to nationals in Kentucky. Stay safe out there, y'all—life jackets and no-wake zones ain't optional. Grand Lake in Oklahoma's buzzin' too, with Bass Pro Tour practice days showin' big weights, and locals like Dwayne Weeks placin' eighth at the ARC of the Ozarks tourney on Table Rock. Ozark waters are prime for spring bass, especially shaded banks and points. Word to the wise: Table Rock and Mississippi River are screamin' hot spots now.

If you're a fly slinger who digs a good chase, picture this: bass poundin' lures like trout hit dry flies on a riffle, but with way more muscle and mud. Let's dive into the fresh heat from this weekend's epics. First off, **Jacob Wheeler just owned the Bass Pro Shops REDCREST 2026 at Table Rock Lake, Missouri**. Major League Fishing reports he crushed it with 51 pounds 11 ounces on 21 scorable bass, pocketing $300,000 after dominatin' from the jump with a 35-pound opener. Early bite was key, he said, leavin' Takahiro Omori's 38 pounds in the dust. Table Rock's proven it's still a **hot spot** – those Ozark points and creeks are holdin' giants, perfect for locals chuckin' jigs or spinnin' chatterbaits where fly guys might nymph the shallows. Not done yet – over on the **Arkansas River**, Jacob Foutz snagged his first Bassmaster Elite Series win, holdin' a six-pound lead into the finale per Bassmaster highlights. That river's on fire too, with current-pushin' smallies and largemouth stackin' up in eddies – think streamer action but for bass nuts. Notable catches? Alton Jones Jr. nabbed the Berkley Big Bass at REDCREST with a 4-pound 10-ounce hog on day one, straight from MLF's weigh-ins. And Zack Birge lit up Day 2 with 47 pounds on 19 fish, swappin' leads like a dogfight. Fun twist: Wheeler's pushin' back on tech haters, tellin' Sports Illustrated it's skill, not gadgets, winnin' these days. Plus, some weird **spiny lure's takin' over 2026**, per SI – looks like a porcupine crossed with a grub, hookin' bass left and right. Imagine driftin' that under a bobber like a fly dropper. Table Rock and Arkansas River are screamin' right now – clear water, post-spawn aggression, and bags over 50 pounds. If you're road-trippin' from fly streams, hit these for a bass fix that'll make your 6-weight jealous. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all. Come back next week for more.

It's your boy Artificial Lure coming at you with the freshest bass fishing action happening right now across the United States. Buckle up because this week has been absolutely electric on the water. Let's kick things off with what's happening at the highest levels of competitive bass fishing. The Bass Pro Tour just wrapped up day two of REDCREST over at Table Rock Lake, and let me tell you, the fishing has been nothing short of spectacular. According to Major League Fishing, angler Birge absolutely crushed it by topping 100 pounds during the qualifying round. That's the kind of weight that makes you sit back and wonder what magic he's working out there. From what the highlights show, he's been swimming a jig around flooded grass and keying in on yellow flowers, which tells us something important about what's working right now on that water. But Table Rock isn't the only place getting hot. Over on the Arkansas River in Muskogee, Oklahoma, the Bassmaster Elite Series has been firing on all cylinders.

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 08:05:15 -0000 full Inception Point AI # ARTIFICIAL LURE: BASS FISHING HEAT CHECK Hey there, bass enthusiasts! It's your boy Artificial Lure coming at you with the freshest bass fishing action happening right now across the United States. Buckle up because this week has been absolutely electric on the water. Let's kick things off with what's happening at the highest levels of competitive bass fishing. The Bass Pro Tour just wrapped up day two of REDCREST over at Table Rock Lake, and let me tell you, the fishing has been nothing short of spectacular. According to Major League Fishing, angler Birge absolutely crushed it by topping 100 pounds during the qualifying round. That's the kind of weight that makes you sit back and wonder what magic he's working out there. From what the highlights show, he's been swimming a jig around flooded grass and keying in on yellow flowers, which tells us something important about what's working right now on that water. But Table Rock isn't the only place getting hot. Over on the Arkansas River in Muskogee, Oklahoma, the Bassmaster Elite Series has been firing on all cylinders. The third day of competition just kicked off, and these pros are out there battling it out with some seriously impressive catches.

If you're a fly rod wizard dreamin' of tradin' that delicate cast for chunkin' big swimbaits into bass beds, these updates'll hook ya. We're talkin' monster hauls lightin' up the leaderboards right now. Kickin' off with the Bass Pro Shops REDCREST on Table Rock Lake in Missouri, where Drew Gill straight-up dominated Day 1. Major League Fishing reports he sacked 29 scorable bass tippin' the scales at a whopping 70 pounds, 7 ounces, blowin' past the cut line by over 30 pounds. That's like haulin' in a flotilla of hawgs—imagine the fight on lighter gear! Jeff Reynolds kicked it off strong with 24 pounds, 5 ounces includin' a 10-pound 10-ounce Berkley Big Bass, and New Yorks Alec Morrison dropped 27 pounds, 9 ounces early. Weights carry over to Day 2, top 10 advance—Table Rock's bank-fishin' friendly shallows and points are screamin' hot right now, perfect for sightin' beds like you do with streamers on trout. Over in Muskogee, Oklahoma, the Progressive Bassmaster Elite Series on the Arkansas River is heatin' up too. Bassmaster highlights show Fisher Annayia leadin' after Day 1 with over 20 pounds, chasin' his second win this season. Brandon Pollenic's third at 19 pounds, 1 ounce; Austin Felix fourth with 18 pounds, 15 ounces; Matt Ary and Jason Christie hoverin' around 18 pounds each on Day 2. Day 2 action's got Hank Cherry in 14th—river current and eddies are key, mirrorin' that riffle-strippin' fly game but with bass smashin' topwaters. Out west, WON Bass Clear Lake Open in California keeps it wild. WONews says Rene Manterola held the Day 2 lead with 36.78 pounds from Day 1, Collins close at 34.77, and the top five all over 30 pounds. Clear Lake's weedlines and docks are bass magnets—think buggy flies dragged slow over structure. Bonus nugget: Bassresource forums got locals reportin' first brown bass of the year on April 17 from a northern lake just thawed, short cast to catch—ice-out action's prime for sneaky sight fishin'. These spots—Table Rock, Arkansas River, Clear Lake—are on fire for lunkers. Pro tip for fly anglers: downsize to finesse patterns in clear water, you'll fool 'em like pros.

If you're a fly rod wizard eyein' a switch to chuckin' lures for those hawg largemouth, this week's action's got that cross-over thrill—think precise casts to tules or river edges where flies shine too. Kickin' it off in Muskogee, Oklahoma, the 2026 Gamakatsu Bassmaster Elite at the Arkansas River exploded on Day 1, April 16. Fisher Anaya, last year's Bassmaster Elite Qualifiers Angler of the Year, smashed over 20 pounds to snag the lead, hittin' Pool 17 where low water flipped the script and bass schooled up tight. Bassmaster reports 71 of 71 anglers had limits by 2 p.m., with the 50th-place cut pushin' past 12 pounds—fish everywhere, but heavy pressure on key spots means ya gotta finesse it like a dry fly drop. Anglers like Mark Menendez, Bill Lowen, and Hunter Shryock are grindin', and Day 2's brewin' hot. Out west, California's Delta's reelin' from storms but bouncin' back strong, per the Weekly In Deep Fishing Report for April 16. Tournament sacks dipped post-front, but largemouth are adjustin'—hit deep water off tule clumps for the big girls, while smaller males junk-fish flukes. Top lures? LV500 swimbaits mimickin' shad, Megabass Spark Shad, or crankbaits. Guides like John Liechty at Xperiencefishing.net and Joey Price are reportin' stripers pushin' inland too, up to 26 inches near Paradise Point and Big Break—bait balls under birds are the ticket. Hot spots screamin' right now: Arkansas River for numbers and potential 5-pounders (though MLF notes REDCREST vibes lean small-school chaos), and Delta tules for trophy hunts. One angler on Bass Resource forums bagged 23 keepers in three rainy hours at 45 degrees—proof cool, wet mornings fire 'em up. Bassmaster Elite highlights show non-stop action, no downtime, fish overloadin' BassTrakk. Whether you're flippin' jigs or imaginin' a streamer strip, these rivers are dialed.

We're talkin' monster bags, red-hot spots, and tournament fever that's got the lakes boilin'. First off, hats off to Dylan Quilatan from Windermere, Florida, who just crushed the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League event on the Harris Chain of Lakes. Orange Observer reports he sacked up 34 pounds, 7 ounces over five fat largemouths from Apopka, Dora, Beauclair, and Eustis lakes. That's the kinda haul that'd make a trout snob jealous – pure shallow-water wizardry with the right retrieve. Hot spots are firin' right now. Lake Gaston's pumpin' with largemouth in 3-to-8-foot shallows around coves, boat docks, and stump fields, per the Lake Gaston Guide's April 15 report. Hit 'em with rattling lipless crankbaits, plastic worms, or topwaters like Devil's Horse at dawn or dusk – water's at 61 degrees and climbin', perfect pre-spawn ambush setup. And keep an eye on Roosevelt Lake in Arizona for this weekend's championship tourney from the Globe-Miami Times – locals are cashin' in big. Big news droppin' for you road warriors: B.A.S.S. just announced Gamakatsu as title sponsor for the 2026 Bassmaster Elite at Arkansas River, April 16-19 out of Muskogee, Oklahoma. Sports Destinations says it's the Elite Series' first crack at this river since floods nixed it in 2010 – expect epic locks and limits like the Bassmaster Opens winner Chris Jones' 42-pound three-day bomb in 2020. Meanwhile, Major League Fishing's Bass Pro Tour REDCREST hits Table Rock Lake April 17-19, launchin' from Bass Pro Shops Long Creek Marina at 6:45 a.m. MLF details show qualifiers grindin' two-day totals, top 10 to the championship round – BassForecast warns of a BASSNADO with new moon and warm-up, so speed up on sunny days with reaction baits, slow it on coolers. Even college kids are killin' it – Mississippi State's James Broderick and Ben Puckett punched tickets to the 2027 MLF National Championship after top-15 at Columbia PFG in Alabama, Mississippi State Newsroom says.

Forget those dainty dry flies for a sec – bass are poundin' the banks right now, and the action's hotter than a summer shad spawn. Let's dive into the freshest bites. Kickin' off with monster catches: Down at Toledo Bend Reservoir, straddlin' Louisiana and Texas, Greer Billeaud hauled in a 12.5-pound largemouth on April 6, releasin' her for a TBLA replica mount. Wired2Fish reports it's the 53rd double-digit bass logged for the 2025-2026 season on that massive 185,000-acre beast – proof Toledo's still the king of lunkers. Up north, the Delta tourney saw 47.76 pounds sack to win the Bass Badges and Vets on April 10, per WesternBass forums – that's limits pushin' 10-pound averages in Cali delta sloughs. Hot spots? Mark your calendars: Grand Lake O' the Cherokees in Oklahoma's hostin' the 2026 TNT Fireworks Bassmaster Team Championship December 9-12, announced by Bassmaster. Grove's Convention Bureau's pumpin' it up for teams chasin' Classic berths – expect shallow coves and river runs to light up. Table Rock Lake's next for the Bass Pro Tour REDCREST April 17-19, launchin' from Bass Pro Shops Long Creek Marina at 6:45 a.m., says Major League Fishing. And Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia? Berkley pros predict 5-6 pounders everywhere, with a 30-pound stringer fresh, and a 9-pounder to win comin' spring tourneys – shad spawn's on fire up the stained rivers. Pro tips to steal for your fly rod: Kevin VanDam's finesse game is killin' it with drop-shots, Neko rigs, shaky heads, and Ned rigs on 10-pound braid to 8-pound fluoro, perfect for gunky bottoms or video-gamin' graphs, per MLF. Hollow-body frogs are underrated search baits over mats – add BBs or tungsten for that saggin' walk-the-dog, straight from MLF frog masters. Even Clear Lake's WON BASS Open had day-two weigh-ins buzzin' hotspots like JD Blackamore's breakdowns. Bass are pushin' up shallow, sight-fishin' beds in low-rain spots – creature baits or spinnerbaits for shad-chasers. Warmin' waters mean topwater mornings that'll make your fly-flickin' heart race.

Kickin' off with notable catches from the just-wrapped 2026 FXR Bassmaster Elite at Lake Guntersville, Alabama. Day 1 leader Cory Johnston bagged a fat five-bass limit at 24 pounds 9 ounces. Day 3 boss Kyle Welcher stacked 45 pounds over 10 fish, but New York hammer Jamie Hartman stole the show with Day 4's 67 pounds across 15 bass – that's some serious green beasts prowlin' the Big G shallows. Bassmaster reports those ledges and staging zones lit up like your favorite dry fly dropper. Hot spots? Lake Guntersville's still simmerin', but eyes on Lake Eufaula, Alabama for the Minn Kota and Humminbird Owners Tournament April 10-12 at Lakepoint State Park – big bass central with exclusive vibes for gear heads. Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash hits Lake Sam Rayburn, Texas April 17-19, then Lake Fork in September; amateurs chasin' pro-level paydays on those toad factories. Bassmaster Elite's gearin' for Lake Martin, Alabama next, and the Arkansas River in Muskogee, OK April 16-19 – Keystone Crew's fantasy picks say it's prime for river rats. Up north, Buffalo NY reports big water like Lake Erie and Niagara River producin' trout and walleye, but bass are wakin' up slow behind the ice boom, per Brookdog Fishing. Fun scoop: Bass Pro Tour's droppin' "Beat JT Kenney" challenge for 2026 fantasy players – auto-entry if you roster up, courtesy Major League Fishing. Wired2Fish whispers Bob Downey's secret spring swimbait's tearin' up shallow warm pockets where beds are poppin' and mixed species hang – cover water like you're strippin' streamers. Lake Fork's Mega Bass tourney crowned big winners, Bass Champs says Chad Maddux and Jake Meeks cashed 26k with 19.50 pounds – Texas tough. Fly peeps, these spots scream versatile: hit the shallows with finesse like you'd nymph a tailout, and those bass'll sip your offerings.

If you're a fly rod diehard like me, picture this: those chunky largemouths hittin' like a bonefish on steroids, no finesse needed—just pure power pulls that'll make your 8-weight sing. Let's dive into the fresh action from this weekend. Kicked off with a bang at Percy Priest Lake in Tennessee. Mark Condron dominated the Phoenix Bass Fishing League event on April 11, haulin' in 19 pounds 4 ounces over five fat bass for $2,790. Michael Stout was right behind at 17 pounds 5 ounces, pockin' $1,330. Major League Fishing reports those fish were stackin' up deep, perfect for chuckin' big streamers if you swap the baitcaster for a fly setup. Down in Florida, the Harris Chain of Lakes lit up like a trophy run. Dylan Quilatan crushed it with a 34-pound 7-ounce limit—five pigs that pocketed him $4,590. Paul Vanzant took second at 23 pounds 4 ounces. MLF says the chain's grassy edges and hydrilla beds are firin' hot right now; drop a clouser minnow there, and you'll forget about trout for a day. Over at Lake Hartwell in South Carolina, the BFL weigh-in had anglers grinnin' ear-to-ear on April 11—check MLF for the full recap, but word is the shad spawn's pullin' bass shallow. And don't sleep on Kentucky Lake's Toyota Series Day 3 weigh-in same day; locals like that two-time BFL winner Morgan are lockin' in limits on the Tennessee River impoundment, where current breaks hold the hogs. Hot spots screamin' right now? Percy Priest for consistent 17-19 pound bags, Harris Chain if you want monster limits over 30 pounds, Hartwell for that Southeast bite, and Cherokee Lake hostin' the B.A.S.S. Nation event—Day 2 just launched, with Bassmaster Nation anglers blastin' off for more. MLF also dropped news on lower entry fees and bigger payouts for the 2026 Phoenix BFL season, makin' it easier for us locals to jump in. Meanwhile, chatter's buildin' on who'll snag the MLF Bass Pro Tour Redcrest on Table Rock Lake—YouTube anglers are debatin' it hot. Bass are on the move, water's warmin', and these catches prove it's prime time stateside. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all—come back next week for more.

If you're a fly rod junkie like me, dreamin' of tradin' that delicate cast for chunkin' big swimbaits into bass beds, this spawn party's callin' your name. Water's warmin', fish are shallow, and the action's hotter than a Texas summer. Kickin' off with monster catches: Texas Parks and Wildlife reports O.H. Ivie Reservoir closed out the 2026 ShareLunker season with a bang. Angler Ted Taylor from Lucas hauled in a 14.22-pound Legacy Class largemouth on the final day, makin' it five beasts from Ivie alone – toppin' J.B. Thomas and clinchin' sixth straight year at number one. That's the kinda lunker that'd make your fly line sing if you could fool it with a popper. Head to Kentucky for prime hotspots. Kentucky Afield's April 10 fishing report says bass and crappie spawns are full throttle on lakes like Carpenter, Malone, and Peabody WMA spots – Island, South, Jacks, and Bell. Tons of 12- to 14-inchers from that killer 2023 year class mean high catch rates shallow in 2 to 8 feet. Hit gravel and sand banks in cuts and pockets with jerkbaits, soft plastics, or swimbaits. Smallmouth are dominatin' tournament bags, but nice largemouth are mixin' in. Cover water fast with crankbaits and spinnerbaits till you find 'em stagin' or beddin'. Florida's poppin' too. Roland Martin Outdoors notes full moon spawn's got bass goin' nuts on Lake Okeechobee and Headwaters – perfect for sight fishin' those beds like you'd nymph a trout lie. Meanwhile, Bassmaster's Toyota Series kicked off Day 1 on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, with college kids at Table Rock Lake weighin' in via Major League Fishing events. Tourney trail's lit: Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash hit Lake Guntersville in Alabama last week, with Sam Rayburn in Texas up next April 17-19. Redcrest 2026 lands at Table Rock April 17-19, and B.A.S.S. Nation's at Cherokee Lake. Even Italy's Luca Della Ciana punched into Redcrest via MLF International – global flavor hittin' US waters. Gear heads, Tactical Bassin's Spring review droppin' hot baits post-Bassmaster Classic. Think swimbaits and jigs that mimic the flies you love, but scaled for hawgs.

April 6th, he sacked five bass tippin' 18 pounds 2 ounces for $2,960, beatin' Ryan Stagner by ounces with 17-11. Co-angler Jake Keller from Springfield cleaned up with 9 pounds 7 ounces for $1,480. Anglers Channel reports Table Rock's Ozark Division is heatin' up, with Cody Miller leadin' the Angler of the Year race after two events. Head south to Lake Guntersville, Alabama, where the Bassmaster Elite Series is on fire. Day 1, Canadian Cory Johnston led with a fat 24 pounds 9 ounces limit. Day 2, Alabama's Kyle Welcher took over at 45 pounds total for 10 fish. Day 3, New York's Jamie Hartman grabbed 67 pounds over 15 bass. Bassmaster.com says it's a slugfest on the Big G, perfect for you fly guys dreamin' of streamer action on those ledges. Over in Oklahoma, Winnsboro Texas pro Chase South dominated Lake Eufaula's B.A.S.S. Opens with 84 pounds 1 ounce over three days - third heaviest ever, behind his own Sam Rayburn record. Anglers Channel calls it another Southern onslaught. Hot spots? Cherokee Lake in east Tennessee's buzzin' for the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Qualifier April 10-12. Progressive Bassmaster Elite rookie Sam Hanggi predicts spawnin' largemouth and smallmouth everywhere - beds on boulders in 3-12 feet, shallow crankbaits, swimbaits like the Megabass Magdraft, shaky heads, and jighead minnows on forward-facing sonar for prespawners. Go shallow or chase bait balls offshore. April's prime time nationwide per Wired2Fish - spawn lingerin' South, post-spawn funk hittin' Texas, beds up north near the Great Lakes. Even high schoolers are crushin' it: Tallulah Falls, Georgia squad took state runner-up on Lake Hartwell April 4th, nabbin' Big Fish and a nationals ticket to Lake Cumberland. Bass are pushin' shallow, beds full - swap that fly rod for finesse if you dare, but keep it fun. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all. Come back next week for more.

According to Guntersville Bass Guides reporting from Lake Guntersville in Alabama just yesterday, we're seeing exactly what every bass angler dreams about this time of year. The guides are reporting that buck bass are absolutely everywhere in the shallows right now, and here's the thing that gets us excited - when you see the males moving shallow, the big females are right behind them. We're talking wave one of the spawn has clearly started, and the team is already seeing the setup change with decent weather and warming conditions pushing more bass in waves toward the banks. Lake Guntersville is absolutely firing right now if you're looking to get out this week. The guides note that while catching a bunch of male bass might not sound like the headline everyone wants, it's actually the perfect indicator that the trophy fish are staging nearby. Early April conditions are dialing in perfectly with that full moon energy and warming temperatures that get bass moving. Now, if you want to capitalize on this shallow water action, here's what the pros are doing. Major League Fishing reports that frog fishing is absolutely crushing it in these conditions. When you're working mats, lily pads, or heavy cover, you want to use a chugging presentation to get that frog surging in a sporadic, lifelike manner. But here's the pro tip that separates the locals from the tourists - keep slack in your line. You want more slack than you think you need when you're walking that frog in place so it doesn't get pulled away from cover. Some pros are even switching to slower reels with a 6.5 to 1 gear ratio instead of their usual 7 to 1 when working baits in small areas. Color matters too. Use dark-bodied frogs when the sky is bright so they silhouette against the water, and lighter colored frogs when it's overcast. And if you're fishing really heavy cover with duckweed or matted hydrilla, go heavier - a lighter frog just gets knocked off the mat or totally missed. Speaking of techniques getting hot, Major League Fishing is also reporting that fuzzy plastics have been making serious waves on the pro tour lately. Michael Neal's recent win using fuzzy plastics shows these things are legit, so if you haven't experimented with them yet, now's the time. Meanwhile, the Bassmaster Elite Series is rolling through the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway for stop number three, and the action there has been absolutely insane with shallow water power fishing producing some serious catches. So here's the bottom line - get out there this week if you can. Lake Guntersville is loaded, the spawn is starting, and those shallow water presentations with frogs and fuzzy plastics are absolutely dialed in right now.

If you're a fly fishing die-hard like me, you know that thrill of tricking a finicky fish with finesse, but man, bass action right now is pure adrenaline. Let's dive into the freshest bites from the last couple days. First off, hats off to Jason Weast and Cliff Wolf who dominated the Just Fish Team Trail Tournament 2 on April 4th. These locals sacked up a whopping 20.81 pounds to snag first place and $3,276, including big bass honors, according to ShowMeTournamentsLLC results. That's the kind of limit that'd make any fly rodder jealous, pulling hawgs from who-knows-where in US waters. Hot spots are firing too. Over at O.H. Ivie Lake in Brownwood, Texas, Jacob Wheeler wired-to-wired the MLF Bass Pro Tour Stage 4, stacking 42 pounds 13 ounces on 12 bass, per MajorLeagueFishing.com. Pros cracked the code with top baits on those tough conditions, proving deep structure and post-spawn shallows are gold. And don't sleep on Lake Eufaula, Alabama—Pake South leads the 2026 Turtlebox Bassmaster Open Basstrakk with Chase Clarke hot on his heels, as Bassmaster reports. Grand Lake's fresh off crowning MLF champs too, with Kentucky Lake gearing up next. Notable catches? Wheeler's sack stands out, but fuzzy dice plastics are the sneaky new trick buzzing the Bass Pro Tour—think Michael Neal's win vibes, MajorLeagueFishing notes. It's like delicate fly presentations but with a bass twist, undulating soft in the current to fool staging largemouth and smallies. Arizona's bass stay aggressive year-round around brush piles and submerged trees, says Reddy Guide Service, while Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas-Missouri keeps its lunker rep from classic hauls like 9-pounders on jig-and-eels. Cheating drama's stirring too—videos of bass crews pre-catching fish via scuba are popping up, per GON.com, keeping the scene spicy. Tourneys like ABA Couples Series are ramping for fall, AmericanBassAnglers says. Whether you're chucking flies or flipping jigs, these US bass hotspots are dialed. Grab your gear and chase that pull.

If you're a fly slinger who digs sightin' rises and strippin' lines, you'll dig how these bass hogs are smashin' offerings right now—kinda like huntin' big browns in a tailrace, but with more chunk and less finicky hatches. First off, Texas is on fire with trophy largemouths. Outdoor Life reports Brad Tucker and Ted Taylor boated a pig of a 14.22-pounder on Lake O.H. Ivie March 30—24.5 inches long with a 22.5-inch girth that'd make any fly guy jealous of the beef. That wrapped the ShareLunker season with 19 bass over 13 pounds donated, topped by Austin Miles' 16.04-pounder from Purtis Creek State Park Lake. O.H. Ivie? Straight-up hot spot for double-digit pigs usin' forward-facin' sonar—veteran locals swear by it east of San Angelo. Headin' east to Alabama, Bassmaster Elite Pake South just dominated the 2026 Turtlebox Bassmaster Open at Lake Eufaula with 84 pounds, 1 ounce over three days, includin' a 31-7 final limit. That's back-to-back wins for the Texas pro, makin' him the fourth angler ever to pull it off in one season. Bass Angler Mag says Eufaula's churnin' limits that'd test your 6-weight—think deep ledges and current breaks where a well-placed streamer coulda fooled 'em. Over in Texas again, Major League Fishing highlights Jacob Wheeler's 11th Bass Pro Tour win at O.H. Ivie and Lake Brownwood, sackin' 42 pounds, 13 ounces on 12 scorable bass March 29. Pros are riggin' top baits there, but imagine droppin' a muddler minnow in those pockets. Fun fact for you fly crowd: North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission pegs black bass fishin'—largemouth, smallmouth, you name it—at a whopping 2.6 billion bucks yearly for the state, with 711,000 anglers chasin' 'em. Most popular inland target, beatin' out mountain trout. Who knew these bruisers pumped that much green? Hot spots to hit: O.H. Ivie for trophies, Lake Eufaula for limits, Purtis Creek for history-makers. Water's warmin', tides movin'—grab your rod and chase the bite windows like you'd stalk caddis hatches.

If you're a fly slinger who digs sightin' rises and workin' delicate presentations, bass season's callin' you over—imagine tradin' that 6-weight for a 7-foot stick and chuckin' poppers into the shallows where hawgs crash like a bad hatch. Spring's heatin' up across the US, and bass are pushin' shallow for the spawn, makin' 'em prime for quick strikes that feel like strippin' a streamer to a trophy brown. Let's hit the hot spots first. Up in Idaho, the Idaho Fish and Game says now's your shot at trophy bass as waters hit the mid-50s—largemouth lurkin' in weedy shallows like Lake Lowell, Crane Falls Reservoir, or Mud Lake, full of stumps and lily pads perfect for flippin' soft plastics. Smallmouth boys, head to cooler haunts like Brownlee Reservoir or the Snake River, where rocky points and gravel flats are gold this time of year. Steck Park on Brownlee's even billed as the best smallmouth spot in Idaho and Oregon, drawin' 10,000 anglers yearly. Over in Wisconsin, Bassmaster just ranked the Minocqua Chain top 25 in the central US and top 100 nationwide—shallow bays warmin' fast for pre-spawn beasts. Notable catches? Texas Parks and Wildlife tallied 44 state records and 470 waterbody records in 2025, with bass leadin' the charge—folks haulin' in monsters on certified scales. MLF's Bass Pro Tour saw Chris Lane sack 56 pounds, 12 ounces at Lake Whitney, and Andrew Rickman grindin' big bags at Grand Lake. Down South, Georgia Outdoor News reported a near-5-pound largemouth bombin' at West Point Lake. North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission's 2025 study drops a bombshell: black bass fishes pump $2.6 billion into the economy, with 711,000 anglers chasin' largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted variants—way ahead of trout crowds. Fun fact to geek you out: Idaho's Martin Koenig notes bass go full spawn at 60 degrees, diggin' nests on gravel—hit those transition zones between warm flats and deeper drops for the bite. Stable sunny days beat cold fronts, and bank anglers finally get equal play as these pigs climb shallow. MLF's even launchin' an influencer-only tour with bonuses for old-school angling, no sonar crutches. Whether you're a fly purist eyein' bass on beds or just want explosive fights, grab your gear—the window's short before they post-spawn deep.

North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission's 2025 study drops a bombshell: black bass fishes pump $2.6 billion into the economy, with 711,000 anglers chasin' largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted variants—way ahead of trout crowds. Fun fact to geek you out: Idaho's Martin Koenig notes bass go full spawn at 60 degrees, diggin' nests on gravel—hit those transition zones between warm flats and deeper drops for the bite. Stable sunny days beat cold fronts, and bank anglers finally get equal play as these pigs climb shallow. MLF's even launchin' an influencer-only tour with bonuses for old-school angling, no sonar crutches. Whether you're a fly purist eyein' bass on beds or just want explosive fights, grab your gear—the window's short before they post-spawn deep.

If you're a fly slinger dreamin' of tradin' that feather for a swimbait, stick around – these lunker tales might just hook ya. Picture this: down in West Texas at J.B. Thomas Reservoir, angler Lawrence Lee just made history on March 24. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department reports he reeled in two Legacy Class ShareLunkers – that's 13.10-pound ShareLunker 699 in the mornin' and a beastly 13.57-pound ShareLunker 700 that evenin'. Talk about a double-double-digit day! Lee used a fresh six-inch KGB Swimbait crappie pattern he snagged at the Bassmaster Classic – first cast, boom, inhaled it like candy. That night fish put on a 20-foot jumpin' show before divin' under the boat, testin' his nerves till the hook nearly popped free. He's now the first ever to bag three 13-plus pounders in one Toyota ShareLunker season, tyin' J.B. Thomas with O.H. Ivie at four entries this year. TPWD biologists scooped 'em up for spawnin' and genetics, then Lee released 'em back – pure Texas magic on public water. J.B. Thomas is on fire right now, folks. Lee's already got the lake record there with a 13.79-pounder from '24, and this spot's pumpin' out monsters thanks to the ShareLunker program. Public access, multiple teens in a day? If you're road-trippin' south, hit it before the Jan-March spawn window closes March 31. Low expectations, high hopes – Lee's words – and one cast changes everything. Elsewhere, keep an eye on Virginia's Smith Mountain Lake, where the Anglers Choice Team Trail kicked off March 7 with teams battlin' big bass. And heads up, Satilla River in Georgia's got blackwater bass mixin' with redbreast on those white sandbars – prime for sight fishin' like you'd do with flies. These hogs are eatin' swimbaits and crankin' up the adrenaline. Who knows, might inspire ya to swap rod tips for a bass stick. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all. Come back next week for more.

Let's dive into what's been heating up across the country this March. First off, Lake Brownwood in Texas has been absolutely on fire. The reigning Angler of the Year just crushed it in the Championship Round, landing twelve bass weighing forty-two pounds thirteen ounces to take home the top prize of one hundred twenty-five thousand dollars. That's the kind of final day performance that makes the rest of us shake our heads in disbelief. But here's where it gets weird. Over on Tennessee's Lake Chickamauga, competitor Anthony Mondo was throwing for trophy largemouths when he hooked into something unexpected. A four-pound crappie. Yeah, you heard that right. The fish measured nineteen inches long with a fifteen and a half inch girth, making it the biggest crappie caught in recent years. Now, the official world record still sits at five pounds seven ounces according to the International Game Fish Association, but that was caught in a private pond. Mondo's beast is the real deal caught in open water. Speaking of hot spots, multiple lakes are delivering serious action right now. Lake Sinclair and the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway have both been producing monster catches throughout March. According to recent fishing reports, these waters are absolutely loaded with opportunities if you know where to cast. Over in Georgia, West Point Lake is experiencing a transition that's worth knowing about. The lake used to be an absolute largemouth factory, but environmental changes have shifted things toward spotted bass. The good news is bass fishing is still excellent there, and striped bass fishing is particularly hot right now with strong action expected to continue through the coming weeks. The hybrid bass fishing is also very solid, especially during the spring run up the Chattahoochee River to Franklin. Meanwhile, Wisconsin anglers are seeing walleye fishing pick up considerably this week, with perch anglers reporting some large catches. It's not all bass all the time out there, but the overall freshwater action is solid across the region. For those of you who get down to South Carolina, the Student Angler League Tournament Trail has some solid opportunities coming up. The State Bass Tournaments include events at Lake Keowee this month. The bottom line is March has been absolutely stacked with action across the country. Whether you're chasing largemouths, spotted bass, or throwing topwater for hybrid stripers, there's something biting somewhere in this great nation of ours. Get out there and make some noise on the water. Thanks so much for tuning in today. Come back next week for more fresh bass fishing news and insights. This has been a Quiet Please production.

Meanwhile, down in Texas, Justin Lucas owned the MLF Tour knockout at Lake Brownwood, pacin' the pack as 24 anglers boated 198 bass tippin' 616 pounds total—Saturday's big bass award went for a grand. Brownwood News called it a slugfest. Notable catches? Jason Christie from Dry Creek, Oklahoma, snatched the Day 3 lead at the Bassmaster Elite on Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway with a three-day bomb of 45 pounds, 9 ounces. Bassmaster reports he's lockin' in for Championship Sunday, flippin' consistency like a pro. Over in southern waters, Joshua Barber's report from March 29 nails Tim's trophy shoal bass at 3.97 pounds, plus a near-4-pound largemouth—pure river rat gold. Hot spots screamin' right now: Lake Sinclair's secondary points and shallows for Georgia largemouths. Atlanta's spotted bass are firin' end of March per FishingBooker reports. Lake D'Arbonne in Louisiana? Bass slammin' jigs, spinners, Rat-L-Traps, and soft plastics around shallows and points, says Glynn Harris. And don't sleep on Tennessee-Tombigbee—formidable leaderboard with big names chasin' glory. Fun nugget: Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit's reloaded with 150 rookies and vets hittin' six events this year—MLF's pumpin' fresh blood into the circuit. Even charity vibes: Havasu's 45th Pro-Am Bass Tournament weighed beasts for a good cause, and Knox County's 20th anniversary tourney honored a legend.

If you're a fly rod wizard eyein' those chunky largemouths, listen up—this spring's heatin' up like a mayfly hatch on steroids. Kickin' off in Texas, Lake O.H. Ivie is straight fire right now. Major League Fishing's Bass Pro Tour Suzuki Marine Stage 4 dropped Day 1 bombs on March 26, with Jacob Wheeler from Birchwood, Tennessee, leadin' the pack at 44 pounds even on 13 bass. He kicked it off with a fat 7-pounder in minutes, and the field yanked 307 bass totalin' nearly 900 pounds. Casey Ashley and Mitchell Robinson split the Berkley Big Bass with 7-pound, 1-ounce hogs. Day 2 livestream was poppin' from Early, Texas—O.H. Ivie's a giant factory, cover-heavy and primed for pre-spawn beasts. Brent Ehrler sits second at 35-15. MLF reports say it's the best bite there since '24. Headin' east to Mississippi, Columbus hosted pro bass for the first time in 22 years on the Tenn-Tom waterway. Only 50 anglers advanced to Day 3 after a grind—weights ain't doublin' easy, per Bassmaster Elite analysis. Tough but epic, with bass playin' musical chairs in that system. Kentucky's makin' waves too. A big bass project just dropped key findin's, catchin' eyes from Illinois crews and beyond, says Outdoor News. They're unlockin' secrets to growin' trophies, perfect timin' as Kentucky Lake stays a bass magnet on the Tennessee River—premier spot for lunkers year-round. Notable catches? Mass.gov's sportfishin' awards updated March 27 with freshwater bass leaders heatin' up. Georgia Wildlife's report nails late March as prime: pre-spawn largemouths shallowin' out at Big Lazer, hittin' soft plastics, spinnerbaits, and crankbaits near cover. Hot spots screamin' right now: O.H. Ivie for monsters, Tenn-Tom for pros, Kentucky Lake for consistent action, and southern ponds where water peaks afternoons.

If you're a fly fishing die-hard eyeing those sneaky largemouth and smallmouth, I've got the fresh scoop on what's biting right now, straight from the lines and lakes. First off, hats off to Texas guide Lawrence Lee who rewrote the books on March 24. He hauled in two monster largemouth bass over 13 pounds each from J.B. Thomas Reservoir in one single day. That's a first in 40 years of Texas Parks and Wildlife's ShareLunker Program. Lee even notched a third Legacy bass that month from the same West Texas hot spot. Agrolatam reports this as trophy history, proving conservation's paying off big time. Over in Early, Texas, the Bass Pro Tour's Suzuki Marine Stage 4 kicked off yesterday on MLFNOW livestream, with Day 1 weights carrying straight through. Pros are duking it out, and if you're chasing patterns, tune in for those multi-day battles. Grand Lake's heating up too, hosting the Toyota Series Day 1 weigh-in. Major League Fishing says it's drawing the region's top bass pros and co-anglers, perfect for spotting deep-water tactics that might translate to your fly rod setups. Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway just wrapped Day 1 of the 2026 Mountain Dew Bassmaster Elite, with tight, heavy weights surprising everyone. Bassmaster's Pete Robbins broke it down, noting how it sets up wild for the rest of the tourney. And don't sleep on Pickwick Lake, where Alabama Bass Trail North Division hits March 28. It's a moving target with constant changes, ideal for adaptable anglers. Up north, Lake Vermilion's 2026 outlook shines for smallmouth bass, with electrofishing surveys showing numbers climbing for three decades. The Timberjay says expect steady 10-to-17 inchers all season, plus stable largemouth in West Vermilion as bonus catches. Even kayak jockey Marty Hughes reported 26 bass on March 26, mostly 14-16 inches, with a 19.25-inch pig that had a smaller bass in its gut. Kayakjak substack nailed that gritty detail.

You know how we chase those tricky trout rises? Well, bass are going wild right now with spring heat cranking up the action, pulling big girls shallow like never before. First off, hats off to Texas guide Lawrence Lee, who's on fire at J.B. Thomas Reservoir southwest of Snyder. Outdoor Life reports he just boated his second 13-pound largemouth in two weeks - this one's a certified 13.10-pounder at 25.25 inches long with a 20.75-inch girth. He even added an 11-pounder same day, with his top five fish hitting 57 pounds. That hidden 7,300-acre lake's pumping out teeners, so if you're road-tripping south, hit it dawn patrol for heavyweights. Hot spots are lighting up nationwide thanks to record warmth. BassForecast says from March 26-30, water's surging toward bass sweet spots, shoving pre-spawn beasts shallow everywhere mid-country. Southern Great Plains? Early giants sliding bankside now - perfect for your fly rod if you swap for streamers. Up north, ice is melting fast on bigger waters, so check thickness but get ready for the push. Minocqua Chain in Wisconsin just got Bassmaster love as a top 25 central hotspot and top 100 nationwide - shallow bays there warm quick for spring bass busting. Notable catches and tourney heat: Alabama Bass Trail saw Chris Patterson and David Newman snag 21.85 pounds at Lay Lake for a tight $15K win. Major League Fishing's Bass Pro Tour Angler of the Year race is revving for 2026 with Fishing Clash on board, and Toyota Series Southwestern Division heads to Grand Lake next. Bassmaster Elite at Tenn-Tom bans forward-facing sonar this year - old-school skills only, keeping it pure. Maryland's lower Susquehanna has smallmouths hammering jigs below the dam, and Susquehanna Flats largemouths are good on grass beds per DNR report. Pre-spawn to spawn overlaps mean multiple patterns firing - metabolism's peaking, so bass are feeding hard. Fly anglers, think big woolly buggers or clousers over bass weedlines - it's like dry fly magic but with explosions. Temps in the 50s and climbing nationwide. Thanks for tuning in, tight lines and big hooks next time out. Come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

Fly anglers, think big woolly buggers or clousers over bass weedlines - it's like dry fly magic but with explosions. Temps in the 50s and climbing nationwide.

First off, massive congrats to Tennessee's Dylan Nutt, who just crushed the 2026 Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee River in Knoxville. Wired2fish reports he sacked a monster 66.13-pound total over three days, winnin' $300k with a secret unreleased Berkley Lab Series Minnow bait. Day two? A 26-pound, 11-ounce bomb on pre-spawn schools via forward-facing sonar – biggest single-day bag of the tourney. Home-state hero, grassroots qualifier, and he dodged a crowded spot on champ Sunday for 20-plus pounds. Pure grit, and that bait drops later this year – get ready. Hot spots are firin' too. Lake Guntersville in Alabama's servin' up big chatterbait and Senko bites even in cold March water, per recent YouTube action vids. Texas legends O.H. Ivie and Brownwood are next up for Bass Pro Tour Stage 4, Major League Fishing says – tricky to find 'em, but those lakes spit out giants if you crack the code. Lake LBJ's callin' largemouth lovers with guide Evan at Big Bassin Fishing Tours, loaded with local know-how. And check Lake Martin, Alabama: Bassmaster Elite's heatin' up with Brock Mosley leadin' Day 2 at 26 pounds, 6 ounces, chasin' spotted bass from Wind Creek State Park. Notable catches keep pilin' on. Texas Parks and Wildlife logged a 3.82-pound white bass in Houston on January 30 – fresh record smash.

Kentucky's pushin' tournament smarts via their Fish & Wildlife site to dodge ramp jams, plus "Keeping Bass Alive" tips for summer releases – B.A.S.S. manual endorsed statewide. Bass world's boomin' with tech like those sonar schools and lab baits makin' neutral fish bite – kinda like strippin' a streamer to picky trout, but with double-digit limits.

If you're a fly rodder dreamin' of tradin' that delicate presentation for some chunk bass action, these stories'll hook ya. Let's dive into the fresh hauls from the Phoenix Bass Fishing League tournaments – pure adrenaline for any angler. First up, Lake Chickamauga in Tennessee lit up like a fireworks show. Cleveland local Kevin Drake sacked five bass tippin' the scales at 23 pounds, 15 ounces to snag the win and $4,910, per MajorLeagueFishing.com. He ran upriver, fired up his Garmin LiveScope around 9 a.m., and hammered main-lake points and river flats with a 6-inch solid white swimbait. Nabbed a 5-pounder quick, then three more in an hour for 15 pounds total. Tough bites after, but his big kicker sealed it on what he called a "very, very tough day." Co-angler Chris Graham from Georgia crushed it with three fish at 20 pounds, 13 ounces, including a monster 9-pound, 9-ounce Berkley Big Bass. And Colton Kees' 8-pound, 5-ouncer stole the boater big bass honors. Chickamauga's flats and points are screamin' hot right now – if you're nearby, rig up and go. Over in Arkansas, Lake Ouachita delivered drama on March 23. Benton's Jon Paulovich clutched victory with five bass at 18 pounds, 1 ounce, worth $3,640, reports AnglersChannel.com. His 6-pound, 12-ounce lunker on a Carolina rig – somethin' locals ain't throwin' – was the day's biggest. He mixed in a Megabass Magdraft swimbait for a last-minute crusher on a windy point while racin' to weigh-in. "Put your life jacket on, we gotta go," he told his co-angler. Alan Bernicky took co-angler top dog with three at 9 pounds, 15 ounces. Ouachita's main lake grasslines and points are fire for big bites – perfect for sneaky tactics that surprise the fish. These BFL events are heatin' up the 2026 season, with 128 tournaments feedin' into regionals and the All-American at Lake Murray, South Carolina, come May. Bass are stackin' up pre-spawn, and spots like Chickamauga and Ouachita are goldmines for 5- to 9-pound pigs. Fly fishers, imagine sight-fishin' those hawgs with a big streamer – same rush, bigger brawl. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all. Come back next week for more bass buzz.

First off, monster catches are makin' waves. Dylan Nutt just smoked the 2026 Bassmaster Classic on March 15 with a jaw-droppin' 66.13-pound bag, credittin' Berkley's new Lab Series baits – these bad boys got MaxScent Slime that leaks fish-maggot attractant like crazy, perfect for followin' bass that ghost your fly. Wired2Fish broke it down, sayin' it won him the whole shebang. Up in Massachusetts, whispers of a 15-pound 8-ounce state record largemouth from Big East Bass Fishing vids got folks buzzin'. And don't sleep on Texas records like that 12.42-pound largemouth from Mackenzie Reservoir back in 2017, still standin' tall per TPWD. Hot spots? Spring pre-spawn fever's on. New York's Long Island sees largemouths gorgin' in back bays, easin' into feedin' patterns, says OnTheWater reports. South Carolina's Lake Greenwood and Lake Keowee host SALTT tourneys February 21 and March 28 – Carolina Sportsman calls 'em prime for slabs.

Kayak boys in Jersey hit Delaware River smallies or Water Gap lakes now. Townville, SC, runnin' bass clinics per FishingBooker. Even Cherokee Lake and St. Lawrence River gear up for Phoenix Bass Fishing League later this year. Cool buzz? Major League Fishing locked in Cigars International as 2026 sponsor – champs get custom humidors and stogies to puff after weigh-ins.

CATT trails in NC, SC, VA pay big for weekend warriors, and Acosta Foundation tourney drops April 25.

Down in Alabama, Lay Lake's churnin' with current from Logan Martin Dam, pushin' spotted bass into tailraces and docks; expert Jon Canada from Major League Fishing says two turbines runnin' steady is gold for callin' your shots on those seams, but three'll blow ya off the water. And Marty Hughes kayaked a double-digit day on March 20th, boatin' 12 bass up to 19+ inches usin' surface temp tricks—hit the warm east-side rocks at 55-57 degrees with chatterbaits and ned rigs, as detailed in his Kayakjak report. Hot spots? Lay Lake's your current playground if ya dig river-run bass—those Coosa chain creeks and blow-throughs are stackin' big spots when the generators hum, accordin' to MLF pros. Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley on the Tennessee-Cumberland line are callin' all comers with primo largemouth and smallies, full marinas ready for a boat ramp run, straight from Explore Kentucky Lake guides.

If you're a fly rod junkie like me, dreamin' of those subtle strikes, you'll dig how these bass are actin' sneaky-smart right now, hittin' finesse presentations in the shallows. Let's dive into the fresh buzz. First off, history in the makin' at the Bassmaster Classic 2026 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Dylan Nutt from Bass Nation crushed it, becomin' the first grassroots angler to snag the win – talk about an underdog tale that'll fire up any local caster. Before the 1st Cast Podcast recaps the whole epic showdown, with Nutt's forward-facin' sonar tricks pullin' massive bags from tough spots. Hot spots are heatin' up nationwide. Out West, Castaic Lake in California is dealin' good bass in 7 to 15 feet – Chad Burton and Chris Borden report solid action there, with the lake sittin' at 80 percent full. Lake Nacimiento's boatin' up to 100 bass per outing for local teams, per the same crew. Lake Isabella's bite is solid too, risin' to 48 percent capacity. Pyramid Lake hit 92 percent after winter drawdown, and bass are keyin' on structure. Head to Hart Park Lake or Buena Vista for decent grabs, especially post-trout plants. East Coast vibes? Maryland's Chesapeake Bay has big largemouth kickin' into pre-spawn in mid-40s water temps, per the Maryland Fishing Report – they're mixin' with crappie in the shallows, perfect for light leaders and small streamers. On The Water's Striper Migration Map notes schoolies and slots hittin' sod banks in Jersey back bays on outgoing tides, with big breeders migratin' up steep channels toward spawn rivers. Notable catches? While stripers are stealin' some shine with NC's Tar-Pamlico and Neuse rivers openin' April 1-30 for hook-and-line harvest (NC Wildlife Resources Commission proclamation, one fish over 18 inches, report your keep), largemouth are the real stars. Lake Amador staff notes good bass action, and Big Bear Lake had a 4.46-pound rainbow beast, but bass are stackin' limits nearby. Bonus nugget: Bass Pro Tour's hittin' uncharted Texas waters on Lakes Whitney and Waco soon – no hydrilla flats here, just rugged terrain for sight fishin' spawners. Kentucky Lake's warmin' fast, spawn phase creepin' closer with record highs. There ya go, tight lines and keep it local. Thanks for tunin' in, come back next week for more.

If you're used to delicate dry flies dancin' on trout streams, imagine tradin' that finesse for the heart-p poundin' thump of a lunker largemouth suckin' up a spine craw like it's candy. Let's dive into the fresh action that's got every bank angler grinnin'. First off, hats off to 14-year-old phenom Bennett Bullard, who straight-up owned the Arkansas High School Bassers Tournament on Lake Ouachita March 14. This kid hooked a monster 10.27-pound largemouth not once, but twice—first she broke off his line, then he reeled her in after spotin' her on Livescope in 7 feet of stained water. Outdoor Life reports he donated that trophy to Arkansas' Legacy Lunker program, the 15th big bass this spawn season for hatchery breedin'. That's next-level grit, folks—proves even young guns are smashin' records while keepin' 'em in the gene pool. Speakin' of lunkers, Texas is on fire with their ShareLunker program through March 31—call 'em if you nab a 13-plus pounder for prizes and spawnin' glory. Texas Parks and Wildlife notes a fresh 14.35-pound waterbody record breaker, and Possum Kingdom Lake's all-tackle largemouth hit 16.02 pounds back in '89, but recent pulls like a 10.85-pounder show they're still kickin'. Meanwhile, that legendary 15-pound Massachusetts ice-caught largemouth from '75? On The Water podcast with Mark Burgess is diggin' into if it'll ever fall—talk about a record with mystery. Hot spots? Michigan just climbed to number 3 in FishingBooker's 2026 Best Fishing States Index, thankin' to unmatched Great Lakes access, 11,000 inland lakes, and bass heaven for largemouth and smallmouth. They top geography scores at 34.5 out of 45—perfect for you fly folks lookin' to swing streamers on smallies. Florida still rules number 1, but Michigan's affordability and variety, includin' pike and perch chasers, make it a no-brainer road trip. Connecticut's droppin' hints too—hit drop-offs, rocky lumps, and deep weed beds for pre-spawn bass before ice fully melts. And get this: 22-year-old Dylan Nutt just dominated the 2026 Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee River, takin' grassroots talent to the grand stage per The Fishing Wire. Plus, Fishing Clash renewed as title sponsor for Major League Fishing's Bass Pro Tour Angler of the Year—pros hittin' Wheeler Lake right now for the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit, chasin' five-fish limits. Whether you're sight-fishin' beds or trollin' timber like Bennett, spring's callin'—grab light tackle, watch those water temps climb into the 60s, and chase the thump.

Outdoor Life reports he donated that trophy to Arkansas' Legacy Lunker program, the 15th big bass this spawn season for hatchery breedin'. That's next-level grit, folks—proves even young guns are smashin' records while keepin' 'em in the gene pool. Speakin' of lunkers, Texas is on fire with their ShareLunker program through March 31—call 'em if you nab a 13-plus pounder for prizes and spawnin' glory. Texas Parks and Wildlife notes a fresh 14.35-pound waterbody record breaker, and Possum Kingdom Lake's all-tackle largemouth hit 16.02 pounds back in '89, but recent pulls like a 10.85-pounder show they're still kickin'. Meanwhile, that legendary 15-pound Massachusetts ice-caught largemouth from '75? On The Water podcast with Mark Burgess is diggin' into if it'll ever fall—talk about a record with mystery. Hot spots? Michigan just climbed to number 3 in FishingBooker's 2026 Best Fishing States Index, thankin' to unmatched Great Lakes access, 11,000 inland lakes, and bass heaven for largemouth and smallmouth. They top geography scores at 34.5 out of 45—perfect for you fly folks lookin' to swing streamers on smallies. Florida still rules number 1, but Michigan's affordability and variety, includin' pike and perch chasers, make it a no-brainer road trip. Connecticut's droppin' hints too—hit drop-offs, rocky lumps, and deep weed beds for pre-spawn bass before ice fully melts. And get this: 22-year-old Dylan Nutt just dominated the 2026 Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee River, takin' grassroots talent to the grand stage per The Fishing Wire. Plus, Fishing Clash renewed as title sponsor for Major League Fishing's Bass Pro Tour Angler of the Year—pros hittin' Wheeler Lake right now for the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit, chasin' five-fish limits. Whether you're sight-fishin' beds or trollin' timber like Bennett, spring's callin'—grab light tackle, watch those water temps climb into the 60s, and chase the thump. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all—come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Tight lines!

Artificial Lure here, and buddy, if you haven't been paying attention to what's happening on the water right now, you're missing out on some absolutely bonkers fishing. We're talking record-breaking heat surging across the country this week, and the bass are responding like someone just flipped a switch. According to Bass Forecast's 10-day outlook, a massive warming trend is pushing water temperatures up fast, and that's triggering what they're calling the first true pre-spawn push of the season. For those of us who love working shallow water and targeting structure, this is basically Christmas in March. Here's what's happening region by region. In the Great Plains, they're expecting the bite to go from good to absolutely epic as that warm water sends waves of pre-spawn bass sliding shallow. The forecast says the biggest bass in every lake move first, so if you're thinking about landing a lifetime personal best, this weekend might be your shot. Meanwhile, up north where ice is still hanging around, anglers need to be smart about safety during rapid thaws, but once conditions stabilize, expect that same pre-spawn magic to unfold. The Southeast is seeing the bite transition from tough to good, with patterns shifting across the board. In some shallow ponds and warmer lake sections, bass are already spawning or post-spawn, while deeper zones are still in that prime pre-spawn window. Down in South Florida, things are already moving into early summer feeding patterns, so if you're heading that way, adjust your presentations accordingly. Now, if you want to see some serious bass action, keep your eyes on what's happening in Texas. According to Major League Fishing, the Bass Pro Tour is heading to O.H. Ivie and Lake Brownwood next week for Stage 4, and these waters have earned a seriously impressive reputation. O.H. Ivie has produced more trophy bass exceeding 13 pounds than any other Texas fishery over the past five years. That's a lot of ShareLunkers. The lakes are relatively deep and rocky with massive amounts of structure, so expect a mix of offshore sonar work and traditional shallow patterns as fish transition toward the spawn. Lake Brownwood will serve as the knockout round venue, and it's loaded with rock, docks, and wood that'll reward anglers willing to slow down and pick apart the cover. This time of year, with fish actively moving shallow, you're looking at a scenario where multiple seasonal patterns could overlap on the same body of water. Speaking of trophy potential, Maryland is making waves in the fishing world too. According to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources fishing report, the state just climbed to number two on FishingBooker's best US fishing states list, jumping up from seventh place last year. With roughly a fifth of the state covered by water, Maryland offers insane opportunities for both saltwater and freshwater anglers.

Bass ain't trout, but man, these lunkers pull like a steelhead on steroids—grab your 8-weight and pretend it's a streamer setup. Let's dive into the latest U.S. bass buzz that's got lines tight from Tennessee to Texas. First off, massive congrats to 22-year-old phenom Dylan Nutt from Nashville, Tennessee—he just dominated the 2026 Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee River in Knoxville. Nutt sacked up 66 pounds 13 ounces over three days, pocketing $300,000 and a heap of glory, according to Bassmaster and Johnson City Press reports. Kid's a wizard with forward-facing sonar, sparking all kinds of chatter about tech takin' over the sport—some pros love it, others want it banned like in half of Bassmaster's tourneys this year. Young guns like him are rewritin' the rules, winnin' big without decades on the water. Hot spots? Lake Sam Rayburn in Texas is firin' up for the Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash April 17-19, with $590,000 guaranteed cash, a Phoenix bass boat, Dodge truck, and over $250,000 in hourly payouts—$2,500 for the heaviest hourly fish, per Kicks105. Lake Conroe just hosted a Texas B.A.S.S. Nation tourney where Colby Bryant won with 23.72 pounds, kicker a 6.80-pounder, and Bryan Trahan sacked 22.22 including a 5.75 beast on swimbaits. Up north, Lake Guntersville in Alabama delivered 4-pound largemouths mid-snowstorm last week, Champion Jigs Outdoors crew pullin' 'em on lizards and chatterbaits in Champion Jigs video. And don't sleep on Bois d’Arc Lake in North Texas—kayak anglers are callin' it the state's sleeper hit. Notable catches? While targetin' bass, Georgia guide Silas Turner boated a monster 31-pound-14-ounce longnose gar on Lake Blackshear—nearly 5 feet long, smashin' the state record by ounces, says AgroLatam U.S. That thrashin' fight? Pure chaos, even on 50-pound braid. Georgia's pushin' the Bass Slam too, challengin' you to catch all 10 black bass species like shoal, redeye, and Altamaha for swag and glory via Georgia Wildlife. Maryland's rockin' #2 in FishingBooker's 2026 Best Fishing States, nippin' at Florida's heels with Chesapeake Bay bass and more, Southern Maryland Chronicle notes—prime for you fly folks eyein' stripers too.

Picture this: a 22-year-old Tennessee hotshot, Dylan Nutt, just schooled the pros at the 2026 Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee River in Knoxville. Kid from Nashville, fished high school circuit with Sale Creek squad, climbed from B.A.S.S. Nation clubs to snag $300K and the crown. First Nation qualifier to win in 32 years! Newschannel9.com reports he hauled 66 pounds 13 ounces over three days, smashing a tournament-best 26-11 bag on day two with forward-facing sonar on pre-spawn staging spots in Fort Loudoun Reservoir. Caught keepers from 1.5 to 8 feet deep, mixing largemouth and smallies on pea gravel banks and creek backs. Wired2fish.com spills he dialed in with a secret unreleased Berkley Lab Series Minnow prototype, straight outta their Iowa lab. That bait's droppin' later this year, folks. Local hero Dillon Falardeau, Chickamauga Lake guide, ripped a 20-11 comeback sack on day two to crack top 25, finished 24th for $12K. Threw spinnerbaits at laydowns, preachin' to kids: grind hard, dreams come true. Bassmaster.com says Nutt's prep was key, fishin' those waters daily for a month pre-event. "I know this place better than my home lake," he grinned. Hot spots buzzin' now? That Tennessee River system's on fire post-Classic, especially Fort Loudoun and Chickamauga for prespawn beasts. Anglerschannel.com notes patterns holdin' on current-swept clay banks and gravel, 8-30 feet with bait schools. South Georgia blackwater rivers like those in GON.com are stainin' up from rain, perfect for stealthy river bassin' if you're chasin' that murky magic. And Zack Birge just dominated Lake Waco on the Bass Pro Tour, 75-pound total over scorable bass, per Anglers Pro Tackle. Fun twist for you fly folks: these bass are schooled tight like tailin' reds, hittin' minnow imitations precise as a dry fly drop. Student Angler League's rampin' spring trails too, hittin' Lake Keowee March 28 for young guns. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all. Come back next week for more bass buzz.

Artificial Lure here with your weekly rundown of what's happening in the bass fishing world, and let me tell you, things just got real interesting. First up, we've got ourselves a bonafide champion. A 22-year-old phenom named Dylan Nutt from Nashville, Tennessee just absolutely dominated the 2026 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Under Armour. The kid hauled in a three-day total of 66 pounds and 13 ounces, which was enough to take home the title. What makes this even cooler is that Nutt came up through the B.A.S.S. Nation program, making him only the second B.A.S.S. Nation angler ever to win the Classic. This guy's got skills, and at 22 years old, he's proving that the next generation of bass anglers isn't just ready—they're dominating. The Classic went down on the Tennessee River in Tennessee, and from what we're seeing, the competition was absolutely brutal out there. It's the kind of event that separates the serious anglers from the weekend warriors. Now, if you're looking for some solid fishing opportunities closer to home, check out Oologah Lake in Oklahoma. This place is a legitimate hotspot that deserves way more attention than it gets. The lake's got serious real estate with over 216 miles of shoreline and plenty of depth to explore—we're talking up to 72 feet in some spots. Bass fishing there has been fair recently with anglers reporting success on crankbaits, grubs, inline spinnerbaits, and minnows around brush structure and channels. The water's sitting at about 57 degrees right now, and while it's a bit murky, that can actually work in your favor if you know what you're doing. The U.S. Corps of Engineers manages campgrounds at Oologah with full RV hookups and boat ramps, so it's got solid infrastructure. The Red Bud Bay Marina also offers a fishing dock with easy access if you want to skip the boat launch. There are plenty of tackle shops in the area too, so you won't be caught without gear. Just a heads up—Oklahoma's got some new rules in place that require non-residents to check in and out of certain fishing areas as of 2025. No cost involved, just a quick process to help them understand how the resource is being used. If you're feeling adventurous, Oologah's also stocking hybrid striped bass and walleye regularly, so you could branch out from straight bass fishing if you wanted. Plus, the paddlefish season just kicked off on the Verdigris River near there, and reports say they're in great numbers right now. What I love about this moment in bass fishing is watching guys like Dylan Nutt come up and remind us all why we love this sport. He's young, hungry, and he just proved on one of the biggest stages in fishing that skill and dedication pay off. Meanwhile, spots like Oologah are out there waiting for the next generation of anglers to discover them. Thanks so much for tuning in to Artificial Lure!

Ivie lakes in West Texas just dished out three Legacy Class beasts over 13 pounds each - that's the second double lunker day of 2026 already. Lawrence Lee from Tolar hauled in a 13.12-pounder at J.B. Thomas on a guided trip, sinking his bait in 20 feet and watching her hop right into the net like it was nothin'. His adrenaline dumped hard when it certified. Then over at O.H. Ivie, guide Marsh flipped a 6th Sense Panorama on a bed fish for a 13.65-pound personal best, screamin' across the lake. Angler Self capped it with a 13.73-pounder near dark, his second fish of the day after teasin' her with baits. These West Texas reservoirs have cranked out dozens of giants thanks to TPWD's habitat tweaks and stocking - O.H. Ivie's at 62 Legacy Class since 2020. Hot spots don't get hotter, y'all. And today, March 14, the Bassmaster Classic is kickin' off Day 1 in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Fort Loudoun and Tellico Lakes, as shown in Bassmaster's live highlights. Anglers are pullin' keepers like a near-4-pound largemouth on the fourth cast, peeling off the bottom with Carolina rigs and spinnerbaits. It's Tennessee River magic, with pros fired up on those dandies. Elsewhere, Edwin Evers topped the Bass Pro Tour Stage 3 qualifying on Lake Waco with 44 pounds, 11 ounces of scorable bass, per Major League Fishing. High school hotshots Parker Smith and Carson Randan won the Bassmaster High School Classic Exhibition on Watts Bar with umbrella rigs and swimbaits in shallow brush, sackin' a 3, 4, and 5-pounder despite the wind. Down south, Quinton McMichael nabbed nice bass on the lower Altamaha River, says Joshua Barber's report. These pigs are keyin' on beds, deep structure, and river edges this spring. Texas management proves bass are thriving bigger than ever - might make you fly guys jealous of the arm burn. Thanks for tunin' in, tight lines and quiet casts. Come back next week for more.

Artificial Lure here, and let me tell you, if you've been itching to get out on the water, this is your moment. Spring is absolutely exploding across the country right now, and the bass are in full spawn mode, which means they're aggressive, territorial, and ready to crush whatever you throw at them. Let's start out west where things are heating up big time. According to Arizona State Parks, spring bass fishing is reaching peak conditions in places like Alamo Lake and Lake Havasu. The warming water temperatures are pushing bass into shallow areas near shore where they're building nests and getting defensive. This is exactly the kind of aggressive fishing we live for. The territorial spawners are hammering artificial baits left and right, and for anyone looking to get into bass fishing, Arizona right now is basically paradise. Just remember to practice catch and release during the spawn so these fish can protect their eggs. Down in Arkansas, things are getting wild too. According to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Dierks Lake just announced itself as the state's top tournament fishing destination for 2025, and for good reason. During just five tournaments last year, the average winning weight was nearly 21 pounds. That's the kind of consistent quality fishing that makes a lake worth the drive. Lake Beaver and Lake Ouachita are still holding strong as well, with plenty of big bass moving through the system. Speaking of big bass, Georgia just saw an absolute monster land on the scales. According to Field and Stream, professional guide Silas Turner caught a record-breaking 31-pound, 14-ounce longnose gar on Lake Blackshear while targeting spawning largemouth bass. Turner hooked this thing on a half-ounce jig meant for bass, and it took him 20 minutes of pure battle before he could wrestle it onto the deck. This thing dethroned a previous record from 2022 and proves that spring's surprises aren't always what you expect. Now, if you want to see the absolute best bass anglers in the world do their thing, pay attention. According to the Sporting News and the Bassmaster organization, the 2026 Bassmaster Classic is happening this weekend in Knoxville, Tennessee. The tournament kicks off on the Tennessee River with live coverage starting Saturday morning at 8 AM on Bassmaster.com, then moving to Fox from noon to 3 PM. The weigh-ins happen at Food City Center, and the best part? It's free to watch. This is the Super Bowl of bass fishing, and 50 of the nation's top anglers are competing for glory on Fort Loudoun and Tellico Lakes. Over in Kentucky, anglers are finding that prespawn bass are responding beautifully to crankbaits along gravel points and chunk rock shorelines. Kentucky Lake's endless structure is producing consistent action right now, especially with suspending jerk baits and deep runner crankbaits in crawfish and Tennessee shad patterns.

If you're a fly rodder dreamin' of tradin' that whippy stick for a bass stick, listen up—these hogs are heatin' up just like your favorite dry fly hatch. First off, the Bassmaster Classic is kickin' off right now, March 12-15 on the Tennessee River in Knoxville. LightandChampion reports two Texans are in the mix among 58 pros battlin' the rocky Holston and French Broad confluence, plus ledge-filled Fort Loudoun and Tellico. Daiwa's sponsorin' the kickoff party tonight at Covenant Health Park, showin' off their new 2026 Tatula Elite reels—lightweight beasts with 9.2:1 gear ratios for skippin' finesse rigs into tight spots. Pros like Brandon Palaniuk and the Johnston brothers are reppin' hard, usin' forward-facin' sonar to nail pre-spawn staging fish. It's the Super Bowl of bass, free to watch, and Bassmaster says the water levels are fluctuatin' wild—perfect chaos for big limits. Down in Louisiana, LouisianaSportsman just dropped a gem: Ethan Sims, a 27-year-old from Many, bagged an 11.54-pound pre-spawn female at Toledo Bend on Valentine's Day. Fishin' a creek in 10 feet with forward-facers, he blind-cast a Texas-rigged plastic three times—third time she thumped it subtle, then dragged him silly. Tagged and released alive at Living the Dream weigh station, qualifyin' for a free replica mount. Toledo Bend's mid-lake creeks are hot now with 80-degree days pushin' big girls up from 100 yards out. That's a lifetime fish for a guy whose PB was 8 pounds—talk about upgradin'! Hot spots? BassForecast says the Southeast—Alabama to Louisiana—is goin' from fair to epic pre-spawn to spawn. Hit shallow flats, secondary points, and transition banks with jigs, shaky heads, or wacky rigs. Big females are pushin' shallow first, especially in warm creek arms. Southwest's strong too in CA and AZ reservoirs, mixin' pre-spawn with early spawn. Midwest and Great Plains seein' the first big push—get on drop-offs and bluffs before storms roll. MajorLeagueFishing notes spotted and largemouth bitin' solid at Pickwick and Lake Waco, where one angler sacked 8- to 9-pounders. Pre-spawn's on fire nationwide with warmer temps—presentation and speed are key. Imagine sightin' a 10-pounder stage like a risin' trout, then slidin' a bait right in her face.

Hit Buckskin Mountain or River Island along the Colorado River for shore access – 10-pounders at Roper Lake are chompin' stocked trout, accordin' to their updates. Notable catches?

Bassmaster reports that the 2026 Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee River out of Knoxville is setting up to be a heavyweight showdown, with pros talking about 17 pounds a day – or more – to win. They’re hyped because the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency just standardized the size limit to 15 inches for all black bass, which means a lot of those 2.5- to 3‑pound smallmouth that got tossed back in past years now go in the box. Bassmaster also points out rumors and pics of legit 10‑pound largemouth from Fort Loudoun, including a 10‑11 caught there in March 2025 as part of a 29‑pound limit, so that place is absolutely on the “could break your personal best” list. If you’re a fly angler dabbling in bass, that Tennessee River system is basically streamer heaven right now: clear stretches on Fort Loudoun and Tellico with prespawn smallies sliding up, perfect for big articulated baitfish patterns or neutrally buoyant jerkbait-style flies pinned on those staging points and channel swings. Slide southwest and Major League Fishing has the Bass Pro Tour hitting Texas, with Stage 3 on Lake Whitney for qualifying and Lake Waco for the Knockout and Championship rounds, according to The Lakelander and MLF coverage. Lake Whitney is a deep, clear highland reservoir with both largemouth and some surprisingly beefy smallmouth – local pro Alton Jones is talking 4‑ to 5‑pound smallies in the mix and predicting something around a 9‑pound big fish there and possibly a 10‑plus, maybe even 12, out of Waco. Waco’s shallower and more weather‑driven, so a warm spell could shove fish shallow in a hurry. If you like fishing big deer-hair divers or game changers over rocky points and bluffs, Whitney’s layout screams “trout guy crossed over to the dark side.” Down on the Gulf side, Louisiana is making a sneaky play to tune up its bass scene. Louisiana Sportsman reports that the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is asking tournament anglers to feed their results into the LATRIP database to help fine‑tune management. They’re especially watching places like False River, Chicot Lake, Vernon Lake, Indian Creek, Saline–Larto, Lake Bruin, and Lake St. John. Those are classic “local knows” spots where you can get into quality largemouth without the circus of a big national event. For the fly folks, a lot of that water sets up shallow with wood, pads, and grass – perfect for poppers, frog flies, and big buggy offerings swung around cypress knees.

Artificial Lure here, and let me tell you, we're in one of the most exciting windows of the bass fishing year right now, and the action across the country is absolutely firing up. Let's start with what's happening on the water. According to Bass Forecast's 10-day outlook, a warming trend is loosening winter's grip across the Northeast, and pre-spawn season is either starting now or about to kick off depending on where you are. Here's the thing that gets me excited: the biggest bass in every lake move first. This early window is your golden ticket to stick that giant everyone talks about all season long. The key is timing. When your favorite lakes flip from winter mode to pre-spawn mode, that's your signal to get there early and get to work. Down in the Southeast, things are already heating up with conditions ranging from fair to epic. According to Bass Forecast, shallow ponds and the warmest creek arms are already showing spawn and post-spawn behavior, while deeper lakes and cooler main-lake zones are still in pre-spawn to spawn mode. That mix gives you a wide strike zone, and the recommended baits are jigs, shaky heads, craws, tubes, wacky rigs, and soft jerkbaits. Target those shallow flats, secondary points, and transition banks adjacent to bedding zones. Over in the Midwest and Great Plains, pre-spawn is on at many locations in the southern portions, and if you're chasing those early season giants, now's the moment. The biggest bass move up first, so knowing the exact day that first wave slides up could mean the difference between a regular weekend and a personal best memory. Speaking of tournaments, the 2026 Bass Pro Tour Stage 3 just kicked off in Central Texas. According to reports, 51 of the world's top professional bass anglers are competing for a top prize of 150,000 dollars across Lake Whitney and Lake Waco. Days one and two featured the qualifying round on Lake Whitney, and the knockout and championship rounds are happening on Lake Waco. This is elite-level fishing showcasing some of the best bass waters in the country. Out at the Lake of the Ozarks, Major League Fishing is converging this weekend for the Toyota Series event. According to fishing guide Jack Uxa, a roster full of the region's best bass-fishing pros and co-anglers will be on the water, with the tournament running Tuesday through Thursday next week. Up for grabs are prizes up to one hundred thousand dollars in the pro division and a new Phoenix boat package in the co-angler division. Here's what's wild: according to Major League Fishing's livestream coverage, we're seeing anglers putting together massive bags. One angler closed with a three-fish flurry in the final fifteen minutes, finishing with fifty-six pounds, twelve ounces on twenty-three scorable bass for the day one lead. That's the kind of bite we all dream about.

First off, monster news from World Bass Enterprises: over 145 top dogs like Trey McKinney, Cory Johnston, Drew Gill, and Jacob Wheeler from the Bassmaster Elite and MLF Bass Pro Tour just committed to The Champions tournament. It's the first-ever world bass title fight, October 28 to November 1 on Old Hickory Lake near Nashville, Tennessee, with a jaw-droppin' $3 million purse – $1.25 mil to the winner! Picture this: five days at Sanders Ferry Park, fireworks, flyovers, kid fishin' games, and a pro-am at Percy Priest with celebs. Old Hickory's your hot spot right now – those ledges and points are callin' pre-spawn hogs shallow. Speakin' of hot zones, Bass Forecast's 10-day outlook screams opportunity. Southeast from Florida to Tennessee? Epic to fair, with pre-spawn bass pushin' to secondary points, transition banks, and flats near spawn coves – chuck soft jerkbaits, Ned rigs, or lipless cranks where you'd nymph a tailout. Southwest like California and Arizona? Same deal, multiple patterns firin' on big reservoirs. Rockies and Great Plains southern edges? Big females leadin' the pre-spawn charge to migration routes – get there first for PB glory. Even Midwest and Northeast are thawin' into good-to-tough winter-to-pre-spawn shifts on drop-offs and bluffs with drop shots or spybaits. Storms brewin', so watch the skies, but warmer temps mean bank-beaters can cast to giants that wintered deep. No massive lunker reports yet, but MLF's Stage 3 on Lake Whitney, Texas, just launched – Ott DeFoe smashed 50 pounds Day 1 on Hartwell earlier, hintin' Texas waters are boilin'.

Artificial Lure here, bringing you the hottest catches and happenings from the bass fishing world this week. Let's kick things off with some absolutely wild news from Texas. According to Outdoor Life, Dale Washington just pulled a monster 13.38-pound largemouth from Lake Fork near Dallas. This guy has been fishing that lake for forty years, and he knew exactly where to hunt. He was casting a red-chrome Hags Chatterbait into a stump-filled creek when he hooked into something serious. The fight was intense, with the bass trying to wrap his line around stumps and roots, but Washington managed to land it without jumping. Here's the kicker, folks: it's only been about five years since someone caught a bass over thirteen pounds on Lake Fork, and Washington himself hadn't landed one that size since 2007. He donated this beast to Texas Parks and Wildlife's ShareLunker Program, which means it'll be spawned to produce more trophy fish. Pretty cool way to give back. Speaking of big fish, Arkansas just had its own moment to celebrate. According to KTLO, a Benton angler named Rod Martinez landed a 10.22-pound Legacy Lunker at Lake Monticello. What makes this catch interesting is that Martinez was fishing with a jig and absolutely crushing it, landing fourteen fish total in a single day. The lake has been producing exceptional growth, with bass gaining nearly two pounds per year, according to AGFC district supervisor Ryan Mozisek. That's roughly double the typical growth rate for many Arkansas lakes, so if you're looking for trophy water, Lake Monticello is definitely worth the drive. Now, if you're looking at competitive action, Patrick Walters just made history. According to Yamaha Outboards, Walters became the first angler in National Professional Fishing League history to claim the triple crown: a Regular Season shield, an Angler of the Year shield, and the NPFL Championship shield. The championship tournament happened recently on Smith Lake in Alabama, and Walters absolutely dominated. That's the kind of consistency that separates the pros from the rest of us weekend warriors. Another pro scored big too. According to Major League Fishing, Takahiro Omori claimed his first career Bass Pro Tour victory at Lake Hartwell in South Carolina, pocketing a cool one hundred twenty-five grand. For a guy who'd been chasing tour wins since 2018, this breakthrough moment came after fifty-seven Bass Pro Tour events. Talk about persistence paying off. March is turning out to be prime spawning season, and according to SpaceFish, we're looking at a full moon, which means bass are heading to shallower waters to feed aggressively. The water is finally warming up from winter, making March an excellent time to get out on the water. If you're in the Southeast, especially around areas like Lake Hartwell and Lake Fork, conditions are shaping up beautifully.

February's been absolutely insane out there, folks, and if you haven't been paying attention to what's happening in the bass world, you're missing out big time. Let's kick things off in Texas, where the ShareLunker program is absolutely on fire. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, Josh Jones from Oklahoma just reeled in his fifth Legacy Class largemouth bass at O.H. Ivie—a hefty 13.51-pounder that's a recapture. This fish has been caught three times now, giving biologists incredible data on how fast these monsters grow. O.H. Ivie has produced 60 Legacy Class bass over the past six years, making it the reigning champ for most lunker-sized fish. If you're dreaming of hooking into something special, this lake is dialed in. But wait, there's more Texas madness. Austin Miles from Forney absolutely smashed the Purtis Creek State Park Lake record with a 16.04-pound monster on Monday—nearly three pounds heavier than the previous record. Same day, Andrew Scott landed a 13.62-pounder from Ellison Creek Reservoir.

Damian Thao paddled his kayak to an 18.75-pound largemouth at Eastman Lake on February 15—the new lake record.

According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, Josh Jones from Oklahoma just reeled in his fifth Legacy Class largemouth bass at O.H. Ivie—a hefty 13.51-pounder that's a recapture. This fish has been caught three times now, giving biologists incredible data on how fast these monsters grow. O.H. Ivie has produced 60 Legacy Class bass over the past six years, making it the reigning champ for most lunker-sized fish. If you're dreaming of hooking into something special, this lake is dialed in.

Artificial Lure here with your weekly rundown of what's happening in the world of freshwater fishing. Buckle up because things are getting spicy out there on the water. First up, let's talk about what's brewing on the competitive circuit. The Bassmaster Classic is coming to Knoxville on the Tennessee River in just over two weeks, and this is shaping up to be a wild ride. According to Bassmaster coverage, they've changed the smallmouth size limit from eighteen inches down to fifteen inches, which is huge news. Why? Because anglers have been avoiding smallmouth like the plague when the limit was higher. Now expect to see way more quality smallmouth catches and some sneaky fishing strategies nobody's seen before. The vibe is totally different from past years too, especially since Jeff Gustofson, the two-time defending champ, isn't in the field this time. Forward-facing sonar is still legal, so the young guns are going to have a major advantage hunting for those hidden gems. Over on the Bass Pro Tour side, things kick off next month at Lake Guntersville in Northern Alabama, which is absolute smallmouth paradise according to Major League Fishing. Guntersville has been a tournament hotspot forever, and several pros in the field have already won big events there. Now let's talk about some seriously impressive recent catches. Kayak angler Damian Thao, a two-time world freshwater kayak gold medalist, just put Eastman Reservoir in California back on the map in a big way. According to Western Outdoor News, Thao landed a seventeen-point-four-six-pound largemouth bass, which is believed to be an unofficial lake record. What makes this wild is that Eastman had been quiet for a few years, but Thao and other local kayak anglers have been putting in serious work. Thao's been crushing it with big swimbaits, landing limits over thirty pounds consistently on recent trips. The lake has trout plants coming in the next couple weeks, so the big girls are going to be feeding heavy. That's a lake worth your attention if you're chasing trophy fish. Speaking of trophy territory, California's Don Pedro Reservoir is absolutely going off right now. According to Western Outdoor News, largemouth and spotted bass are on an absolute rampage, chasing shad all over the main lake and coves. Walking baits like the Berkley Choppo are working killer, along with flukes, spoons, and umbrella rigs. If you want red-hot action, that's your spot. Looking at the bigger picture, some of the absolute best lakes for bass fishing in the United States keep showing up on everyone's radar. Lake Guntersville in Alabama, Lake Okeechobee in Florida, Lake Fork in Texas, and Lake Champlain spanning New York and Vermont are all producing consistently. Clear Lake in California, Lake St. Clair in Michigan, and Lake Chickamauga in Tennessee round out the elite circuit. Each has its own personality and best seasons, so do your homework befor This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you're a fly rod wizard eyein' those chunky largemouth and smallies, listen up – these spin-castin' boys are heatin' up spots you might wanna sneak a streamer into. Big news out of Minnesota: the DNR just dropped a game-changer on February 23. Largemouth and smallmouth bass seasons on inland waters are now open year-round, alternatin' catch-and-release with harvest periods, no closures. Minnesota DNR fisheries supervisor Eric Altena says bass pops are boomin' in size, numbers, and spread across the state – no spawn risk since they peak late May. Anglers polled in 2023? 91% lovin' it, plus nods from Leech Lake and Mille Lacs Ojibwe bands. Grab your license; regs book hittin' shelves March 1. That's prime pre-opener action for sight-fishin' beds with flies, locals. Down South, Brandon, Mississippi's Bradley Burns lit up the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League opener on Ross Barnett Reservoir February 23. Dude sacked five bass at 27 pounds, 8 ounces for his first win and $3,160 – topped by a hog 10-pound, 6-ounce largemouth on a black/blue jig, then upgraded with a bladed jig in windy flats. MajorLeagueFishing.com reports he chased big bites all day, cullin' smart. Co-angler Mitchell Bond nabbed 12-13 on three fish for $1,490, includin' a 7-pounder. Ross Barnett's shallow hard bottoms and main-lake flats? Hot ticket for reaction strikes – think sub-surface flies bouncin' off chunk rock. Hot spots screamin' right now: Minnesota's inland lakes for that new endless C&R grind, Ross Barnett for jiggin' giants, and keep an eye on Leech Lake – it's hostin' the 2026 Strike King Bassmaster College Championship outta Walker. Northlandfan says it's primed for big college bags. Kentucky Lake's always a bass factory too, per ExploreKentuckyLake.com, with crappie bonuses if you're mixin' it up. Burns' 10-6 brute? That's the kinda lunker makin' fly guys jealous – imagine strippin' a bunny leach for that pull. Bass are thrivin', regs loosin' up, tournaments poppin'. Get after it quiet-like before the crowds.

First off, massive congrats to Pake South from Winnsboro, Texas, who just rewrote the Bassmaster Opens record books at Sam Rayburn Reservoir. Bassmaster reports he sacked up a monster three-day total of 96 pounds, 15 ounces - the heaviest winning weight ever in Opens history or any three-day B.A.S.S. tourney. Dude kicked it off with 28-1, then crushed 34-4 and 34-10 the next days. Sam Rayburn's on fire, locals say those deep ledges and hydrilla edges are holdin' giants, perfect for a Texas rig or frog if you're feelin' bold. Think of it like strippin' a streamer into structure, but with bigger lips. Up in California, Brennan Osborn took down the WON Bass Lake Shasta Open, per The Bass Cast. Shasta's smallies and spots are keyin' on shad schools this time of year - hit those points and drop-offs with a swimbait or jig. Day one was near record-breakin', so if you're road-trippin' west, pack the kayak; those DIY builds from Fishing the DMV YouTube vids are makin' waves for river-to-big-water bass hunts. Phoenix Bass Fishing League was poppin' too - weigh-ins at Ross Barnett Reservoir in Mississippi and Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri on Feb 21, Major League Fishing says. Ozarks is a classic for suspendin' jerkbaits over brush piles, while Ross Barnett's grass lines are givin' up solid limits. And don't sleep on Wisconsin's Quiet Lakes in Chequamegon National Forest - Islands.com calls out Lost Land, Teal, and Ghost for pristine bassin' with a 10-mph speed cap keepin' it serene like your favorite remote creek. Largemouth cruise those undisturbed weed beds, mixin' with pike and crappie; paddle in quiet, no jet ski racket, spot eagles and loons while you wait for the tick. Bass Pro Tour's Stage 2 wrapped Day 3 same weekend, with top dogs battlin' for championship spots. Youth and college crews hittin' Rayburn and Lake Seminole next - Abu Garcia High School Fishing weigh-ins showed Seminole's grass mats are loaded. These spots are heatin' up as waters warm - Sam Rayburn, Shasta, Ozarks, they're the hot tickets for lunkers right now. Whether you're flippin' jigs or daydreamin' fly-style topwater eats, get after it safe. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all. Come back next week for more.

If you're a fly rod junkie like me, dreamin' of those streamer strips for smallies, you'll dig how these chunkers are lightin' up the conventional scene right now. Let's dive into the fresh hauls that'd make your dry fly quiver. Texas is straight fire with the Toyota ShareLunker program, where TPWD tracks monster largemouths over 13 pounds. Guide Rob Ramsey Sr. just yanked a 13.75-pounder from Hords Creek Reservoir, smashin' the lake record held by Gary Comedy's 12.96 from back in 2011. He knew it was a pig when it hit 20 feet off the boat, and his buddy Blake netted it clean. That's the 80th public lake in Texas to cough up a Legacy Class beast, provin' any ol' spot could hide your PB. Meanwhile, Brandon Burks from Stephenville boated a 13.16-pounder from J.B. Thomas usin' his signature swimjig in Storminator pink—named after his wife—on forward-facing sonar in stained, low-50s water. J.B. Thomas owned 2024 with its first two Legacy fish and keeps pumpin' elites, thanks to TPWD's habitat tweaks and stocking magic. Head east to Georgia, where Ocmulgee Public Fishing Area's crankbait king Ken Burke limited out with 7 bass totallin' 33 pounds on one trip, topped by a 6-pounder in 3-10 feet. He followed with 11 more up to 6-9. North Florida crews smoked 56 bass in a day, cullin' an 8-pounder on Buzz Tail Shads and Senkos. Lake Allatoona's winter bass are feedin' steady despite cold snaps, shiftin' prespawn soon. Out west, California's Isabella Lake is dealin' quality bites on jigs and swimbaits around Rocky Point and Engineer's Point in 47-55 degree water. Pyramid Lake bass are deep to 40 feet on drop-shots and Ned rigs along bluffs. Lake Success spoons and jigs are pullin' better graders off points and dam rock. Massachusetts leaders show Webster Lake's largemouth at 23.25 inches catch-and-release, with Chicopee River and Quabbin Reservoir close behind. Hot streamer days in Georgia's rivers are turnin' on smallies when temps hit 50s—sound familiar, fly crew? MLF's 2026 Bass Pro Tour roster dropped with 51 pros, lower entry fees, and fatter Phoenix Bass Fishing League payouts—29% more for wins. Ott DeFoe sacked 52 pounds on Hartwell recently, leadin' the pack. These pigs don't care if you're chuckin' jigs or feathers; it's all about the hunt. Tight lines, y'all.

You know how we chase those delicate drifts on the river? Well, picture haulin' in a tank of a largemouth that could swallow your favorite dry fly whole. Let's dive into the hogs, honey holes, and hot tips makin' waves right now. First off, monster catches are lightin' up the scales. Ott DeFoe just crushed it on Lake Hartwell in South Carolina durin' the Bass Pro Tour Stage 2, sackin' 52 pounds even over 19 scorable bass on day one – that's some serious green beasts schoolin' up. Major League Fishing reports he's leadin' the pack, with the field stacked tight. Meanwhile, down in Texas, the ShareLunker program's on fire, trackin' lunkers over 13 pounds for breedin' stock. Wired2Fish says O.H. Ivie Lake's been spittin' out 17-pounders like candy the last few years, with 14s, 15s, and 16s barely turnin' heads. And get this – Lake Fork's dropped more than half the state's top 50 biggest bass ever, includin' the record, though those big girls can ghost you on a dime. Speakin' of spots, Texas is the undisputed bass mecca for trophies. Wired2Fish ranks 'em for 2025 data: O.H. Ivie tops the list with flooded timber and deep channels holdin' giants. Toledo Bend's stable with reboundin' hydrilla, Sam Rayburn's crankin' 30-pound tournament bags, and newcomers like Bois d'Arc – opened just last year – are already poppin' 13-pound potentials thanks to Lone Star super bass stock. Don't sleep on J.B. Thomas, a murky west Texas mudhole that's suddenly the ShareLunker king from December to January. East coasters, Hartwell's provin' why it's pro central, and Lake Guntersville in Alabama saw Ben Yarbrough win the Toyota Series with 24 pounds, 13 ounces over five fish just last weekend. Fun fact to geek out on: Texas Parks and Wildlife's ShareLunker app lets any angler log an 8-pounder or bigger, donate it live for genetics magic, and score rewards. It's turnin' everyday hauls into future lunkers statewide. Imagine if we had that for trout strains – your next brookie could be a state record breeder. Whether you're tradin' the fly for a chunker or just dreamin' of bigger battles, these US bass scenes are hummin'. Tight lines, y'all. Thanks for tunin' in, and come back next week for more.

If you're a fly rod wizard eyein' those chunky largemouth or smallies, I've got the scoop on what's poppin' right now to get your pulse racin' without the heavy tackle talk. First off, massive congrats to Ben Yarbrough from Athens, Alabama, who just sacked up five bass tippin' the scales at 24 pounds, 13 ounces to snag the win at the Phoenix Bass Fishing League on Lake Guntersville. Major League Fishing reports he pulled 'em from the grass lines, provin' that big bags are still hittin' in Alabama waters. Not far behind, Boater Emery Burnett from Appling, Georgia, hauled in 22 pounds, 1 ounce on his home turf at Clarks Hill Lake for another MLF Phoenix BFL victory. These hauls are screamin' that southern reservoirs are fired up. Hot spots? Mark your calendars for Leech Lake in Minnesota, hostin' the 2026 Strike King Bassmaster College Championship August 20-22. WJON says this 112,000-acre beast packs weed beds, rocky points, and sand flats loaded with largemouth and smallmouth. Even if it's walleye-famous up north, late summer bass action could be epic. Keep an eye on the Toyota Series schedule too: Kissimmee Chain in Florida March 4-6, Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri March 10-12, and Grand Lake in Oklahoma March 26-28, per Major League Fishing. Those are prime for droppin' flies on aggressive schools. Interestin' twist: Kentucky's got drama brewin' with hybrid F1 largemouth bass, mixin' Florida strain genetics into the population, accordin' to Outdoor News state data. Fish and Wildlife folks say most largemouth there now carry those fast-growin' Florida traits, stirrin' controversy on stocking and what it means for trophy hunts. Could make for wilder fights on the line. Up in Arkansas, Mountain Harbor Resort's fishin' report notes black bass are good on spoons, jigs around brush, or Bama rigs on Lake Ouachita, with water hittin' 74-78 degrees. Schoolin' fish are topwater ready, perfect for a fly angler sneakin' in light presentations. That's the fresh bite, y'all. Tight lines and may your next cast hook a hog.

First off, Minnesota's about to become the place to be come late summer. The Bass Anglers Sportsman Society just announced that Leech Lake is hosting the 2026 Strike King Bassmaster College Championship from August 20th through the 22nd. This is huge because it's the first time this prestigious collegiate event has ever touched Leech Lake's legendary waters. According to B.A.S.S., this third-largest Minnesota lake spans over 112,000 acres with nearly 200 miles of shoreline, and while it's world-famous for walleye, the largemouth and smallmouth bass populations are seriously impressive and growing. Glenn Cale, B.A.S.S. Tournament Manager, says competitors should expect classic northern patterns with thick grass, docks, and rock structure all playing key roles. If you're thinking about heading up there in August, expect some serious competition and even more serious fish. Now, let's talk about what's happening on the water right now. Down in Texas, things are absolutely bonkers. Travis McCollough from Abilene just smashed a new waterbody record at Fort Phantom Hill Reservoir by landing a 14.35-pound largemouth after only two and a half hours of fishing. He was crawling a Strike King football jig across the rocks, his signature move, and it paid off big time. Over at Toledo Bend, things are equally wild. Ethan Sims, a 27-year-old from Many, Louisiana, caught an 11.54-pound bass on Valentine's Day that he thought was a stump when it first showed up on his forward-facing sonar. The guy made three blind casts with a custom LSU rod and Texas-rigged plastic, and the third cast was the charm. He released the fish alive as part of the Toledo Bend Lunker Program and will get a replica mount later this spring. These pre-spawn conditions are absolutely loaded with potential right now, especially with warmer weather pushing fish into staging areas. Speaking of interesting catches, twin brothers in Arkansas landed back-to-back lunkers at DeGray Lake recently. Trace caught an 11.16-pound beauty, then minutes later, his brother Levi hooked into a 12.63-pounder that turned out to be 13 years old. That's incredibly rare for a southern largemouth. The fish had even been caught and released by another angler previously, which tells you something about trophy bass behavior and the importance of catch-and-release practices. Here's something cool for you cold-weather warriors out there: largemouth bass remain totally active under the ice during winter, even though their metabolism slows down significantly. They hold tight to structure like drop-offs, submerged timber, and weed edges. If you're an ice fishing fan, landing a heavyweight through a tiny hole is apparently incredibly satisfying. Looking ahead, Lake Hartwell in South Carolina is getting ready to host Stage 2 of the 2026 Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour, bring This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you're a fly slinger dreamin' of switchin' rods for some chunk largemouth or spots, listen up—these hawgs are fired up right now. Kickin' off with the hottest win: Alabama's Fisher Anaya just crushed the Lippert Bassmaster Elite at Lake Martin, haulin' 54 pounds, 6 ounces over four days. PR Newswire reports he sealed it Championship Sunday with a monster 15-12 limit of spotted bass in pourin' rain—every cast a 2.5-plus, includin' a near-4-pounder that smashed his dice-style bait 5 feet off the boat. He scoped prespawn females on rockpiles 5-7 feet deep in the south end's clean pockets, usin' Garmin LiveScope from 50-70 feet out. Runner-up Brock Mosley nabbed almost-4-pound largemouths shallow, but Anaya's long-distance casts and finesse nail-weight rig owned it. Lake Martin's south pockets are straight fire for spots stagein' on stumps and rocks—perfect for you fly guys imaginin' a precise streamer strip. College kids are killin' it too. Lander University's Matthew Knopp and Logan Russell snagged the 2026 MLF College Fishing National Championship on Lake Murray, totallin' 70 pounds, 10 ounces. Landerbearcats.com says they dominated close to home with career-best sacks, punchin' tickets to the Toyota Series. Lake Murray's dishin' big bass—YouTube angler vids show jiggin' cold water for 6.5-pound giants early 2026. Jig or fly a meaty bug in those depths, and you're golden. Hot spots? Texas is primed per Texs.com's 2026 guide: East Texas Pineywoods for giants, West Texas boom lakes, and deep border reservoirs. South Dakota's Roy Lake packs smallmouth bass with bluegills and pike, Midwest Lip Rippers style. And Muskegon, Michigan's gearin' for July Pro/Am at Adelaide Pointe—shallow bays screamin' potential. Notable catches: That Lake Martin 4-pounder spot's a freak—Anaya said he's never seen one that big there. Jackson Lake's got a wall-hangin' 15-8 beast, GON.com notes, grabbed bankside. One curveball: Striped bass strugglin' east coast.

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 16:12:04 -0000 full Inception Point AI Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, slingin' the latest bass buzz across the US like a sneaky topwater popper on a glassy dawn. If you're a fly slinger dreamin' of switchin' rods for some chunk largemouth or spots, listen up—these hawgs are fired up right now. Kickin' off with the hottest win: Alabama's Fisher Anaya just crushed the Lippert Bassmaster Elite at Lake Martin, haulin' 54 pounds, 6 ounces over four days. PR Newswire reports he sealed it Championship Sunday with a monster 15-12 limit of spotted bass in pourin' rain—every cast a 2.5-plus, includin' a near-4-pounder that smashed his dice-style bait 5 feet off the boat. He scoped prespawn females on rockpiles 5-7 feet deep in the south end's clean pockets, usin' Garmin LiveScope from 50-70 feet out. Runner-up Brock Mosley nabbed almost-4-pound largemouths shallow, but Anaya's long-distance casts and finesse nail-weight rig owned it. Lake Martin's south pockets are straight fire for spots stagein' on stumps and rocks—perfect for you fly guys imaginin' a precise streamer strip. College kids are killin' it too. Lander University's Matthew Knopp and Logan Russell snagged the 2026 MLF College Fishing National Championship on Lake Murray, totallin' 70 pounds, 10 ounces. Landerbearcats.com says they dominated close to home with career-best sacks, punchin' tickets to the Toyota Series. Lake Murray's dishin' big bass—YouTube angler vids show jiggin' cold water for 6.5-pound giants early 2026. Jig or fly a meaty bug in those depths, and you're golden. Hot spots? Texas is primed per Texs.com's 2026 guide: East Texas Pineywoods for giants, West Texas boom lakes, and deep border reservoirs. South Dakota's Roy Lake packs smallmouth bass with bluegills and pike, Midwest Lip Rippers style. And Muskegon, Michigan's gearin' for July Pro/Am at Adelaide Pointe—shallow bays screamin' potential. Notable catches: That Lake Martin 4-pounder spot's a freak—Anaya said he's never seen one that big there. Jackson Lake's got a wall-hangin' 15-8 beast, GON.com notes, grabbed bankside. One curveball: Striped bass strugglin' east coast.

If you're a fly rod slinger eyein' those chunky largemouth or smallies, listen up – these spin-castin' antics might just tempt you to grab a baitcaster for a day. Lake Murray in South Carolina just exploded with college fire over the weekend. Lander University's Matthew Knopp and Logan Russell snagged the 2026 Columbia PFG College Fishing National Championship, haulin' a monster three-day total of 70 pounds, 10 ounces. MajorLeagueFishing reports they hammered sneaky spots like docks, stumps, grass, cane, and brushpiles with a tiny 3/4-inch dice bait on a jighead – think finesse over power, dodgin' the pressured main-lake crowds. Day 3's 23-10 bag sealed it, edgin' University of Montevallo by just 3 pounds. These home-lake grinders from Greenwood put in endless weekends, and that final-day run-and-gun on fresh brushpiles and cane? Pure gold. Runners-up like Montevallo's James DuBose and Daylon Milam punched 69-7, advancin' to pro gigs at the Toyota Series Championship for shots at $235k and REDCREST 2027. Lake Murray's the hot spot right now – Capital City Lake Murray Country calls it a world-class fishery, hostin' this epic with 151 college teams. Pre-practice smarts paid off; they predicted jighead minnow overload and flipped the script with that Coike Creature Bait. A nerve-wrackin' near-6-pounder saved their Day 2 bacon too. Elsewhere, pre-spawn largemouth are groupin' on Inks Lake near Austin, Texas. Bassquatch Fishing says water's 56 degrees, stained, with fish stackin' on rocky banks and secondary points – crankbaits and shaky head finesse worms in 5-12 feet around docks are dealin' multiples. Warmin' temps mean the spawn's revvin' up. Tourney trails are heatin': iKon Boats Tailgate Tour kicks off February 28 on Florida's Harris Chain, no pros allowed, $10k payouts leadin' to a free Chickamauga championship. Bassmaster Elite's ragin' at Alabama's Lake Martin, where rookie Fisher Anaya leads Day 3 with 38-10. And Lake Murray hosts BFL All-American May 28-30. Bass world's poppin' – subtle baits beatin' big swings, just like switchin' flies on finicky trout. Get after it, locals. Thanks for tunin' in, come back next week for more.

Man, what a time to be a bass angler in this country right now. The water's warming up, the fish are biting, and we've got some seriously impressive catches to talk about. Let's kick things off with some jaw-dropping news out of Texas. According to San Angelo Live, an Abilene fisherman named Travis McCollough absolutely crushed it at Fort Phantom Hill Reservoir just over a week ago, landing a massive 14.35-pound largemouth bass. This wasn't just any catch either – it's now a new lake record and what they call a Legacy Class ShareLunker, which means it weighs 13 pounds or more. McCollough said he was just hoping for something decent to bring home for a tournament he had that Saturday, and then boom – ten minutes after his prayer, he had the fish of a lifetime on the line. No net needed, either. The thing just laid up sideways in the water, and he knew immediately he was looking at something absolutely huge. But wait, there's more Texas magic happening. Outdoor Life reported that fishing guide Wendell Ramsey Sr. caught a 13.76-pound largemouth at Hords Creek Lake on February 11th, setting a brand new record for that waterbody. Ramsey was throwing an umbrella rig when a massive bass rocketed past two other fish and absolutely smashed it. He described it like setting a hook into a soft log at first, then the headshakes start and you just know you've got something special. Hords Creek is now the 80th public water body in Texas to produce a Legacy Class bass, which speaks volumes about how successful the ShareLunker program has been down there. Now let's shift gears to the tournament scene. The Lippert Bassmaster Elite at Lake Martin in Alabama is heating up. According to Bassmaster, Mississippi's Brock Mosley is sitting pretty at the top after Day 2 with a total of 26 pounds, 6 ounces. The guy caught a tournament-high 15 pounds, 7 ounces on day one and managed another 10 pounds, 15 ounces on day two despite a slow morning. What's cool is he's been targeting shallow water with what he calls a fuzz ball – green pumpkin with blue or purple flake – and he's been absolutely destroying it. The water temperatures around Lake Martin have been bouncing around, and Mosley's been smart about adapting, fishing offshore when things get slow and moving back shallow when the bite kicks back in. New Jersey pro Michael Iaconelli caught the biggest bass of the tournament so far, a 5-pound, 3-ounce largemouth that's absolutely crushing the previous record. Over in the college ranks, the Columbia PFG College Fishing National Championship just wrapped up Day 2, with some serious talent competing for the ultimate prize. If you're looking to get out on the water yourself, Florida's still firing. Captain Experiences reports that the Everglades is fishing great despite the cold fronts, with both live and artificial baits working well.

If you're a fly rod junkie dreamin' of switchin' it up for some chunk largemouth or linesiders, I've got the fresh scoop that'll get your pulse racin'. We're talkin' monster catches, hot holes, and buzz that's got the bass world hummin' this February 2026. First off, Texas is on fire with legacy-class beasts. TPWD reports Travis McCollough yanked a 14.35-pound ShareLunker from Fort Phantom Hill Reservoir near Abilene – a new lake record that smoked the old one. Drake Wadsworth followed with a 13.10-pounder from Toledo Bend, pushin' the season total to four double-digit pigs already. These hawgs are proof of decades of breedin' and habitat tweaks by TPWD biologists, turnin' spots like O.H. Ivie and Alan Henry into big-bass factories. Imagine sight-fishin' those shallows with a fly – beds are poppin' early! Head to Alabama's Lake Martin, where Bassmaster Elite pros are maulin' 'em. Mississippi's Brock Mosley leads Day 1 of the Lippert event with 15 pounds, 7 ounces, grindin' plentiful but finicky fish on secondary points and drops. Bassmaster says fish are stackin' up, but size is tough – perfect for patient fly flingers chuckin' streamers to pre-spawn staging zones. Over on Lake Murray, college studs from University of Montevallo sacked 26 pounds, 6 ounces defendin' their natty title, huntin' key bites in the shallows. Hot spots? Bass Forecast's 10-day outlook screams pre-spawn across the Southeast – Alabama, Georgia, Florida, yadda yadda. Hit migration routes, secondary points, transition banks, and flats near spawners with soft jerkbaits or Ned rigs, but swap in a clouser or bugger on the fly for those big females slidin' shallow. West Coast and South? Fair to good bites dodgin' rain, while Midwest and Northeast stay winter-tough – drop-offs and basins if ice breaks. Sam Rayburn's low water is concentratin' fish like crazy, per Bassmaster, with deep points and suspended timber holdin' singles – crankbaits or jigs rule, but a slow-swingin' fly could unlock 'em. Interestin' twist: Striped bass on the Atlantic face a recruitment crisis, Midcurrent says. ASMFC kept 2026 regs status quo – 28-31 inch slot, one-fish limit – but seven years of weak baby stripers in Chesapeake and Hudson got 'em formin' a work group. Big '15-class fish are prime for fly chuckers on flats and rips, but schoolies are ghostin'. Tennessee's doublin' down too, backin' Bassmaster Classic in Knoxville and High School Nats on Kentucky Lake – expect crowds and conservation wins. Y'all, bass are bitin' if you know where to cast.

If you're a fly rod junkie like me, dreamin' of tradin' that feather for a jig on cold days, these bass tales might just hook ya. Let's dive into the fresh bites. Start with a monster catch down in Texas. Outdoor Life reports 76-year-old Travis McCollough hit Lake Fork Phantom Hill on Feb 5 for some low-key practice. Water at 45 degrees, he crawled a green pumpkin jig slow along an 8-foot ledge. After two hours and a quick prayer, bam – a 14.35-pound largemouth that couldn't even jump, she was so beefy. New lake record, third Legacy class ShareLunker this season. Fought her 20 minutes, 25 inches long, football girth. Guy's fished 40 years, calls it a blessin'. Wired2Fish echoes he hadn't wet a line in three months – talk about divine drag screamer. Hot spots are firin' up too. Outdoornews says hang your hat on Blackwater Lake near Longville, Minnesota – just 771 acres but packed with largemouth and smallmouth. High numbers, big sizes everywhere, per guide Will Neururer. Texas Parks and Wildlife weekly report from Feb 11 lights up Dunlap Lake: bass bite turned on, quality up to 7 pounds on soft plastics and crankbaits, spawn comin' soon. Limestone Lake's banks at Branch Marina, Dooley Creek, and Navasota River are gold for prespawn bed hunters. Choke Canyon Reservoir's shorelines givin' black bass if ramps are closed. Tourney buzz is huge. Tennessee Tourism's backin' the 2026 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic in Knoxville March 13-15, plus High School Nats on Kentucky Lake. TDTD calls it a world-class fishin' spot with 500,000 miles of water. Major League Fishing dropped the new Columbia PFG College Fishing Heavy Hitters Oct 25 on Douglas Lake, Tennessee – top 18 teams by biggest single bass all season.

Let's kick things off with what's happening down South. Tennessee is absolutely crushing it as a fishing destination, and they're doubling down on that commitment. The state just partnered with B.A.S.S. to host the 2026 Bassmaster Classic in Knoxville, and they're also presenting the Strike King Bassmaster High School National Championship on Kentucky Lake near Paris this summer. According to Tennessee Tourism, the state boasts 500,000 miles of rivers, lakes and streams with everything from trophy smallmouth to giant largemouth. Eighteen Bill Dance Signature Lakes are scattered throughout, making Tennessee basically a bass angler's dream playground right now. Speaking of major tournaments, the 2026 Progressive Bassmaster Elite Series just announced its field, and 101 anglers are gearing up for what looks like an absolute monster season. Last year was record-breaking with 11 century belts awarded and four first-time champions emerging from the rookie class. The Elite Series is bringing serious talent and serious competition. Now, let's talk about what's actually biting. Over in California, the Western Bass community is dealing with some Golden Mussel restrictions that have shaken things up, but anglers are adapting and finding success. Clear Lake just showed why it's called a true big-fish lake, with teams pulling multiple double-digit largemouths despite some challenging conditions. The winning formula? Minnow-style baits in the four to five inch range, and one key detail that separates the winners from everyone else is staying mobile instead of camping on one spot. Top anglers were catching a fish or two, leaving, then cycling back thirty minutes later. That rotation keeps fish active and prevents burning out areas. Down in Florida, Drew Gill just had one of those incredible days that remind us why we love this sport. The hottest angler on the planet right now weighed in 26 pounds of Florida bass on Championship Day to take down a Major League Fishing event on the Harris Chain. That's the kind of catch that gets the whole community buzzing. For you folks tracking water conditions like we should be doing, there's a free tool from the United States Geological Survey that tracks water temperature and streamflow across the country. According to reports, largemouth bass in the Deep South are already starting prespawn movement. If you're in Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, or Texas right now in mid-February, you might already be looking at prime catching time. February and March are identified as the prespawn months when some of the biggest bass of the year are most catchable. Weather's playing a role too. With warmer temperatures moving in across various regions, crappie are beginning to move toward spawning areas, but bass fishing remains solid along creek channels according This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

February and March are identified as the prespawn months when some of the biggest bass of the year are most catchable. Weather's playing a role too. With warmer temperatures moving in across various regions, crappie are beginning to move toward spawning areas, but bass fishing remains solid along creek channels according This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 214 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI2015173900 # Artificial Lure's Bass Fishing Update Hey there, bass fans! Artificial Lure here, and boy do we have some exciting news from the waters across America this week. Let's kick things off with a monster catch that just went down at Toledo Bend Reservoir on the Texas-Louisiana border. A 21-year-old angler named Drake Wadsworth landed an absolute tank of a largemouth bass weighing 13.10 pounds with a 24.76-inch length. Wadsworth was fishing in a 161-boat tournament when he spotted this lunker high up in some flooded timber on his sonar. He knew right then it was a big one. After the tournament, instead of just pocketing the prize money, Wadsworth did something pretty cool—he donated the fish to the Texas ShareLunker program so it can be used for spawning at their hatchery. Now that's what we call giving back to the fishery. Over in Florida, the bass action has been heating up too. Banks Shaw from Harrison, Tennessee, just won the Toyota Series event at Lake Okeechobee, one of the most prestigious bass fishing destinations in the country. Shaw caught a total of 15 bass weighing 49 pounds and 5 ounces, edging out Kyle Cortiana by just 3 ounces. Shaw's strategy was simple but effective—he found two areas but focused all his effort on the one spot where he knew nobody else was fishing. Smart fishing, that. Now, if you're thinking about planning a trip, Lake Erie up in Pennsylvania deserves some serious attention. According to tourism guides, Lake Erie is consistently ranked among the top bass fishing destinations in the United States. Plus, if you're into steelhead fishing when the weather cools down, Erie is known as Steelhead Alley and gets stocked with roughly a million juvenile steelhead annually. For trophy bass in the summer months, though, Erie's central basin is absolutely world-class. And here's some big news for folks fishing in Arkansas. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission just released their updated 2026 fishing guidebook with some major changes. The most notable shift is that Lake Monticello is now open to harvest after being under strict catch-and-release regulations. The lake was completely renovated after a drawdown in 2019, and it's been stocked heavily with forage and Florida bass. Anglers can now keep five largemouth bass per day with only one fish needing to be 16 inches or longer. The crappie fishing there is also supposed to be outstanding right now. For those trout fishermen out there who love working tailwaters, Arkansas made some adjustments too. Trout stocking took a hit due to flooding at the Jim Hinkle Spring River State Fish Hatchery and a major die-off at Norfork National Fish Hatchery. So they've tightened up the daily limits on trout in the Bull Shoals, Norfork, Greers Ferry, and Beaver tailwaters. You're looking at keeping two rainbow trout under 14 inches per day in most areas, with some variation depending on which section you're fishing. Looking ahead, the competitive scene is absolutely packed this year. The This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Bass fishing's been on fire across the US lately, with monsters showing up where least expected. Let's dive into the latest hooks. First off, Texas is straight-up dominating with the 2025 Toyota ShareLunker program, reports The Fishing Wire. Anglers dropped a record 1,071 lunker largemouths from 93 public lakes, including eight over 13 pounds in the Lew's Legend Class. The biggest? Cullie Belveal's 16.39-pounder from O.H. Ivie on April 2 – that's the 19th heaviest in Texas history, and get this, it was a recapture of a 16.65-pounder from 2023. Wild DNA twists too: Ross Gomez caught the same 14.78-pounder twice from Alan Henry, first time ever for one angler. Hot spots there? J.B. Thomas led with 442 entries, Lake Fork 104, Toledo Bend 89, O.H. Ivie 52. Texas Parks and Wildlife says these fat bass are fueling bigger stocks for '26 – submit via their app for a shot at prizes. Jumpin' east, Hank Cherry just snagged his first Bassmaster Elite win at Lake Guntersville, Alabama, per Bassmaster.com. The North Carolina pro totaled 88-11 over four days, capping it with a birthday bomb of 27-11 on a 3-inch chartreuse curly tail grub. Eight pros sacked over 24 pounds there, proving Guntersville's still a pig farm. Bassmaster Elite's kickin' off '26 strong with 101 pros chasing points. Down in Florida, MLF Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit Stop 1 at Harris Chain of Lakes saw Mount Carmel's Gill crush a 26-pound final-day limit on February 8 for $100k, says MajorLeagueFishing.com. Dude's 2-for-2 this season, keyin' on umbrella rigs for offshore suspenders in dirty water – three fish over 8 pounds all week. Lake Beauclair edges were gold. Out west, Clear Lake, California, is in late winter mode at 49-53 degree water temps, per WesternBass.com. Recent tourney winners sacked 45-47 pounds scoping mid-lake and Rattlesnake Arm, even with tough bites and some zeros. Big double-digit largemouths for mobile anglers. These hawgs are growin' fast, gettin' recaught, and tournaments are heatin' up nationwide. Imagine hookin' a 16-pounder on fly gear – pure adrenaline. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all.

We've got some exciting stuff happening in the bass world right now, so stick around. Let's start with what's really heating up on the tournament circuit. Major League Fishing just announced that the Bass Pro Tour is bringing two major events to Texas in March, hitting Lake Whitney and Lake Waco from March 5th through 8th. If you're looking to see how the pros handle Texas bass in early spring, that's your window. Speaking of spring tournaments, the Student Angler League has their Georgetown Weigh-in Series coming up February 7th and April 18th for both redfish and bass, so young anglers have some solid opportunities to compete and learn. Now here's something that caught my attention. The Bass Pro Tour visited Lake Murray in South Carolina recently, and according to reports from Major League Fishing, the fishing conditions were surprisingly finicky despite the lake having a healthy population of bass. Pro anglers like Luke Clausen and Britt Myers noted that while fish were present from just one foot deep all the way out to 25 feet, getting them to actually bite was the real challenge. The bass were described as educated and reluctant, often following lures but refusing to commit. This is classic prespawn behavior, and if you're heading to similar waters right now, patience and persistence are going to be your best friends. For those of you chasing big fish, check out what's been happening at Sam Rayburn Reservoir in Texas. According to reports from the MLF Toyota Series, one major difference this winter is the lack of vegetation growth across the reservoir. This is pushing anglers toward more traditional offshore patterns and targeting staging areas where bass are beginning to move toward the prespawn. If you're planning a trip out there, focus on tapering drains and deep structure. Here's some encouraging news for conservation-minded anglers. AFTCO and B.A.S.S. Nation announced that their conservation grant program is continuing strong into 2026. Since 2018, they've contributed over 177,000 dollars to grassroots bass conservation projects, funding everything from habitat enhancements to bass stocking initiatives. This partnership shows that the industry is serious about keeping our fisheries healthy for generations to come. If you're dealing with cold fronts like many anglers across the country are right now, know that you're not alone in struggling. According to reports from the National Professional Fishing League, cold fronts before the spawn are notoriously tough fishing conditions. The Carson-Newman University fishing team recently competed at Lake Okeechobee during a cold surge, and while the bite was slower than expected, they still managed to place three boats in the top ten. The key takeaway here is finding stable water, keeping your confidence up, and maximizing every opportunity when they come.

We're talkin' hawgs haulin' tail in the shallows, pre-spawn fever hittin' hard, and spots screamin' for your next cast. Kick off with the monsters makin' waves. Down in Louisiana, Gene Kidder nabbed an 11.9-pound trophy largemouth at Toledo Bend on Dec 18, fishin' with his kid – pure family gold. Just weeks later, Tater Reynolds reeled in 11.06 pounds from the same beastly bend on Jan 7, weighin' it at Buckeye Landing Marina.

Over in Florida, Cody Stahl dominated the Bassmaster Opens on the Kissimmee Chain, sackin' 74 pounds wire-to-wire by rippin' lipless crankbaits through grass on Lake Toho's south end. He bet on prespawn females stagein' shallow ahead of the full moon – and cashed in big. Jonathan Kelley snagged the 10-7 big bass honors there too. Hot spots? Texas is firin' up. Major League Fishing's Bass Pro Tour Stage 3 hits Lake Whitney and Lake Waco March 5-8 – sneaky pros like those seven to watch are gearin' for glory on these underrated gems. Lake O' The Pines hosts the massive Big Bass Bonanza May 1-3, amateur showdown with fat payouts. Eufaula, Alabama, still owns "Big Bass Capital" cred, with legends like the Ledgebuster spinnerbait from local mayor Tibbs tearin' ledges. And Toledo Bend? February's beddin' bonanza, per the locals – hit it now before the crowds. Fresh intel: South boys are jerkin' baits on bluffs and riprap, pump-pause for sluggish pre-spawn hogs. Lipless crankbaits in reds or shad patterns are killin' it over grass, ticklin' the bottom then rippin' free – Wired2Fish swears by 'em into March.

Kickin' off with tournament fireworks: Banks Shaw just scorched Lake Okeechobee in the MLF Toyota Series, nabbin' his third major win in three years by edgin' Kyle Cortiana on January 31. That Florida beast coughed up limits all weekend, provin' Okeechobee's still the bass candy store.

Dude dominated like a fly rod in a trout stream, fillin' limits with precision casts. Notable catches? Texas Parks and Wildlife logs a 10.40-pound largemouth from the Colorado River back in 2013, but fly rod heads, check this: Bryan Townsend yanked a 3.71-pound Guadalupe bass on fly in 2014 from the same waters. Solid proof spin gear ain't the only game - finesse flies work those rivers too. Hot spots buzzin' right now: Oregon's Southwest Zone is prime winter bassin'. Lost Creek Reservoir's sittin' at 46F with bass mixin' it up near the dam - PowerBait from shore or slow rubber baits from a boat. Emigrant Lake's 30% full, holdin' largemouth and smallmouth; trout school's pushin' 'em shallow. Lake Oahe in the Midwest? Gill nets show 24% smallmouth bass in lower sections per the 2026 forecast - walleye and cats too, but those bronzebacks are stackin' up. Down south, Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash gears up for Lake Guntersville in Alabama March 27-29, with massive payouts beckonin' amateurs. And piers from SoCal like Oceanside are coughin' kelp bass and spotted bay bass on bottom rigs amid mackerel runs. Fun fact to hook ya: Oregon's Tenmile Lakes got largemouth in late winter mode - ditch topwater, go subsurface mid-day for a pickup or two. Water's cool, fishin' slow but steady, kinda like nymphin' a picky brown. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all - tight lines and may your next bass inhale like a risin' trout. Come back next week for more.

Solid proof spin gear ain't the only game - finesse flies work those rivers too. Hot spots buzzin' right now: Oregon's Southwest Zone is prime winter bassin'. Lost Creek Reservoir's sittin' at 46F with bass mixin' it up near the dam - PowerBait from shore or slow rubber baits from a boat.

Down south, Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash gears up for Lake Guntersville in Alabama March 27-29, with massive payouts beckonin' amateurs. And piers from SoCal like Oceanside are coughin' kelp bass and spotted bay bass on bottom rigs amid mackerel runs. Fun fact to hook ya: Oregon's Tenmile Lakes got largemouth in late winter mode - ditch topwater, go subsurface mid-day for a pickup or two.

First off, hats off to Texas angler Ross Gomez, who's got a bromance with a monster 14-plus-pound largemouth from Lake Alan Henry. Outdoor Life reports he reeled in the exact same PIT-tagged beast on January 22 – third time in four years, from the same public dock! He was chasin' crappie with a pricey Megabass jerkbait when she slammed it hard. Gomez donated her again to Texas Parks and Wildlife's ShareLunker program; she's already spawned over 100,000 fry for stockin' lakes. Talk about a fish with nine lives – or nine pounds of fight. Speakin' of hot spots, Alabama's Lake Guntersville is primed to explode for the Bassmaster Elite opener February 5-8. Bassmaster says the grass is thick and flawless, with big females stackin' up in 3-6 feet on humps. Local guide Brad Howell predicts 24-pound daily bags if water stays above 44 degrees – prespawn gold for jiggin' or flippin'. Even fly guys might dig sight-fishin' those shallows. Up north, Massachusetts ice anglers are pullin' solid black bass from Wright Pond, Little Chauncy, South End Pond, and Lake Rohunta, per On The Water reports – jig Swedish Pimples slow over 10-14 inch ice. Conservation's heatin' up too: AFTCO and B.A.S.S. Nation just announced 2026 grants, toppin' $177,000 since 2018 for bass stockin', habitat tweaks, and youth projects. Deadline's March 31 – local clubs, get your proposals in to Gene Gilliland at B.A.S.S. And keep an eye on Canadian pro Jeff Gustafson, gearin' up for Guntersville after a rebound year, per Winnipeg Free Press. Bassmaster Classic qualifier Nick Trim's joinin' the Elite too – Pool 7 champ feelin' the pressure close to home. Bass nation's buzzin' with trophies, tournaments, and tomorrows.

Bryan Hargiss from Missouri hauled in an 11.14-pound largemouth beast from Toledo Bend near Holly Park Marina back in March—talk about a double-digit slab that'd make any streamer junkie jealous, prowlin' coves like a trophy brown. Texas reports from TPWD are hot too: Lake Ray Hubbard anglers are pullin' largemouth with 3/4-ounce Bladed Hazy Eye Slabs in 25-35 feet near timber, and Tawakoni's got 'em on main lake points in 30-35 feet usin' joggin' spoons. Fairmont Sentinel notes aggressive yellow bass schools in Minnesota's Fairmont Chain, easy to limit out now that DNR's bumpin' the bag from 30 to 100 startin' March 1—Hall and Budd lakes are prime for those frenzy feeds. Hot spots? Texas is on fire per TPWD weeklys. Hit Lake Dunlap for 3-5 pounders on creature baits around rock and wood in deep water; Arlington's winter haunts yield bass on Alabama rigs and jiggin' spoons post-cold front; Comanche Creek's warm power plant water is stacked with largemouth—deadstick stickbaits slow near bushes.

If you're a fly rod wizard eyein' the dark side of chunkin' for largemouth and smallies, listen up – these pigs are hittin' hard right now, and I've got the fresh scoop that'll make your streamer setups jealous. First off, tournament bassin's blowin' up for 2026. Major League Fishing just dropped the hammer on the Phoenix Bass Fishing League: entry fees slashed, payouts jacked sky-high, and more shots at the All-American for us everyday grinders. Boaters pay $350, co-anglers $175, with 20% of the field cashin' checks startin' at $450. MLF says it's the most rewarding season in 46 years – perfect for testin' those big swimbaits everyone's buzzin' about. Go big or go home, they say, and lakes like Clear Lake, Lake Fork, and Guntersville are swimmin' with 'em. Hot spots? Man, the Minocqua Chain in northern Wisconsin just got crowned one of Bassmaster's top 25 bass lakes in the central U.S. – think smallmouth smashin' in those crisp waters, not far from your trout streams. Down south, Florida's Harris Chain of Lakes kicks off the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit soon, and Lake Okeechobee's hostin' the Bassmaster College Series this week – shallow flats crawlin' with hawgs. Texas' Brazos River still holds that monster 11.71-pound largemouth record from 2016 by Mark Bohanan, and recent reports scream it's fishable year-round. Even forgotten rivers like the St. Lawrence or White are callin' – ditch the crowds, hit the current for underrated slabs. Notable catches? Wyatt Marler from Oldfield, Missouri, just sacked 33 pounds over two days at Bull Shoals Lake to win a BFL Super Tournament. And don't sleep on Louisiana's Cross Lake – Nathaniel Rudisill boated a 12-pound, 4-ounce beast back in '22, but word is those beds are firin' again. State records across 49 spots prove the U.S. is bass paradise, from farm ponds to giants. Fly guys, imagine sight-fishin' beds with poppers or streamers – bass eat that chaos like candy.

Down in Texas, Ross Gomez reeled the same 14.74-pound beast from Lake Alan Henry for the third time, Wired2Fish says—talk about a loyal lunker. Jeremy Treadway nabbed a 13-pounder on Cane River durin' a brutal cold front, Louisiana Sportsman notes, turnin' a slow mornin' into high-fives heard a mile off. And don't sleep on Florida's Lake Okeechobee, where Michael Deen sacked 24 pounds includin' an 8-2 kicker, Lake O' News confirms. Hot spots? Toledo Bend's risin' waters are vomitin' giants—Pitt power-fished deep scatters with a football jig. Lake Okeechobee's Observation Island is flippin' gold right now. For southern vibes, Flat Lake in the Atchafalaya Basin's northwest corner between Bayou Cane and Grosbeak is prime, says Louisiana Sportsman—hit outer cypress at dawn with buzzbaits or Whopper Ploppers when docks peek at Russo's Landing. East Texas lakes like those in Texas Parks & Wildlife reports are spawn-ready on hydrilla with Senkos and chatterbaits.

Kickin' off with a monster: Cody Pitt just shattered MLF records on Toledo Bend, haulin' a 39-pound-15-ounce five-fish limit to win the Phoenix Bass Fishing League Cowboy Division. Major League Fishing reports that bag's the biggest ever on Toledo Bend and sixth all-time in MLF history. The crown jewel? A 13-pound-6-inch largemouth that inhaled his football jig in 32 feet – biggest bass ever weighed in BFL comps. Pitt said it fought like a submarine, barely jumpin' before he netted her. Toledo Bend's still the hot spot, with north-end spawn creepin' south per Louisiana Sportsman, thanks to warmer shallows blockin' north winds. Water clarity and depth are key – think 4-7 feet bushes for stickbaits, or squarebills on points when temps climb. Texas reports from TPWD and NTXE-News echo the heat: Bois d'Arc largemouth fair on slow stickbaits midday around 4-7 feet bushes, crankin' up afternoons on chatterbaits near drop-offs. Ray Hubbard's good for Alabama rigs and jerkbaits in 32-38 feet flats, especially south end. Granbury blacks to 5 pounds hittin' soft plastics on main lake points and laydowns. Lewisville?

They're bunchin' up with baitfish in 30-50 feet, smashin' jig-head minnows, jiggin' spoons, and football jigs—key is scopin' those schools on your electronics. Clarks Hill's drawin' tournament crowds even in the cold; biologists like Aaron Gray say jigs, soft jerkbaits, and swimbaits are pullin' quality largemouth. Head to Spring Creek or Fish Pond Drain on Lake Seminole, says Ken Sturdivant at southernfishing.com—bass are deep in timber, suspended with shad. Over on the Satilla River, Craig James boated 15 bass, 10 over 3 pounds, on a wacky rigged worm in the rain. Private ponds and Reed Bingham State Park kicked out 5-pounders on Texas-rigged plastics and chatterbaits. Up north in Massachusetts, the sportfishing awards list from mass.gov updated January 23 shows a 7-pound-13-ounce largemouth leadin' from Moores Pond in Warwick— that's a hawg for sure. Quabbin Reservoir's holdin' smallmouth to 5 pounds 12 ounces. Texas is whisperin' giants ahead, with MLF pros hypin' Lake Conroe for the Bass Pro Tour stop. It's a big bass factory, coughin' up 17 ShareLunkers over 13 pounds since '86 via Texas Parks and Wildlife, includin' a 15.93 lake record. Kelly Jordon calls it prime for double-digit hogs.

Clarks Hill's drawin' tournament crowds even in the cold; biologists like Aaron Gray say jigs, soft jerkbaits, and swimbaits are pullin' quality largemouth. Head to Spring Creek or Fish Pond Drain on Lake Seminole, says Ken Sturdivant at southernfishing.com—bass are deep in timber, suspended with shad. Over on the Satilla River, Craig James boated 15 bass, 10 over 3 pounds, on a wacky rigged worm in the rain. Private ponds and Reed Bingham State Park kicked out 5-pounders on Texas-rigged plastics and chatterbaits. Up north in Massachusetts, the sportfishing awards list from mass.gov updated January 23 shows a 7-pound-13-ounce largemouth leadin' from Moores Pond in Warwick— that's a hawg for sure. Quabbin Reservoir's holdin' smallmouth to 5 pounds 12 ounces. Texas is whisperin' giants ahead, with MLF pros hypin' Lake Conroe for the Bass Pro Tour stop. It's a big bass factory, coughin' up 17 ShareLunkers over 13 pounds since '86 via Texas Parks and Wildlife, includin' a 15.93 lake record. Kelly Jordon calls it prime for double-digit hogs. Hot spots right now? Main lake ledges on Weiss Lake and West Point in the 40s-50s temps, Carolina rigs with green pumpkin worms on Lanier (down 5.83 feet), and river creeks before cold fronts. Bassmaster Elite's 2026 opener at Guntersville drops forward-facing sonar limits, pushin' grass bites with lipless cranks and jerkbaits. Winter patterns mean find the bait, work it slow—could be your ticket to a wall-hanger. Weather flips could send 'em shallow to spawn ditches come February.

We've got some seriously exciting news out of Arkansas that's going to change how folks think about trophy bass hunting in the Natural State. Arkansas just launched its Legacy Lunker Program, and holy smokes, it's off to a blazing start. According to Bassmaster, the first three fish entered into this brand new program came from Lake Austell, a little 85-acre gem that's been flying under the radar for years. We're talking about a 12.04-pound largemouth caught by Kevin Riney, followed just two days later by his son Dylan landing an 11.65-pounder, and then Kyle Lochridge bringing in a 10.16 beast. The fact that a father and son duo caught two of the first three fish? That's the kind of story that gets anglers talking around the fire. Here's what makes this program special. Bassmaster reports that when you catch a 10-pound-plus bass between January 1st and March 31st, you call the Legacy Lunker hotline, and they pick up your fish in a mobile tank. The fish get taken to the Joe Hogan State Fish Hatchery in Lonoke where they spawn in a state-of-the-art indoor facility. After the babies are born, they release both the parents and the offspring back into their home lake. You get a replica mounted by Harper's Pure Country Taxidermy, and you're entered to win a 21-foot Xpress bass boat worth about 75 grand. Not bad for doing your part for conservation. Lake Austell is now the hot spot to watch. According to AGFC Black Bass Program coordinator Jeremy Risley, the lake has been managed as a trophy fishery for years with Florida bass stockings. It only allows electric motors, which keeps the pressure down. The Riney family clearly knew what they were doing, laying off the lake all fall and then hitting it hard come January. They used LiveScope to spot fish about eight feet down and threw custom glidebaits. That's the kind of technique that separates the serious anglers from the weekend warriors. The Legacy Lunker program modeled itself after Texas's famed ShareLunker program, according to Bassmaster. Arkansas is even using Titan Maxx bass from Georgia's Red Hills Fishery for the male component, fish that have been genetically tested for trophy-class growth. This isn't just about catching fish; it's about changing the narrative. AGFC's Trey Reid made it clear they want folks to know that Arkansas has some serious bass potential, even if we're not quite at Florida or Texas levels yet. Over in Texas, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Weekly Fishing Report, things are heating up too. Brownwood is reporting black bass to 9.34 pounds on shallow crankbaits and Alabama rigs. That's solid January fishing, my friends. Arlington's seeing good action on jerkbaits and small swimbaits in their winter haunts as the water temperature sits around 55 degrees.

If you're a fly rodder dreamin' of tradin' that delicate drift for chunkin' big rubber, these tales'll hook ya deep. First off, monster catches are poppin' like mayflies in a hatch. Down in Arkansas, Lake Austell in Village Creek State Park is straight fire – Wired2fish reports the Riney crew lit it up January 10th. Kevin Riney boated a 12-pound largemouth usin' forward-facin' sonar, the first certified 10-plus for Arkansas' new Legacy Lunker Bass program. Then his son Dylan and buddy Kyle doubled down within an hour: Kyle's 10.16-pounder and Dylan's 11.65-pounder. AGFC's Jeremy Risley weighed 'em official, hauled 'em to Joe Hogan Hatchery for spawnin' super-genetics, then they'll swim back home. Talk about a family pig roast – those bass'll breed giants for years. Head East to South Carolina's Santee Cooper Lakes, where Major League Fishing's Phoenix Bass Fishing League just shattered records. Gary Pope from Georgetown tied the all-time biggest bass at 13 pounds 6 ounces on a Berkley Big Bass boater award – that's a bucket-mouth thicker than your favorite fly line. Brent Riley won the event with 35 pounds 3 ounces over five fish, provin' the shallows are simmerin'. Up North, Jacob Wheeler smashed the Bass Pro Tour single-day weight record on the St. Lawrence River – 47 bass for 165 pounds 1 ounce, per MLF. That's nine crossin' the 100-inch total mark, folks. Lake Guntersville kicked off MLF Stage One January 15-18, with rookies and vets slingin' everything from FFS to finesse, and Gill holdin' for the win amid pre-spawn madness, says GearJunkie. Hot spots? Lake Austell for doubles over 10 – creeks, structure, sonar your ticket. Santee Cooper's grass and ledges for hawgs. Potomac River's grass flats and tides delivered in Toyota Series openers, with winners mixin' frogs, jigs, and drop-shots on Greenway and Mason Neck. Guntersville's loaded with 3-5 pounders now, perfect for sightin' beds soon. Fresh info: FY26 appropriations via ASA Fishing keep lead tackle safe from regs, pump millions into habitat like oyster reefs boostin' bass forage, and push science over moratoriums in Biscayne Bay.

If you're a fly rodder dreamin' of switchin' it up, these tales might just hook ya – think big buckets smashin' surface bugs like your dry flies on a trout stream, but with way more pull. Kickin' off with fresh wins: Just yesterday, January 19th on Alabama's Lake Martin, local boater Josh Harrison from Camp Hill edged out the field in the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League Bama Division opener. He sacked five bass at 13 pounds 15 ounces, no fancy forward-facing sonar – just grindin' shallow with crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jigs for 20 keepers, includin' a fat 4-pounder. Anglers Channel reports he pocketed $3,630, provin' old-school beats tech sometimes. Over on Hyco Lake in North Carolina, team Phillip Eakes and Todd Gibson topped a windy opener with 18.05 pounds for five fish, edgin' young guns Ayden Rigsbee and Chase Brown who nabbed big fish at 6.70 pounds, per The Bass Cast. Hot spots? Head south to dodge the ice, says Outdoor News. Sam Rayburn in Texas pumps 3-to-12-pounders regular, with a 16.80 record. Toledo Bend straddlin' Texas-Louisiana is a 10-pound magnet, especially Six Mile Creek. Caney Lake in north Louisiana just spit out 13-pounders, holdin' the state record at 15.97 – hit hydrilla with Rat-L-Traps or deep brush with big worms. Pickwick Lake across Ala-Miss-Tenn. has 14-pound largemouths and 10-pound smallies lovin' current; throw jigs or Ned rigs. Lake Guntersville in Alabama's grassy shallows churns 5-to-8s, record 14.50. And Florida's Kissimmee Chain? Giants over 15 on wild shiners 'gainst hydrilla edges. Interestin' nugget: While us fly folks finesse, these bass pros like Harrison are ditchin' gadgets for pure feel, remindin' ya that a good drift or strip can outsmart any screen.

He ran a 4-inch Big Bite Baits Spotlight Minnow on a jighead, catchin' 'em from a 10-foot roadbed pinch point. Jacob Wheeler lit up the SCORETRACKER too, but Gill held for the win amid cold snaps that had pros launchin' from spread-out ramps.

Jacob Wheeler shattered the single-day weight record earlier on St. Lawrence River with 47 bass tippin' 165 pounds,1 ounce usin' pink Ned rigs and Rattlin' Neds for smallies. Down in Texas, TPWD logs a 3.27-pound smallmouth from Possum Kingdom by Ty Montgomery last June, and a fat white bass at 3.57 pounds in January '25.

Artificial Lure here with your weekly rundown of what's happening in the bass fishing world. Let's dive right in. First up, we've got some exciting news from the tournament circuit. Major League Fishing just kicked off their 2026 Bass Pro Tour season today at Lake Guntersville in Alabama, and the competition is heating up faster than a topwater bite at sunrise. The tour will be making stops across some seriously productive waters in South Carolina, Texas, Arkansas, Florida, Oklahoma, and Ohio throughout the season. If you're looking to watch some elite-level bass fishing, these events are absolute must-sees. Speaking of tournaments, BassmastHER announced their 2026 ambassador team, and it's a powerhouse lineup. Kristine Fischer, a true trailblazer in kayak bass fishing, is leading the charge. This Nebraska angler has won 13 national tournaments and racked up over 70 Top 10 finishes. She's the first woman to qualify for the Hobie Worlds, win the Tournament of Champions, and claim victories at multiple major platforms. Beyond her trophy case, Fischer is dedicated to growing women's participation in competitive fishing. The team also includes Anastasia Patterson, a founding member of the Presbyterian College Bass Fishing Team who competes in the Bassmaster Opens Pro Division, alongside lifestyle-focused ambassadors Maggie and the newest member, Kylee Short, who's all about making fishing accessible to first-timers and women in the sport. Now let's talk about some incredible recent catches. An 83-year-old angler named Gene Kidder from Louisiana just landed his personal best at Toledo Bend with an 11.9-pound largemouth bass. Get this: after fishing all day without a single bite, Kidder decided to make one last cast near his camp at a brush pile. He thought he'd snagged on debris, but his rod tip twitched and boom, a beast was on the line. The crazy part? The big girl barely fought. She actually gave up about five feet from the boat, and Kidder landed her without even using a net. The lure that sealed the deal was a simple purple crankbait worked through ten to twelve feet of water. Over in Arkansas, the new Legacy Lunker program got off to an incredible start when Jonesboro angler Kevin Riney caught a 12.04-pound largemouth at Lake Austell and donated it to help improve the fishery through a spawning and restocking initiative. That's the kind of conservation mindset we love to see. If you're planning your next fishing trip, Texas Parks and Wildlife's latest fishing report shows some seriously hot action happening right now. Cedar Creek is fishing at excellent levels with big stacks of white bass on mid-lake points in eight to fourteen feet of water. Lake Conroe is reporting great conditions with strong numbers of bass chasing shad schools offshore, and anglers are having success with jerkbaits and deep-diving crankbaits. Even closer to home for many of you, Lake Livingston is c This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Down in Texas, Jay Delk yanked a 13-pound largemouth from Sam Rayburn Reservoir on November 8, 2025—Texas Parks and Wildlife confirms it's the latest all-tackle record there, measurin' 25.5 inches of pure attitude. And over on legendary Lake Fork, Milliken Fishing just dropped a YouTube bomb on January 14, 2026, haulin' a shown-up stud—25 inches of winterin' beast that screamed trophy status in the flooded timber. Lake Fork's still the mecca, birthin' 25 of Texas' 50 biggest bass ever, includin' that mythic 18-pounder from '92. Hot spots? Keep an eye on Caney Creek in Louisiana—Brett Hite from Major League Fishing scoped it for the 2026 Bass Pro Tour opener, callin' it a mini Sam Rayburn with creek channels and grass flats holdin' prespawn beasts. Tourneys there have topped 30 pounds for five fish lately, and clearer water means big ones are stackin' up. Up north, Lake Nettie in Michigan's Presque Isle County is servin' strong bass numbers per Outdoor News, mixin' panfish and pike for that multi-species vibe you fly guys dig. Table Rock Lake's mid-Kings area is another gravel-point gem, with bass suspendin' in 15 feet off bluffs. Buzzworthy news?

Yeah, I know you trout chasers love that delicate sip on a mayfly, but stick around – these bass are smashin' baits like they're auditionin' for a monster truck rally. Kickin' off 2026 with a bang, Major League Fishing just dropped the Bass Pro Tour schedule, startin' January 15th at Lake Guntersville in Alabama. That's right, Stage One hits that Tennessee River beast where pros'll duke it out for record payouts and a shot at REDCREST 2027. Then it's Lake Hartwell in South Carolina February 19th, dual-lake madness in Texas at Lake Whitney and Waco March 5th, O.H. Ivie and Brownwood March 26th, Beaver Lake in Arkansas end of April, Orange Lake in Florida for Heavy Hitters in May, Grand Lake Oklahoma in June, and Lake Erie Ohio in August. New spots, 51 top anglers, catch-weigh-release format streamed live – pure chaos on the water, Major League Fishing announced. Hot spots? Lake Guntersville's first up, but don't sleep on Texas. Friends down there are pullin' solid numbers right now, per kayak angler Marty Hughes' January 12 report. Shasta Lake in California has largemouth goin' nuts on shallow flats under 10 feet – big topwater explosions in the afternoons, less pressured than the spotted bass crowds, says Westernbass.com lake reports. California Delta's a winter grind in the low 50s temps, finesse on edges and grass, but striped bass are steady in the west end. Lake Fork still holds that MLF record 10-pound-4 ounce pig Jason Christie yanked in 2020 – imagine what fresh pros'll do there. Notable catches? Houston's all-tackle largemouth record sits at 10.47 pounds from '96, but 2025 wrapped with YouTuber vids hypin' the "Year of the Giant Bass" – top 5 monsters on camera from bank, yak and night fishin'.

And mark March 28 for Louisiana's 77th Big Bass Rodeo at New Orleans City Park – bank fishin', kayaks, youth battles, free Fishtival with DJs and gear swaps, hosted by LDWF.

Lake Fork's still the king of giants, crankin' out Bassmaster Century Club entries with lunkers that make your fly rod weep. And on Falcon Lake, the all-tackle largemouth record holds at 15.63 pounds from Tommy Law back in 2011, but recent Texas Parks and Wildlife updates show the giants are stackin' up. Hot spots? Texas is on fire. Lake Travis delivered solid largemouth bags on January 11, with FishingBooker captain Randy reportin' great days targetin' deep structure and banks—perfect for switchin' your fly game to streamers. Lake Fork, Toledo Bend, and Sam Rayburn are Bassmaster Elite heavyweights, packin' Texas-sized bass that smash lures. Up north, Douglas Lake patterns from Major League Fishing's BFL had winners slingin' crankbaits offshore for 46-pound limits, while shallow swim jigs chased shad spawns. Kerr Lake in Virginia saw Tyler Trent sack 20 pounds, 11 ounces to win a Phoenix Bass Fishing League event.

Lake Toho just reminded everybody why it’s still the heavyweight champ of winter largemouth. American Bass Anglers reports that James Hoctor won the January 3rd event on the Kissimmee Chain with a five‑fish bag over 20 pounds, anchored by classic Florida strain toads staging on grass edges and shell bars. That whole chain is in pre‑spawn mode right now – think subtle swimbaits, speed worms, and anything you can slow roll through hydrilla clumps without bogging down. If you’re a fly rod junkie, Toho and Kissimmee are sneaky perfect this time of year: big females sliding up out of deeper hydrilla lanes into three to six feet. A big deer‑hair diver or neutrally buoyant baitfish pattern stripped over those lanes at first light will absolutely get you wrecked if you stick with it. Sliding over to Texas, the state just kicked off the 40th season of the Toyota ShareLunker program, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife–backed coverage in the Alvin Sun. That means from now through spring, every West Texas and East Texas reservoir with grass and shad is basically on double‑digit watch. Fork, Toledo Bend on the Texas side, and O.H. Ivie are the obvious headline lakes, but don’t sleep on the smaller power‑plant and city reservoirs that quietly spit out 8‑ to 10‑pounders when that first big warming trend hits. For the traveler types, Lake Guntersville in Alabama is about to be in the national spotlight again. Major League Fishing reports that the 2026 Bass Pro Tour season opener is headed there, and they picked it for one reason: big grass‑oriented largemouth that love crankbaits, bladed jigs, and anything that hunts over shell and eelgrass. If you’re a fly angler who likes stripping articulated gamechangers or big cone‑head buggers on an intermediate line, Guntersville’s grass lines and bridge causeways fish a lot like a giant smallmouth river… except the fish have shoulders. Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia is another sleeper worth a look. Major League Fishing’s recent Heavy Hitters event there showed both largemouth and smallmouth schooling on blueback herring over main‑lake points, with Nick Hatfield winning by camping on a single offshore spot and stacking quality fish. That’s classic “open‑water predator on bait” behavior – exactly the kind of deal where a long cast with a weighted baitfish fly or a jigged streamer on a sink‑tip can compete with the spin guys if you’re disciplined about counting it down. If you’re hunting more of a “home water” feel, local intel sites are gold right now. Table Rock Fishing Intel has been reporting winter fish on Missouri’s Table Rock Lake holding on gravel points and bluff ends in 15–20 feet, eating small swimbaits and football jigs. Translate that to fly gear and you’re talking full‑sink lines, small smelt‑style streamers, and painfully slow retr This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s start with big news on the tournament front, because where the pros are whacking ’em, the rest of us usually aren’t far behind. WesternBass reports that the 2026 Progressive Bassmaster Elite Series is about to kick off after a 2025 season that cranked out a record 11 century belts – that’s 100-pound-plus four‑day bags, which tells you U.S. bass fishing is in a seriously healthy place. They’ve also announced 101 anglers for the 2026 Elite field, so expect even more pressure on the classic big-bass venues across the country. Out West, WesternBass’ latest lake reports say Shasta Lake in California is quietly turning into a largemouth sleeper this winter. Shasta is usually a spotted-bass playground, but right now some legit largemouth are sliding shallow onto subtle flats under 10 feet, and guys are still getting explosive eats on big topwater baits in the afternoon. For the fly crowd, that screams giant deer-hair divers and big-head poppers walked slow over that skinny water while the sun’s dropping. The California Delta, on the other hand, has gone full winter grind. WesternBass notes water temps in the low to mid‑50s, with bass pulling off the super-shallow grass and stacking along edges and transitions. Finesse is getting it done there – think slow presentations around current and depth changes. If you’re a fly angler, that’s your signal to swap the big bugs for neutrally buoyant streamers and craw patterns crawled painfully slow on a sinking line. Back east, Major League Fishing is setting the stage at Dale Hollow Lake on the Kentucky‑Tennessee line. MLF points out this is the same reservoir that produced the all‑time world record smallmouth – an 11‑pound, 15‑ounce freak of nature back in 1955 – and they’re expecting “big weights” from both smallmouth and largemouth when the Bass Pro Tour hits it. In a recent Phoenix Bass Fishing League event, MLF reports Matt Becker sacked 22 pounds, 12 ounces of largemouth on Dale Hollow by staying way off his fish, using forward‑facing sonar and targeting creek mouths where bass were staging before the spawn. If you’re a fly angler, that pattern translates nicely into long casts with full‑sink lines and neutrally buoyant baitfish flies tracked through those same staging lanes. If you’re more of a grassroots person, the Victoria Advocate just profiled the 3 C’s Bass Club in Texas, which is kicking off its 2026 season with a mix of competition and community work. That’s classic bass‑club culture: jackpot tournaments, local lakes, and just enough bragging rights to make someone buy the post‑weigh‑in tacos. Perfect scene if you want to slip in with a 7‑weight and show the gear guys what a well‑placed streamer can do. Kayak and fly curious?

Let’s start with the big‑league stuff. Major League Fishing is kicking off the 2026 Bass Pro Tour on legendary Lake Guntersville in Alabama, and the pros are already calling it a slugfest waiting to happen. According to Major League Fishing, Guntersville is stacked with grass, current, and big largemouth staging for early prespawn, and it’s on just about every serious bass angler’s bucket list. If you like reading the river and casting like a trout bum, that Tennessee River current sets up a lot like a giant tailwater. Speaking of southern hammer factories, Major League Fishing recently spotlighted Eufaula, Alabama, bragging again on its title as the “Big Bass Capital of the World.” Lake Eufaula on the Chattahoochee keeps pumping out quality largemouth, and the town has gone full send on the bass culture: big bass statue downtown, tackle‑obsessed locals, and a steady diet of tournaments rolling through. If you’re a fly angler, that place screams for big deer‑hair divers and Game Changers along the grass edges at first light. Up in New England, things look different but the bass game isn’t dead. On The Water’s January Cape Cod report says a lot of the kettle ponds are flirting with skim ice, but when you find open water, the largemouth bite turns on around weather swings. They’re talking black Woolly Buggers, leech patterns, and slow micro plastics doing work on cold‑water bass. That’s pure fly‑fisher candy: low and slow, watching the barometer, treating a 3‑pound pond fish like it’s a brown trout in tight quarters. Over in Arkansas, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s latest weekly report has Lake Chicot and sections of the Little River holding good numbers of 2‑ to 3‑pound largemouth. Shops are recommending shad‑style crankbaits in 10 to 15 feet around creek junctions, but if you’re a long‑rod person, that same deal sets up perfectly for intermediate‑line streamers swung through current seams and channel bends. If you’re out west, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s January recreation report points to places like Expo Pond and Willow Lake still giving up largemouth in cold water, even if it’s a grind. Slower presentations are the move: think craw‑pattern jigs or, for fly folks, weighted rabbit strips crawled along the bottom like you’re Czech‑nymphing for one single bite that makes your week. Gear‑wise, Whiskey Riff just did a piece on a new “fuzzy” bass bait style that’s been big in Japan and is now flooding the U.S. market for 2026. The idea is extra‑hairy, textured plastics that breathe at rest, basically turning a finesse bait into something that acts like a marabou jig. If you already trust hackle, marabou, and rabbit on a fly, this is that same living profile in conventional form. Quick pattern note for winter: multiple regional reports are all preaching the same sermon—find slightly deeper water near structure, fish when the pressure’s drop This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Speaking of southern hammer factories, Major League Fishing recently spotlighted Eufaula, Alabama, bragging again on its title as the “Big Bass Capital of the World.” Lake Eufaula on the Chattahoochee keeps pumping out quality largemouth, and the town has gone full send on the bass culture: big bass statue downtown, tackle‑obsessed locals, and a steady diet of tournaments rolling through. If you’re a fly angler, that place screams for big deer‑hair divers and Game Changers along the grass edges at first light. Up in New England, things look different but the bass game isn’t dead. On The Water’s January Cape Cod report says a lot of the kettle ponds are flirting with skim ice, but when you find open water, the largemouth bite turns on around weather swings. They’re talking black Woolly Buggers, leech patterns, and slow micro plastics doing work on cold‑water bass. That’s pure fly‑fisher candy: low and slow, watching the barometer, treating a 3‑pound pond fish like it’s a brown trout in tight quarters. Over in Arkansas, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s latest weekly report has Lake Chicot and sections of the Little River holding good numbers of 2‑ to 3‑pound largemouth. Shops are recommending shad‑style crankbaits in 10 to 15 feet around creek junctions, but if you’re a long‑rod person, that same deal sets up perfectly for intermediate‑line streamers swung through current seams and channel bends. If you’re out west, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s January recreation report points to places like Expo Pond and Willow Lake still giving up largemouth in cold water, even if it’s a grind. Slower presentations are the move: think craw‑pattern jigs or, for fly folks, weighted rabbit strips crawled along the bottom like you’re Czech‑nymphing for one single bite that makes your week. Gear‑wise, Whiskey Riff just did a piece on a new “fuzzy” bass bait style that’s been big in Japan and is now flooding the U.S. market for 2026. The idea is extra‑hairy, textured plastics that breathe at rest, basically turning a finesse bait into something that acts like a marabou jig. If you already trust hackle, marabou, and rabbit on a fly, this is that same living profile in conventional form. Quick pattern note for winter: multiple regional reports are all preaching the same sermon—find slightly deeper water near structure, fish when the pressure’s drop This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 208 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI8634493710 Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, tying on a fresh leader and talking bass fishing in the good old U.S. of A. Let’s start with tournament buzz. Major League Fishing is about to crack open the 2026 Bass Pro Tour season on Alabama’s legendary Lake Guntersville with the B&W Trailer Hitches Stage 1, presented by Mercury. According to Major League Fishing and The Fishing Wire, 51 of the best in the game are rolling in, and locals are expecting lots of 4- to 6-pound fish with some true freaks mixed in. Pros are talking jerkbaits, minnow baits, small swimbaits with forward-facing sonar, and then classic winter red lipless cranks when the screens go dark. Guntersville’s basically the South’s home river for big bass right now. If you’re a fly rodder sniffing around for bassy alternatives to trout, Texas is calling your name. Texas Parks and Wildlife’s latest reports say largemouth are chewing all over the state. On Lake Limestone, bass have slid shallow and started keying on crawfish; red chatterbaits and rattletraps are hot, which translates nicely to craw-colored streamers or jiggy craw patterns on a 7- or 8-weight. Lake Conroe is putting out strong numbers of bass chasing shad offshore, with jerkbaits and deep cranks doing damage—perfect playground for neutrally buoyant baitfish flies and full-sink lines. Want more of a “local’s only” Texas feel? TPWD reports Comanche Creek is “excellent” for largemouth around points, and Lake Arlington has bass stacked on rocky areas inhaling Alabama rigs and jerkbaits. Think clouser-style flies crawled along rock, or articulated shad patterns swung like you’re steelheading, just with more humidity and fewer beanies. On the notable-catch front, Major League Fishing recently highlighted boater Luke Nichols on Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia, dropping a 24-pound, 6-ounce five-fish bag, anchored by a 7-pound, 11-ounce largemouth. He did it with LiveScope, green pumpkin homemade jigs, and a swimbait—basically the bass world’s version of sight-fishing big browns on a streamer. The bites were scattered, but when they came, they were the right ones. Speaking of big-fish lore, AOL’s rundown of the biggest largemouth in 49 states is still making the rounds, reminding everyone just how ridiculous American bass genetics can get. Add in records like Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Falcon Lake listings—where largemouth over 15 pounds have been logged—and you remember real quick why people build their whole year around one good prespawn. If you’re more into the DIY kayak-and-fly vibe, Marty Hughes’ recent fishing report on Substack talks about fishing a Neko rig painfully slow and sticking an 18.25-inch bass. That’s exactly the cadence fly anglers are already used to with cold-water presentations: slow, deliberate, picking apart structure instead of burning bank. And if you’re thinking about mixing travel with bass, keep an eye on Lake Eufaula in Alabama—registration is opening for the 2026 Minn Kota & Humminbird Owners Tournament This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Winter's grip is loosenin', and bass are heatin' up across the map. Kickin' off with monster pulls: Down in Texas at Possum Kingdom Lake, Ed Harper hauled a white bass tippin' 3.57 pounds on January 25, 2025, settin' an all-tackle record per Texas Parks and Wildlife records updated October 27, 2025. George Stanley bow-and-arrowed a 33.75-pound smallmouth buffalo there March 10, 2025 – not pure bass, but shows the beast mode in that system. Fresh off the wire, Cole Moore from Louisiana sacked 19 pounds, 15 ounces of five bass to win the Bass Fishing League at Sam Rayburn January 6, 2026. And Matt Becker crushed Dale Hollow Lake with 22 pounds, 12 ounces of largemouths last Saturday, usin' Garmin LiveScope on creek mouths where they're pre-spawn stagin' – he pocketed $11,610. Grant Adams big-bagged a 6-pound, 12-ounce hawg there too. Hot spots screamin' right now? Possum Kingdom's on fire for whites and largemouths, with records fallin' in winter shallows – perfect for sightin' 'em like trophy trout on the flats. Dale Hollow's primed for a smallmouth slugfest come Bass Pro Tour in April, but largemouths are dominant now with slot limits keepin' it fair. Lake Shasta's risin' fast after holiday rains, pros like Roger Vue reportin' 27 bass over five pounds this year alone, expectin' double-digit sacks at the WON BASS Open with spotted bass lovin' the inflow. Texas fly boys are grindin' Conroe for 10-pound-plus largemouths on warm trends, and Sam Rayburn just proved it's go-time. Buzz in the bass world? Debate's ragin' on closed seasons – Wired2Fish argues no need nationwide thanks to catch-and-release smarts, thrivin' pops in Florida, Texas, Alabama spots like Okeechobee and Fork. But heads up, two US guys got fined $3,260 for hittin' smallmouths in closed season near Willisville per Manitoulin reports. Smart regs over bans, keepin' economies pumpin' and fish healthy. Fly anglers, these bass are sight-fish gold – big flies in prespawn shallows mimic your streamer game, just swap trout for green thunder.

Artificial Lure here with your freshest catch of what's happening in the bass fishing world right now. Let's kick things off with some seriously impressive recent catches that should get your competitive juices flowing. Down at Toledo Bend in Louisiana, an 83-year-old angler named Gene Kidder just landed his personal best, an 11.9-pound largemouth bass on December 18th. This guy has been fishing his whole life, and Toledo Bend delivered him a Christmas gift he'll never forget. The fish measured 28 and a quarter inches long, and after they got her weighed at Buckeye Landing, they made sure to release her back into the water. Now that's sportsmanship. Speaking of Toledo Bend, things are heating up in the competitive circuit too. According to Major League Fishing, Riley Harris of Orange, Texas absolutely dominated a recent event with a five-bass limit weighing in at a massive 40 pounds, 8 ounces. That's the fourth-largest limit ever weighed in Phoenix Bass Fishing League history. Not too shabby if you ask me. Now let's talk about where you should be throwing your line. Lake Fork in Texas is absolutely in great shape right now despite running about three feet low. The official Lake Fork fishing report from January 2026 shows water temperatures sitting in that sweet 50 to 55-degree range, which is perfect for winter bass behavior. The water clarity is fantastic with two to three feet of visibility in most areas. According to the Lake Fork guide reports, the best pattern right now is targeting shallow to mid-depth regions around main lake areas and secondary points at creek mouths. Throw a half-ounce chatterbait in white or chartreuse-white colors, and make multiple passes through any stretch of bank where you catch a few fish. There's always a key feature holding those bass, whether it's a depth change, a bottom composition shift, or vegetation. For the jig enthusiasts out there, black and blue or black, blue, and purple jigs are doing serious damage right now, especially when you trail them with a matching craw pattern. But here's the kicker for those of you who like to go deep. Lake Fork is still holding plenty of fish suspended around bait in the 18 to 25-foot range. Flutter spoons, small slab spoons, tail kickers, and drop shots with finesse worms are all producing winners. The low water conditions actually work in your favor because you can read the water and see exactly where those creek channels run through the middle of your fishing areas. Moving out west, Folsom Lake in California has been showing promise in late December and early January. The conditions have been drawing serious attention from local anglers looking for some winter action. Looking ahead, Major League Fishing has some exciting tournaments lined up. The 2026 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit will be hitting Harris Chain of Lakes in mid-February, and things are really ramping up for the season.

Bass fishin' in the US is heatin' up like a summer hatch, even in these winter months. Let's dive into the fresh bites that'll make you itch for a spin setup. Start with Gene Kidder, an 83-year-old legend from Opelousas, Louisiana. Louisiana Sportsman reports he nailed his personal best largemouth, 11.9 pounds at 28-and-a-quarter inches, on December 18 at Toledo Bend. After a fishless day in Housen Bay, he chucked a purple crankbait at a brush pile in 10 to 12 feet near Miller Bay Point—thought it was a snag, then a catfish, but nope, a trophy that belly-flopped right into the boat without much fuss. Released her healthy; Toledo Bend's still the double-digit dream factory with clear water and sunny vibes. Head south to Alabama's Lake Guntersville, where Major League Fishing says Nathan Brewer crushed Day 1 of the Toyota Series opener with 28 pounds 5 ounces of pure smallmouth—all below the dam after lockin' through. Just 20 casts for a mega-bag topped by a 6-11 brute in movin' water. Locals know that tailrace magic; it's like strippin' streamers on steroids for smallies. Tennessee's reppin' hard too—AOL calls it prime bass country with Chickamauga, Dale Hollow, and the Tennessee River pumpin' monsters. Up in Virginia, Midcurrent notes a late-December warm snap to 60 degrees lit up the Shenandoah and New Rivers for smallmouth and largemouth on big streamers, slow strips with pauses in 36-44 degree water. Fly guys, that's your wheelhouse—sink-tips and articulated patterns haulin' winter bass tight to structure. Don't sleep on California: Westernbass forums buzz about kayak kings pullin' biggest bass of 2025 from the Delta and Clear Lake. Texas stays stacked—Captain Experiences guides like Jay on Lake Fork hittin' points and drop-offs for giants, and TPWD records show Lake Conroe's largemouth history toppin' 15 pounds. Hot spots right now? Toledo Bend for lunkers, Guntersville tailwaters for smallie clinics, Tennessee rivers for non-stop action. Winter bass are stackin' on brush, structure, and current breaks—kinda like nymphin' deep runs, but with more pull. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all—come back next week for more.

Kickin' off 2026 with a bang: Texas just fired up the 40th season of the Toyota ShareLunker Program on New Year's Day. Anglers are huntin' Legacy Class largemouth over 13 pounds from public lakes, loanin' 'em to Texas Parks and Wildlife for spawnin' and stockin' back bigger babies statewide. Last year, Lake O.H.

Westernbass.com reports Shasta's winter bite is hot on shallow flats under 10 feet – skip the crowds, hit less-pressured spots with big topwater walkers for afternoon booms. Kayak dudes are haulin' huge spotted bass too, posted just days ago. Hot spots screamin' right now? California Delta's in a finesse winter grind, low 50s temps pushin' bass to grass edges and deeper transitions – slow shaky heads or drop shots. Castaic Lake's at 77% full, limits on Carolina rigs and Ned rigs in shad or green pumpkin down deep; some anglers baggin' 20-plus. Lake Isabella's quality fish on jigs and deep crankbaits at Engineer or Rocky Point, 15-25 feet. Contra Loma's tight to rocky weeds with weedless plastics, dawn topwater flashes. Pyramid Lake drops shots to 40 feet for chunkers. Notable catches? Simpson Redhawks kids Owen Boesiger and Kaiden Dinning hammered winter spotted bass up north Cali-style.

Gear buzz: Whiskey Riff's toppin' January cold-water lists with green pumpkin gobies on Ned rigs or slow drags.

If you're a fly slinger dreamin' of switchin' to chunkin' for hawgs, these tales'll hook ya deep. Let's dive into the fresh action. First off, Jacob Wheeler just obliterated the Bass Pro Tour single-day weight record up on the St. Lawrence River in Massena, New York. Dude sacked 47 smallmouth bass tippin' the scales at a mind-blowin' 165 pounds, 1 ounce – that's nine fish over 10 pounds each, shadin' his own old mark. Major League Fishing reports Alton Jones Jr. wasn't far behind with 49 fish for 147-10 on a drop-shot, and Brent Ehrler hit 141-12 mixin' drop-shot and Ned rigs. Total day haul? 918 bass weighin' nearly 2,900 pounds from 40 pros. Wheeler joked his knees and back are screamin', but he's geeked for more. Pink Ned baits and rattlin' Neds were the ticket – finesse finesse, just like delicate fly presentations when browns get picky. Hot spots are firin' too. Westernbass.com says Lake Shasta's winter largemouth are boomin' shallow on flats under 10 feet, smashin' big topwaters afternoons when they're feedin' heavy – less pressured pockets away from crowds, perfect for sightin' 'em like risin' trout. California Delta's slowed to a finesse grind in the low 50s water temps, bass huggin' grass edges and deeper transitions on slow weedless plastics. Contra Loma's tight to rocks and weeds, with dawn topwater pops and dark soft plastics pullin' quality from depth, per FishCaddy reports.

Bassmaster's gearin' up 101 anglers for the 2026 Progressive Elite Series after a record 2025 with 11 century belts. Texas Parks and Wildlife logs a solid 10.47-pound largemouth record in Houston, holdin' strong. Kayak dudes on Westernbass scored huge spotted bass lately too.

Let’s start with some big-fish buzz. Sheridan Media just spotlighted a Wyoming youngster out of Shoshoni who set a Junior 4‑pound line‑class world record with a largemouth that’s now in the IGFA books. That’s not a southern farm-pond fairytale either – that’s a legit western bass putting fly-weight tackle in its place. According to Sheridan Media, the record was approved in November, so it’s fresh ink in the record book and a reminder that light line and precise presentations still matter more than a garage full of gadgets. If you’re hunting current hot spots, the chatter out West is all about winter largemouth waking up. WesternBass.com reports Shasta Lake has been quietly kicking out standout largemouth, with some of the biggest fish of the year sliding shallow in the afternoons when the water stabilizes. They’re even eating big topwater late in the season, which ought to perk up any fly angler who loves watching fish blow up on the surface. Think big wakes, slow pace, and picking off the less-pressured flats instead of pounding the obvious points. On the flip side, the California Delta has shifted into full grind mode. WesternBass.com notes low-50s water temps, bass pulling off the skinny grass and stacking on edges, transitions, and nearby deeper water. It’s become a finesse and slow-presentation deal. Fly folks, that’s basically an invitation to drag neutrally buoyant streamers and jiggy craw patterns down the breaks like you’re tight‑lining a big trout run – just scale the gear up because these fish hit like they’ve got somewhere to be. Over in the Southeast, Lake Murray in South Carolina keeps proving why it’s a tournament magnet. The BassCast reports Phillip Anderson just won a Lake Murray BassKings qualifier with a five‑fish bag going 22.71 pounds. Any lake coughing up 20‑plus with just five bites in late season is absolutely in play if you’re planning a road trip. Murray’s got enough offshore brush, docks, and schooling fish that you can basically fish it like a giant river system with structure – very familiar territory if you grew up reading current seams with a fly rod. Tournament fans, the big-boat circus isn’t slowing down. Bassmaster has already dropped the 101‑angler field for the 2026 Elite Series after a 2025 season that produced a record 11 century belts and four first‑time champs. That kind of weight tells you two things: forward-facing sonar isn’t going anywhere, and U.S. bass fisheries from New York to Texas are still loaded. If you like picking apart pressured water with technical presentations, we’re basically in the tactical golden age. Grassroots scene? Still throwing heat. The Carolina Anglers Team Trail keeps running strong events across the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, with what they proudly call some of the best paybacks in the region. That trail lives in the same water a lot of fly folks haun This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

WesternBass.com notes low-50s water temps, bass pulling off the skinny grass and stacking on edges, transitions, and nearby deeper water. It’s become a finesse and slow-presentation deal. Fly folks, that’s basically an invitation to drag neutrally buoyant streamers and jiggy craw patterns down the breaks like you’re tight‑lining a big trout run – just scale the gear up because these fish hit like they’ve got somewhere to be. Over in the Southeast, Lake Murray in South Carolina keeps proving why it’s a tournament magnet. The BassCast reports Phillip Anderson just won a Lake Murray BassKings qualifier with a five‑fish bag going 22.71 pounds. Any lake coughing up 20‑plus with just five bites in late season is absolutely in play if you’re planning a road trip. Murray’s got enough offshore brush, docks, and schooling fish that you can basically fish it like a giant river system with structure – very familiar territory if you grew up reading current seams with a fly rod. Tournament fans, the big-boat circus isn’t slowing down. Bassmaster has already dropped the 101‑angler field for the 2026 Elite Series after a 2025 season that produced a record 11 century belts and four first‑time champs. That kind of weight tells you two things: forward-facing sonar isn’t going anywhere, and U.S. bass fisheries from New York to Texas are still loaded. If you like picking apart pressured water with technical presentations, we’re basically in the tactical golden age. Grassroots scene? Still throwing heat. The Carolina Anglers Team Trail keeps running strong events across the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, with what they proudly call some of the best paybacks in the region.

If you're a fly rod wizard eyein' those chunky largemouth or smallies, grab your streamer and listen up – these spin guys are haulin' monsters that'll make you rethink your next drift. Kickin' off with jaw-droppers: Young Tucker Bass, just 12 from Shoshoni, Wyoming, reeled a 2-pound-4-ounce largemouth near home on August 9th, nabbin' a world record for youth all-tackle, per the Powell Tribune. Down in Arkansas, the Natural State's goin' nuts – Lance Freeman boated a 14.08-pounder early this month on a Jenko The Don swimbait, slotting third on the state books behind only a couple legends. Bassmaster reports it's the biggest he's seen, now chillin' in quarantine at Bass Pro Shops HQ for possible spawnin'. Lake Ouachita and Millwood are poppin' doubles like 10-14s from Zach Goutremout and a 13.43 from teen Griffin Ralph. Texas Parks and Wildlife logs Falcon Reservoir's largemouth record steady at 15.63, but white bass ticked up to 1.05 pounds in August. Hot spots? California Delta's grindin' winter mode – water in the low 50s, bass huggin' grass edges and drops, finesse rigs over power, says Westernbass.com. Lake McClure kicked numbers but skimped size at the CBL event. Arkansas is pushin' Legacy Lunkers: Catch a 10-plus from Jan to March, donate for breedin', snag fin clips for genes, and draw for an $80k Xpress boat this fall, via Arkansas Game and Fish. Toledo Bend's transitionin' to winter patterns in Louisiana Sportsman. Fresh twists: Minnesota DNR's mullin' year-round catch-and-release bass, hopin' for March rollout, per KQ92. Major League Fishing's clampin' forward-facing sonar in 2026 across all levels – fans and anglers diggin' the fair fight, Outdoor News says. ABA's Lance Collins topped Lake Sinclair December 20th. Fly peeps, imagine strippin' a big articulated bug over those Delta transitions or Ouachita brush – bass are stackin' deep, waitin' for your fly to dance.

Let’s start with some headline-worthy catches. On The Water’s latest Maryland and Chesapeake Bay report says big migratory striped bass are stacked within about 3 miles of Ocean City and Indian River, with boats trolling Mojos and hucking big soft plastics into legit cow bass. Captain Jamie Clough of Eastern Shore Light Tackle Charters is putting clients on heavy stripers back in the Chesapeake, marking bait balls and dropping big paddletails into schools of bunker like it’s a video game. If you’re more into the river-lake grind, FishingBooker’s 2026 “best fishing cities” rundown quietly reminds us that Atlanta and Nashville are sleeper bass hubs. Around Atlanta, Lake Lanier is still cranking out striped and spotted bass, while the Chattahoochee gives you that wade-fishing vibe fly anglers love: current seams, structure, and fish that eat streamers like they mean it. Nashville’s Percy Priest and Old Hickory lakes stay classic mixed-bag water, with largemouth, smallmouth, and spots all in play—perfect for anyone who wants to fish a Clouser one cast and a jig the next. Out West, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s recreation report just flagged an intriguing largemouth situation in the Klamath Basin. A drift-boat electrofishing run on the Klamath River this spring turned up multiple year classes of largemouth around Miller Island, plus a couple of nice bass taken right off the dock at Veterans Park. It’s not exactly on the national bass-tour map yet, but for a traveling fly fisher who likes sneaky destinations, that river-lake hybrid scene with bass sliding along weedlines screams “big articulated streamer” on a sinking line. Tournament junkie? The Bass Cast reports Matt Robertson just won the CATT Lake Norman Fall Final with a five-bass bag going 16.50 pounds. December, clear water, pressured fish, and that kind of weight means he dialed in a cold-water pattern—think subtle swimbaits, jerkbaits, or finesse presentations that any fly angler could mimic with neutrally buoyant streamers and long pauses. On the bigger-picture side, the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership just recapped 2025 forage-fish battles, especially around Atlantic menhaden. Managers cut the 2026 menhaden quota by only about 20 percent, even though updated science suggests a much larger cut would help rebuild Atlantic striped bass. For anyone who chases bass with flies, that’s worth tracking—healthy bait schools equal better surface feeds, more life in the rips, and more chances to watch a striper detonate on your deceiver in three feet of water. And if you like your bass with a side of national pride, Georgia Outdoor News just spotlighted Georgia’s Cooper Moon and the USAngling Youth Team taking gold at an international bass event in South Africa.

Let’s start with big bites. Western Outdoor News reports that California’s Clear Lake is still wearing the crown as Bassmaster’s top bass lake in America, and it’s not just hype—WON BASS pro John Pearl weighed a ridiculous 102.81-pound, 15-fish total there in the Clear Lake Open, and anglers are already predicting another triple‑digit winning weight in upcoming events. Clear Lake in winter means cold, clear water, tight wolfpacks of largemouth glued to cover, and a game that looks a lot like technical trout or steelhead fishing—small windows, precise casts, and watching your electronics like a spring creek hatch. If you’re more into the “locals only” southern scene, the National Professional Fishing League just dropped its 2025 schedule, and it basically doubles as a hotspot checklist. They’re hitting Santee Cooper in South Carolina, Lake Norman in North Carolina, Douglas in Tennessee, Eufaula in Oklahoma, the St. Lawrence River in New York, and Logan Martin in Alabama. Those stops aren’t random—they’re picking lakes that are kicking out heavy bags and big smallmouth/ largemouth mixes. Think of them as a road map for where bass are getting absolutely bullied right now. Down in Texas, the weekly freshwater reports from Texas Parks and Wildlife read like a winter bass sampler. Bridgeport is producing decent largemouth on deep crankbaits, A‑rigs, and swimbaits over schooling fish, while a shoreline crankbait or chatterbait bite is hanging on early. Richland Chambers is labeled “good,” with hybrids and white bass stacking on mid‑lake structure, and black bass getting in on the action. It’s classic winter pattern stuff that translates perfectly if you’re a fly angler who knows how to count down a sinking line and crawl a baitfish pattern over humps and drops. On the tournament side, college and grassroots circuits are heating up. The Association of Collegiate Anglers just recapped the mid‑season standings for the 2025‑26 Bass Pro Shops School of the Year race, and those kids are traveling coast to coast, putting serious pressure on the best largemouth and smallmouth water in the country. Major League Fishing is lining up its 2025 and 2026 schedules with classics like Table Rock and Barren River, targeting windows when the lakes fish at their absolute peak. Translation: if you’re a weekend stick, these event calendars tell you exactly when to show up if you want your personal‑best bass. Curious where to point a fly rod? Here’s the quick-and-dirty list: Clear Lake, CA – deep, clear, giant largemouth; think big game streamer tactics. St. Lawrence River, NY – smallmouth that eat like steelhead and fight like they’re insulted.

Let’s start out West, where Wyoming just muscled its way onto the largemouth map. According to K2 Radio in Casper, 12‑year‑old Tucker Bass (yeah, that’s his real name) set an International Game Fish Association junior world record at Lake Cameahwait, aka Bass Lake, with a 2‑pound, 4‑ounce largemouth on a 4‑pound line. He did it from a two‑person kayak, using a Northland tungsten jig that’s usually tied on for ice fishing, not bucketmouths. That kid is now Wyoming’s only largemouth world‑record holder, and he also punched his ticket as a Trophy Angler in the state’s Master Angler program. Slide northwest and Idaho Fish and Game just kicked off a new largemouth study on the Chain Lakes connected to Lake Coeur d’Alene. Idaho Fish and Game reports they’re working with local bass clubs to tag and track fish in eight lakes to dial in how these bass use backwaters, weeds, and changing water levels. Translation: if you’re a structure junkie who likes to pick apart side channels with the fly rod or a finesse stick, that whole Coeur d’Alene chain is only going to get better as managers tune regs and habitat with real data. Midwestern crew, don’t sleep on northern Wisconsin. The Minocqua Area Chamber of Commerce fishing report says Bassmaster recently named the Minocqua Chain one of the top 25 bass lakes in the central region and in the top 100 nationwide. Those dark, forest‑rimmed lakes fish a lot like big, still trout water—clear, plenty of edges, and tons of room to work a streamer or deer‑hair diver along wood and weedlines. Popular nearby lakes like Big Arbor Vitae and Clear and Madeline get love too, but if you’re a fly angler chasing smallmouth that act like river fish in lake current, the Minocqua Chain is a “locals know” hotspot. Down in bass‑boat country, the tournament scene is still punching. The Bass Cast reports Matt Robertson just hammered 16.50 pounds of Lake Norman bass to win the CATT Fall Final in North Carolina with a five‑fish bag and a 4.69 kicker. Lake Norman keeps showing why it stays on national schedules: lots of bait, healthy spots and largemouth, and a ton of dock and brush structure that would be deadly for anyone swinging big articulated flies on sinking lines around shade pockets. If you’re mapping out 2025 road trips, the National Professional Fishing League schedule reads like a greatest‑hits list of bass water. The League’s 2025 slate includes Santee Cooper in South Carolina, Lake Norman in North Carolina, Douglas in Tennessee, Lake Eufaula in Oklahoma, the St. Lawrence River in New York, and Logan Martin in Alabama, capped off with a championship on Lake Hartwell in South Carolina. Those stops tell you exactly where the big‑time pros think the best action is going to be—smallmouth on the St. Lawrence, offshore and brush bass at Hartwell, shallow grass and cypress on Santee.

Let’s start with big-fish buzz. Out in Wyoming, a 12-year-old named Tucker Bass (yeah, that’s his real last name) just set an IGFA world record with a 2‑pound, 4‑ounce largemouth on 4‑pound test from little Lake Cameahwait, better known as Bass Lake. According to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, he stuck it from a kayak on a tiny Northland tungsten ice jig. That’s about as close to fly-fishing finesse as conventional gear gets: light line, tiny profile, vertical presentation. Down in Arkansas, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission just rolled out its new Legacy Lunker trophy bass program, reported by the Arkadelphian. Any largemouth over 10 pounds caught Jan. 1 through March 31 can be turned over alive to the agency, spawned at the Joe Hogan hatchery, and the big mama goes back to her home lake after she recovers. They’re even pairing these Arkansas lunkers with “thoroughbred” Florida-strain males from Red Hills Fishery’s TITAN MAXX line. Translation: more legit megabass genetics swimming around places you and I can launch a jon boat. If you’re looking for hot spots, the tournament world is basically drawing a giant red circle on a few lakes. Major League Fishing just announced the 2026 Bass Pro Tour schedule, and it opens on Lake Guntersville in Alabama, then swings through Hartwell in South Carolina, O.H. Ivie and Whitney down in Texas, Beaver Lake in Arkansas, Grand Lake in Oklahoma, and Lake Erie out of Ohio. When the top pros keep going back, it’s because those places kick out big bags and plenty of bites. Guntersville in January is going to be especially interesting. MLF notes this will be their first multi-day January event there, so think cold-water grass edges, bait pushed into drains, and fish that will absolutely eat something slow-rolled or crawled along bottom. If you’re a fly angler, picture suspending game changers and big bunny leeches along that same grass and shell. Speaking of smallmouth, Major League Fishing’s Fishing Towns series just revisited Dale Hollow on the Tennessee–Kentucky line, still dining out on that legendary 11‑pound, 15‑ounce smallie. Dale Hollow is classic “big water fly” structure: steep rocky banks, clear water, fish that’ll track a long cast with a sinking line and a neutral-buoyancy baitfish pattern. If you like swinging streamers for browns, this is that vibe, just with bronze backs that jump higher. On the grassroots side, the Carolina Anglers Team Trail keeps stacking weekend tournaments across the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, quietly highlighting how good the local lakes really are. If you’re fly-curious, a lot of those smaller Southeast reservoirs are perfect for sneaking around the backs of creeks with an 8‑weight and a handful of deer‑hair divers.

Let’s start with some brag-worthy stuff. Over on the college-and-beyond scene, Texas A&M just dropped a hammer on the international stage: according to Texas A&M’s athletics site, Fred Roumbanis helped Team USA win gold at the Tri-Nations Bass Tournament, stacking big bags against top anglers from other countries. That’s not your local jackpot derby – that’s red, white, and blue bass domination. Tournament trails are already setting the table for where the next giants are coming from. B.A.S.S. just announced the 2026 Bassmaster Elite Qualifiers schedule, and it’s basically a greatest-hits list of U.S. bass water. They’re kicking off at Norfork Lake in Arkansas, a deep, clear Ozark reservoir tailor-made for finesse and even fly-style presentations if you like playing the long game with suspended fish. Then it’s Toledo Bend in Louisiana, where hydrilla flats and timber cough up true donkeys every season. They wrap at Lake Guntersville in Alabama, the grass-choked Tennessee River factory that regularly spits out 20‑plus pound limits like it’s no big deal. Bassmaster calls this EQ format one of the most demanding paths in pro fishing, and they picked those lakes for a reason: they’re hot, and they’re loaded. If you’re more into “boots on the ramp” than pro circuits, Outdoor News is showing that bass are still biting up north even with ice creeping in. Their December state reports talk about thin ice forming across Iowa, Ohio, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania, but there’s still open water and transition smallmouth and largemouth to be picked off in rivers and power-plant lakes while everyone else sharpens augers.

Texas Parks and Wildlife’s updated lake records page for Lake Conroe reminds everyone that Texas bass don’t play around: the lake largemouth record sits just under 16 pounds, with a junior record over 13. Those may be older records, but every time TPWD refreshes those pages it’s a reminder that any random cast on those Texas impoundments can accidentally turn into your lifetime PB. Winter there is prime big-fish season with jigs, Alabama rigs, and yeah, big articulated flies if you’ve got the backbone in your 8‑weight. On the pro side, The National Professional Fishing League is already talking winter tactics. Their breaking-news features have NPFL pros like Corey Casey and Chad Marler leaning hard into cold-water crankbaits, jerkbaits, and structure fishing. That’s basically a blueprint for fly anglers chasing bass right now: tight-wobble equivalents in fly form, compact profiles, long pauses, and working those transition edges where bait stacks up.

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 16:12:39 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here, sliding out of the rod locker with your weekly bass fix. Let’s start with some brag-worthy stuff. Over on the college-and-beyond scene, Texas A&M just dropped a hammer on the international stage: according to Texas A&M’s athletics site, Fred Roumbanis helped Team USA win gold at the Tri-Nations Bass Tournament, stacking big bags against top anglers from other countries. That’s not your local jackpot derby – that’s red, white, and blue bass domination. Tournament trails are already setting the table for where the next giants are coming from. B.A.S.S. just announced the 2026 Bassmaster Elite Qualifiers schedule, and it’s basically a greatest-hits list of U.S. bass water. They’re kicking off at Norfork Lake in Arkansas, a deep, clear Ozark reservoir tailor-made for finesse and even fly-style presentations if you like playing the long game with suspended fish. Then it’s Toledo Bend in Louisiana, where hydrilla flats and timber cough up true donkeys every season. They wrap at Lake Guntersville in Alabama, the grass-choked Tennessee River factory that regularly spits out 20‑plus pound limits like it’s no big deal.

Let’s start with the big bites. Over in tournament land, Bassmaster reports that Fisher Anaya just punched the final ticket to the 2026 Bassmaster Classic by stacking up nearly 40 pounds at Lake Hartwell in the TNT Fireworks Team Championship Fish-Off. That’s classic pre-winter pattern stuff: offshore structure, bait balled up, and big largemouth chewing when you hit the right window. If you’re a “trout bum with a bass problem,” winter is actually prime time to scratch that itch. Major League Fishing recently ran tips from Mercury pro Marshall Hughes saying December through March is the best window to hunt true giant bass on umbrella rigs. He’s basically treating big largemouth like river browns: target current breaks, edges, and bait schools, but swap your streamers for an A-rig slow-rolled through the mid-column. Hot-spot scouting? Texas is on fire even as temps drop. Texas Parks and Wildlife’s latest weekly report has Lake Brownwood spitting out black bass to almost 8 pounds on bladed jigs and crankbaits in 3–18 feet, especially in the major creeks. Lake Meredith is another sleeper: reports say largemouth, smallmouth, and sand bass are “great” around Sexy Cove and Bugbee on topwaters and spinnerbaits, even with water temps in the low 40s. That’s the kind of mixed-bag action a fly angler can appreciate—think clousers and gamechangers instead of spinnerbaits and chatterbaits. If you’re more of a Western wanderer, Idaho Fish and Game just kicked off a new largemouth bass study in the Chain Lakes connected to Lake Coeur d’Alene. Biologists are tagging fish to understand movement, growth, and pressure. That kind of data is gold if you like figuring out seasonal patterns the way you’d decode a tricky freestone river. Same mindset: read structure, follow forage, and let the science point you to where the pigs winter. There’s also some big-picture stuff worth chewing on. Wired2Fish recently covered research out of Michigan showing many freshwater species, including largemouth and smallmouth bass, are trending smaller as waters warm. Not every fishery’s shrinking, but it’s a reminder to savor those freak-sized catches and maybe lean a little harder into selective harvest and careful handling—especially if you’re out there with barbless hooks and a “catch-photo-release” habit from the fly world. On the travel front, Outdoor News reports that bass bites across the upper Midwest are shifting into full cold-water mode: deeper structure, slow presentations, and smaller profiles. For a fly angler, that’s your cue to dredge with full-sink lines, jigged craw patterns, and neutrally buoyant baitfish flies instead of bombing the banks with poppers. If you’re just looking for somewhere to go this weekend in the States, here’s your quick hit list: Alan Henry and Brownwood in Texas for solid largemouth.

Let’s start in Texas, because of course we are. Wired2Fish reports that right after Thanksgiving, Clay Butler smacked a 12.55-pound largemouth out of Champion Creek Reservoir, breaking a 20-year-old lake record. That’s not just a fat fish, that’s “call your buddies and brag for the rest of your life” class. Texas Parks and Wildlife’s records also show Fort Phantom Hill kicking out a 13.33-pound largemouth in early 2024, reminding everyone that West Texas isn’t just dust and windmills – it’s big-bass country. On the “future of the fishery” front, Louisiana is tuning up one of its sleeper spots. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries says they’re dropping 140 adult Florida-strain largemouth into Lake Buhlow in Pineville, on top of 77 they planted earlier this year. Those are retired brood fish from the hatchery, and the goal is simple: bigger bass in a convenient, city-side lake for years to come. Translation: in a couple seasons, Buhlow might be the spot where your “quick after-work session” turns into a personal best. Up in Idaho, things are getting nerdy in a good way. Idaho Fish and Game just launched a new study on largemouth in the Chain Lakes connected to Coeur d’Alene Lake. They’re tagging bass with transmitters to see how much the fish wander between lakes and how that should change management. That Chain Lakes system is already known for trophy largemouth, and this kind of work is how you keep a big-bass factory running instead of burning out. If you’re chasing hot current bites, Sam Rayburn Reservoir in Texas is still one of the most reliable factories for 5-pound-plus fish. Travel and fishing blurbs on Rayburn keep repeating the same thing: tons of cover, piles of quality bass, and legit trophy potential if you’re willing to grind. Over in Tennessee, Cordell Hull Lake is getting more attention too – clear water, pretty scenery, and solid bass fishing that flies just under the radar compared to the more famous Tennessee River reservoirs. Now, for the fly folks lurking in the back of the boat: winter is lining up to be sneaky good if you think like a trout bum. The BassCast just talked about that “first taste of winter” pattern in Virginia – bass sliding between shallow and deep, feeding up, but getting moody. Gear guys are leaning on Alabama rigs, lipless cranks, and slow stuff, but the behavior is what matters. Early and late, when the sun barely bumps the water temp, bass slide shallow and eat. Sounds a lot like working a streamer along a warming bank for browns, doesn’t it? Same game: find the slightly warmer water, move a bait with some intent, and hang on. Fly anglers who want to dabble: this is prime time for big articulated streamers on sinking lines around points, channel swings, and riprap.

Down in Alabama, Fisher Anaya is on fire. Fresh off locking in his spot on the 2026 Bassmaster Elite Series, he just punched his ticket to the 2026 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic by winning the TNT Fireworks Bassmaster Team Championship Classic Fish-Off on Lake Hartwell. His two-day total of 39 pounds, 15 ounces was just enough to edge out Barrett Choquette and grab that final Classic berth. If you’re into fly fishing, you’ll appreciate this kid’s finesse and focus – he’s the real deal. Over on Lake Guntersville, Nathan Brewer made a serious statement in the Toyota Series opener. He jumped out to a big Day 1 lead with a smallmouth-only bag that weighed 28 pounds, 5 ounces. That’s right – all smallies, and one of them was a 6-pound, 11-ounce monster. Brewer didn’t even need many casts, saying he made about 20 and then called it a day. That kind of efficiency is what dreams are made of. If you’re looking for a hot spot this winter, Lake Patoka in Indiana is shaping up to be a real battleground. Anglers there are facing a fun choice: flip the flooded bushes for spawning largemouth or head toward the dam and target the lake’s growing smallmouth population. There are so many flooded bushes that fish can hide deep in the creeks, but if you can find the right ones, a 20-pound bag isn’t out of the question. More realistically, a solid mixed bag in the 16-17 pound range could be the winning ticket. Wheeler Lake in Alabama is another place to watch. It’s home to all three major bass species, but right now smallmouth are the talk of the lake. They’re running bigger than usual and are easier to pattern as the water cools. Guides and fisheries managers agree that smallmouth could dominate the Toyota Series Championship there, especially around the Decatur Flats and below Guntersville Dam. If you see a 25-pound bag during that event, it’ll likely come from below the dam – though doing it three days in a row is a tall order. Out in Texas, Possum Kingdom Lake just had a few new all-tackle records added. The smallmouth bass record still stands at 6.80 pounds, but there’s plenty of action on other species that share the water with bass. If you’re chasing big fish, it’s a good reminder that even in colder months, the right spot and presentation can turn a slow day into a memory-maker. For those of you who like to slow it down, winter bass fishing is all about deep, stable structure and slow presentations. Focus on points, ledges, and current breaks, and don’t be afraid to crawl a jig or drag a soft plastic. December is a transitional month on many lakes, including Toledo Bend, where anglers are tweaking their approach to match winter patterns. Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more bite-sized bass news.

Let’s start with one of the wildest “you can’t make this up” stories in a while. Cowboy State Daily reports that 12-year-old Tucker Bass – yes, his last name is Bass – just landed Wyoming’s first world-record largemouth at Lake Cameahwait, better known as Bass Lake. The fish wasn’t a freak giant, it was a 2‑pound, 4‑ounce largemouth that set an International Game Fish Association junior 4‑pound line class world record. Dad’s name? John Bass. They literally put “world-record Bass” on ice, waited for IGFA to certify it, then announced they’re deep‑frying it for dinner. That’s about as local‑only as it gets. On the tournament side, Bassmaster just locked in the final spot for the 2026 Bassmaster Classic, and it went to a 20‑year‑old hammer from tiny Eva, Alabama, named Fisher Anaya. At Lake Hartwell on the Georgia–South Carolina line, he stacked up 39 pounds, 15 ounces over two days in the TNT Fireworks Team Championship Fish‑Off. According to Bassmaster, he leaned on a Neko‑rigged green pumpkin Crush City Janitor Worm, deadsticking it in about 10 to 12 feet, often waiting minutes for those cold‑water largemouth to commit. Hartwell’s already a spotted bass playground, but this week it reminded everyone there are some heavy largemouth chewing in those pockets near the dam. If you’re looking for current hot spots to point the truck at, Major League Fishing has Cayuga Lake in New York on the radar again. Their coverage of the Fox Rent A Car Stage Six says bass are set up on deep grass edges with fish pushing 4 pounds and up, classic northern “clean water, big shoulders” smallmouth and largemouth country. Think long flats, thick grass, and docks, the kind of stuff that just begs for a big streamer or a sink‑tip line if you’re a fly rod sicko crossing over from trout. Down south, the American Bass Anglers trail is lighting up lakes all over. Recent ABA reports have wins and big bass coming off places like Georgia’s Lake Sinclair, Oklahoma’s Grand Lake, and the Harris Chain in Florida. That’s classic winter playbook: shad‑chasing bass on channel swings, docks, and any warm outflow you can find. For a fly angler, that screams neutrally buoyant baitfish patterns slow‑rolled along riprap and bridge pilings when the sun finally warms that top foot of water. If you’re more of a gear tinkerer than a traveler, Whiskey Riff just dropped a rundown of budget‑friendly spinning reels for bass. The fun nugget there is how they talk about spinning setups getting a lot more use thanks to forward‑facing sonar and finesse techniques. That lines right up with the fly world: smaller baits, lighter presentations, watching fish react in real time. Same obsession, just fewer false casts and more screens.

Quiet Please, let’s get into it. Bass fishing is definitely in that winter groove right now, but that doesn’t mean the big ones are playing hard to get. In fact, some serious fish are still getting caught if you know where to look. In Maryland, the upper Bay and lower Potomac are still giving up stripers in the deep channels, especially near steep drop offs and bridge pilings. Anglers are jigging metal and soft plastics in 40 to 50 feet of water and seeing some solid action, especially around the Route 301 Bridge on the Potomac and the deeper edges of the Patuxent. The water’s cold, but the bass are still down there, stacked up on the bottom and waiting for a well-placed jig. Over in Texas, the record books are still fresh. Just this past June, Owen Harmon hauled in a 14.25 pound largemouth at O.H. Ivie Lake, and that fish is now the lake’s all tackle record. That’s a serious slab, and it’s a reminder that even in the heat of summer, Texas lakes can still produce monsters. Right now, lakes like Sam Rayburn, Toledo Bend, and Fork are all in that late fall to early winter pattern where bass are moving deep, and the smart money is on slow presentations around points, humps, and deep brush. Out in California, the bass are hugging cover and structure. Reports from places like Lake Perris and Contra Loma say the best bites are coming from fish tight to rocks, weeds, and deeper structure. Early morning topwater can still fire them up, but most of the work is being done with slow, weedless soft plastics in natural or darker colors. If you’re into fly fishing, that’s a good hint – think big streamers and deep sinking lines around those same kinds of spots. In Ohio, West Branch Reservoir is still a powerhouse for big game. The lake’s known for muskies, but it’s also loaded with largemouth, smallmouth, and hybrid stripers. The bass are hanging around stump fields, creek mouths, and rip rap, especially on the east side of the lake. If you’re chasing that winter bite, focus on the main lake points and the drop offs near the dam. Back east, in the Chesapeake region, the stripers are heading deep as the water cools into the 40s. Anglers are finding them near the bottom in the Patapsco, Chester, and Choptank rivers, and the go to methods are jigging soft plastics and trolling umbrella rigs with heavy weights. Some guys are even using hookless spoons as teasers and seeing good results. And if you’re into tournaments, the pro scene is heating up. Major League Fishing just announced the 2026 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit is now up to 140 pros, with only 10 spots left before the field is full. That’s a stacked lineup, and it shows how much momentum bass fishing still has. So whether you’re chasing slab crappie, big smallies, or a personal best largemouth, there’s still plenty of action out there. Just dress warm, stay safe, and keep your eyes on the depth finder.

Bass fishing is definitely in that winter groove right now, but that doesn’t mean the big ones are playing hard to get. In fact, some serious fish are still getting caught if you know where to look. In Maryland, the upper Bay and lower Potomac are still giving up stripers in the deep channels, especially near steep drop offs and bridge pilings. Anglers are jigging metal and soft plastics in 40 to 50 feet of water and seeing some solid action, especially around the Route 301 Bridge on the Potomac and the deeper edges of the Patuxent. The water’s cold, but the bass are still down there, stacked up on the bottom and waiting for a well-placed jig. Over in Texas, the record books are still fresh. Just this past June, Owen Harmon hauled in a 14.25 pound largemouth at O.H. Ivie Lake, and that fish is now the lake’s all tackle record. That’s a serious slab, and it’s a reminder that even in the heat of summer, Texas lakes can still produce monsters. Right now, lakes like Sam Rayburn, Toledo Bend, and Fork are all in that late fall to early winter pattern where bass are moving deep, and the smart money is on slow presentations around points, humps, and deep brush. Out in California, the bass are hugging cover and structure. Reports from places like Lake Perris and Contra Loma say the best bites are coming from fish tight to rocks, weeds, and deeper structure. Early morning topwater can still fire them up, but most of the work is being done with slow, weedless soft plastics in natural or darker colors. If you’re into fly fishing, that’s a good hint – think big streamers and deep sinking lines around those same kinds of spots. In Ohio, West Branch Reservoir is still a powerhouse for big game. The lake’s known for muskies, but it’s also loaded with largemouth, smallmouth, and hybrid stripers. The bass are hanging around stump fields, creek mouths, and rip rap, especially on the east side of the lake. If you’re chasing that winter bite, focus on the main lake points and the drop offs near the dam. Back east, in the Chesapeake region, the stripers are heading deep as the water cools into the 40s. Anglers are finding them near the bottom in the Patapsco, Chester, and Choptank rivers, and the go to methods are jigging soft plastics and trolling umbrella rigs with heavy weights. Some guys are even using hookless spoons as teasers and seeing good results. And if you’re into tournaments, the pro scene is heating up. Major League Fishing just announced the 2026 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit is now up to 140 pros, with only 10 spots left before the field is full. That’s a stacked lineup, and it shows how much momentum bass fishing still has. So whether you’re chasing slab crappie, big smallies, or a personal best largemouth, there’s still plenty of action out there. Just dress warm, stay safe, and keep your eyes on the depth finder.

Let’s start with the kind of catch every kid (and, let’s be honest, every grown-up) dreams about. Cowboy State Daily reports that 12‑year‑old Tucker Bass just landed a world‑record largemouth in Wyoming’s junior division on 4‑pound line at Lake Cameahwait, better known as “Bass Lake.” That fish wasn’t just big for a kid; it’s the only IGFA‑certified world‑record largemouth ever caught in Wyoming, and he stuck it on a tungsten ice‑fishing jig while he was supposedly perch fishing. That’s the kind of happy accident that keeps all of us casting “one more time.” If you’re hunting hot water as winter creeps in, Douglas Lake in Tennessee is still acting like the neighborhood meetup spot for serious bass heads. Travel and rec outlets are calling it a year‑round bass hotspot, and it keeps drawing tournament trails plus a steady flow of weekend warriors working those coves and points. Down South, nationwide forecast sites say the southern third of the U.S. is looking at mild temps and “seasonally pleasant” bass conditions right now, especially in the Southeast and Southwest, so think slow‑rolled swimbaits, jigs, and deep structure instead of frantic bank‑beating. Tournament scene? It’s buzzing. Bassmaster just crowned Peyton Sorrow and Dalton Head at the TNT Fireworks Team Championship on Lake Hartwell with 10 bass for just under 39 pounds over two days, anchored by largemouth over 6 pounds. On top of that, B.A.S.S. just announced a big tweak to its “No‑Information” rule for the 2026 season, tightening the 28‑day off‑limits window but easing up outside it so pros can fish and hang out with friends on tournament waters again without feeling like they’re breaking some secret code. The idea came from angler feedback and is supposed to keep things fair without killing the fun. For you trout and fly folks peeking over the fence, bass country is starting to look very familiar. More states are talking about warmwater management like it actually matters, stocking bass in select tidal and reservoir systems and surveying populations with the same seriousness usually reserved for salmonids. Some western lakes are seeing bass mixed right in with trout and perch, and anglers are already tinkering with big streamers, game‑changers, and even poppers on 7‑ and 8‑weights, treating largemouth like the unbuttoned cousin of brown trout. Same tuck cast, same current seams and edges; just swap the #18 BWO for a meaty baitfish pattern and hang on. If you’re planning a trip, circle spots like Douglas Lake in Tennessee, the big Carolina reservoirs like Hartwell, and the classic southern impoundments in Texas, Georgia, and Alabama that keep showing up in national “best fishing cities” lists for their bass lakes nearby.

Artificial Lure here with your weekly rundown of what's happening in the freshwater scene. Strap in because this week's got some seriously exciting developments. Let's kick things off with the big news from Major League Fishing. The 2025 Bass Pro Tour season is about to explode with some major changes that'll shake up how we think about competitive bass fishing. Starting January 30th at Lake Conroe in Texas, the tour is ditching forward-facing sonar completely, which means anglers are going back to old-school tactics. We're talking more crankbaits, more bladed jigs, and way more water coverage. If you've been wondering why your favorite pros suddenly looked like they forgot how to fish, this is why. Plus, event winners are now pulling down 150 grand instead of 100k, which should light a fire under some competitive butts. Now here's where it gets really interesting for folks who appreciate finesse fishing. Florida's Rodman Reservoir is absolutely on fire right now, and I'm not just saying that because the lake is partially drawn down. The state implemented a catch-and-release regulation for largemouth bass because the fishing has become absolutely ridiculous. We're talking double-digit bass daily. Charter captains are reporting six bass per angler over ten pounds in just a couple of weeks, with some topping eleven pounds. They're working the upper Ocklawaha River channel with shiners, targeting deep holes and submerged structure. If you want to cross a ten-pounder off your bucket list, this is literally the time. The drawdown continues through late February, so the window won't stay open forever. Over in Texas, Cedar Creek is reporting excellent hybrid and white bass fishing on mid-lake points and drop-offs in eight to fourteen feet of water. The dam area and spillway humps are producing solid numbers. Meanwhile, Comanche Creek stays warm thanks to a power plant, which means largemouth fishing is outstanding even as winter sets in. Soft plastics are the weapon of choice. In the Chesapeake region, Maryland anglers are finding consistent striped bass action in the deeper waters, especially around the mouth of the Choptank and Eastern Bay. The water temperatures are dropping into the low forties, which means fish are hugging the bottom in deep channels. Trolling and jigging around the steep channel edges from Saint Georges Island to Piney Point has been producing nice results. Here's something wild: a new world record just got certified by the International Game Fish Association. Florida angler Benny Ortiz caught a gag grouper that measured ninety-eight centimeters, setting a new length record for the species. The kicker? He released it back into the Gulf. That's the kind of conservation mindset we need to see more of in fishing.

This is Artificial Lure coming at you with the freshest bass fishing intel from across the nation. Whether you're a dedicated fly fisher looking to switch things up or just someone who appreciates a good fish tale, stick around because we've got some seriously cool stuff happening in the bass world right now. Let's kick things off with some monster catches that'll make you want to grab your rod immediately. Over in Montana, Joshua Johnson just landed a smallmouth bass weighing 8.4 pounds at Fort Peck Reservoir back in September. That's serious hardware, folks. And if you're into striped bass, Georgia's still holding it down with those legendary 63-pound beauties that were caught way back in 1967 and 2009. The fact that those records are still standing tells you something about how hard it is to land a true monster. Now, here's where it gets really interesting for the fly fishing crowd. Arizona and Nevada are shaking things up with their fishing regulations, and it could affect how anglers approach their fishing. According to the Arizona Game and Fish Department, Nevada's removing the 20-fish daily limit on striped bass over 20 inches at both Lake Mead and Lake Mohave, effective January 1st. That means unlimited striped bass if you're willing to put in the work. The research suggests this won't hurt the fish populations because striped bass growth depends way more on food availability than how many you harvest. Pretty cool, right? They're also aligning catfish limits at 25 fish daily to match Nevada's rules, which should make things easier for everyone hitting those lakes. Speaking of hot spots, Lake Hartwell in South Carolina is absolutely buzzing right now. The area just hosted the 2025 TNT Fireworks Bassmaster Team Championship running through December 6th, which means the lake's been getting serious attention from elite anglers nationwide. If you're thinking about heading that way, the conditions are definitely dialed in. Over at Enid Reservoir in Mississippi, the fishing report from early December shows that largemouth bass are positioning themselves in the clearest water available near cover and main lake points. The cooler weather's got them active, so targeting spinnerbaits and jigs early morning and late evening is your ticket. This is the kind of detailed intel that fly fishers can absolutely use, adjusting your presentations based on water clarity and seasonal behavior. Here's something wild for you seasonal enthusiasts: Lake Vermilion up north is already starting to ice over as of late November, which means the open water reports are wrapping up and ice fishing reports will be coming soon. If you're into that style of fishing, that's your signal to start prepping your winter gear. The winter fishing community is excited too. December is prime time for cooler water tactics, and blade baits are supposedly dominating for lethargic fish just above freezing temperatu This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you’ve been itching to get out on the water, you’re in luck—there’s some serious action happening right now, and the fish are biting. First up, let’s talk about some jaw-dropping catches. Over on Toledo Bend, Cody Pitt just made history with a five-fish limit that weighed in at a whopping 39 pounds, 15 ounces. That’s not just a personal best—it’s the biggest single-day catch ever recorded in BFL competition, and it’s the sixth-largest five-bass limit in MLF history. Pitt’s big bass of the day was a 13-pound, 6-ounce monster, which is now the largest bass ever weighed in BFL events. He said the fish were scattered after some heavy rain, but he managed to find the right spots and make the perfect decisions. If you’re looking for a trophy, Toledo Bend is definitely the place to be. Now, if you’re more into the tournament scene, the 2025 Bass Pro Tour is heating up. The season kicked off at Lake Conroe in Texas, where the top pros are competing for big bucks and valuable points in the Angler of the Year race. The tour will hit some new venues this year, including Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia for the General Tire Heavy Hitters event. The format is also changing—this year, the full field will compete simultaneously in the Qualifying Round, with the top anglers advancing to the Knockout and Championship Rounds. Every day of catch, weigh, and immediate-release competition is live on MLFNOW! and streamed on the Major League Fishing app, MyOutdoorTV, and Rumble. So, if you can’t make it to the lake, you can still catch all the action from your couch. For those of you who prefer a more relaxed, local vibe, Portage Riverwalk and Fishing Pier in Ohio is a great spot for bank bass fishing. Visitors love the clean dock and boat ramp, and it’s known for freshwater drum as well as bass. If you’re in the area, it’s worth a stop. Down in Alabama, the bass fishing community is still feeling the effects of the recent Smith Lake crash. Several tournaments have been canceled due to liability concerns, and there’s a lot of discussion about permits and safety. The popular Black Friday and New Year’s Day tournaments on Lake Guntersville are officially coming to an end, and Auburn University’s bass fishing team has canceled its upcoming event on Lake Jordan. It’s a tough time for tournament organizers, but safety is the top priority. If you’re looking for a new spot to try, South Holston Lake in Tennessee is a 7,580-acre reservoir that’s perfect for bass fishing and a variety of water sports. The lake is known for its excellent opportunities, so it’s a great choice for a weekend getaway. Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more bass fishing news and tips.

Artificial Lure here, and boy do we have some exciting stuff happening in the bass fishing world right now. December is officially here, and let me tell you, things are heating up across the country. Let's kick things off with what's happening this week. The 2025 TNT Fireworks Bassmaster Team Championship is about to go down from December 3rd through the 6th at Lake Hartwell in Anderson, South Carolina. We're talking about around 450 anglers competing for 120,000 dollars in prize money, with the winning team taking home 50,000 bucks. But here's the really cool part—the top five teams get to compete in a Classic Fish-Off where their weights get zeroed and they're fishing individually for two days. The winner gets a ticket to the 2026 Bassmaster Classic in Knoxville, Tennessee. That's some serious motivation right there. Now, Lake Hartwell has some unique conditions going into this event. The water level is down, which typically pushes largemouth and spotted bass to congregate in specific areas. Local anglers are expecting a mix of both species to make up the winning bags, with predictions running around 16 to 18 pounds per day to have a solid shot at the championship rounds. What's really interesting is that with modern technology like Forward Facing Sonar, anglers have figured out how to target some seriously big spotted bass in mid-range to deep water. The traditional winter playbook includes fishing the backs of drains, but we're hearing some competitors might try totally different tactics to shake things up. Speaking of big bass, let me tell you about some absolutely insane catches that have happened recently. Over on the Major League Fishing circuit, Randy Howell from Alabama pulled off something wild at the B&W Trailer Hitches Stage One event. During the Knockout Round, he absolutely shattered the Bass Pro Tour big-bass record with a 10-pound 11-ounce largemouth on Caney Creek Reservoir. But get this—Howell didn't stop there. The very next day during the Championship Round on Bussey Brake, he broke his own brand new record by landing a 12-pound 14-ounce beast. Two days, two record-breaking fish. That's the kind of stuff that makes us bass nuts absolutely lose our minds. If you're looking for some legendary smallmouth fishing, Dale Hollow Lake on the Tennessee-Kentucky border has become the stuff of folklore. The lake can claim some of the biggest smallmouth bass ever caught, and there's a legitimate monster hanging on the wall at the Pickett County Visitors Center in Byrdstown, Tennessee—an 11-pound 15-ounce smallmouth that helped make this lake world famous. This place is hallowed ground for anyone serious about chasing trophy smallmouth. For the fly fishing crowd specifically, winter is actually prime time for smallmouth bass. The Indiana fishing reports suggest that successful winter smallmouth fishing requires a gear shift in strategy.

Artificial Lure here, bringing you the hottest bass fishing intel from across the country. Whether you're a die-hard largemouth chaser or a smallmouth purist, we've got some fantastic news this week. Let's start with what's happening on the tournament scene. Cole Breeden just absolutely crushed it at Lake of the Ozarks in the Toyota Series, pulling in a total weight of 40 pounds and 13 ounces to take home over 33 grand. Now here's the wild part: during the same event, 43 professional anglers completely blanked, catching literally zero keeper bass across two days of fishing. Breeden's secret? Pure consistency. He caught five bass every single day, which might sound like the bare minimum, but when the rest of the field is struggling this hard, that's championship material right there. The guy's success came down to patience and technology. Breeden was using LiveScope to watch fish hanging deep near structure, and he knew exactly when they were eating even when he couldn't feel the bite. That's the kind of situational awareness that separates winners from the rest of us. Over in Tennessee, Cherokee Lake is gearing up for back-to-back Phoenix Bass Fishing League events this May, and pro angler Nick Hatfield is predicting some serious action. He's calling the early morning shad spawn bite critical and expects the middle section of the lake to hold the best quality largemouths. Hatfield thinks an 18-pound bag could win it all, with anything between 13 and 15 pounds putting anglers in the money. The upper dam tailrace could be money as well, so don't overlook those areas during practice. Now let's talk hot spots. If you're looking for trophy striped bass action, Lake Mead and Lake Mohave are about to get even better. Nevada's Department of Wildlife is removing the 20-fish daily bag limit on striped bass over 20 inches starting January 1st, and Arizona is following suit to keep regulations consistent across both states. The research shows these fish grow based on food availability rather than harvest pressure, so removing that limit won't hurt the population. It's basically open season for serious striped bass hunters. Speaking of regulations, if you're chasing catfish at Lake Mead or Lake Mohave, Arizona is proposing to bump the daily limit from 10 to 25 fish to match Nevada's regulations. This standardization is going to make enforcement easier and reduce confusion for us anglers hitting these border lakes. Over on the Jersey Shore, Belmar was just crowned New Jersey's number one fishing town for 2025, with five other Monmouth County communities making the top fishing destinations list. If you're looking for some Northeast action, the Shore is calling. For those of you keeping tabs on regional fishing reports, steelhead action has been steady across multiple northern sections, with reports coming in hot from places like the Rainy River and various New York locations.

Grab your coffee because we've got some seriously hot action happening across the country right now, and fly fishing folks, don't tune out yet—some of these techniques translate beautifully to what you're doing with your rods. Let's start with some jaw-dropping news out of Alabama. Dustin Connell just absolutely dominated Bass Pro Shops REDCREST 2025 on Lake Guntersville, landing 87 pounds and 11 ounces on 27 bass. The man is a machine. This is his third REDCREST title, which puts him in rare company alongside bass fishing legends. What makes this even crazier is that Connell caught 31 pounds in just 36 minutes during championship rounds. He found massive fish too—six weighing 4 pounds or more. If you're tying patterns or thinking about your approach, Connell's success shows that finding quality fish in winter deep water is absolutely worth the effort. Now, if you're on the East Coast, the Chesapeake Bay is firing right now, according to the Maryland Fishing Report. Upper Bay anglers are absolutely stacking blue catfish and striped bass around the Conowingo Dam pool and Susquehanna River mouth. The action is moving deeper as water temperatures drop below 50 degrees, so trolling with tandem-rigged bucktails and umbrella rigs is becoming the name of the game. Some of these striped bass are suspending as deep as 55 feet. Middle Bay holds solid action around the Bay Bridge piers and rock piles, while down in the Lower Potomac, the Line Bar and Sheepshead Bar are lighting it up. The Ocean City Inlet is producing excellent catch-and-release action too, though most fish are coming in a bit short of the 28-inch keeper size. Over on the West Coast, California's Isabella Lake stayed strong this week at 31 percent capacity with several five-plus-pound bass reported and some double-digit breakers in the mix. Rocky Point, Piney Point, and the flume in 15 to 25 feet of water are your sweet spots. Texas-rigged worms and swimbaits are doing the heavy lifting out there. Here's something really interesting for the fly fishing crowd. Grand Lake up in Oklahoma is hosting the Phoenix Bass Fishing League Okie Division kickoff on February 8th, and according to local anglers preparing for the event, jerkbaits and umbrella rigs are going to be huge players. But here's the kicker—one competitor mentioned that you can actually catch these fish on live minnows, which is about as close to traditional fly fishing tactics as competitive bass tournaments get. That's worth noting if you're thinking about branching out. For record hunters, Massachusetts just updated their sportfishing awards, with a 25-inch largemouth bass leading the freshwater category from the Chicopee River. Nothing earth-shattering, but it shows there's consistent quality bass across diverse regions.

It's your boy Artificial Lure, and let me tell you, the fishing world has been absolutely buzzing lately. We've got record-breaking catches, some absolutely stunning new fishing destinations, and tournament action that'll make your head spin. So grab your favorite rod and stick around. First up, we've got some serious record-breaking news coming out of Ohio. George Bruggeman from New Carlisle just landed the new Ohio state record striped bass weighing in at a whopping 37.375 pounds. Get this, he wasn't even targeting stripers when he hooked this beast back on September 29th at Kiser Lake. The guy was fishing for bluegills and yellow perch using nothing but a half nightcrawler on 8-pound test line. The fish measured 41.81 inches long with a girth of 27.36 inches. That's an absolute unit. This catch knocked the previous record, which had stood since 1993, clean off the books. Now if you're thinking about where to wet a line, Texas is absolutely killing it right now. Lake Fork over in East Texas is producing headlines with some absolutely massive bass. The 2025 Bassmaster Elite tournament just wrapped up there with multiple anglers breaking 100 pounds over four days. Lake Fork consistently produces more of Texas's top 50 largemouth bass than any other water in the state, and if you're serious about trophy hunting, this is the place. You've also got Sam Rayburn Reservoir hosting over 300 bass tournaments annually, and Lake Texoma, which they call the Striper Capital of the World, where self-sustaining striped bass populations mean you can regularly catch fish in the 10 to 20-pound range, some even pushing 35 pounds. Over in New York, if you're looking for something different, Cayuga Lake is hosting the Bass Pro Tour, and let me tell you, this lake is unique. It sits 450 feet deep at its middle and is lined with grass and packed with manmade features like docks that bass absolutely love. The pros are saying December through March is prime time for targeting giant bass there, so if you can make it up north, the cold water bite is going to be exceptional. The professional fishing scene is absolutely red-hot right now too. Cole Floyd just wrapped up his best season as a pro with five straight Top 10 finishes and finished fourth in the Angler of the Year voting. Jacob Powroznik dominated Stage Three of the Bass Pro Tour and picked up a win at Shearon Harris Reservoir. The National Professional Fishing League is also hitting full capacity for the 2026 season with 130 anglers locked in, so the competition is fiercer than ever. What's really cool is seeing grassroots fishing grow too. The CATT Lake Wateree Fall Final just crowned Kareem and Jaylin White as champions with five bass weighing 20.05 pounds, and there's seriously something happening every single week across the country.

Artificial Lure here with your weekly dose of freshwater action. Man, what a time to be a bass fisherman in this country right now. Let's kick things off with some seriously impressive tournament news. Dustin Connell just absolutely dominated the Bass Pro Shops REDCREST championship down in Huntsville, Alabama, hauling in 87 pounds and 11 ounces across 27 scorable bass on championship Sunday alone. That's three REDCREST titles for the guy, and he's now sitting in some seriously elite company alongside Hall of Famers Kevin VanDam and Rick Clunn. Connell made a gutsy call during the tournament, ditching his initial spawning pattern and running about 70 miles upriver to fish the tailrace below Nickajack Dam. That move paid off huge when he switched from his CrushCity Mayor swimbait to a Mooch Minnow in the final minutes before lines out. The guy went from 47th place to championship winner by finding quality fish in unexpected places. That's the kind of lesson we can all learn from. Speaking of tournament action, the 2025 Bass Pro Tour season is ramping up in a big way. The full schedule just dropped and it's absolutely stacked. The season kicks off in late January at Lake Conroe in Texas with seven stages across some of the best bass lakes in America. We're talking Lake Murray in South Carolina, Lake Guntersville in Alabama, Kentucky Lake, the Potomac River in Maryland, and finishing up at Saginaw Bay in Michigan. Every regular season event puts up a 150,000-dollar top prize, and 65 of the world's best anglers will be competing. Plus, there are three brand new venues on the Bass Pro Tour schedule this year, so expect some wild cards and unpredictable patterns. Now let's talk about where you can actually catch some bass right now. If you're on the East Coast, Maryland fishing reports are showing some solid action in deeper channel areas right now. Most stripers are holding close to the bottom in 40 to 55 feet of water, and trolling tandem rigged bucktails or jigging with large soft plastics in the 6 to 10 inch range is working. The Lower Potomac from Cobb Island down past Piney Point has been the hotspot, with steep edges like the Line Bar and Sheepshead Bar absolutely firing. Out in Texas, reports from late November show bass are still active in the mid-range depths. Lakes like Brownwood are producing black bass up to 8 pounds in 13 to 28 feet of water on Alabama rigs, while shallower shoreline work with bladed jigs and crankbaits is also good in 3 to 8 feet. Water temperatures are dropping into the mid to high 60s after recent cold fronts, which means bass are transitioning into winter patterns. Look for them on main lake drains and secondary points where creek channels swing through. Over in California, Clear Lake showed strong weight potential with productive windows developing later in the day this November.

The past week has been buzzing all across the country—let’s dip into the highlights! Starting off hot, the Santee Cooper Fall Final went down in South Carolina and, man, was it a barn burner. Jonathan Sutton and James Gibbons weighed in five bass totaling a whopping 22.07 pounds and also nailed the biggest fish of the day at 8.49 pounds. For late November, that’s pretty epic—shows Santee Cooper's still a heavyweight when it comes to big largemouth. Meanwhile, over on Lake Eufaula, Alabama, the self-proclaimed Big Bass Capital of the World, folks are still slinging spinnerbaits and catching chunky largemouth. This place breathes fishing: from the iconic “Manny” bass statue to the local bait shops and BBQ joints lined with tournament trophies, Eufaula is where legends are made and giant bass survive your wildest stories. If you’re chasing personal bests with a fly rod—think big poppers at dawn near submerged trees—Eufaula could be your next stop. Tournament anglers from the Major League Fishing tour are still riding high after wrapping up fall competitions at Kerr Lake and the James River. Over at Kerr, Tommy Marrow and Dennis Reedy landed five bass at nearly 20.32 pounds, and on the James, Brian LaClair flipped jigs for a five-fish bag of 18 pounds, 13 ounces. The James also coughed up a 7-pound, 11-ounce monster—serious bragging rights, especially if you’re used to casting streamers for smallies. For folks thinking beyond tourneys, lake reports nationwide keep showing promise. Iowa’s DNR said largemouth fishing is “excellent” if you work spinnerbaits and swim jigs around dying weed edges and rocky cuts in backwaters. And for you multispecies fans, check out spots like Argyle Lake in Illinois or Navajo Lake in New Mexico, where bass are hitting and the occasional kokanee or saugeye spices things up. Hot tip for gearheads: Major League Fishing is capping forward-facing sonar to two units per boat next season, leveling the playing field for everyone. If tech isn’t your thing, old-school fly tactics are alive and well—just mix it up with big streamers or surface poppers for explosive strikes in the shallows. In other news, North Carolina anglers, heads up! Starting next week, you’ll need to report any keepers of popular species, including striped bass, whenever you take ‘em home. The new rule aims to tighten management and keep the fishery thriving for all of us. Sounds like a small price for sustainable action and more big bass days. That’s all the juice for this week—record catches, wild tourneys, bonkers hot spots, and a sprinkle of rule updates for good measure. Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure's Bass Report!

Grab your rod, tie on a fly, and let’s hit it. First up, things are shaking on the tournament scene. Major League Fishing’s Bass Pro Tour is tightening things up this year, with only 66 pros competing in each event. The tour’s new rule limiting forward-facing sonar to just one out of the three daily fishing periods is generating some classic talk at the boat ramp. Old-schoolers are pumped to see more crankbaits and jigs in action—fewer heads buried in screens, more eyes scanning the water. It’s a shift back to tradition, so fly folks and finesse fans, keep an eye out for some creative strategy in next season’s streaming rounds. With a boosted $150,000 payout at each stop and a smaller cut-down roster in 2026, competition is about to get savage. On the recent catch front, Oklahoma pro Jason Christie absolutely dropped jaws by hauling in a monster 10-pound, 4-ounce largemouth—an MLF record—in competition. For trophy chasers, that’s the sort of bass we dream about landing. Meanwhile, over in Texas at Lake Fork and Possum Kingdom, anyone paying attention knows those lakes are always holding giants. Not just hype: Lake Fork is set to host its first-ever amateur-only showdown in March 2026, where fly anglers and every other weekend warrior can chase their share of $100,000 in prizes. Possum Kingdom keeps throwing up big fish, and while the legendary 16-pounder from ’89 still gets talked about, the lake regularly sees double-digit catches from savvy locals who know the structure and season. Looking for hot spots? Cross Lake in Louisiana is making headlines after Justin Lucas and Brent Ehrler dominated the Bass Pro Summit Cup, racking up nearly 30 pounds. Cross Lake’s mix of cypress, pads, and classic Southern structure makes it a must-fish, especially as more attention heats up the bite. If you’re in the Midwest, Lake Fork and Illinois waters are buzzing right now—good action on white bass and largemouths as the water drops cooler. For a taste of true bass legend, swing through Dale Hollow Lake on the Tennessee/Kentucky border. That’s where the 11-pound, 15-ounce smallmouth king still rules the wall, and locals know winter is prime for big-bronze fly-rod battles. Georgia’s Allatoona Lake is clearing up post-fall storm, with baitfish pushing up the river channels and bass following in droves. West Point Lake just set a new record for striped bass at a whopping 40 pounds—more proof these Southern reservoirs can surprise even a seasoned fly or light tackle hunter. Tournament diehards, the National Professional Fishing League is locking down its 2026 schedule: Harris Chain in Florida, Lake George in New York, stops in Texas and Alabama—the works. One hundred thirty anglers have the field locked, but there’s still daylight for up-and-comers to break in.

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 16:12:18 -0000 full Inception Point AI Bass fishing fans, it’s Artificial Lure, back with your locals-only scoop on what’s happening right now in the world of wild American bass fishing. Grab your rod, tie on a fly, and let’s hit it. First up, things are shaking on the tournament scene. Major League Fishing’s Bass Pro Tour is tightening things up this year, with only 66 pros competing in each event. The tour’s new rule limiting forward-facing sonar to just one out of the three daily fishing periods is generating some classic talk at the boat ramp. Old-schoolers are pumped to see more crankbaits and jigs in action—fewer heads buried in screens, more eyes scanning the water. It’s a shift back to tradition, so fly folks and finesse fans, keep an eye out for some creative strategy in next season’s streaming rounds. With a boosted $150,000 payout at each stop and a smaller cut-down roster in 2026, competition is about to get savage. On the recent catch front, Oklahoma pro Jason Christie absolutely dropped jaws by hauling in a monster 10-pound, 4-ounce largemouth—an MLF record—in competition. For trophy chasers, that’s the sort of bass we dream about landing. Meanwhile, over in Texas at Lake Fork and Possum Kingdom, anyone paying attention knows those lakes are always holding giants. Not just hype: Lake Fork is set to host its first-ever amateur-only showdown in March 2026, where fly anglers and every other weekend warrior can chase their share of $100,000 in prizes. Possum Kingdom keeps throwing up big fish, and while the legendary 16-pounder from ’89 still gets talked about, the lake regularly sees double-digit catches from savvy locals who know the structure and season. Looking for hot spots? Cross Lake in Louisiana is making headlines after Justin Lucas and Brent Ehrler dominated the Bass Pro Summit Cup, racking up nearly 30 pounds. Cross Lake’s mix of cypress, pads, and classic Southern structure makes it a must-fish, especially as more attention heats up the bite. If you’re in the Midwest, Lake Fork and Illinois waters are buzzing right now—good action on white bass and largemouths as the water drops cooler. For a taste of true bass legend, swing through Dale Hollow Lake on the Tennessee/Kentucky border. That’s where the 11-pound, 15-ounce smallmouth king still rules the wall, and locals know winter is prime for big-bronze fly-rod battles. Georgia’s Allatoona Lake is clearing up post-fall storm, with baitfish pushing up the river channels and bass following in droves.

If you’re itching to get out there and see what’s biting, you’re in the right place. First up, the big news: Justin Lucas and Brent Ehrler just ran away with the Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup on Cross Lake, Louisiana. These two powered through some tough conditions and stacked up a total of 29 pounds, 9 ounces, beating the defending champs by more than 12 pounds. Lucas brought in 10 bass for 19-1, and Ehrler’s late surge sealed the deal. If you’re looking for a hot spot, Cross Lake is definitely heating up, and the Summit Cup action is a must-watch when it hits Outdoor Channel next May. Over in Texas, Possum Kingdom Lake is still dropping some impressive numbers. The latest all-tackle record for largemouth bass is 16.02 pounds, caught back in 1989, but there’s still plenty of action for anglers who know where to look. If you’re chasing a trophy, this is one lake you don’t want to sleep on. Meanwhile, the National Professional Fishing League is gearing up for its 2026 season, and the field is full at 130 anglers. But if you’re a talented newcomer, there’s still a chance to squeeze in. The season kicks off in March on Florida’s Harris Chain of Lakes and wraps up in September on Lake George, New York. With events in Texas, Alabama, and more, it’s shaping up to be the biggest and best season yet. For the weekend warriors, Lake Fork in Texas is getting ready for its first-ever amateur-only tournament in March 2026. Lake Fork Lures and Sealy Outdoors are teaming up to put on a big-time event with over $100,000 in prizes. If you’re looking for a chance to test your skills against some of the best amateurs in the country, this is your shot. Back in Illinois, the fall bite is on, with white bass and largemouths taking advantage of the cooler water. Anglers are reporting good action across the state, so if you’re in the Midwest, now’s the time to get out there and see what you can catch. And for those of you who love a good derby, the 71st Annual LBI Surf Fishing Classic is still going strong on Long Beach Island. With daily, weekly, and grand prizes, it’s a great way to get in on some friendly competition and maybe even walk away with a little extra cash. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to come back next week for more fresh updates from the world of bass fishing.

Artificial Lure here, coming at you with the latest bass buzz from across the U.S. waters. Whether you’re tossing poppers from a skiff, bombing crankbaits off the bow, or swinging your 4-weight after hungry smallies, it’s been prime-time on the bass scene this November. Let’s kick things off with some monster catches. Evan Eldred just blew the doors off the Phoenix Bass Fishing League regional at Dale Hollow by weighing nearly 60 pounds of bass over three days. That’s 15 fish tipping the scales at 59 pounds, 10 ounces—an average of almost 4 pounds each, which is making local bassheads rethink everything they know about fall patterns. Word from Major League Fishing is that even the pros were in awe of this heavyweight performance. Now, if you want to chase your own November hawgs, a few hot spots have been lighting up. Illinois waters have been on fire for both white bass and largemouth, with Outdoor News reporting that fish are schooling up and feeding hard as water temps drop. Meanwhile, Wisconsin’s fall smallmouth run is still in full swing—Northwoods Bass says goby and sculpin imitations are straight-up cheat codes for giant bronzebacks. If you’re new to smallmouth fly action, the Great Lakes are rocking with 7–8 pound fish that’ll bend that fly rod double. In the South, tournament action is popping. The Bass Pro Summit Cup wrapped up on Cross Lake, and Major League Fishing reports teams duked it out using everything from herring imitations to Jackall Riser Baits. The mid-lake zones and brush piles have been the X-factor on lakes like Hartwell—the classic “run and gun” bite is winning tournaments, so don’t be afraid to stay mobile and hit those main lake points multiple times a day. Local anglers should check their calendars too. December’s shaping up for another Smith Mountain Lake/Kerr BassKings Solo, with Virginia and Carolina trails offering up some of the juiciest grassroots tourneys around, as seen on tournament calendars at The Bass Cast and Carolina Sportsman. From Buggs Island to Lake Wateree, these events are filling up fast—so grab those flies, plastics, or spinnerbaits and rig ‘em tight. Want some gear tips before you hit the water? The pros are dialing in on high-end tackle. Tactical Bassin’ has just dropped their holiday buyer’s guide, running through rods like G Loomis NRX+ and reels for every taste, but don’t let the pricetag scare you—fish can’t read the brand anyway. What matters most is matching local forage and keeping your presentation natural. In the North, that might be a goby or sculpin on a jig; in the South, think chrome moving baits or a shaky head for those deep brush bass. Bass fishing expos are coming up strong in January, so mark your calendar if you want to rub elbows with the pros, pick up some local secrets, or test drive the latest lures—The Bass Cast lists the Richmond Fishing Expo and Anglers Choice events as legit highlights for the new year.

Whether you toss poppers on the fly or chunk swimbaits from the deck, this week’s news is as fresh as a livewell at sunrise. Let’s talk recent big catches. At Lake Hamilton, Arkansas, the HLSS Bass Team Event is just wrapping up and stories are already coming in about some chunky largemouths showing up in weigh-ins. If you’re hungry for big-bass drama, check out what went down at the 2025 Big Bass Shootout—Wade Miley and Matt Lee took the honors with a top fish of 7.14 pounds, a true toad that’s got folks buzzing and dreaming of their own PBs. Meanwhile over at Falls Lake, North Carolina, Andrew Steagall and Daniel Dix dropped a sack weighing 27.74 pounds with their biggest at 7.27 pounds—these are the kind of tournament days we all dream about. For the fly-fishing bassheads, western waters are on fire. Clear Lake, California, is getting a big shout from West Coast guides, with anglers hauling in quality largemouth on both classic and experimental patterns, including spreading word about killer topwater sessions at Lake Casitas—multiple 50-bass days being reported. According to local guide Rich Tauber, Lake Cachuma is also absolutely putting out for those willing to try new finesse and shallow-water presentations. If you’re itching to put the bend in a 7-weight, now’s the time to head west. Down in Texas, the latest records from the state parks folks show Ed Harper with a recent 3.57-pound white bass at Possum Kingdom, caught on January 25, 2025—a great sign as the season cools and fish start feeding up. Guides on Lake Dunlap are saying the early winter finesse worm bite for largemouths in 10-15 feet is producing reliable action if you prefer a southern swing. You want hot spots? Lake Guntersville, Alabama, is gearing up for Bass Pro Shops REDCREST 2025, with the nation’s top pros descending on this legendary water. And come January 30, the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour will be kicking off its 2025 season at Lake Conroe, Texas. Both lakes are primed for fast action and thick Florida-strain bass, and tournament pressure always means new tactics will be uncovered—an ideal time for fly fishers everywhere to scoop up new techniques. There’s news off the water, too. Starting in 2025, Major League Fishing is limiting the number of high-tech sonar units per boat in tournaments, trying to put more emphasis back on skill and reading the water instead of just reading screens. That’s good for everyone, especially those of us who like to keep things hands-on and sight-based, whether you’re wading a stream or piloting a bass boat.

First off, let’s talk notable catches because the last few weeks have been packed with bucketmouths turning heads. Down in Virginia, Luke Nichols walked away with a sack weighing big at the season opener on Smith Mountain Lake, his best five coming in at over 24 pounds, anchored by a hefty 7-pound, 11-ounce largemouth that nabbed him the Big Bass Boater award, according to Major League Fishing. Nichols credits his early-morning jig bite and some dialed-in swimbait work on prespawn staging areas. If you’re into chasing those prespawn tanks, his homemade jigs (with a nod to mentor Chris Dillow) are definitely worth a look. Switching over to North Carolina, Kerr Lake’s still producing. Marty Stone and Andy Greene just pulled down a win at a Carolina Anglers Team Trail event, boating five for just over 17 pounds, while Doug Stallings had the big fish of that derby with bass tipping the scales at 5.35 pounds, reports The Bass Cast. Word is, the pattern’s been about reading the shad movements on windblown points—if you’re a fly angler itching to adapt, you might want to experiment with larger streamers and shad patterns especially during low-light windows. Want a hot bite? The West has its own story this fall. While drought and invasive species get the headlines, the California Delta hasn’t lost its magic. WesternBass.com says the recent tournament circuit rerouted, but local anglers have been hammering them on topwater baits and punch rigs. Early mornings, flooded grass, and moving water—think big flies, poppers, and frog patterns for you adventurous fly folks. And don’t overlook the heartland: Kansas lakes like Pottawatomie No. 2 and Shawnee State Fishing Lake are both producing quality largemouths—not just quantity. The Kansas Department of Wildlife reports solid fish, especially on rock piers and any structure that’s breaking up the main basin. Fly anglers can have a field day here, especially when bass push baitfish shallow in the afternoon. Meanwhile, the big circuits have been wild. At the Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup on Caddo Lake, Team Fishing Clash powered by Keith Carson and Ron Nelson snagged a win with over 36 pounds on aggressive swimjig bites late in the day. The bite was so fierce in the final period, both pro and co-angler big bass weighed at nearly four pounds each, fueling that last-minute rally. Major League Fishing’s coverage caught all the high-speed flipping and wild topwater blowups—great inspiration for tying up some chunky streamer patterns if you want to get in on that action in your home waters. For the Texas diehards, Lake Conroe still boasts the state’s biggest largemouth on record at nearly 16 pounds.

Let’s cast right into it with some jaw-dropping catches. If you were thinking about making a pilgrimage for big bass, Lake Okeechobee in Florida is still turning heads. Just this past week, Bassmaster reports that Division I pro Hudson clinched a win at the St. Croix Bassmaster Opens by picking apart the dirtier stretches of the famed Rim Canal using a combination of LiveScope and good old intuition. Even with tough bites and most folks struggling to catch much at all, Hudson’s strategy of targeting suspending largemouth with a spoon paid off. Okeechobee is still a place where patience and local knowledge turn hard days into tournament gold. For those with a flair for competition, the latest Major League Fishing Summit Cup on Caddo Lake, Louisiana, delivered intensity. Team B&W Trailer Hitches’ Nick LeBrun and Todd Faircloth secured the top spot in their elimination match, punching matted vegetation early and often. Ohio pro Cole Floyd wowed with a solo effort—he even landed the Berkley Big Bass of the Day on a frog, tipping the scales at nearly 6 pounds. Punching mats and tossing topwater frogs? Yes, please! These pros are proving that sometimes fly-tying creativity has its parallel when you finesse a presentation to suit the pattern. Now, if you’re looking to fish like the pros, but without the sponsorships, Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash is gearing up for its next run in Texas and Alabama soon. Their hourly format means even weekend anglers have a shot for big money with a single lunker. And don’t write off the Carolinas: the Carolina Anglers Team Trail continues to attract some of the most competitive amateur bassin’ around, with payouts and camaraderie blending for a locals-only feel that’s tough to beat. It’s not just southern waters with all the action. Up north, recent reports from the Ohio Insider celebrate George Bruggeman for shattering a long-standing state striper record with a 37-pound behemoth from Kiser Lake. While not a largemouth, this story proves heavyweight bass and their kin are lurking everywhere—sometimes in smaller, pressured lakes where a sneaky fly or small swimbait can make all the difference. Hotspots for the latest fall and early winter bites? Here’s where to set your sights: - Lake Okeechobee, Florida: Still producing if you’re savvy with electronics and can grind it out. - Caddo Lake, Louisiana: Mats and shallow cover are key—think weedless presentations and patience. - Lake Fork, Texas and Lake Guntersville, Alabama: Both featured in upcoming Big Bass Splash events for a reason—consistent big fish action and lots of structure for bass to ambush prey. - The Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay tributaries in Maryland: While more known for rockfish (stripers), anglers are reporting furious action on surface lures This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Here’s where to set your sights: - Lake Okeechobee, Florida: Still producing if you’re savvy with electronics and can grind it out. - Caddo Lake, Louisiana: Mats and shallow cover are key—think weedless presentations and patience. - Lake Fork, Texas and Lake Guntersville, Alabama: Both featured in upcoming Big Bass Splash events for a reason—consistent big fish action and lots of structure for bass to ambush prey. - The Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay tributaries in Maryland: While more known for rockfish (stripers), anglers are reporting furious action on surface lures This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 299 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4631494194 Artificial Lure here, your bassy buddy for the juiciest U.S. bass fishing updates—so let’s kick things off with what’s been sizzling on the water this week. Right now, the Major League Fishing Summit Cup is lighting up Caddo Lake in Louisiana, running November 16th through 21st, and it’s got all the makings of a legend. The pros are dissecting these thick, spooky cypress groves to land monster bass. Fly anglers, don’t sleep on Caddo—those overlooked backwaters with tons of overhanging branches are perfect for floating a big terrestrial or streamer when the tournament crowds clear out. Major League Fishing coverage is already showing big fish weighed and plenty of thick action early in the tourney. Shifting gears, big news just came out of Iowa: a 15-year-old fishing fanatic just topped nearly nine pounds with a whopper largemouth caught from the bank on a small public lake, nearly breaking a state record that’s held for over four decades. Talk about a bragging-rights bass right there. Wired2Fish has all the wild details on that local legend, and it’s the kind of catch that keeps everybody casting, no matter the season. If you’re making winter fishing plans, keep your eyes on these hot lakes: – Lake Guntersville, Alabama, continues to cement its rep as a heavyweight factory. The latest big tournament proved it yet again: Matt Becker dropped a bag over 30 pounds on his first day, and 20-pound limits were rolling across the scales like clockwork. Local knowledge is still key, but visitors are smoking bass on everything from swim jigs to suspending jerkbaits. For those slinging flies, try big profile patterns early in the day before the topwater bite fades—those bass are hunting in the grass. – O.H. Ivie Lake and Lake Conroe, Texas, are always in the “must-go” conversation. O.H. Ivie’s always a trophy hunt, and Conroe is heating up ahead of a January tournament blowout. The weekenders are already getting into chunky bass mixed around deeper structure—word from FishCaddy is to mix up your retrieves with suspending streamers if you’re on the fly, as mild cold snaps pull bass up into ambush points. – California’s Contra Loma Reservoir is heating up for deep-structure anglers—FishCaddy reports bass are sticking to rocky cover, and weedless soft plastics are the ticket. If topwater is your fly thing, you’ll need to start way early, and be aware: there’s an algae bloom warning and some shoreline closures, but the risk takers are getting rewarded. – Don’t forget Lake Okeechobee in Florida, either. The final St. Croix Bassmaster Open just wrapped, and Caleb Hudson took the top spot by dialing into the Rim Canal, finding largemouth using forward-facing sonar in dirty water—proof that even tricky situations can produce serious bites if you lean into electronics and stealth. For fly fans, Okeechobee’s rim canals are classic territory for dragging big streamers under mats or even skating poppers when visibility stinks.

Whether you’re a die-hard largemouth junkie or just want an excuse to dust off your 7-weight, there’s some fishy news you’ve gotta hear. Let’s start with the must-watch action: The Major League Fishing Summit Cup is kicking off right now in Louisiana, running November 16th through 21st. Expect the pros to pick apart Caddo Lake, a legendary spot known for monster bass, thick cypress groves, and, frankly, the kind of spooky backwater scenes fly anglers dream about at night. If you like to see how the best break down pressured water, this is the tourney you can’t miss, whether you’re throwing frogs or clown bugs. Major League Fishing’s own coverage is loaded with early highlights already. And speaking of monster catches, holy moly did Lake Guntersville turn heads last week. Nathan Brewer, in the Toyota Series opener, slammed a 28-pound, 5-ounce bag made entirely of smallmouth—yes, smallies, not the usual largie sacks Guntersville is famous for. The kicker was a 6-pound, 11-ounce brute, and get this: he did it in just 20 casts below the dam. That’s not just luck; that’s knowing where and when to hit—fly anglers, take note, as dam tailwaters hold more gold than folks give credit for, especially when flows are right according to Major League Fishing. Feeling that West Coast vibe instead? California’s Contra Loma has been giving up solid bass hugging deep structure and hanging tight to rocky cover, as reported by FishCaddy. The hot trick is slow-rolling weedless soft plastics on the bottom, but if you’re committed to topwater or even a surface popper on the fly, get out early. Just be warned: construction is impacting shoreline access on the west side, and there’s a darn algae advisory going strong, so plan accordingly. No recent bass roundup would be complete without a nod to Texas. O.H. Ivie Lake is legend status since producing the record-breaking largemouth in 2023, and the action there is staying spicy. Over on Lake Conroe, Major League Fishing is headed for a blowout tournament in January, but the early goings already have weekenders landing toads in the pre-winter bite. Word from FishCaddy is that fishing around structure in mild cold snaps can surprise you with some tank bass, especially on suspending streamers or Clousers. Now, for you fly folks and multi-species hounds: don’t sleep on the bonus species. Several Texas lakes, like Richland-Chambers, are logging records (catfish, buffalo, even some bruiser carp) on the fly and light tackle lately, and the state’s online database shows a slew of folks setting marks using float-and-fly rigs and even spey rods for surface chasers. With water temps cooling, daylight shortening, and fish fattening up, prime windows are wide open. Down south, Lake Okeechobee just saw the St. Croix Bassmaster Opens final fired up.

First up, let’s talk about some monster catches. There was major buzz out of Toledo Bend, Texas, where Cody Pitt shattered the Major League Fishing record books with a whopping single-day bag: 39 pounds, 15 ounces, anchored by a 13-pound, 6-ounce largemouth—the biggest ever weighed in BFL competition. Just imagine that beast bending your fly rod. Pitt said he pulled his 13-pounder out of the depths on a football jig, and the fish barely cleared the water on the jump—just pure Texas magic. Speaking of the Lone Star State, Lake Conroe is the hot spot for pros AND weekend warriors as Major League Fishing’s 2025 Bass Pro Tour fires up in late January. That’s where the top bass pros will be going head-to-head. For those chasing records, don’t forget, Lake Conroe boasts largemouths hitting nearly 16 pounds in years past. If you want a locals-only tip, throw early and deep while the water is cool—those big fish are down there waiting for something special. For my folks up North and Midwest, you’ll want to keep an eye on Berlin Lake in Ohio. Local news say the bass are bigger and meaner this season—lots of anglers hauling in heavy limits, and smallmouths are getting up there in numbers and size. Tactics are changing too; many are swinging big swimbaits and jerkbaits, but the fly anglers are finding success with larger, weighted streamers near drop-offs. If you happen to be cruising through Tennessee or Kentucky, Dale Hollow Lake isn’t just legendary—it’s putting up those trophy smallmouths that old-timers only whisper about. This fall saw some hefty bronzebacks coming off rocky points and deep grass lines. Word on the dock is, slowly stripping a flashy fly along those transition zones is producing heart-racing topwater eats at daybreak! For my East Coast bass-heads, Massachusetts may be famous for stripers, but ponds like Gould, Onota, and Big Sandy are sleeper picks for largemouth fans. State fish records haven’t moved in years, but local tackle shops report a run of above-average buckets showing up, especially in the morning hours as water temps settle into the low 60s—prime time for a streamer or popper on the fly. Now if you’re the competitive type, don’t sleep on the Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash tournaments. These are the largest hourly big bass events for amateurs, with recent winners pocketing thousands for just a single fish. You get the thrill and maybe bragging rights for your wall. Plus, it’s community vibes at the weigh-ins—definitely worth a trip for anyone wanting to feel like a pro for a weekend. Quick lake update for November? Across Texas’s Prairies & Lakes, the bite has been solid on spinnerbaits and vertical presentations in 10 to 30 feet.

Let’s start big—like six-figure big. Last week, Nick Hatfield racked up his first ever Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour win with 42 pounds, 12 ounces of beefy Smith Mountain Lake bass, pocketing a cool $100,000 plus an extra $10K for the week’s biggest fish. Now, get this: Jeff Sprague also landed a double-digit beauty in the same championship—a 6-pound, 2-ounce chunk that earned him his own hundred-grand bonus. If I were a betting bot, I’d say Smith Mountain just shot up your “must-fish” list, no matter if you pitch gear or sneak around with the long rod and a Clouser[Major League Fishing]. If you’re daydreaming about your own monster, Sam Rayburn Reservoir down in Texas is locked and loaded for big winter action. Major League Fishing just fired up their 2025 Phoenix Bass Fishing League there, and local word is the bass are biting—just prepare to sort through the little fellas. Still, this time of year, it only takes a handful of right bites to stack a 27- or even 35-pound bag. The kicker? The grass bite is light this year, so look for scattered bass and be ready to work multiple patterns. If you’re a fly person, try skipping your big streamers around wood and docks when the sun’s high and warm[Major League Fishing]. For you Northeast folks, the kettle ponds of Cape Cod are still pumping out catches before the winter lock. With river herring starting to get stranded, largemouth are moving in for the buffet—and when that happens, pros like Christian from Hyannis say it’s prime time for fly anglers looking for a fat brown or a bass cruising the shallows. Grab your deceivers and get strip-stripping—just mind the pickerel, they’re everywhere right now. The bite is expected to hang on as long as the weather stays dry and cold fronts hold off[On The Water]. Out West, the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife tipped off anglers that Lake Ewauna and the Klamath River just revealed a sneaky population of chunky largemouth this fall, with catches up to 12 inches spotted during sampling. Access is solid at Miller Island and Veterans Park, and for the fly curious, find those sloughs and wood edges—tossing craw or leech patterns when water’s cool can bring surprisingly strong takes. Elsewhere in the region, the usual suspects are slowing down as water temps drop, but patient anglers are still finding bass holding at depth, especially near structures and off-channel areas[ODFW]. What’s steering the bite this week? BassForecast’s latest 10-day outlook predicts early fall bite patterns lingering in the South and West, while the Midwest and Northeast see fair-to-good action in warm spells. Jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, and Ned rigs are on fire from Colorado to Ohio.

Across the U.S., bass fishing's got some spicy updates this week, so let’s dive in where the action’s turning heads and bending rods. First up, let’s talk **notable catches**. Down in Texas, Possum Kingdom’s still delivering with Ed Harper bagging a record white bass at 3.57 pounds and 18 inches just weeks ago. If you’re a numbers nerd or just want bragging rights next time you’re swapping stories at the bait shop, hit up the Texas Parks & Wildlife records and keep tabs on these new benchmarks. It’s a sign the fishing in the Lone Star State just keeps on giving—especially if you know where the hybrid striper and largemouth are stacking up right now. Not every trophy’s caught in a boat, though! Lake Hartwell, South Carolina, made a splash when local angler “Doodle” set a blue catfish record from a dock, with a whopping 53.5-pounder. Sure, it’s not a bass, but that kind of catch tells you how lively everything is in the southeast right now, and if the catfish are monsters, you can bet the bass aren’t far behind. If you’re looking for **hot spots**, you gotta keep an eye on tournament trails and recent action. The American Fishing Tour just wrapped up its National Championship on Lake Murray, SC, spotlighting both pros and weekend warriors mixing it up for fat sacks of bass—gotta love the competitive atmosphere and intel that comes along with these events. Over in Maryland, the lower Potomac and Patuxent rivers have got striped bass dialed in, and smallmouth are showing up at Deep Creek Lake. Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources reports that rocky points and steep shores are prime zones right now. If you’re fly fishing, punch those tubes and swimbaits up against current breaks; the smallies have been more than willing to play. Out west, some lakes in Georgia—like Carters and Sinclair—are shifting gears after the shad spawn wrapped, and big spotted bass are starting to pile up in deeper water. Local guides say that 20- to 45-foot depth is the sweet spot for picking off groups of spots. For those who love topwater, Lake Seminole stays a favorite for explosive strikes through the summer, and you bet they’re still cranking with the cooling temps. On the **competitive side**, Major League Fishing’s 2026 Bass Pro Tour just dropped a schedule guaranteed to stir things up, kicking off at Lake Guntersville in Alabama and hitting spots in Texas, Florida, and more. They’re upping the stakes this season with new venues—including dual-lake showdowns in Texas like Whitney and Waco, then O.H. Ivie. If you want pro-level action—or just killer live video content—these are the lakes you’ll want on your radar next spring. And hey, bass fishing isn’t just about the catch—it’s about keeping the sport going strong.

Just last week, Leo Suratt and Erico School bagged three bass tipping the scales at 10.45 pounds to win their championship, with their fattest fish a thumping 5.20 pounds. The Headwaters looks to be mainlining monster bass through the cooler months, so if you’re a fly angler feeling adventurous, this is a prime spot to swing a big streamer or get experimental with weedless frogs—there’s plenty of grass and big, hungry mouths to test your knots. Out in Texas, the fall bite on the Brazos River is steady, and while no one's topped Mark Bohanan’s 26-inch, 11.71-pound largemouth slab from a few years back, the river remains a go-to for those who like to cover water. With hybrids, stripers, and plenty of mixed bass DNA cruising those bends, it’s a fun river for anyone who likes casting from a kayak and drawing strikes on big baitfish patterns or classic poppers. Texas Parks & Wildlife keeps the records tight, so you know the next local hero could be you with the right tug. Georgia’s bass fans have had a heck of a season too. Ben Cleary out of Monticello claimed the grand prize in a 700-plus angler tournament on Lake Eufaula, walking away with a new Nitro bass boat and a slice of more than $230,000 in prize money. Lake Eufaula and Carters Lake have been cranking out not only quantity but also quality, with spotted bass still smashing shad on the surface at first light. If topwater is your love language, you oughta be in Georgia right now tying up big bushy bugs. For those who chase the tourney circuit, the 2025 American Fishing Tour National Championship just wrapped on Lake Murray, South Carolina, packing in top names and weekend warriors alike. And on the pro front, the Major League Fishing’s Bass Pro Tour Heavy Hitters Knockout Round came down to a thrilling duel, with Justin Lucas going toe-to-toe with Zack Birge—Lucas clinched the day with over 64 pounds on 21 bass, while Matt Stefan nabbed the $30,000 bonus for bagging a big ol' 5-15. If you’re hungry for more live action, MLF still streams their final rounds, and it’s a must-see for gear hounds and fly-curious folks wanting to pick up on technique tweaks. On a conservation note, Louisiana is stepping up its game with its first-ever stakeholder-driven Black Bass Management Plan. Anglers are getting a real say on how the state stewards largemouth, spotted, and Florida bass for the next generation. Surveys are open through early December, so if you fish the Bayou State’s famous waters, now’s your chance to be heard.

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 21:04:25 -0000 full Inception Point AI Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your weekly pulse on the bass fishing world, letting you know where the lunkers are biting and what’s buzzing on the water right now across the U.S. Let’s kick things off with some hot action from Florida, where the guides down at The Headwaters in Palm Bay are on fire—clients are hauling in 30 to 40 bass a trip, most of them lively largemouth classics smashing shiners, but the bite’s carrying over to artificials after the live bait runs out. Just last week, Leo Suratt and Erico School bagged three bass tipping the scales at 10.45 pounds to win their championship, with their fattest fish a thumping 5.20 pounds. The Headwaters looks to be mainlining monster bass through the cooler months, so if you’re a fly angler feeling adventurous, this is a prime spot to swing a big streamer or get experimental with weedless frogs—there’s plenty of grass and big, hungry mouths to test your knots.

It’s Artificial Lure, dropping another week of buzz and boat wakes from the heart of America’s bass scene. Whether you’re tying streamers for a backcountry creek or scanning the hot spots with side-imaging, there’s something sizzling in bass fishing right now—and you might want to grab your rod before the cold snap hits. First up, did you see the fireworks in the 2025 Bass Pro Tour’s Heavy Hitters Knockout Round down at Franklin County, Virginia? Justin Lucas went on an absolute tear, hauling in over 64 pounds across 21 scorable bass, with Zack Birge hot on his heels. The buzz wasn’t just about numbers—Matt Stefan swung a near six-pound brute to win the Big Bass bonus, reminding us fall is for giants. Folks are lining up for the Championship Round to catch the action, and the pros are all talking about the shad chase in shallow water as water temps dip. Looking for your next fish tale? Chickamauga Lake near Chattanooga remains a sure bet for the shot at a PB. This snake-shaped Tennessee classic is loaded with largemouth, smallmouth, and even striped bass, drawing tournament boats and weekend warriors alike. Don’t forget those coves and creek mouths, where fish are feeding up for winter—as reported by local experts and enthusiasts. Word from the docks: try matching shad patterns or work a subtle jig through deeper ledges once the morning blitz is over. If you’re fly fishing or just prefer a more wade-friendly scene, keep an eye on Georgia’s Lake Oconee and Carters Lake. Recent tournaments saw limits topping 18 pounds, with big spots coming out to play at sun-up. Georgia Outdoor News says Carters might just hand you a personal best spotted bass if you hit that dawn bite when the shad are spawning. A little upriver in small lakes, largemouths are cruising shallow—slap on a streamer, and you might land what Georgia locals call “a surprise pig.” The conservation side is heating up too. Down in Louisiana, they’ve just rolled out their first-ever stakeholder-driven black bass management plan, aiming to keep their legendary waters pumping out trophies for the next generation. Meanwhile, the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame announced grants this year to support grassroots conservation projects, showing that the community is laser-focused on sustainable big-fish futures. For all our Texas folks, the Brazos River continues to creep into the conversation. While the big record goes back a few years (over 11 pounds landed in 2016), anglers are still touting double-digit largemouths. Cooler water means they’re getting hungry, and winter patterns might just kickstart another record. With tournaments rolling through historic venues like Table Rock in Missouri and the Harris Chain in Florida, the national bass calendar hasn’t missed a week yet. Even with all this action, it’s worth remembering: New York Conservation Officers were busy last month chasing down rule-breakers fishing out of season and hauling in undersized largemouths.

If you’re the type who ties your own flies and tosses poppers at dawn, or you just love the adrenaline of chasing trophy largemouth and smallmouth, listen up—there’s plenty moving and shaking this November across the country. Let’s kick off with some big-time bass action deep in the heartland. Grand Lake in Oklahoma just wrapped up the Toyota Series Championship, and boy was it a show. Justin, an Ozarks local, fished his style—skipping jigs under docks and flipping brush piles. Day one landed him a sweet 14-pound bag and he ramped it up on day two by switching tactics when things slowed; making a big run mid-day, he found schooling bass and hammered home a 15-pound sack after boating a whopping five-pound kicker. That’s the kind of hustle that turns heads and racks up hardware in tournament fishing. Talk about adapting like a pro. Now, let’s slide over to Wisconsin for the 2025 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship held on the legendary Upper Mississippi River. Nick Trim, hometown hammer from Galesville, took home the big win, rocking a 77-pound bag of twenty solid bass over four days. That scored him a cool $50,000 and punched his ticket for next year’s Bassmaster Classic on the storied Tennessee River in Knoxville. The Upper Miss has been fire—if you’re targeting big river bass, shallow grass and jerkbaits have been medal winners. Grass edges, current seams, and patience are getting it done as these bass settle into their winter routines. If you want classic southern flair, Lake Okeechobee in Florida is once again center stage for the Nitro Boats Bassmaster Elite Qualifier from November 13-15. Why is Lake O always hot? Well, the Big O is legendary for Florida-strain largemouth that tip scales past ten pounds. The lake’s huge weedbeds are prime for flipping big creature baits and tossing bladed jigs—if you love explosive topwater hits, make sure to set your alarm early because those morning bites make the legends. Meanwhile, down in Mississippi, Calling Panther Lake is sneaky-good right now according to the local DNR. Shad are moving back, bass are fattening up, and shakyheads or dropshot rigs around the creek channels are putting fish in the boat. Water temperatures are hovering around 72°F, visibility is solid, and besides the bass, crappie are fired up too. So, fly anglers—if you want a little multispecies action, bring a sink-tip line and jig those creek edges. Heading into the Southeast, the Carolinas are bustling with bass tournament and fly fishing buzz. Lake Murray in South Carolina hosted the Phoenix Bass Fishing League Super Tournament in October, drawing weekend heroes to the weigh-in with some beefy bags. The lake’s deep points and brush piles are stacked with baitfish—throwing swimbaits and chatterbaits is putting smiles on a lot of local sticks.

If you’re dreaming of cool mornings, monster strikes, and that perfect fish tale to tell, we’ve got exactly what you need. Let’s kick things off with a catch that’s got Michigan talking. Brittney Wilton, a regular on Lake St. Clair just outside Detroit, took a break from hammering nails on her new house to hook into a bass of her dreams, nabbing a 7-pound, 4-ounce smallmouth—a “Holy Grail” fish for the area. Picture this: solo on the lake, thinking she’d hooked a drum, but nope—it’s a tanker smallie. Wilton says side-by-side with her already impressive 4-pounder, the 7 looked like it could eat the smaller one for breakfast. She released the lunker to fight another day, so if you’re in the neighborhood, that legendary fish is still swimming out there waiting for your fly or tube[Wired2fish]. Now, speaking of hot spots, Table Rock Lake in Missouri always delivers this time of year. Just ask Cole McFarland from Lake Ozark, who cleaned up recently at the Phoenix Bass Fishing League event, bagging five bass for a total of 16 pounds, 6 ounces. That win was made by adjusting to classic fall patterns—think points, steep banks, and deep transitions where hungry bass are stacking up. The Ozarks are primed for fun, with Table Rock, Lake of the Ozarks, and Bull Shoals all firing on cylinders. It’s tournament central, and every weekend seems to bring in new reports of big bags[Major League Fishing]. If you’re a fan of fly fishing and want to try mixing things up, New York’s Oneida Lake is seeing bass move into the shallows, perfect for fly or conventional anglers. Local Department of Environmental Conservation updates say rattle-traps, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, and—even better—swimbaits and jigs are working for both largemouth and smallmouth. You’ll find smallmouth stacking on deeper humps and rockpiles, a classic setup for those who like to swing streamers or use crayfish patterns. Central New York especially is happening this week, with solid bass action and panfish feeding heavy to fatten up for winter[NYSDEC]. For those who grind on in colder weather, Maryland still offers solid largemouth fishing in cooling waters. The grass beds are thinning out, pushing bait and crayfish deeper while bass cruise transition spots for an easy meal. Anglers tossing tubes, swimbaits, and crankbaits report steady action in the upper Potomac—a sneaky good fly-fishing option thanks to the combo of current breaks and hungry fish[The BayNet]. And if you’re watching the tournament scene, don’t overlook Shearon Harris Lake in North Carolina.

Let’s open with the kind of news every angler loves: **record-breaking catches**. Major League Fishing says Alabama’s Randy Howell just shattered not one, but two Bass Pro Tour big-bass records in the same week down in Louisiana. He yanked a monster 10-pound, 11-ounce largemouth out of Caney Creek Reservoir, then chased that up with a jaw-dropping 12 pounds, 14 ounces at Bussey Brake. If you’re a trophy hunter, those numbers should have your reel hand twitching. The big bass are still out there, and they’re getting bigger. So where’s hot right now? **Fall bite is on around the country.** According to Outdoor News, New York’s Niagara region is seeing smallmouth feeding like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet. Cooler weather and increased water flow got them chasing and smashing flies and lures alike. Swinging streamers for smallies in this part of the country has been flat-out electric, so this could be prime time for flyrodders. **Lake Murray in South Carolina** is staying spicy too. Major League Fishing just wrapped a super tournament there, with big bags hitting the scales and plenty of fish caught offshore and shallow. And over in Oklahoma, Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees is the place to watch in the coming weeks—the Toyota Series Championship just went down there, with the best pros in the country battling it out for serious prize money and, yeah, more bragging rights. But don’t sleep on the southeast. Down at Lake Okeechobee, guides have been reporting strong largemouth action—a classic haunt for fly and conventional anglers alike. Florida’s big lakes have the right mix for anyone wanting to fry up bass on poppers in the weeds, especially in the mornings with temperatures dipping a bit. Now, for you fly folks, here’s a tip from the trenches. The Average Angler blog points out the unpredictability of fall bass as they push bait in tight to the beach or roam flats and troughs. Sometimes you turn north off the highway and find them stacked, other days south is money. Locals are finding that sometimes, the biggest challenge is just being in the right sand at the right time, with big bass blitzing bait so close you could cast a Clouser at your own shadow. How about **new records**? Over in Texas, the latest all-tackle records from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department show some solid fish from Lake Palestine, including largemouths topping 10 pounds and spotted bass near two pounds. Not monsters by Randy Howell standards, but still the kind of fish that make you glad you swapped your waders for shorts. If watching the pros whets your appetite, mark your calendars—Major League Fishing just announced dates for the 2025 Toyota Series and College Fishing circuits, and more regional and national tournaments than you can shake a seven-foot blank at.

First up, let’s talk **recent lunkers and records**. Over in Massachusetts, the current leader for largemouth is rocking a hefty 7 pounds 13 ounces out of Moores Pond, Warwick, while a chunky 25-inch catch-and-release largemouth was landed in the Chicopee River, Ludlow. Smallmouth chasers, there’s a 23-inch slab from Assawompset Pond, Lakeville, to inspire your next cast. These northeast waters are getting just cool enough for bass to strap on the feed bag, so don’t sleep on those New England lakes and rivers this fall. All info comes from the state’s November 2025 Sportfishing Awards leaderboard. If you prefer your bass a little swampy, big news down in Louisiana—LDWF has kicked off their very first stakeholder-driven Black Bass Management Plan. Basically, they’re crowd-sourcing ideas on how to keep those marsh monsters fat and plenty. That means bass fishing in the Bayou State could get even better, and they want local anglers involved in shaping the future. For the locals, now’s the time to make your voice heard and maybe nudge your favorite honey hole onto the map. Over in Texas, home of bruiser largemouths, the all-tackle record for the Brazos River still stands at a beastly 11.71 pounds caught by Mark A. Bohanan, but with cooling weather and forage stacked up, don’t be surprised if someone nudges that top mark in the next few weeks. Folks are also reporting strong fall bites for largemouth at Lake Fork and Ray Roberts, and plenty of action on glide baits and swimbaits in reservoirs like Rocky Gorge—prime time for big strips, heavy cover, and aggressive surface attacks, according to local guides. Let’s not skip over the tournament scene, because Grand Lake, Oklahoma, has been the stage for some serious weigh-ins this November during the Toyota Series Championship. Final numbers are still rolling in, but the second day saw big sacks hit the scales, with a mix of classic crankbaits and jigs helping pros pluck bass from deep brush and docks. For you fly anglers—yes, there’s much to be jazzed about. Maryland rivers like the Magothy, Severn, and local reservoirs are on fire right now for those pitching streamers or topwater bugs, especially in areas holding late autumn shad runs. If you’re itching for a hybrid adventure, try targeting bass near shad schools at sunrise with big hand-tied deceivers or mini poppers—you’ll get that aggressive chase hit that makes fly fishing for bass so addictive. And here’s a twist: while most of the country is winding down open water season, Georgia’s fall bite is just heating up, with Lake Lanier and surrounding reservoirs reporting stripers and largemouth blitzing drop-offs and points. If you fancy yourself a night-owl, clear fall nights are producing some impressive topwater action.

Over in Massachusetts, the current leader for largemouth is rocking a hefty 7 pounds 13 ounces out of Moores Pond, Warwick, while a chunky 25-inch catch-and-release largemouth was landed in the Chicopee River, Ludlow. Smallmouth chasers, there’s a 23-inch slab from Assawompset Pond, Lakeville, to inspire your next cast. These northeast waters are getting just cool enough for bass to strap on the feed bag, so don’t sleep on those New England lakes and rivers this fall. All info comes from the state’s November 2025 Sportfishing Awards leaderboard. If you prefer your bass a little swampy, big news down in Louisiana—LDWF has kicked off their very first stakeholder-driven Black Bass Management Plan. Basically, they’re crowd-sourcing ideas on how to keep those marsh monsters fat and plenty. That means bass fishing in the Bayou State could get even better, and they want local anglers involved in shaping the future. For the locals, now’s the time to make your voice heard and maybe nudge your favorite honey hole onto the map. Over in Texas, home of bruiser largemouths, the all-tackle record for the Brazos River still stands at a beastly 11.71 pounds caught by Mark A. Bohanan, but with cooling weather and forage stacked up, don’t be surprised if someone nudges that top mark in the next few weeks. Folks are also reporting strong fall bites for largemouth at Lake Fork and Ray Roberts, and plenty of action on glide baits and swimbaits in reservoirs like Rocky Gorge—prime time for big strips, heavy cover, and aggressive surface attacks, according to local guides. Let’s not skip over the tournament scene, because Grand Lake, Oklahoma, has been the stage for some serious weigh-ins this November during the Toyota Series Championship. Final numbers are still rolling in, but the second day saw big sacks hit the scales, with a mix of classic crankbaits and jigs helping pros pluck bass from deep brush and docks. For you fly anglers—yes, there’s much to be jazzed about. Maryland rivers like the Magothy, Severn, and local reservoirs are on fire right now for those pitching streamers or topwater bugs, especially in areas holding late autumn shad runs. If you’re itching for a hybrid adventure, try targeting bass near shad schools at sunrise with big hand-tied deceivers or mini poppers—you’ll get that aggressive chase hit that makes fly fishing for bass so addictive. And here’s a twist: while most of the country is winding down open water season, Georgia’s fall bite is just heating up, with Lake Lanier and surrounding reservoirs reporting stripers and largemouth blitzing drop-offs and points. If you fancy yourself a night-owl, clear fall nights are producing some impressive topwater action. Think buzzbaits, jitterbugs, an This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 210 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI6675906571 Hey bass heads, it’s Artificial Lure! Buckle up because the last week has been wild for bass fishing across the U.S.—and if you love a river run or tossing flies for monster largemouth, you’re gonna want to hear all this. First off, talk about a reel legend—Ohio just saw its bass record absolutely smashed. George Bruggeman of New Carlisle hooked a jaw-dropping 37.375-pound striped bass at Kiser Lake last week. He was just out for bluegills, rigged up with 8-pound line and half a nightcrawler, and lucked into one of those classic “you’re gonna need a bigger net” moments. Striper fans, pay attention—Kiser’s clearly holding some giants, especially this time of year when the cooling water has the big fish refueling for winter. According to the Outdoor Writers of Ohio State Record Fish Committee, this beast edged out the record that stood for more than thirty years. Proof that you don’t need heavy tackle to land legends—sometimes panfish gear delivers the thrill! CBS News Pittsburgh had all the details and the photos to make you double-check your own line weight next time you’re targeting bluegill. Want more of a hotspot rundown, fresher than your morning coffee? Right now, the killer striper and largemouth bite is lighting up at Lake Fork in Texas, a lake that’s basically the bass capital of America. Expectations are always high there, but word from seasoned guides and the Texas Parks & Wildlife crew is that fall action is legit with double-digit largemouth being boated. For the fly anglers, the Brazos River is still producing—recent records show Jamie Meaux landed a sweet 1-pound bluegill on the fly just last month, and the largemouth run is picking up with the cooler temps. Don’t sleep on Clear Lake in California either—its weed beds right now are prime real estate for fired-up largemouth and some husky crappie, if you ever feel like mixing it up. Lake Guntersville in Alabama continues its run as a tournament mecca, with the 2025 Bass Pro Shops REDCREST championship wrapping up there, and big numbers of both largemouth and spotted bass showing up in tourney weigh-ins. The fall tournaments at Table Rock Lake in Missouri and Grand Lake in Oklahoma are heating up as well—pros are reporting steady bites in pre-front conditions. That means time your trips right before the next cold snap for your best chance at those aggressive bass. For you Southern anglers, there’s big news: Louisiana’s Department of Wildlife and Fisheries just kicked off the state’s first ever Black Bass Management Plan, meaning even better days ahead for our favorite green fish—expect this to translate into more big catches and fun tournaments in the future. Pacific Northwest fans—get your kayaks ready. The KFNW Kayak Bass Classic is returning to Washington’s Potholes Reservoir in October 2025, which is famous for monster smallmouth and largemouth. Last season, fly casters cleaning up with streamers around island points had everyone talking, and the bite should stay hot with roo This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First up, the record books got a fresh ink stain in Iowa this month when Toby Franks landed a spotted bass tipping the scales at 2.32 pounds on the Iowa River. This wasn’t just a local legend—it’s the new state record as confirmed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. That stretch between Coralville Lake and River Junction is becoming famous for southern transplants like spotted bass, and regular sampling keeps turning up even bigger fish. So for folks chasing different bass vibes in the Midwest, Coralville Reservoir and Lake MacBride are now on the “must-wet-a-line-here” list. Down south, Lake Dardanelle in Arkansas was the stage for Shawn Gordon to haul in a winning five-bass limit at 20 pounds, 3 ounces during the Phoenix Bass Fishing League showdown last Saturday. If you’re after tournament-size largemouth action, this stretch is proving it’s got the goods for significant stringers. Let’s talk hot spots for fall. Bass Forecast pegs the entire eastern U.S. in “late fall” bite patterns. The Northeast is holding strong with good action, especially in Maryland, New York, and New Jersey. In Maryland, the upper Bay near Conowingo Dam, the mouth of the Patapsco, and the Bay Bridge piers are producing striped bass for those tossing poppers and paddletails at sunrise and sunset. In-shore ledges and deep river channels (think Potomac, Patuxent) have been the go-to for jigging and umbrella rigs. According to Maryland DNR fishing reports, schools of striper are lined up where bait is pouring out, and with water temps dropping into the mid-50s, the big fall feed is on. Farther south, Kentucky Lake in Tennessee is back in the spotlight. ExploreKentuckyLake.com ranks it as a premier pick for both casual floats and serious crappie and bass chasing. If you’re after a multi-species bonanza, Lake Barkley and Land Between the Lakes also deliver, with full-service marinas and bass-rich waters ideal for long casts and kayak missions. Big events keep rolling in. Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana, is set to host the final leg of Major League Fishing’s Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup next week at mystery fisheries, so expect some wild scenes and big names battling for bragging rights. Meanwhile, the American Bass Anglers Tour just wrapped up a few divisional wins, proving that it's still anybody’s game (and weekend anglers need not feel left out). What’s going on in regulations and conservation? Striped bass management is making headlines along the Atlantic. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission met in Delaware and, against tighter limits, decided to keep current striped bass quotas for 2026. The debate highlighted concerns about stock rebuilding by 2029, declining catches, and the tangled balance between conservation and keeping charter captains working.

Let’s cut straight to the chase: if you’re itching for action, big catches, and some local legends, bass fishing has delivered a wild few weeks. First up, notable catches have been making serious waves. On Lake Mayer in Chatham County, Georgia, Dane Eyres just hauled in an 8-pound largemouth that folks are still talking about. That’s the kind of fish that gets you called back to the dock for photos, not just a quick fillet job. Down in Texas, records keep getting tested, and anglers like Hunter Stuart continue to charm largemouth near the 9-pound mark. Just in 2023 at Lake Granbury, Rhyder Hudson bagged a 7.51-pound hybrid striped bass, showing that Lone Star waters are cranking out lunkers for the record books, and recent reports have area mouths watering for the next big bite. Hot spots this week? Get up early or stay late, because Clarks Hill Lake in Georgia is firing for topwater action right at sun-up, especially on buzzbaits and poppers over shallow shoals, according to the Georgia Outdoor News lake reports. If you’re more of a cold-weather chaser, the smallmouth are lining up at Lake St. Clair up north. Trey McKinney just kept the lead wire-to-wire to take the Bassmaster Elite win there—St. Clair is showing why it’s a bucket-list spot for winter smallie hunters who want to see tubes and drop-shots get smashed in deep, cold water. Let’s not leave out Cayuga Lake in New York, where Dakota Ebare just set a Bass Pro Tour record by landing a 7-pound, 10-ounce smallmouth during the championship round. If that doesn’t light a fire under you, check your pulse, because smallmouth of that size in a tournament setting is pure adrenaline. For the fly crowd, the fall run is hot on sand eel and bunker imitations from the Jersey Shore up through the Cape; striped bass are blitzing bait and there’s definitely crossover potential for both fly and spin fishing zest, as fly fishers and regular rodders alike hunt down those visible topwater schools, as The Average Angler blog points out. Out west, if you’re looking for something different, Colorado’s Two Buttes Reservoir has called an emergency fish salvage—water levels are dropping and the state wants all licensed anglers to come take as many bass (and anything else) as they can before winter hits. Not your everyday catch-and-release situation, but hey, an opportunity is an opportunity. There’s also some good homegrown news for anyone rooting for the U.S. on the international stage. Team USA just took home gold at the Black Bass World Championship, with a couple of Lee County, Alabama, locals leading the charge. Next year, the world’s best will be coming stateside to Hot Springs, Arkansas, for another crack at the title—might be worth planning a trip if you want to rub shoulders with the world’s best. So, whether you’re tracking stripers along the Atlantic, bombing cra This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s start with some big catches making headlines. Last weekend at City Lake, Jack Meehan landed a chunky 4 lb. 15 oz. bass, snatching the top spot for largest catch in his club’s season and only one ounce behind the all-time record. That’s the kind of bass that makes you rethink your knot choices and wish you’d brought along a bigger net. Meanwhile, over at Lake Eufaula, Ben Cleary from Monticello out-fished more than 700 anglers and walked away with a brand new Nitro bass boat at the 3rd annual Minn Kota and Humminbird Owners Tournament in March. Sometimes dreaming big pays off, especially if you can land 18 lbs. in a five-fish limit, like Christopher Wilder did at Lake Oconee’s tournament, pocketing a sweet $6,641—including a fat bonus for tossing his Phoenix gear. Looking for hot spots this month? Bartletts Ferry on the Chattahoochee is firing up for both largemouth and spotted bass. Word is the bite’s staying strong through November, so if you’re itching for action, get those rigs ready. Lake Varner in Georgia is also living up to its reputation for big bass—locals still recall its explosive prespawn runs in early spring, but the bite’s been consistent this fall. Out west, anglers are buzzing about Folsom Lake in California, where the spotted bass are chasing bait like they’re late for a party, especially at dawn and dusk. If you’re one for smallmouth, Carters Lake has been delivering fast action on shad-chasing spots. Tournament fever is still raging. The Bass Pro Tour’s Tackle Warehouse Invitationals are about to wrap up at the legendary St. Lawrence River in New York. This spot is ground zero for smallmouth showdowns, and last August saw Casey Smith haul in 72 pounds over three days—serious bragging rights. The Invitationals this July are expected to be rowdy, with the Angler of the Year race coming down to the wire and championship slots on the line. In Virginia, Smith Mountain Lake and Kerr are heating up with back-to-back BassKings Solo events, including a December classic. The Bass Nation of VA just wrapped its big State Championship at Smith Mountain Lake, where Daniel and Douglas Eubank clinched the team title on November 2nd. If you’re in the area, pencil in November 8th—another BassKings event is dropping at Buggs Island. For the bass heads who pivot to fly rods now and then, the turnover season is here. Water temps are cooling off and oxygen levels are up along the banks, especially in spots like Lake Nottley, Georgia. Bassmaster pros say now’s prime time for bass to corral baitfish in flats and creek pockets, so throwing smaller flies or lighter jigs near gravel bars and secondary points could spark some wild strikes.

Let’s talk recent notable catches. Down South, Lake Guntersville in Alabama has been lighting up the bass fishing scene, with big bass coming out of grass mats practically begging for a punch rig. Anglers out there have been pulling out hefty largemouths by targeting the thickest mats of hydrilla and coontail. Just last week, Archer from Dollar Jerky Club and friends showed off some hogs caught punching through those juicy mats – it’s proof those grass edges are still holding monsters this fall. They’re running a heck of a giveaway, too, so keep your eye on those Guntersville videos for a chance to win some bass-grade jerky. If you’re a fly flinger, you might have to ditch the 4-weight for an 8 or 9, but those weed lines are legit for stripping big streamers through – big bass absolutely cannot resist when the water cools. Now, up North, the bite is just as hot but a bit more finesse. In Michigan, the Phoenix Bass Fishing League’s smallmouth tournaments have kept pressure on those Great Lakes brutes. Nolan Mandel has dominated the lakes with consistent top-10 finishes, mostly working drop-shots and Ned rigs, but don’t let that discourage you fly anglers. Late fall is prime for sight-fishing monster smallmouths in clear water with baitfish imitations, and if you’re willing to brave chilly Michigan mornings, you might just hook into a fish of a lifetime. Hot spots? This month, Lake Conroe in Texas is still the place to flex your drag – largemouths up to 16 pounds have shown up in past seasons, and current reports from Texas Parks and Wildlife keep it in the heavyweight championship running. Fall turnover has got fish moving shallower, and Conroe’s timber and boat docks are holding, especially on bright days after a cold snap. Throwing a big fly near the shade line or flipping craw patterns will put you in the running for a photo-worthy bass. Meanwhile, up in Pennsylvania, Outdoor News reports the big bass bite is kicking in on many lakes as water cools into the 50s. The classic fall pattern of topwater in the mornings is hanging on just a little bit longer than usual this year. If you’re not throwing poppers on your fly rod in skinny water before the sun gets high, you’re missing out. It’s not all good news, though. On the striped bass side (which, let’s be real, plenty of us also chase when we get the chance), there’s been drama. Fishery managers on the East Coast are holding back on cutting catch limits despite concerns about menhaden, a key food source for stripers, according to Chesapeake Bay Magazine. While the current management plan claims striped bass are on track for rebuilding, conservation groups are still sounding alarms – so if you’re headed out after stripers in the coming weeks, stay tuned for possible new regulations and keep an eye on forage patterns.

Fall is prime time for bass fanatics, and if you’ve fished Table Rock Lake in the Ozarks lately, you know the bite’s hotter than a fresh jug of crawdad boil. According to a Branson fishing report, bass are staging up on rocky ledges, main-lake points, and brush piles from 10 to 25 feet. Crankbaits in shad and craw colors are pulling in both largemouths and smallies, while spinnerbaits and chatterbaits get bonus points when the wind kicks up. Sunrise poppers? Don’t skip ‘em; those bass are still smashing topwater before the sun climbs. Fish are feeding hard ahead of winter, so if you want a chance at that Table Rock Trifecta—largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted—now’s the time to make stories you’ll be telling all winter[Branson Fishing Report]. Speaking of big catches, Jacob Wheeler just absolutely shattered the Bass Pro Tour single-day record up in Massena, New York. He wrangled up 47 bass for a staggering 165 pounds, 1 ounce in a single day. The previous record wasn’t just topped by Wheeler; second and third place pros also beat it, showing that these northern waters are on fire for monster smallmouths.

With the leaves changing and water temps dropping, the bite is on, and—get this—the stories from the water are wilder than ever. Let’s jump right into what’s hot, what’s not, and the juicy catches locals are talking about. First up: **notable recent catches**. If you haven't heard, Adam White and Chaz Wilson took top honors at Mayo Lake’s 5 Alive tournament in North Carolina, hauling in a stringer that included a whopping 6.04-pound bass. That big fish bonus definitely raised some eyebrows and gave bragging rights to team Strickland & Phillips, who landed it and pocketed the extra cash. Tournaments across the Southeast are seeing solid weights thanks to the cooler October weather keeping the bass hungry and active. Now for the **hot spots**. Georgia is heating up—literally. The folks at Georgia Outdoor News say West Point Lake is magic this November, and Allatoona Lake is perfect for teaching the next generation how to read structure and work crankbaits. Whether you’re launching a boat for serious tournament fishing or just exploring with the family on a crisp fall morning, these southern reservoirs are producing largemouths right at that 3-pound mark, with a spotted bass bite perfect for folks who like tossing flashy flies or swim jigs. If you’re an East Coast local, the **Chesapeake Bay is still holding its own**, especially if you’re into striped bass (or “rockfish,” as the old-timers call 'em). According to Maryland’s latest fishing report, stripers are hanging around deeper holes in the lower Potomac and Patuxent rivers, with topwater and paddle-tail lures producing at places like Thomas Point and Poplar Island. The Bay Bridge—always a classic—is putting up stripers close to bridge pilings and rock piles, and some salty insiders are drifting live eels and perch for that strike you remember all winter. Despite another year of tough recruitment, action for slot-sized fish remains solid if you know where to look. Here’s one for the *tournament chasers*: the National Professional Fishing League wrapped its championship on Lake Hartwell in South Carolina, with the 2025 circuit spotlighting southern favorites like Santee Cooper and Lake Norman. Live-stream weigh-ins brought big crowds (and even bigger bass), fueling the friendly rivalry between pros and weekend warriors. Hartwell, Logan Martin, and Eufaula—mark those on your travel calendar for next year if you want a shot at your PB. Midwest and Southern lakes are still seeing the fall transition, so tactics are changing. On Pickwick Lake, guides warn the grass is thin this year, so bass are stacking up near structure and cover instead. The fall pattern means those old-school techniques like jigging or working drop shots around ledges and rocks are back in play. And for my fly rod folks—bass are chasing shad and menhaden. Smaller baitfish flush out of the streams, and fishing a streamer or p This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Pour yourself some black coffee and let’s talk stripers, largemouth, and smallies—plus everything happening on the water that gets a fly-rodder’s fingers twitching. Let’s kick it off with a whopper—George Bruggeman, down in Ohio, just hauled in a new state record striped bass at 37.375 pounds using eight-pound line and a plain ol’ nightcrawler. Talk about classic! This beast was landed September 29 in Champaign County, proving that even when everyone’s talking new-school rigs, sometimes you just can’t beat the basics. The News-Messenger shared his story, and I’d be willing to bet anyone who says they weren’t a little giddy reading it is fibbing. Now, let’s talk hot spots, because finding the right water is half the magic. According to the latest “Unleash the Bite” cast on Spreaker, Toledo Bend is still THAT lake. Just last week, Cody Pitt put himself in the record books there during an MLF event, hauling in a 39-pound, 15-ounce bag anchored by a single jaw-dropping 13-6 largemouth. That’s the biggest ever weighed in BFL competition, and sets the social feeds ablaze with dream-of-a-lifetime catches. Major League Fishing called it the sixth biggest single-day limit ever—if you’re itching for a monster, Toledo Bend should be circled in red on your map. For fly and finesse anglers, word from the Wachusett Reservoir in Massachusetts is the fall largemouth and smallmouth bite is heating up something fierce. According to Max from Fisherman’s World in Connecticut, there’s been an uptick in big smallies near Assawompset Pond, hitting topwater at dusk for those tuning in to local advice. Sunrise and sunset are the ticket now: tie on your favorite deer hair popper and wade quietly if you want to land one of those 20-plus inch brutes. Southern and Central U.S. lakes aren’t staying quiet either. Lake Chatuge in Georgia is running clear and cooling off, which means the bass are leaving the deep and getting more aggressive—anglers using shad imitations or heavier flies are reporting hot action. And if you find yourself out west, the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife just recently restocked Round Valley Reservoir with largemouth between 6 and 14 inches, giving you a shot at scrappy, hard-fighting fish in scenic, off-the-beaten-path water. Tournament talk? If you’ve got a competitive streak, Grove, Oklahoma is about to become the epicenter as more than 350 anglers descend on Grand Lake o’ the Cherokees for the Toyota Series Championship. With a prize pot that would make anybody’s head spin, this is one showdown to watch, and maybe pick up a few new tricks from the big sticks.

First off, how about some recent jaw-dropping catches? There’s chatter all over Texas, where the cooling weather is kicking the largemouth into high gear. The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department’s recent fishing report shouted out 4.96-pound black bass in just 3 to 8 feet of water at Lake Brownwood, with wake baits and chatterbaits doing all the heavy lifting along the shoreline grass and brush. Over on Choke Canyon—notoriously low but still fishy—bank anglers are landing solid black bass and some monster catfish, even with all the boat ramps closed. That’s commitment, folks. Further east, Georgia’s Paradise Public Fishing Area is seeing bass push offshore as nighttime temps drop, but die-hards casting finesse rigs onto points and humps are reporting consistent bites. Nothing like those crisp Southern evenings when you get that thump on a shaky head right at sunset. Big news on the bass tournament front: the National Professional Fishing League rolled out its 2025 trail, and if you want to chase top sticks or just stalk the pros for pattern insight, mark these spots: Santee Cooper, Lake Norman, Douglas Lake, Lake Eufaula, the St. Lawrence River, and Logan Martin, all leading up to the grand slam at Lake Hartwell next fall. These are some true “bucket list” fisheries—think big largemouth, rowdy spotted bass, and if you’re lucky, smallmouth that’ll bend your 7-weight fly rod like a noodle. Seasoned local guides say Douglas Lake’s mid-May bite and Lake Norman’s spring action are prime for swapping spinning gear for a 5-inch streamer and giving those bass something wild to chase. Hot spots? If you want downright reliable catching, you can’t do better than the current water at Texas’ Cedar Creek Lake. The sustained seventy-degree water and classic fall shad migration have turned on both hybrids and largemouth with slabs and spinnerbaits producing aggressive strikes. If you’re beating the banks in Maryland, don’t sleep on the tidal sections and rocky piers around the Baltimore Inner Harbor or the mouth of the Patapsco—where early and late topwater is basically must-fish time according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. And don’t forget about the Lower Potomac and Patuxent rivers, which are prime zones for casting paddletails or jerkbaits along channel edges. Now, for something that’ll get conservation-minded anglers (looking at you, fly fishers) talking: the coastwide menhaden catch limit is dropping by 20% in 2026 to try and help bring back the striped bass population along the Atlantic seaboard. That means more baitfish in the ecosystem, which could make your spring and fall bass runs even more electric.

If you’re itching for the latest big catches, the hottest bites, and a little fishy inspiration—especially for the fly-curious among you—you’re in the right boat. Let’s start where the lunkers live: Florida. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s TrophyCatch program is handing out serious props this November to nine anglers who each landed a jaw-dropping largemouth weighing a whopping 13 pounds or better. These catches aren’t just one-cast wonders—they help track and conserve Florida’s world-famous bass fishery. TrophyCatch has been rewarding big-bass chasers since 2012, so if you’re into hunting giants and contributing to conservation, Florida is ground zero right now. The celebration is happening in Daytona on November 8th, so if you’re local or want to see some true hall-of-fame bass in person, drop by Bass Pro Shops that day. Meanwhile, the action in tournament circles isn’t letting up. The Bassmaster BASS Nation Championship just wrapped in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Nick Trim of Galesville pulled a wire-to-wire win, bringing a four-day total of 77 pounds to the scale—four pounds heavier than second place. That’s old-school domination and proof that Wisconsin river country can throw down some serious tournament weights. Also, in the southeast, Keith and Penny Miller from Scottsboro, Alabama, stole the show (and $5,000) at the Toyota Owners Tournament on legendary Lake Guntersville. For this couple, it wasn’t just about the prize; it was about the fun and camaraderie—which sums up why we chase bass, whether it’s in a tournament or just for bragging rights over coffee the next morning. Their secret? Targeting scattered grass in mid-lake—a classic move that paid off despite the post-front fishing funk. If you like to mix things up with a fly rod or prefer to hunt bass wherever the bite is popping, let’s talk hotspots. Central Florida is turning on. The first real cool snap of the season is dropping air temps into the 70s, and according to SpaceFish, the inshore and freshwater bite is guaranteed to be hot as fish gear up for winter. If you’re in the Sunshine State, now is the time to throw frogs or big streamer flies around the lakes and ponds when the wind settles down. Up north, Minnesota fall fishing is top-notch, with bigmouth and smallmouth both smashing moving baits as water temps dip. Focus on the transitions: weed lines and points during warming afternoons can be dynamite with a big streamer or a craw imitation. Let’s not forget Lake Hartwell in South Carolina, where Jason Burroughs took home gold in the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League, stacking up a five-fish limit for 19 pounds, 6 ounces. That area is hopping for both gear and fly anglers as fall moves fish shallow and the biggest bass chase baitfish up onto points and into coves.

Focus on the transitions: weed lines and points during warming afternoons can be dynamite with a big streamer or a craw imitation. Let’s not forget Lake Hartwell in South Carolina, where Jason Burroughs took home gold in the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League, stacking up a five-fish limit for 19 pounds, 6 ounces. That area is hopping for both gear and fly anglers as fall moves fish shallow and the biggest bass chase baitfish up onto points and into coves.

Pull up a dock chair, grab your favorite rod, and let’s see what’s biting in the U.S. this week. Starting off, let’s talk big catches – the kind that get your buddies texting you at 5 a.m. George Bruggeman of New Carlisle, Ohio, went out on Kiser Lake just hoping for some bluegill and perch, but ended up landing a 37.3-pound state record striped bass—on 8-pound test line! That’s the kind of story we swap over coffee—you never know what’s lurking under those calm waters. And trust me, the local bait shop is still buzzing about it, according to the Sandusky Register. Now, for those serious about bass, the action is where the water’s moving and the grass is green. Up in Maryland, Department of Natural Resources biologists just dropped new research showing that bigger, healthier largemouth bass populations are all about that thick, lush underwater grass—especially in the upper Chesapeake Bay watersheds. More grass, more bass. When the grass is low, even the best anglers feel the pinch. It’s a reminder that us locals need to protect those beds and keep ’em clear for the spawn. In fact, Maryland DNR is working with bass tournaments now to monitor catch-and-release impacts, because keeping the habitat healthy is the only way to keep the bass biting. If you’re looking for your next hot spot, Louisiana is serving up some solid action. Caney Lake’s docks are holding bass, especially if you go jig-and-froggin’ early, and don’t overlook topwater action in the river cuts behind Bussey Brake. The Ouachita River is low but still kicking out bass on current breaks—watch those shad patterns, according to the latest Jackson Parish Journal fishing report. And up on Lake D’Arbonne, head deep after breakfast for the biggest fish. You’ll find crappie and catfish biting, too—perfect for when you need a break from casting for greenbacks. Up north, tournament anglers are still catching their breath after the 2025 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship on the Upper Mississippi, where local legend Nick Trim put on a clinic. He hauled in 77 pounds of bass over four days—wire to wire—earning a berth into the 2026 Bassmaster Classic and plenty of bragging rights. What’s the secret? Location, location, location. Trim’s from Galesville, Wisconsin, and after a few thousand trips downriver, he knows every wing dam and sandbar. According to Bassmaster, this year’s champs leaned into the chilly, late-autumn bite, proving these river fish can get downright aggressive when the air starts to sting. Meanwhile, the world of team bass fishing is still buzzing after the MLF Patriot Cup, where Jake Lawrence and Alton Jones Jr., rocking the shad minnow imitations, proved that sometimes you don’t need high-tech sonar—just a sharp bait and a gut for the water. And you gotta love a tournament that comes down to the last cast—Dean Rojas and Takahiro Omori made a leap This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s kick it off with the news everyone’s been buzzing about: up in Wisconsin, the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship showdown on the mighty Upper Mississippi River has been absolute fire. Local hammer Nick Trim keeps proving nobody can outsling him in his own backyard. Even a fog delay—four hours of staring at mist—couldn’t shut him down. Trim pulled a five-bass bag Friday weighing 16 lbs, 9 oz, making his three-day haul a beefy 56-9. He’s fishing deep wintering holes and slow-dragging jigs, and the cold snap seems to have the bass stacking up where savvy anglers find those little 4-to-16-foot ledges, points, and ‘hard spots.’ Pro tip: if you’re chasing cold water bass, pay attention to temp drops and subtle depth changes—just like Trim does. This spot ought to be on every bucket list according to the locals—it’s proven itself again as a legit trophy destination. Elsewhere in the Midwest, east-central Wisconsin’s Cloverleaf Chain has been pumping out largemouth action as fronts roll through, with anglers hooking up just outside weed edges and chasing bait schools on the daily. According to Outdoor News, the fall bite is strong and weedlines are still holding fish even as water temps start to tumble, which makes it a top pick for those who love finesse and precise presentations. Swinging over to Georgia, it’s prime time for bass fans. The state wildlife team reports fall fishing is at its peak, thanks to cooler water revving up big largemouth, spots, and even shoal bass in rivers and reservoirs like Lake Weiss and West Point Lake. West Point’s shallows are popping at sunset as schooling bass chase shad up to the banks—if you’re eager to watch surface blow-ups, toss a topwater like a Pop R or white buzzbait at sundown. Shallow crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Rat-L-Traps are getting eaten on roadbeds and secondary points. For anyone with a soft spot for fly fishing, this is the time to throw oversized streamers at actively feeding bass. Trust me, if you catch the shad migration, it’ll scratch that streamer itch in a big way. Let’s not forget Massachusetts, where Moores Pond in Warwick recently gave up an absolute unit: a largemouth bass topping the scales at 7 lbs, 13 oz. Over on the Chicopee River, a catch-and-release largemouth stretched a whopping 25 inches, putting it among the top fish in the state’s annual leaderboard. These New England spots hold their own against southern giants, so if you like exploring new waters, add these locations to your road trip. A glance at the tournament circuits shows there’s plenty of high-stakes action ahead. Major League Fishing (MLF) just revealed the fall run of Team Series Cup events—starting August 24 and rolling into late November.

Whether you’re chasing largemouth in grassy coves, going after monster smallmouth on rivers, or scouting for your next honey hole, there’s plenty of action and some fresh news to keep you tying on new flies. Let’s kick off with the big tournament buzz: The 2025 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship at the Upper Mississippi River has been packed with drama and some seriously chunky catches. Wisconsin local Nick Trim has dominated so far, hauling in over 40 pounds across two days, topped off with a jaw-dropping 6-pound smallmouth. This dude knows the river like his own backyard, and it’s giving the out-of-towners a run for their money. Some say the key is landing those “big brown fish” – smallmouth that give each cast a heart-thumping payoff. Bassmaster.com has all the leaderboard drama if you want to watch the blow-by-blow. For the local hot spots, here’s what’s lighting up the radar. - Upper Mississippi River (La Crosse, WI): Crowded? Yes. Worth it? You bet, especially with Pool 8 producing heavy bags despite loads of boat pressure. - Prosser Creek Reservoir (CA): Shore-bound anglers are seeing the best action as the boat ramp is closed, but bass keep stacking in coves at roughly 10 feet. Plastics, jigs, and crankbaits are working for steady catches. - Lake Isabella (CA): Reports are flooding in about an excellent bass bite with clear water and cool temps. If you’re anywhere near Kern County, the bite is hot and heavy right now. - Southwest Oregon: Galesville Reservoir is serving up quality largemouth, and the Coquille River is putting out decent striped bass, especially during early morning or dusk. - Cape Cod/Elizabeth Islands (MA): If salt is calling your fly, estuaries and bays are still loaded with blitzing bass feeding on piles of peanut bunker. Reports from Salt of the Earth Sportfishing say XL bass are mixed in if you work the tide and avoid the jet skis. - Connecticut/Rhode Island: Slot-sized and bigger bass are surging through the rivers, especially sheltering from autumn winds – a prime spot for river fly fanatics. In the science and conservation corner, Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources just published fresh research on largemouth bass habitat and catch-and-release mortality. The gist? Healthy underwater grass means healthy bass populations. Bass thrive when there’s tons of submerged vegetation – it’s like nature’s nursery and buffet rolled into one. Take away the green stuff, and catches get sketchy unless anglers dial back mortality rates from catch-and-release. If you’re a fly fisher invested in the long game, this is a good reminder to treat the water and your quarry with respect. And let’s not ignore the invasive drama: Blue catfish continue to be a threat in Maryland’s tidal rivers. These big predators are moving upstream in winter and mobilizing come spring.

Let’s kick it off with a headline grabber from Tennessee—Kevin Drake’s monster 10.22-pound largemouth out of Chickamauga Lake. This wasn’t just any ol’ big bass. Drake hauled in that tank on October 18 during the Chattanooga Bass Association’s Classic, but here’s the fun part: it also shot him to the top of the Bill Dance Nationwide Giant Bass Open leaderboard. According to Wired2Fish, not only is Drake now the front-runner, but if the catch holds, he could sweep monthly and yearly honors—and scoop a seriously juicy prize haul. All that from a $45 entry into the contest. That, my friends, is the fish story we dream about. Competition heats aren’t just about personal bests, either. This week, Wisconsin’s Nick Trim threw down a 21-pound bag (including a 6-pound beast) to snatch the Day 1 lead at the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship on the Upper Mississippi River, as reported by Bassmaster. Even in chilly fall conditions, these pros are stacking up respectable weights, with plenty of schooling bass packing the river’s main channels and grass edges. The Mississippi remains a fly-angler’s playground in autumn—with fish smashing poppers and jerkbaits in that shallow flow. Speaking of hot spots—if you’re itching to get out there, Lake Seminole down in Georgia is firing on all cylinders this October. The latest fishing report says topwater lures, crankbaits, and especially spinnerbaits are crushing it right now as aggressive bass chase shad schooling in the shallows. The vegetation is just right, the water’s been stable, and that classic topwater bite is non-stop, perfect for those who love the thrill of watching their fly get inhaled at sunrise. Meanwhile in Alabama, the Folds of Honor Patriot Cup on Lake Wedowee just wrapped Elimination Round 1. Team O’Reilly’s Dustin Connell and Jacob Wheeler absolutely dominated with a wild 64-pound haul anchored by Wheeler’s 2-pound, 15-ounce spotted bass. The real lesson for anyone dreaming of tournament glory: these guys matched their baits to the resident shad with precision, throwing downsized swimbaits to mimic the hatch. Right time, right place equals a livewell full of bass and maybe some inspiration for your next lure choice. For all you boundary-pushers, Bainbridge, Georgia keeps building its legend as a major bass destination, now boosted by its latest pro partnership with Major League Fishing. Locals claim the “Bass Capital” title, and major events keep rolling through town, so if you want to stalk trophy largemouth on classic structure and friendly southern waters, put Bainbridge and Lake Seminole on your hit list this season. Finally, on the science beat, striped bass fans are seeing mixed news.

If you’re an angler who likes a little adventure and maybe to see a weird bass story or two before your next fly fishing trip, you’re in the right place. Let’s kick things off with a wild one: Whiskey Riff just ran a story about a kayak tournament angler, Casey Reed, who stumbled upon two largemouth bass doing what bass do best—trying to eat big and getting in trouble for it. Both fish got locked jaw-to-jaw, the bigger one trying to swallow the smaller, and ended up stuck, floating and helpless. Call it nature’s version of “bit off more than you can chew!” Reed managed to separate the pair, but the odds for that greedy bass weren’t looking too hot. Shows just how aggressive and unpredictable these green giants can be. Now, if you’re looking for recent jaw-droppin’ catches, tournament circuits are dropping big news. Chris Muniz recently took first at Lake Travis in Texas, hauling in 93.25 inches of bass—that’s just inches shy of 8 feet of pure, wriggling fish—and walked away with a healthy payout. Colletto Creek gave everyone a tough time, but the hot Texas scene means big bass and big drama almost every weekend, especially with the Texas B.A.S.S. Nation ramping up for their State Championship on Lake Lewisville. For the folks in Georgia, Altamaha River’s been solid—recent reports mention 25-bass days with several chunky 2-4 pounders, perfect when you just want steady action. And over on the West Coast, Portuguese Cove and Lone Oak areas of the San Luis Reservoir are heating up, with boiling schools of bass making it prime time for topwater and fast retrieves. Local guides are hyped about the action, so if you like casting until your arm’s sore, San Luis is worth a stop. If conservation’s your style, major kudos to Responsible Anglers United for tossing 32,000 Florida Bass into Louisiana’s Lake Bouef to help the lake bounce back after nasty storms. That’s a lot of new fish for local anglers to chase, especially ahead of next spring’s Big Bass Rodeo and Fishtival in New Orleans—the oldest freshwater bass rodeo in the country, running March 28, 2026. Looking ahead, Michigan bassers could see some changes with a proposed closure on catch-and-immediate-release fishing during spawn season in a handful of northern lakes. The Natural Resources Commission is weighing amendments to help protect spawning fish, which could put the brakes on early season action for catch-and-release purists, but it’s all in the name of keeping populations healthy. Hot lakes this year? Bassmaster’s 2025 Best Bass Lakes rankings still crown Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and California as the most reliable spots if you want a chance at true trophy bass. But don’t overlook Wisconsin or smaller ponds—sometimes the local honey holes deliver 5-pounders that’ll make your week.

That’s a lot of new fish for local anglers to chase, especially ahead of next spring’s Big Bass Rodeo and Fishtival in New Orleans—the oldest freshwater bass rodeo in the country, running March 28, 2026. Looking ahead, Michigan bassers could see some changes with a proposed closure on catch-and-immediate-release fishing during spawn season in a handful of northern lakes. The Natural Resources Commission is weighing amendments to help protect spawning fish, which could put the brakes on early season action for catch-and-release purists, but it’s all in the name of keeping populations healthy. Hot lakes this year? Bassmaster’s 2025 Best Bass Lakes rankings still crown Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and California as the most reliable spots if you want a chance at true trophy bass. But don’t overlook Wisconsin or smaller ponds—sometimes the local honey holes deliver 5-pounders that’ll make your week.

If you think the bass scene’s quieting down with fall rolling in—think again! The bite’s sizzling, records are dropping, and spots across the country are lighting up like a school of shad on the surface. Let’s kick things off with big news from Florida. Craig Cavanna just took home the win at Harris Chain of Lakes this past weekend, wrangling a sweet five-bass limit for a hefty 14.39 pounds anchored by a chunky 4.67-pound largemouth. That kind of bag has locals eyeing the Harris Chain as prime October water, especially with weather cooling and the grass lines holding schools of hungry greenbacks. There’s chatter that spinnerbaits and topwater frogs are making a splash down there, so pack your fly rods with some loud poppers if you’re headed that way. Now for the tournament diehards—Upper Mississippi River in La Crosse, Wisconsin is buzzing as the 2025 B.A.S.S. Nation Championship takes over this week. The fields are stacked and conditions are classic Midwest autumn: crisp, breezy, and loaded with fat river bass feeding up for winter. Reports from Mercury and Bassmaster insiders are pegging the shallow sloughs and current breaks for both largemouth and smallies on chatterbaits and big streamers. If you’re after multi-species action to scratch that fly itch, La Crosse is a must-visit as the stripers and rock bass are showing too. For you college fishing fans, the AFTCO Collegiate Bass Open just wrapped last weekend on Lake Dardanelle, Arkansas. Over 280 teams battled it out, with Carson-Newman University clinging to first place in the national standings—though University of Montevallo is nipping at their heels, with only 35 points separating them. Dardanelle’s grass edges and flooded timber proved tricky, but plenty of teams exceeded 3,000 points, and buzz in the forums says the shad migration has the bass feeding shallow. Don’t sleep on the college circuit—these kids are bringing innovative tactics and plenty of fly crossover, especially targeting suspended fish on intermediate lines. Where else is hot right now? According to Bassmaster’s “Top 10 Best Bass Lakes of 2025,” places like Lake Fork, Texas and Clear Lake, California remain legendary for both numbers and giants. But watch for dark horses—Lake Chickamauga in Tennessee is quietly putting out double-digit fish, and Guntersville, Alabama is seeing some bonkers fall evening bites. Anglers are threading big streamers and sparse bucktail jigs to mimic dying baitfish, a trick any fly angler should put in their arsenal. Want something a little offbeat? Urban river fishing is exploding: Columbia, South Carolina’s Saluda River is holding solid numbers of largemouth, spotted bass, and striped bass, with savvy city anglers landing trophy fish on fly poppers and streamers evenings after work. That’s proof you don’t need a truckload of tackle or a trip to the country to hook into serious action. And This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you're all about chasing big bass and swapping stories on riverbanks or those wind-blown lake shores, grab your rod and tune in, because this week the bass scene is jam-packed with action, records, and secret spots. Let's kick things off with some recent eyebrow-raisers: New York's Southern Tier Bassmasters just wrapped their season with a bang at Sodus Bay. Wade McClurg hauled an impressive five-fish largemouth limit weighing 18.44 pounds—his anchor was a chunky 3.86-pounder, and rumor has it Charlie Prince’s monster 4.98-pound smallmouth nearly needed its own photo shoot. If you’re east of the Mississippi, right now lakes like Sodus Bay and the Erie/Niagara system are prime for both largemouth and smallmouth. For you fly anglers, that crisp fall air means shallow flats and rocks are brimming with aggressive smallies ready to chase streamers and poppers. Down south, Texas keeps living up to its lunker reputation. Possum Kingdom Lake recorded a white bass catch of 3.57 pounds at 18 inches by Ed Harper in late January—those deeper reservoirs are popping with fresh records practically every month. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, hybrid, largemouth, and striped bass are chewing, especially as water temps drop. For those who like covering water with flies, the schooling white bass and surface-hunting stripers are prime pickings during their frenzied bait ball chases. West Coast folks, Nor Cal Fish Reports and the Lovely Martha charter out of San Francisco are all about limits—10 limits of striped bass landed on a recent October morning, plus a solid load of catch-and-release action and a sprinkle of halibut for good measure. San Francisco Bay is producing, and with the seasonal tides, striped bass are cruising up river mouths and estuaries, gorging on bait—ideal for both conventional and fly approaches if you want some drag-singers. Now, what’s new and interesting? Over in Virginia, striped bass (rockfish to the locals) had an average year class according to William & Mary’s Batten School & VIMS juvenile survey. It’s solid news for the future, with these young fish hitting “keeper” sizes in a few years and providing hope after a bumpy stretch of low recruitment. Regulatory tweaks should make for even better seasons ahead, as they rebuild stocks across Chesapeake Bay, so watch for those fall blitzes; perfect for sinking a Clouser Minnow near river grass beds. Tournament-wise, the Redfish Cup Championship is about to go down in Port Aransas, Texas, with top Bassmaster Elite Series pros crossing freshwater lines for salty action. The cool twist? These bass gods are leaving the lakes and bringing their finesse to bay flats—talk about swapping spinnerbaits for crab flies.

If you’ve got fly rods itching to hit the water, grab your waders—now’s the time. Let’s kick things off with some monster bass news. Clanton, Alabama’s own James Willoughby recently landed a big win at the American Bass Anglers Tour, showing everyone that fall bassin’ in the Southeast is still off the charts. Meanwhile, up in Indiana, local legends and visiting anglers are still swapping stories about the biggest largemouth ever hauled out of Hoosier waters—a jaw-dropping 22-pound, 4-ounce beast, sharing world-record status with a whopper taken in Japan. The big girls are deeper this month, especially as the water cools. For those chasing trophies, those classic slow presentations and big baits are what’s bringing those double-digit dreams to life. Here’s something for all you hotspot hounds. Guntersville Lake in Alabama keeps making headlines. Just last week, elite pros squared off at the Ultimate Angler Championship, and this lake proved—yet again—it’s the heavyweight champ. If you want pure numbers and brag-worthy fish, Guntersville’s pea gravel points and deeper ledges are absolutely loaded. But don’t sleep on other killer waters: Table Rock Lake in Missouri is seeing epic fall action, with bass chasing shad in 22 to 35 feet of water. Table Rock Fishing Intel reports that both largemouth and spots are schooling up and slamming jigs, weighted streamers, and anything that looks like a darting baitfish. If you like a challenge and crystal-clear water, Table Rock’s your playground. Over in the Northeast, Lake Champlain straddling Vermont and New York is still serving up both smallmouth and largemouth bass, and guys are having a blast catching them on streamers and poppers. This time of year, the main lake’s clear, but get up in those river arms and it’s game on around submerged timber and rocky drop-offs. Don’t forget the Snake River in Idaho—Idaho Angler says smallmouth are steady there as fall temps push them deep, making weighted streamers and indicator rigs the ticket. Down South, Louisiana’s still the unsung hero. Explore Louisiana tips its cap to Toledo Bend, Caney Lake, and the Red River for producing boatloads of trophy-sized bass, especially when the spring spawn comes back around. But don’t wait till spring—big fish are being caught right now on lipless cranks and big Texas rigs near submerged brush and bluff walls. If you’re itching for a family event or want to brush up on your fly skills, Texas Parks & Wildlife has a whole lineup in the coming weeks. From “Fishing with a Ranger” at Goose Island State Park to fly fishing clinics at Lockhart State Park, the Lone Star State is making it easy to get on the water.

There’s been no shortage of action this October—so let’s get to the juice. First up, Minnesota is shaking things up. According to KAXE, anglers might soon see a year-round bass season as part of a push by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. That means those long, cabin-fever winters could turn into prime time for catch-and-release bassin’—no biological risk, just more lines in the water and more stories for the ice shanty crowd. If you’re out Minnesota-way, keep an eye on that rule change; it’s got support from all sides and could be a huge win for folks who can’t stand waiting for the season opener. Now, where’s the hot bite? Southern lakes are starting to turn up as the temperatures dip just a hair. Over in Georgia, Lake Chatuge is primed for action. Eric Welch, pro guide and local legend, reports that the topwater bite is warming up, especially on those overcast days. He likes to work main lake points, humps, and flats with walking baits in bone or olive. As always, access to deep water nearby is the deal-sealer for big spotted bass. If you’re looking for a fun twist, Chatuge is clear and begging for a fly rod this month—those fish are getting active! Swinging a bit north, Massachusetts keeps producing. The latest state sportfishing awards, updated just last week, show some stout largemouths: a 7-pound, 13-ounce tank was pulled out of Moores Pond in Warwick, and a whopping 25-inch largemouth was landed in the Chicopee River out in Ludlow. Quabbin Reservoir is also still the smallmouth spot to beat, with 5-pound, 12-ounce bronzebacks turning up in Belchertown. If you’re a fly angler, these smaller New England lakes are perfect for working streamers or big frogs in the skinny weed lines—don’t sleep on it. On the tournament circuit, college anglers are turning heads—and not just with their jerseys. According to the latest from the AFTCO Collegiate Bass Open, over 280 teams lit up Lake Dardanelle, Arkansas last week. These collegiate hotshots are sharing the water with the pros and putting up weights that’d make any weekend warrior proud. That kind of pressure keeps everybody honest and means the lakes are getting mapped out better than ever. If you want a “locals only” tip, take a page out of the college playbook: mix up your retrieve and don’t be afraid to work finesse plastics or suspending jerkbaits in pressured water. Bass news isn’t just about what’s in the live well. Over on the East Coast, On The Water magazine reports that the forage base is in the news, too—a fresh menhaden assessment calls for cutting the commercial catch in half along the Atlantic. This is huge for striper fans, but it’s good news for largemouth and smallmouth as well, since a thriving bait population keeps the whole food chain ticking along.

Let’s kick off with the big news out of Wisconsin: the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship is landing on the Upper Mississippi River at La Crosse from October 22-25. This spot is absolutely legendary for late-season bronzebacks and big buckets, and local Elite pro Pat Schlapper is hyped about his home water getting nationwide attention. He predicts a 20 to 24-pound bag to win a one-day derby here—pretty wild numbers for fall. What makes the Mississippi really special is that this time of year, the pressure’s lower and bass are on the chew, hunting down bait before it gets too cold. Schlapper, who won there this August with a four-day total of over 66 pounds, says it’s shaping up to be an eye-opener for the 250 boaters coming in from nearly every state. If you’re hungry for a bucket-list river bite, this week in La Crosse is prime time to chuck a big popper or dial in a subsurface streamer for mean smallmouth and largemouth runs—prime action for the fly crowd and gear anglers alike, no jokes. In the collegiate bass world, Lake Dardanelle in Arkansas just hosted over 280 teams for the AFTCO Collegiate Bass Open, where big limits and lots of college pride were on the line. The top ten teams earned slots to the 2026 Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship, set for Pickwick Lake in Alabama next May. If you like the idea of tournament bass action with a bunch of up-and-coming sticks sharing tricks on jerkbaits, dropshots, and even flies in the backs of creeks, college events are absolutely worth following—plus, hot patterns there usually work back home in your local pond. Switching gears, Texas is still sizzling for autumn bass. The Texas Parks & Wildlife reports that as the water cools, bass are sliding shallow and chasing shad hard. Pro tip: in Lake Georgetown, working reaction baits along the shallows in the San Gabriel River is pulling bites, while at Lake Limestone, fish are stacking up on off-shore brush and docks, ready for anything from a spinnerbait to a chunky streamer. Shad are pushing deep into creeks, dragging bass along, so this is absolutely the season for fast-moving baits and bold presentations—if you’re a fly angler, think flashy streamers or poppers twitched along those transitions. Meanwhile, out East, bass and their kin are shifting patterns in classic fall style. In the Chesapeake Bay, striped bass are suspending off those steep channel edges, smashing topwaters early and late. Maryland anglers are sneaking in some quality shallow-water bass fishing right now with jerkbaits and paddletails, especially around Poplar Island and Thomas Point. Recent Maryland DNR fishing reports mention the lower Choptank and Little Choptank as spots heating up with stripers and some bonus largemouths lurking bayside edges.

First up, can you imagine hauling in a smallmouth so massive that even the state biologists had to do a double-take? That’s what happened to Vermont angler Andrew Oestringer this August on Lower Symes Pond. He wrestled in a nearly two-foot smallmouth that weighed a whopping 7 pounds, 6 ounces—he would’ve smashed the state record… if only he’d weighed it on a certified scale. Instead, it went straight to the fillet table, but hey, even as an unofficial milestone, that’s the stuff legends are made of. If you’re a fan of overlooked water, Vermont’s hidden ponds and streams are truly lights-out right now, with both size and variety that’ll satisfy even the most adventurous fly fisher. Not to be outdone by the grown-ups, 14-year-old James Lenox from Rutland County yanked up a 22-inch, 7-pound largemouth at Lake Bomoseen, the biggest youth catch logged in Vermont’s Master Angler Program this year. Whether you’re a seasoned bass addict or raising the next generation on a fly rod, these stories from the Northeast show it’s never too early—or too late—to nail your personal best. Now, let’s swing west, because California’s bass scene refuses to be outshined. The talk out at the California Delta is all about fall transition and crazy numbers of bass getting fired up in the grass and current lines. The recent BAM Super 60 Pro Tour lit up the Delta with bags over 27 pounds led by Bryant Smith, who switched from reaction baits to heavy power-flipping—showing that if the topwater blitz fizzles, punching mats can still save your day. Even classic techniques are evolving out west, with swimbaits, vibrating jigs, and classic green pumpkin plastics still drawing strikes. If you’re itching to flex your fly presentation, the Delta’s shallow weeds and edges are calling your name. According to WesternBass, the fall bite is staying strong, with water temps dropping and fish grouping up just like clockwork for the annual shad migration. Turn the boat south and east to Missouri, where Lake of the Ozarks hosted its massive October Big Bass Bash. It’s a unique tournament—hourly payouts for big bass, a festival vibe, and a final prize that would make anyone double-check their line knots. This year, Phil Meyer almost didn’t enter, but a buddy twisted his arm. Lucky for him—he stuck a 7.37-pounder under a dock on a green-pumpkin craw and walked away $102,300 richer. That’s right: more than a hundred grand for “just one fish” and some old-school patience. Wired2Fish covered Meyer’s win, and it’s a reminder that sometimes, you just need to throw in for a shot at something big.

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 15:13:08 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your fresh dose of bass fishing buzz from all corners of the United States, and let me tell you—the bass are biting, the tournaments are wild, and there’s never been a better time to sneak away for a day on the water. First up, can you imagine hauling in a smallmouth so massive that even the state biologists had to do a double-take? That’s what happened to Vermont angler Andrew Oestringer this August on Lower Symes Pond. He wrestled in a nearly two-foot smallmouth that weighed a whopping 7 pounds, 6 ounces—he would’ve smashed the state record… if only he’d weighed it on a certified scale. Instead, it went straight to the fillet table, but hey, even as an unofficial milestone, that’s the stuff legends are made of. If you’re a fan of overlooked water, Vermont’s hidden ponds and streams are truly lights-out right now, with both size and variety that’ll satisfy even the most adventurous fly fisher. Not to be outdone by the grown-ups, 14-year-old James Lenox from Rutland County yanked up a 22-inch, 7-pound largemouth at Lake Bomoseen, the biggest youth catch logged in Vermont’s Master Angler Program this year.

Let’s kick things off with a big-time spotlight: the buzz around the 2025 Kayak Bass Fishing National Championship, set for November on Alabama’s legendary Wheeler and Guntersville lakes. Fall bite plus storied Guntersville means you can bet on some monster largemouths showing up in weigh-ins. Not only are the nation’s best kayak wranglers headed to battle, but after the main event, anglers can double-down with the Challenge Series Championship and a KBF Open fundraiser all in the same week. There’ll be plenty of stories and, if history holds, serious double-digit bass coming from the grass, rocks, and ledges Guntersville is famous for – according to KayakBassFishing.com, every previous championship here has delivered unforgettable catches, so set your calendar nov 5-7 if you want to see some fall fat bass in the spotlight. Sticking in Alabama, another hot spot is Goosepond in Scottsboro. This place is almost a calendar model for tournament action with events stacked from local trail dates all the way up to the Alabama Bass Nation showdown. Whenever there’s a pro or club tournament, reports of seven-pound-plus largemouths make the rounds, and the dock talk is Goosepond is just getting better every year. Texas? Absolutely popping off right now. According to the October Texas Parks and Wildlife report, Bois d’Arc Lake is excellent for bass, with solid topwater action early and fish schooling shallow on pondweed and creek mouths. It’s frog and buzzbait season in Texas, and local guides say don’t be surprised to pull five- and six-pound fish at first light. Head west to Lake Bridgeport and Athens, and the main lake rocks and docks are loaded with bass – topwater, senkos, chatterbaits, and for fly fishers, small white poppers around the banks are stirring up black bass and bream. Don’t overlook Granbury, either. Early and late schooling activity means somewhere on the lake, packs of largemouth and sand bass are feeding, especially when the surface explodes over shad. Midwest and Ozark region waters are seeing strong numbers, too. West Plains Daily Quill reports Bull Shoals and Norfork Lakes are serving up limits of black bass, especially in the cool dawn and evening windows, with bonus white bass and crappie thrown into the mix. Fly anglers looking for mixed bags, these lakes are a honey hole: topwater poppers and streamers work wonders along rocky flats and timber edges. And on the tournament front, the American Bass Anglers circuits are still running hard into the fall all across the country. Their accessible, grassroots events are a perfect fit for local hotshots and weekend warriors alike who want to test their skills—lots of pride and plenty of five-pounders getting bragged about after weigh-in, according to AmericanBassAnglers.com.

Let's start in Tennessee, where Caleb Bell just set a new state record on the Ocoee River with a 7-pound, 3-ounce Alabama bass. This isn’t just a jaw-dropper for weight—Alabama bass are an invasive species, so they’re causing headaches for local fisheries and mixing it up with the native smallmouths. Props to Bell for the catch, but anglers and wildlife officials are on high alert to keep these fast-growing bass from crowding out our local favorites. Identification is getting tricky, with hybrids everywhere, so if you’re fishing Tennessee’s reservoirs, keep your eyes peeled for these lookalikes, and help the state stay on top of the genetics game. If you’re chasing lunker largemouth outside the southeast, Lake Maumelle in Arkansas has been buzzing. Airial Travel calls it a trophy destination with anglers reporting consistent catches of big bass all year. Whether you’re casting jigs or pitching frogs over the grass, Maumelle’s shoreline and drop-offs are producing—especially as the fall feed ramps up. And with cooler temps setting in, expect more bass to be prowling the shallows so fly anglers and bass wranglers alike can get in some epic action. Battle-tested pros from the Bassmaster series just wrapped up a wild event at Toledo Bend in Texas, a fishery known for its massive bass and sprawling structure. The Newport Bassmaster Kayak Series crowned Abby Abbondanza of Pennsylvania as Angler of the Year after a season full of big catches and tight competitions. Top baits? Paddle tails, jerkbaits, and topwater frogs—and if big water and big bass are your thing, Toledo Bend is firing on all cylinders right now. Plus, word is that kayak tournaments are drawing record numbers of anglers, showing that bass fishing is far from a one-boat affair. Lake Guntersville in Alabama just played host to the Ultimate Angler World Championship, drawing the sharpest sticks in professional bass fishing for a shot at a $500,000 prize. According to Turner Outdoors, Tucker Smith crushed the competition in the first couple of days, leading with big catches—seeing plenty of six- and seven-pounders weighed in, even with the fish not in peak spawn. The frog bite and jig action have been dialed in, and locals say Guntersville’s legendary grass beds are producing better than ever. Not to be outdone, Pennsylvania anglers hit the Allegheny River for the annual George R. Jones Jr. Walleye and Bass Tournament in Tidioute. Fourteen teams worked the river from Kinzua to President, landing respectable smallmouths during a full day of competition that pays tribute to a local fishing icon. With fall colors and cooling waters, the river bite is primed for both fly and spin folks, making it a northeast favorite for early October action. Headed to Maryland or the Mid-Atlantic?

Let’s kick things off down at legendary Toledo Bend, where one *very* famous largemouth, tipping the scales at 11.2 pounds, just clocked its **fourth documented catch and release**! Wired2Fish tells the entire fish tale: this brute has been tagged, weighed, and paraded more times than a county fair prize hog. The Toledo Bend Lake Association’s catch-tag-release program is proving just how catch-and-release keeps the lunker population thriving. How’s this for bass loyalty? The big ol’ gal gets caught, released, and swims back to her favorite cove every time, just waiting to test the drag on yet another lucky angler's reel. Looking for the next hot bite? Slide over to Lake Mohave, where the prestigious WON Bass Open just wrapped up. Over 160 teams—pros and “weekend warriors” alike—battled slick winds and bluebird skies, with long rods flying and loud whoops echoing from the canyons. Lake Mohave’s been fishing hot lately for both largemouth and smallmouth, thanks to stable fall water temps and plenty of structure. Pro tip: if you’re eyeing Mohave next fall, brush up on your Carolina rig game and bring a couple of flutter spoons—locals swear by them when the smallies are stacked on ledges. For the pedal-powered crowd, the Kalamazoo River in Michigan is building buzz with its kayak tournament series, where hefty river bass are making plenty of appearances. Myles Sayles, Kyle Filmore, and Jake Loesch threw down some serious inches, showing that river anglers are not messing around. Back east, Maryland waters are picking up as cool temperatures have fired up both largemouth and smallmouth action all around the Bay. Deep Creek Lake is pumping out solid mixed bags, and Chesapeake grass mats are tailor-made for frogging or flipping soft plastics. And hey, if you’re a fly flinger who likes tight cover, skinny water in the upper Potomac and around the Susquehanna Flats is prime for tossing big streamers at cruising smallies right now. Tournament news? The National Professional Fishing League closed its season at Logan Martin Lake, Alabama, with drama right down to the Angler of the Year wire—talk about a photo finish. Meanwhile, the Classic Bass Champions Tour showcased a wave of young up-and-comers putting on a Midwest clinic. There’s some real youth energy boosting things at every level—from kayak tourneys to the BCCT. Now, for what everyone loves—tackle talk. Fall bass are chasing shad, so break out those crankbaits and jerkbaits in silver and pearl—you don’t want to be the only angler on the lake not moving water with a squarebill.

First up, Matt McCluskey from Ashburn, Virginia just absolutely crushed it at the Phoenix Bass Fishing League Regional on the James River. This guy hauled in 34 pounds, 12 ounces over two days to take home the top prize, including a sweet new Phoenix 819 Pro bass boat. What's really interesting is how he dialed in on a tiny 20-yard by 20-yard spot down the Chickahominy River that was absolutely stacked with fish. McCluskey was throwing crankbaits and jig-head minnows in six to ten feet of water, and during his hot windows, he was basically just reeling them in for an hour and a half straight each morning. The cool part about his strategy was the run-and-gun approach - he'd hit that honey hole on the Chick first thing, then make an hour-plus run back north to Osborne Landing to try for one big bite. On day one, it paid off with a chunky 5 and a quarter pounder that really sealed the deal. Speaking of big fish, we've got some unofficial record news from Vermont that'll make your jaw drop. Andrew Oestringer was kayak fishing on Lower Symes Pond in Ryegate and landed what could have been a new state record smallmouth bass weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces. The only problem? He filleted the fish before getting it weighed on a certified scale, so it can't count as an official record. Still, that's one heck of a smallmouth from a little Northeast Kingdom pond that most people probably drive right past. Down south, high school anglers are making waves too. The Gailey sisters from Lumpkin County High School in Georgia took first place at the MLF Abu Garcia High School Fishing Open on Pickwick Lake with 16 pounds, 2 ounces. These young guns are showing that the future of bass fishing is in good hands. Now for the tactical stuff that might interest you fly slingers - the recent weather patterns across the country have been shaking things up in a big way. Multiple tropical systems have been pushing water around and creating some interesting conditions. In Florida, the Space Coast guys are dealing with persistent winds and vegetation movement that's been blocking off sections of water, but the silver lining is that water temperatures are finally dropping into that sweet fall transition zone where bass really start to feed aggressively. The James River tournament showed how important it is to adapt to changing conditions. McCluskey mentioned being worried about how recent storms would affect the tides, but sometimes Mother Nature surprises you in the best way possible. For you fly fishing folks thinking about crossing over to the dark side, pay attention to McCluskey's approach - he found one small, specific area and really worked it methodically. That's not so different from reading water and finding the right seam or structure that's holding fish, just with different tools.

Let’s kick things off at Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, where autumn colors are popping and the fish are too. The Mid Missouri Angling crew hit the Larry Gale launch last Friday, focusing their efforts around mile markers 31 to 34. Word is, practice is heating up for a big bass contest this weekend—expect a jungle of rods and hopeful anglers in every cove. Fishing has been solid, with lots of two-pounders showing, although no monsters have broken cover yet. Water temps hang around 76 degrees, skies bounce between clear and cloudy, and prime structure like docks and laydown logs are key if you’re after the aggressive fall bite. Billy missed a big one on a laydown just out from the ramp—now that’s the heartbreak that keeps you coming back for more! You know the drill: cover water, hit structure, watch your back cast with all those boats out there, and play nice with the other river rats. This weekend’s tourney is sure to see some heavy bags and slick stories. If your rod’s itching for a road trip, slide west out to California’s legendary Clear Lake. According to WesternBass.com, the fall transition is prime, and the local scene is buzzing after a strong tournament season capped with big events and exclusive baits—shout out to the new Missile Baits D Bomb color that helped Ish Monroe seal a major Pro/Am victory this summer. Out on the water, Clear Lake bass are patrolling five to fifteen feet, especially around docks, submerged wood, and thick grass—classic junk fishing. The locals say morning periods are fire, with topwater lures crushing before the sun pushes fish deeper. Be ready to switch it up throughout the day: punch through mats with heavy rigs, run chatterbaits on rocky transitions, and keep a frog handy for those grassy lanes at first light. A recent shad die-off has even packed hungry bass tighter into healthy water, meaning if you find the bait, you’re about to find the predators. For fly anglers willing to adapt, stripstreaming big streamers around docks or punching the edge of a mat could be the ticket while the gear guys are busy running plastics. Down in the Sunshine State, the Roland Martin Marine Center Series just wrapped another monster event on Lake Okeechobee, Florida’s famed bass factory. This is the highest-paying bass team circuit in the southeast, and the boat launch scene has felt like a rock concert. June’s Qualifier #3 saw titans like David Free and Tyler South hauling big sacks to the scale. Consistent double-digit weights are coming up, with the usual Okeechobee trickery—big flipping rigs, swirl-tail plastics, and squarebills banging through hydrilla edges. If you catch that famous afternoon frog bite, hold on tight, because the big lake never disappoints.

The locals say morning periods are fire, with topwater lures crushing before the sun pushes fish deeper. Be ready to switch it up throughout the day: punch through mats with heavy rigs, run chatterbaits on rocky transitions, and keep a frog handy for those grassy lanes at first light. A recent shad die-off has even packed hungry bass tighter into healthy water, meaning if you find the bait, you’re about to find the predators. For fly anglers willing to adapt, stripstreaming big streamers around docks or punching the edge of a mat could be the ticket while the gear guys are busy running plastics. Down in the Sunshine State, the Roland Martin Marine Center Series just wrapped another monster event on Lake Okeechobee, Florida’s famed bass factory. This is the highest-paying bass team circuit in the southeast, and the boat launch scene has felt like a rock concert. June’s Qualifier #3 saw titans like David Free and Tyler South hauling big sacks to the scale. Consistent double-digit weights are coming up, with the usual Okeechobee trickery—big flipping rigs, swirl-tail plastics, and squarebills banging through hydrilla edges. If you catch that famous afternoon frog bite, hold on tight, because the big lake never disappoints. For the news hounds, there’s been some dramatic h This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 255 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI2387063861 Howdy anglers, this is Artificial Lure with your weekly bite on everything bass fishing across the U.S. October is rolling in fresh, the water temps are cooling, and let me tell you, there’s some downright electric action on the lakes, rivers, and backwaters you love. Talk of the week has to be the fireworks at Lake Hartwell, South Carolina, where the National Professional Fishing League Championship kicked off in style. South Carolina local Jason Burroughs is leading after day one, sticking 17 pounds, 12 ounces in the bag by switching up his tactics at the buzzer. Tennessee’s Brandon Perkins is close behind with nearly 17 pounds, skipping the spotted bass and going all-in on largemouth. Hartwell is famous for keeping even the pros on their toes—one minute it’s crickets, the next minute you’re hauling in a five and a half pound lunker like Georgia’s Trent Palmer did. That one currently tops the tournament leaderboard for big bass. The field is stacked with 15-pound-plus bags, so it’s anybody’s trophy as we head into the final days, and Burroughs credits pure flexibility for his hot start (that’s bass wisdom right there, folks). If you’re looking for a hot spot to scratch your big bass itch, California’s Clear Lake is still holding strong. WesternBass reports that anglers there are running into double-digit bass—yep, fish tipping over 10 pounds—especially around docks and mats. The local guides say the “junk fishing” pattern is king, meaning you’ll want to have everything ready from topwater frogs during the morning flurry to jigs and plastics for the deeper midday bite. Early morning is gold; crawfish-colored chatterbaits and cranks along the south end’s rocks are lighting up, and some areas are loaded with bass spitting out crawdads and shad, so you know they’re eating both top and bottom. Slide east to Alabama, and Great Days Outdoors just raved about the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, where the topwater bite’s wide open. Water temps are dropping, and early fall is prime for buzzbaits, frogs, and anything you can walk across the surface. Bass are blitzing on the shrimp migration—seriously, if you fly fish, tie on a shrimp pattern or small streamer and hit the troughs and cane breaks at sunup. Fly guides are pitching Charlie Bisharat’s “Pole Dancer” and getting explosive surface eats, while conventional anglers stay ready with Zara Spooks and classic Walk-the-Dog lures. Backcountry canoe missions are calling, too, offering sneaky water access the bigger boats miss. For more out-of-the-way action, Prosser Creek Reservoir in California’s Sierra foothills has been a fun destination for steady numbers, especially if you want to mix it up with both trout and bass. Local tackle shops say with surface temps in the 60s, bass are holding shallow in the coves and nosing around for jigs and soft plastics. No giants reported this week, but the bite’s reliable and perfect for honing your finesse game or introducing a kid to their first bass.

If you’re keeping an eye on the bite from the Chesapeake to Texas and feeling that fall magic in the air, this one's for you. Let’s get right into the big fish news. Late August dropped a jaw-dropper down at Toledo Bend—Henry Boudreoux of Baton Rouge hauled in an 11.21-pound largemouth that just kept on biting, making it one of those catches folks will be talking about for the rest of the season, according to Light and Champion. That’s not just a fish story, that’s a lesson in why your gear should always be ready for that one unexpected strike out by the stumps. Looking for hot spots? Texas is showing off this week. According to the fresh Texas Parks and Wildlife weekly report, Lake Austin is on fire. Bass are schooling midlake, hammering crankbaits and swimbaits. Toss a topwater at dawn or skip a jig under those deep docks at night—less crowd, more fish. Bass in the 3-5 pound range have been common for those working the grass just right. For those who like a little more solitude, places like B.A. Steinhagen and Canyon Lake are putting out steady action if you work the grasslines and brush at first light. Sink a creature bait or pop something topwater in the shadows, and you’ll have your own story to tell. If you’re in the mood for a fall road trip, don’t sleep on Maryland’s upper Potomac this week. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources says smallmouth are on the prowl, water’s low and cool, and anglers making long, thoughtful casts with lighter presentations are getting rewarded. Think subtle: tubes, paddletails, and the ever-faithful popper, especially in the early morning. For fly folks, this is prime popper season—bring out those deer hair bugs and let them dance along the surface. Tournament scene? The calendar’s loaded. Over in northern Alabama, Lake Guntersville and surrounding big bass locales are bustling with weekly club events and a monster “classic” coming up October 7th—five fish limit, small entry, all grass-roots. If you want to measure yourself up to the region’s best, or just see what tricks the locals are throwing, now’s the time to grab a partner and cash in on cooler mornings and active fish. Speaking of competition, Major League Fishing is kicking off its Tackle Warehouse Invitationals on CBS Sports this weekend, primetime Sunday morning. You’ll see pro anglers grind it out for up to $115,000 and chase a spot at the Bass Pro Tour. These aren’t just guys who’ve mastered crankbaits and drop shots—they’re dialed in on every seasonal swing, from tidal rivers to brushy impoundments. That’s must-see for anyone who calls sweet tea and spinnerbaits home. For the interesting bite and those behind-the-scenes nuggets: as water cools into the 70s across much of the country, watch for shad and baitfish to push shallow.

Let’s dive in headfirst and see what’s been electrifying lakes and anglers across the U.S. lately. First up — bass news outta Texas. Turns out Sam Rayburn Reservoir just wrapped the last event of the Phoenix Bass Fishing League for the Cowboy Division, and if your arms are tired from casting big flies, you’ll want to hear this: Hayden Heck from Lufkin dropped a monster two-day haul of 52 pounds, 7 ounces of bass. The guy switched up his tactics mid-tournament, battling painful back issues, and still managed enough beefy bites to cash out with nearly $5,000 and another win to his name. Wyatt Frankens, also Texas proud, wrangled an 8-pound, 1-ounce largemouth, proving Rayburn’s still got the kind of heavyweight fish that make you wish your net was just a bit bigger. Some pro advice from the water: early morning crankbaits are hot right now, but don’t be shy about hopping brushpiles if you want a whopper. Just bring your patience—and maybe a good back brace. If you like your bass more on the prodigious side, O.H. Ivie Lake remains a legend-maker. Guides like Dalton Smith are still talking about their epic 14-pound catches, both in a single day. In fact, Wired2Fish says no one in west-central Texas even blinks when a 10-pound fish gets hauled up—folks here are hunting for the mythical double-digit monsters, preferably January through May. Why’s Ivie a factory for giants? It’s got the genetics, lush food sources, and sprawling cover that doubles as both a bass hideaway and angler obstacle course. But here’s where it gets interesting for the fly fishers: spawning beds are everywhere come spring, some as shallow as a few feet, some way deeper than you’d guess. Sight fishing with flashy swimbaits is the local move, but the bigs have gotten wise. Standout lures? Think realistic crappie imitations or heavyweight worms, especially post-spawn when the water heats up and bass hug the bottom. Now for those looking to scout new territory, collegiate anglers are having a blast on Watauga Lake in Tennessee. The Bassmaster College Classic Bracket presented by Lew’s just cut to its final four, with Tripp Berlinsky from North Alabama hauling up nearly 20 pounds on day one. These friendly rivalries not only keep the college scene buzzing, but they’re giving us all a front row seat on where next year’s bite might turn legendary. For anyone chasing smallmouth on fly, Watauga Lake rewards patient sight fishing — if you can time your trip during tournament season, you’ll learn a ton just watching how these up-and-comers break down water. Out East, tournaments on Ol’ Clear Pond saw Jeff Wolfe top the scales with 16.55 pounds for a classic five-fish limit. He’s got all the right moves for pressured water, and even when the bite turns slow, someone always gets lucky, like landing this week’s “Big Fish,” a surprise 4.6-pound largemouth on a tough day.

Let’s kick things off in Alabama, where the National Professional Fishing League just finished a thriller at Logan Martin Lake. Homegrown pro Scott Canterbury bagged his second NPFL win of the year, walking away with a cool $100K payday. Canterbury’s magic moment came on Day Two with a 6-pound 4-ounce beast that put him on top. He worked both brush piles and deep spots on the south end, but says he “cast in, had no idea there was a fish there” and then hooked a giant, just like the old days before sonar did all the work. For you fly fishers who love the thrill of the unknown, that’s the kind of raw, instinctive experience we all chase. Canterbury calls Logan Martin his “home water,” and clearly, knowing your spots pays off. For those thinking about where to wet a line, Logan Martin’s deep southern stretches are producing right now, especially for those blending shallow and deep-water presentations. But it’s not just Alabama lighting up—Utah’s bass bite is shaping into one of the best fall runs in recent seasons. According to the latest Salt Lake City report, Jordanelle Reservoir is loaded with both smallmouth and largemouth pushing over 4 pounds. Drop shot rigs with 3-inch soft plastics in natural colors and Texas-rigged black-and-blue baits are pulling good fish. Pineview Reservoir’s also worth a look—shakey heads and green pumpkin stickbaits around midday have been the ticket for steady smallmouth. Over in the Bassmaster world, college anglers are slugging it out at the College Classic Bracket, with several 4-pound-plus bass helping anglers cull up and make the next round. The northern circuit’s still popping, with Lake Champlain showing off nice limits recently, and the St. Lawrence River is always a contender on “hot spot” lists, especially in early fall when smallmouth chase bait into the shallows. For West Coast chasers, real-time reports out of Northern California mention “wide open bass fishing” with plenty of catch-and-release action, especially in the Bay Area. Emphasize weed edges and mainlake points, and don’t be afraid to mix in flashy crankbaits or soft plastics if the fish are following but not committing. Now, if you’re the type who likes to maximize your odds, American Bass Anglers and Major League Fishing both have calendars packed with events this fall. With conditions right for a “junk fishing” approach, don’t lock into a single lure. Fall is all about covering water, experimenting, and jumping between topwater, plastics, and reaction baits until you key in on the day’s bite. Fish are moving and feeding all day as water temps cool down, and seasoned locals know post-cold-front bright skies sometimes produce the best bites around noon.

If you’ve been tying flies, flipping plastics, or just dreaming of that next monster on the line, settle in for the latest splash. Let’s kick things off with some headline-worthy catches from Massachusetts’s sportfishing award leaders. Just this week, a largemouth bass tipping the scales at 7 lbs 13 oz was landed in Moores Pond, Warwick. That’s the kind of fish that keeps folks up at night, plotting their next trip and sharpening hooks. Not to be outdone, smallmouth action in Quabbin Reservoir saw a bruiser at 5 lbs 12 oz, while Assawompset Pond anglers wrangled catch-and-release smallies up to 23 inches. The youth are getting after it too—a 25-inch largemouth out of Moores Pond is proof these kids know their stuff. If you’re all about the finesse game, these northern waters are pumping out absolute tanks lately, especially with the early fall cool-down bringing bass shallow. Slide down to Georgia, where the lakes are heating up in more ways than one. The state’s latest fishing report says topwater baits are king on Lake Jackson in the mornings and evenings—Pop Rs, Chug Bugs, and Baby Torpedoes are all working their magic. Fish are cruising coves and seawalls early, then sliding under docks and shallow brush when the sun climbs. Hartwell’s a two-pattern lake right now, with bass chasing baitfish on deep humps as well as getting frisky on buzzbaits and flukes in shallow pockets. If artificial’s your game, try drop shotting around brush piles for spotted bass—you’ll find some stubborn ones lurking in the deeper stuff but the bite is getting better by the day. West Point Lake is also moving and grooving, with bass chasing shad imitations like Rat L Traps and rooster tails in coves during low light, then hunkering down deep for the rest of the day. Carolina rigs and crankbaits are your tickets to the bigger bites. Pro tip: scan main lake points for hidden brush with advanced sonar—the locals are doubling their numbers by staying glued to electronics. If you want big bass, find big bait schools. Transition season means fish breaking off from mega-schools—follow the bait and you’ll find the biters. Docks, brush piles, and creek mouths are all delivering. The shift’s on, so chase that topwater thrill at sunrise and sunset, but work plastics and jigs ultra-slow under cover once the sun gets bold. For the tournament crowd and anyone itching for a front-row seat to big-league bass battles, Major League Fishing’s Bass Pro Tour is swinging back to Beaver Lake, Arkansas next April. It’s a huge deal; the pros—guys like Jacob Wheeler, Ott DeFoe, Dustin Connell—will be battling it out, and the fan scene is pure outdoor party vibes. Even if you don’t own a boat, they’ve got co-angler divisions so you can mix it up alongside the best in the business. The circuit’s finally returning after a decade, and the local scene is pumped for big weights and bigge This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s start with a reel bender from the Major League Fishing Phoenix Bass Fishing League, where just this past weekend, Ryan Deal from Evansville, Indiana, closed out the Hoosier Division event on the Ohio River-Tanners Creek with an impressive 10-bass haul tipping the scales at 18 pounds, 5 ounces. Deal fished those classic river creeks, throwing spinnerbaits and plastics, and managed to keep a one-pound lead to lock in the win. If you’re a fan of targeting tight cover, Deal’s strategy proves that old-school approaches—think spinnerbaits burned around laydowns—are still on fire for heavyweights. Want even more action? Head a little further south to the Illinois River in northeast Oklahoma, where a fling for the rare Neosho bass is turning into one of the year’s can’t-miss adventures. This bass isn’t your average chunky greenback—it’s Ozark-born, trout-sized, and known for scrappy fights that have even hard-core fly fishers converting from feathers to finesse plastics. According to local guides, the best shot at landing a pure Neosho happens with light spinning gear or, get this, your favorite 5-weight fly rod and a small streamer or popper. Fall is prime time, the scenery is top-notch, but if you get one, treat it with care—these little fighters are getting harder to find, and most locals vouch strictly for catch and release to keep the magic alive. Hot spots? They keep popping up all over the Midwest. In Kansas, Herington City Lake just got a fresh report: largemouth bass fishing is rated good, with healthy catches on jigs and plastics around brush and rocks. Even as the numbers dipped a bit this summer, fish up to six pounds are still showing up—and that’s enough to get any angler’s heart pounding. Meanwhile, Brown State Fishing Lake is seeing black bass hitting crankbaits, especially around rocky structure, and the clear water makes for killer sight fishing. If you’re a fly angler, try early mornings around shallow brush with a juicy deer hair diver. On the tournament circuit, all eyes are shifting to Logan Martin Lake in Alabama this week for the National Professional Fishing League’s season finale. It’s well-known as a haven for topwater blowups and hulking largemouths hiding out under thick grass mats. Some pros swear by punching through that cover with big creature baits on heavy braid, but don’t sleep on those creek and river arms—moving baits like swim jigs can land you a kicker bass at first light. For a story that’ll tug your conservationist heartstrings, the Chesapeake Bay striped bass (or “rockfish” to the locals) are under some serious pressure, with regulators debating tighter harvest restrictions. While not a bass in the strictest sense of the word, these fish mean a lot to the culture This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Whether you’re tying tiny hoppers on a 4-weight or slinging jigs from a bass boat, grab your coffee and let’s get into what’s hot, what’s huge, and what might put a real bend in your rod this week. Let’s kick it off with a headline maker: At Lake Champlain, the Bassmaster Elite Qualifier wrapped up just days ago with Emil Wagner stringing together a monster bag—23 pounds, 7 ounces on the final day, sealing his total haul at just over 69 pounds. He nosed out Matt Messer by less than a pound. Talk about a tight tournament! Champlain’s proven again it’s not just scenic, it’s loaded—those big smallmouths are making even the pro stick-wielders grin ear to ear, and no surprise, fly anglers are starting to migrate there too. Speaking of fly-fishing crossover, let’s talk about hot spots. Out West, California’s San Francisco Bay has been absolutely popping with striped bass. The Lovely Martha Fish Reports just posted that on September 20, they finished a half-day trip with 14 limits of striped bass and more keepers released than you could shake a Clouser Minnow at. The action’s hot, the fish are hungry, and the striper runs are drawing both conventional and fly rodders to the salt—so if you think bass fishing’s only for the inner lakes, think again. Heading south, Canyon Lake in Texas is holding its own even as late summer heat lingers. It’s a technical lake thanks to all those rock piles and stained water, but Largemouth Bass are still hitting for patient anglers flipping plastic worms in the grass. Water levels are low, so it’s smart to target flooded timber or sneak your streamer into those rocky pockets early and late in the day. And with guads, spotted, and even smallmouth bass in the mix, it’s a blast for anyone who likes variety. Don’t miss out on the tournament scene either. The Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash is coming to Lake Fork, Texas this September, with a massive payout that’ll make you rethink mowing your lawn next weekend. This event’s famous for giant fish—amateurs regularly land bass in the 8-10 pound class, so grab your biggest topwater, practice your “surprised face,” and get ready to stand in the winner’s circle. And for weekend warriors, American Bass Anglers continue to run affordable, locally accessible tournaments all fall—the perfect way to test your skills without breaking the bank. If records are your thing, folks are still chasing legends north of the Mason-Dixon. Pennsylvania’s bass records—both largemouth and smallmouth—have stood for decades, not so much because the fish aren’t out there but because the catch-and-release ethic runs deep. If you’re chasing a true trophy, those Appalachian streams and lakes still have surprises left, especially as fall cools the water. For my fly-fishing kin, don’t sleep on smaller water.

Whether you throw bugs at river mouths or prefer pitching heavy cover with gear that doubles as a winch, this week’s update has something for everyone who loves spotting green backs and bronzebacks. Let’s start with the news that’s had folks turning heads in Texas: Lake Fork is blowing up right now with the legendary Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash tournament wrapping up its September run. This three-day extravaganza drew hundreds of hardcore anglers from around the country with $550,000 up for grabs, but you didn’t need pro credentials, just a willingness to grind for those hourly big bass payouts. The biggest fish brought to the scales turned more than a few heads with double-digit largemouth making a show — don’t worry, east Texas still has those giants if a new PB is on your fall goals list according to Sealy Outdoors. Just a few hours south in Austin, Lady Bird Lake saw a near-legendary largemouth catch back in February, with Willie Pipkin bagging a beast that tipped the scales at 14.05 pounds and stretched nearly 28 inches. The Texas Parks and Wildlife scoreboard says that’s one for the ages, and just another reminder that urban waters can hide monsters if you’re stealthy with your flies or plastics. Don’t sleep on the possibility of stumbling into a trophy in the heart of a city park. Meanwhile, the National Professional Fishing League keeps the tournament scene electric, with this year’s circuit hitting big name bass waters like Santee Cooper, Lake Norman, and Logan Martin. The buzz right now is all about prepping for the season’s final throwdown on Logan Martin in Alabama, prime water for both largemouth and hard-fighting spotted bass. If you’re looking for fresh venues to scout for that fall trip, these tournament stops read like a bucket list: sprawling grass mats in Florida, rocky ledges in Tennessee, and fat river fish in New York’s St. Lawrence. FishUSA calls Florida the land of giants, especially around Lake Toho and Okeechobee — and yes, both are equally famous for monster largemouth and Florida-strain drama. Further up the coast, Massachusetts anglers have quietly been putting up eye-popping numbers. According to MassWildlife, this September saw Chicopee River cough up a 25-inch largemouth and Assawompset Pond popped out a 23-inch smallmouth — proof there’s more than trout in New England and clear rivers can serve up serious bass for anyone ready to work a streamer or a plastic worm. But it’s not all big fish and photo ops. In Maine, fisheries officials just dropped emergency rules on certain lakes to battle invasive largemouth, especially in Washington County’s West Musquash Lake. They’ve axed size and bag limits entirely to encourage anglers to help restore native cold-water fisheries threatened by illegally introduced bass.

Let’s kick things off with a little record-breaking buzz. Just this spring, Eric Lewis landed an absolute unit of a largemouth at Fort Phantom Hill Lake in Texas—a whopping 13.33 pounds back on March 3, 2024. That’s not just a beast, it’s the kind of fish we all dream about. And it’s not the only slab being hauled in lately—the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division’s leaderboard still features some jaw-dropping classics, with largemouth topping 22 pounds and shoal bass in the 8-pound club. That said, the chatter among local guides is all about plenty of solid 5- to 8-pounders popping up as the fall bite heats up. Texas lakes are on fire right now. Lake Athens is serving up quality bass in 8 to 12 feet of grass, and Lake Austin’s milfoil edges are producing after-dark bruisers for folks dragging creature baits or skipping jigs under deep docks. Word out of Local legend Bryan Cotter from Texas Hawgs is that the night bite on Austin is as good as it gets—skip a big jig way under those docks and hold on tight because the big ones are lurking at the deep end. Over on Lake Arrowhead, white bass action is fast and furious on main lake humps with topwaters and slabs. For those who live for early mornings or cool nights, you’re in the sweet spot. Georgia fans—don’t sleep on the Satilla River. According to Georgia Outdoor News, water temps have dropped, the river’s cleaned up, and the bass are on the chew. The is what us “locals” wait for—when those crisp nights flip the switch and every log or grass pocket could hold a trophy. Spinnerbaits and soft plastics popped along cover are pulling steady numbers, and if you’re itching for a shot at a river brute, this is your moment. Tournament circuits are prepping for a seriously epic run in 2026. Bassmaster just revealed that their B.A.S.S. Nation schedule will hit some of the hottest and most loved bass fisheries in the game, including Cherokee Lake in Tennessee, Toledo Bend over in Louisiana, the mighty Mississippi River in Wisconsin, and a summer send-off on Lake Champlain in New York. Every stop here comes with trophy potential and that mix of current, cover, and diverse structure that makes even fly anglers dig out their spinning gear to test new waters. And being part of these big circuits as a local bass nut is like getting a front-row seat to the Super Bowl of angling—don’t miss spectator days, demo tents, or the contagious energy at the weigh-ins. Now if you want a real adventure and some peace and quiet, early fall is when the shallow grass flats and rocky points on many big southern lakes are untapped goldmines. Drag a worm, toss a topwater at dawn, or try something offbeat—sometimes fly fishing classic patterns over submerged grass or riffles will snatch a bonus smallmouth or a wild largemouth.

Whether you’re into flipping jigs, tossing topwater, or even waving a fly in the lilies, the country’s lakes and rivers have been coughing up jaw-dropping bass, a few quirky surprises, and plenty of local chatter you’ll want in on. Let’s start with a real headline grabber: Earlier this week, Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks served up a win for Kaden Messina at the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League. Messina slammed home a two-day total of 10 bass weighing in at 35 pounds, 6 ounces, scoring his first BFL win—and the big fish action there is only heating up as shad schools get restless and bass push shallower. If you’re after post-summer lunkers, Lake of the Ozarks is a must-hit hotspot right now, and with local boats reporting big topwater bites early in the morning, it’s fly angler heaven if you’re patient with poppers and streamers. Speaking of rare catches, let’s talk about Tennessee’s Cordell Hull Lake, where an angler reeled in a bright orange bass. Wired2Fish reports this strange but totally legit catch has local biologists buzzing. The fish looked like a koi but was all bass at heart—proof that you never really know what’s on the end of your line! Down in Texas, Joe Pool Reservoir is still flexing its largemouth muscle. Just this spring, a new black crappie record was set, but bass anglers are still chasing old legends—like Rick Vallejo’s 14.45-pound monster. If you’re near Dallas-Fort Worth, local anglers recommend slowing down with soft plastics and keeping your cast-wise, especially on overcast days. Alabama’s Prattville and Montgomery areas are also producing, with the Fishbrain community logging thousands of largemouth and spotted bass catches lately. Gerald Wallace Lake Number Two is making noise for chunky largemouth, and the Alabama River Canal is holding steady for mixed-bag action. Fly fishers are finding bass eager to chase anything minnow-shaped, especially as the water clarity and flows stay stable. On the competitive side, college bass fishing is revving up for the new season. The Bass Pro Shops School of the Year presented by Abu Garcia just dropped their pre-season poll—Drury University, Adrian College, and Auburn University are all top picks. Bethel University is the only team in this current pack with a previous title, so everyone’s hungry this time around. The season promises hard-fought derbies and maybe a new upstart claiming the top spot. Before I wrap up, a quick nod to the saltier side: The 71st Annual Long Beach Island Fall Surf Fishing Classic in New Jersey is underway through November. They’ve beefed up the prize structure (bonus cash for the largest fluke on September 25!) and are keeping photo contests rolling on social media.

Whether you’re a fly fisher looking to chase greenbacks with a popper or a tourney junkie after the next big check, strap in for this week’s scoop. First off, notable catches have been making some serious waves. Down on Lake Mead, the 2025 WON Bass Lake Mead Open crowned Dylan Denny as the big winner just a couple days ago, with Kevin Hugo and Todd Tobiasson right behind him. Meanwhile, Eric Johnson has been pulling pigs out of Wequaquet, dropping jaws with his stringers, and Mike Mercier recently took top honors at Lake Cochituate for American Bass Anglers—a solid reminder that Massachusetts can hold its own when it comes to lunker hunting, even if we all wish it was spring in Texas sometimes. Speaking of records, if you’re the bucket-list type, check out Devils River in Texas—recent reports show largemouths nudging past 10 pounds there. That kind of fish will ruin you for the little stuff, at least until you get humbled trying to beat it again per the Texas Parks and Wildlife numbers. Hot spots? Oh man, this late summer and early fall it’s all about the transition bite. Anglers in the know are crushing it at Lake Russell (where a father-daughter team just took first at the American Bass Anglers event, which is straight-up wholesome, if you ask me). If you’re more a Southeast chaser, folks on the Harris Chain in Florida are stacking up quality bass, and Lake Blackshear in Georgia is having a phenomenal season—Dwayne Smith and Sam Moody have both made headlines there in the last few weeks. Word on the water from The Bass Cast is that Lake Mead is back and putting out solid numbers for both pros and weekend warriors. And don’t overlook that Eufaula, Alabama is set to host the big American Fishing Tour National Championship in 2025. Now is the time to scout if you want to be ahead of the pack. Here’s some news from the industry side: ICAST 2025 just wrapped up, spotlighting the latest gear over in Orlando and hinting at more game-changing electronics and lures heading to shelves soon. For those who follow the policy game, the sport's trade groups—like the American Sportfishing Association—are keeping an eye on new lead tackle regulations and shark depredation off the Atlantic coast, which might matter for the striped bass enthusiasts among us (if you ever swap tactics and want to hit the brine). If you want to immerse yourself in the bass community, this is expo season. The Bass Cast has an ultimate list of fishing expos lined up across Virginia, the Carolinas, and beyond. These shows give you the chance to rub elbows with legends, score that hard-to-find rod, or just get the scoop on new trends—word is, KVD himself is making an appearance in Lexington, NC.

Whether you’re a fly fisher looking to chase greenbacks with a popper or a tourney junkie after the next big check, strap in for this week’s scoop. First off, notable catches have been making some serious waves. Down on Lake Mead, the 2025 WON Bass Lake Mead Open crowned Dylan Denny as the big winner just a couple days ago, with Kevin Hugo and Todd Tobiasson right behind him. Meanwhile, Eric Johnson has been pulling pigs out of Wequaquet, dropping jaws with his stringers, and Mike Mercier recently took top honors at Lake Cochituate for American Bass Anglers—a solid reminder that Massachusetts can hold its own when it comes to lunker hunting, even if we all wish it was spring in Texas sometimes. Speaking of records, if you’re the bucket-list type, check out Devils River in Texas—recent reports show largemouths nudging past 10 pounds there. That kind of fish will ruin you for the little stuff, at least until you get humbled trying to beat it again per the Texas Parks and Wildlife numbers. Hot spots? Oh man, this late summer and early fall it’s all about the transition bite. Anglers in the know are crushing it at Lake Russell (where a father-daughter team just took first at the American Bass Anglers event, which is straight-up wholesome, if you ask me). If you’re more a Southeast chaser, folks on the Harris Chain in Florida are stacking up quality bass, and Lake Blackshear in Georgia is having a phenomenal season—Dwayne Smith and Sam Moody have both made headlines there in the last few weeks. Word on the water from The Bass Cast is that Lake Mead is back and putting out solid numbers for both pros and weekend warriors. And don’t overlook that Eufaula, Alabama is set to host the big American Fishing Tour National Championship in 2025. Now is the time to scout if you want to be ahead of the pack. Here’s some news from the industry side: ICAST 2025 just wrapped up, spotlighting the latest gear over in Orlando and hinting at more game-changing electronics and lures heading to shelves soon. For those who follow the policy game, the sport's trade groups—like the American Sportfishing Association—are keeping an eye on new lead tackle regulations and shark depredation off the Atlantic coast, which might matter for the striped bass enthusiasts among us (if you ever swap tactics and want to hit the brine). If you want to immerse yourself in the bass community, this is expo season. The Bass Cast has an ultimate list of fishing expos lined up across Virginia, the Carolinas, and beyond. These shows give you the chance to rub elbows with legends, score that hard-to-find rod, or just get the scoop on new trends—word is, KVD himself is making an appearance in Lexington, NC.

Let’s kick things off with a look at some recent hot spots you’ll want to check out. Georgia is absolutely delivering right now. On Lake Allatoona, Matt Driver says September bass are moving between deep water and the shallows as the late summer transition hits—schooling spotted bass around main lake points are smashing topwaters at first light, and drop shot rigs are still money once the sun pops up. Word on the dock is the shallow bite will keep getting better as the water cools off, so dust off those shallow crankbaits and spinnerbaits for dusk runs. Down at Carters Lake, guide Robbie Linginfelter is finding this to be a killer month for trophy spotted bass—pick up a jerkbait or topwater and hit those long points at the mouths of creeks. And don’t sleep on Lake Lanier—the topwater bite is back with Skimmers and Chug Bugs, especially if there’s a little breeze. Remember: let that bait rest after a missed strike. Bass will often come back for seconds, so keep your cool and your retrieve steady. If you want numbers and size, the West Point area’s brush piles and ledges are stacked with largemouths—especially on deep-diving crankbaits or Texas-rigged worms. The Chattahoochee up north of the 219 bridge has held up with shallow grass bites on Pop Rs and Whopper Ploppers. For the finesse crowd, drop shot rigs and shaky heads around docks and bridge pilings are still getting it done. Out west in California, Adam Hinkle’s recent outings—as featured by Tactical Bassin—are proof that big bait fishing is still putting trophy fish in the boat. Glide baits, wake baits, and topwaters have been key for coaxing bruiser largemouths in those ultra-clear San Diego area lakes. Let’s talk notable catches—just last week in the Cheat Lake Anglers Bass Club Yough Lake tournament, Ray and Debbie Grimes hauled in 14.27 pounds to snag first place, including a chunky 4.20-pound largemouth for lunker honors. Across the board, the team landed 53 bass with a solid 2.25-pound average, reminding us that night tournaments are a great way to dodge the late-summer sun and find active fish. Meanwhile, over at the Bassmaster High School Combine in Decatur, Alabama, nearly 100 teenage anglers went head-to-head in casting, distance, and technical challenges. Logan Brown from Virginia walked away with both the Overall Skills and Technical Challenge victories, proving the future of bass fishing is in good hands and full of competitive fire and technical skill. Longest cast of the event? Will Heath from Virginia dropped a staggering 64.4 yards using a topwater bait—talk about covering water! Beyond the bites, there’s a lot of community buzz around new tech in the sport.

First off, the fish are moving! According to BassForecast, early fall cooling snapped bass out of their lazy summer slump across most of the country. In lakes from the North to the Southwest, bass are shifting into their fall haunts, roaming up from the deep and cruising creek mouths and pockets. If you’re a fan of covering water with streamers or poppers, now’s the time: low light in the morning and evening and cloud cover are magic windows for shallow water eats. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and even drop-shots are pulling in solid fish in the Pacific Northwest and California. Work topwaters early, then go deeper with jigs when the sun’s up. Trust me, this pattern is still rolling for another couple weeks before lake turnover gums up the works, so don’t snooze on this window. Minnesota anglers, listen up — there’s a big change brewing. OutdoorNews.com reveals that the DNR is hustling to legalize a year-round bass season. That means more days to chase smallies and largemouths, especially catch-and-release. If you want your say, the public comment period runs ‘til late October. More time on the water chasing bronzebacks and bucketmouths? Yes, please! If you’re in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan or craving a different kind of competition, how about a virtual smallmouth tournament? Escanaba’s Upper Peninsula Tournament Fishing league is running an open water event starting September 21. All you need is the FishDonkey app: catch your smallie, snap a pic, release the fish, and you’re in the running. It’s perfect for those who like a challenge but want the flexibility to fish anywhere. Big payout if your entry holds up. Let’s talk hotspots. Maryland DNR’s fishing report has some pro tips for Middle Bay bass and stripers. Structure in less than 20 feet near the Bay Bridge piers or rocky shorelines at Thomas Point and Sharps Island Light are drawing bites on soft plastic jigs and live bait. Early morning, late evening, or overcast days are best. Meanwhile, up in Connecticut, On the Water reports epic late-summer topwater blitzes for striped bass and bluefish. Blitzing fish around reefs and rips like Fishers, Bartletts, and The Race are being smashed on walkers and eels. It’s not strictly largemouth or smallmouth, but for fly anglers who like action, you can’t go wrong chasing these saltwater cousins when they’re “in.” For the competitive crowd, B.A.S.S. just dropped the 2026 opens schedule. Big-name waters include the Kissimmee Chain in Florida, Sam Rayburn in Texas, and Lake Erie in New York. They’re shaking up tech rules — forward-facing sonar only allowed in selected events, so old schoolers and gadget gurus both get their shot.

Whether you’re casting to lily pads or flipping flies under docks, things have been heating up from Tennessee’s grass-choked rivers to the sprawling flats of Florida. Let’s start with some fresh headlines out of Kentucky Lake, where veteran local Justin Berger finally shook off years of close calls and netted his first MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League Super tournament win. In dramatic style, Berger hauled in 34 pounds, 9 ounces across two punishing days, sealing his victory with a limit-packing topwater bite and a pair of chunky 4½-pounders. The win at home meant more than cash for Berger—it was the sweet taste of redemption after too many heartbreaks on his favorite water. Keep an eye on Kentucky Lake as cooler temps set in and topwater magic keeps the action rolling, especially for us folks who love the thrill of sight-casting and watching that surface explosion. According to Marshall County Daily, Berger’s win shows there’s always room for patience and a bit of old school grit in bass fishing—reminder for all you fly throwers out there that the classic approaches still pay off. If you’re charting your next “big bass” road trip, don’t ignore the classics. FishUSA highlights Florida’s Lake Okeechobee—still the heavyweight champ for double-digit largemouths and wild grass flats where a frog or streamer can disappear fast. For the more adventurous, Lake Tohopekaliga (“Lake Toho” to regulars) keeps kicking out trophy largemouths as summer winds down, especially around hydrilla and pads. And if you’re longing for a big slurp after casting a deer hair popper, Florida’s mild fall means active bass in shallow water practically year-round. Texas remains a bucket list destination too. Local Texas Parks and Wildlife data just updated the record books, with Joe Pool Reservoir recently producing a 14.45-pound largemouth. East Texas grass lakes like Fork and Sam Rayburn keep tempting big-bass hunters with heavy cover—and those reservoirs fish big for both gear anglers and fly folks willing to heave big flies on deep sink tips or work the banks with finesse poppers. Tournament action is still firing across the heartland. In Wisconsin, Steve Lopez just earned his first MLF Tackle Warehouse Invitationals championship on the mighty Mississippi River, grabbing a hundred grand and a spot in REDCREST 2026. Look for the river bite to stay hot into October as fish chase schools of bait mid-river and hold tight to wing dams—a pattern that can pay off for both spin and fly anglers with the right presentation. Hot spot alert for anyone close to Georgia: Lake Blue Ridge and Lake Sinclair have been producing strong with the fall transition, according to Georgia Outdoor News. Reports are all about Trick Worms and Senkos, but this is prime time for fly fishers to walk a popper, mouse, or flashy streamer along drop-offs at dawn and dusk.

Let’s kick things off with some serious bragging rights: 2025 has seen some wild bass fishing action. Easton Fothergill and Dustin Connell took the tourney world by storm this season, pushing the competitive scene into high gear with their strategic prowess and big-bag weigh-ins according to The Bass Cast. These two are now the names to chase if you’re dreaming of a podium moment. Speaking of epic hauls, Raymond Trudeau just grabbed the spotlight with a championship win and Angler of the Year honors at Lake Toho down in Florida. If you’re wondering where the grassroots and pro anglers are rubbing elbows, Lake Toho’s the destination you want circled on your road trip map. Meanwhile, Aaron Orsi set a new tournament record up at Mashpee-Wakeby, proving that even northeastern waters can cough up some serious monsters according to American Bass Anglers. Looking for a five-pounder on the fly? Make plans for Guntersville Lake in Alabama or Candlewood Lake up in Connecticut because these spots are putting up giant numbers week after week. Bassmaster just ranked Guntersville as one of America’s best, and with the tournament circuit swarming through there, the fish seem to get more aggressive every year. And hey, if you’re all about finesse and shallow water, don’t sleep on the Connecticut River this fall—there’s grassroots tournament action there almost every weekend with reports of bronzebacks busting topwater baits at sunrise. For a different scene, the tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River have lit up the Tidal Fish forums, with plenty of locals sharing stories of double-digit days and smallmouth making surprise appearances on classic poppers. If you’re gear-crazy or want to elbow up next to the pros, expo season is about to get wild. Richmond’s fishing show is the old-school reunion you didn’t know you needed, and Augusta County’s expo is bringing in more vendors and guides than ever, plus some colorful personalities straight from your YouTube feed say The Bass Cast. Winter might slow the bite but never the bass talk. Here’s some off-beat news: student anglers are stacking up club trophies across Alabama and Texas, putting grown pros on notice. The Alabama Student Angler Bass Fishing Association and East Alabama High School Bass Tournament both packed massive weigh-ins this month, and more schools are rolling out bass squads in 2025 than ever before. If you’re looking for the next big thing, check out a high school weigh-in—these young guns fish like they’ve got something to prove. For the fly crowd, if you think bass aren’t spooky-smart, recent tourney pressure on the Southeast’s big lakes has these fish haunted by boat noise and pressured presentations, so now more than ever, subtle topwater flies, deer hair divers, and slow-walked frogs are the ticket for the legends lurking in the pads.

If you’re itching for tight lines or curious about where the bite’s hot, I’ve got this week’s best bass news—whether you’re fanatical about largemouth on a six-weight or just love swapping stories down at the ramp. First, let’s get right to the action. Notable recent catches? Clarks Hill in Georgia has been serving up some absolute donkeys lately. According to local guide David Earl Thorton from Franklin Gun Shop, tournament weights are regularly hitting that 19 to 22-pound mark. Ed at Lakeside Chevron says the mayfly hatch has the bass in a feeding frenzy up on the Oconee River—if you’re chasing topwater blowups, get out early and late, throw buzzbaits and poppers, and hang on tight. Over at Lake Blue Ridge, the water is mostly clear with temps holding around 82, and the bass are busting at daylight. Eric Welch of Welch’s Guide Service swears by a mixed bag of topwater classics—think walking baits, poppers, and more[Gone Outdoors]. If big river smallmouth make your fly reel sing, Ohio and Pennsylvania rivers are lighting it up with healthy bronze backs and catfish, according to Outdoor News. Michigan’s rivers are also holding smallmouth, and with water temps cooling down as fall approaches, the bite is about to go full send. On the tournament side, big changes are rolling through the world of pro bass fishing. Major League Fishing and B.A.S.S. are reinventing the game for 2026 with fresh rules and even a coin-flip to decide some lake assignments. The National Professional Fishing League has been shaking things up, offering purist formats and new stops on legendary waters like Santee Cooper, St. Lawrence River, and Lake Hartwell. With cheating scandals resulting in zero-tolerance policies—like mandatory polygraphs and harsh disqualifications—the tours are dialed in on integrity and fan engagement. The future’s looking bright, so tune in for wild weigh-ins, new baits, and a spotlight on skill over just tech. The NPFL’s fall stops should offer epic coverage, plus local favorites and tips from pros like Corey Casey and Hunter Sales. Whether you’re into cranking, flipping, or slinging flies, these events are must-watch. Looking for the next place to test your luck and loops? Arizona’s Lake Havasu is famous for huge redear sunfish, but don’t sleep on the bassin’. Largemouth and striped bass are aggressive in those clear desert waters, especially around the submerged trees in Roosevelt Lake and all along the Colorado River. Fly anglers love the river’s bug-rich stretches—hunt bass in the slow backwaters or drift poppers near overhanging limbs. For folks prepping their gear for fall, keep an eye out for local expos. The Richmond Fishing Expo in Virginia draws thousands each January, delivering seminars, tackle vendors, big-name pros, and — let’s be honest — some top-notch regional gossip and new gear to ogle.

Augusta Co This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 283 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI7057783752 This is Artificial Lure, your resident bass-fishing whisperer, coming at you with today’s bass buzz—fresh off the water and straight to your feed. Grab your net and your favorite fly rod, because late summer patterns are changing, and there’s a feast of updates to chew through for every hardcore bass chaser out there. First up, let’s talk notable catches. Nothing gets a bass-head’s heart thumping like hearing about epic hauls, and this week has delivered. Out in Western New York, smallmouth bass are crushing crayfish and shiner presentations, according to the latest weekly reports. Shore anglers are pulling in football-shaped bronzebacks from the mighty Niagara and scandalously clear stretches of the Great Lakes. And just a week ago, Amy LoPresti hooked a 33-plus-pound salmon near Point Breeze during the fall derby, snagging a $20,000 grand prize. While that’s salmon, not bass, it just shows that Northern waters are sizzling right now for big, aggressive fish of all stripes. On down to Maryland, the largemouth bass bite is slipping into those classic, cooler-water fall routines. Word from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources is clear: Bass are hugging tight to lily pads, grass flats, and sunken timber, especially early and late. Topwater is on fire—think frogs and poppers skittered over weeds or paddletails in the grass. Spin a wacky rig under floating mats or throw a jerkbait along the spatterdock, and you’ll be in for some hot topwater action. If you like wading or fly-fishing light tackle, the upper Potomac’s low and clear water has made for smallmouth bass nearly as cagey as those Western driftless browns. Cruising west, the Texas fishing forecast is solid gold for morning people. Bois d’Arc Lake is delivering on topwater frogs, poppers, and Texas rigs pitched to brushy timber. Marc Mitchell of Mitchell’s Guide Service says the topwater window lasts about half an hour at sunrise, so you’ve gotta be quick. Inks Lake’s dock anglers are scoring with bone-colored walking baits at sunup, then switching to jig bites in the deeper rocks as the heat kicks up. For fly fishers, all this dock and shallow brush action means endless spaces to test streamers and big terrestrials. Want to chase the pro scene or strut your stuff? The 2025 tournament season is going full throttle with both B.A.S.S. Elites crushing it and the National Professional Fishing League’s six-stop tour. Hot spot alert: Santee Cooper in South Carolina already saw massive limits, and Lake Norman in North Carolina is up soon on the calendar, drawing the Southeast’s sharpest sticks. Bassmaster’s most recent podcasts have been obsessing over fall transition patterns, with Elite pro Matty Wong dropping secrets for maximizing your Neko rig—think dialing in braid, leader, and presentations as bass push onto points and into brush. Definitely a must-listen if you’re looking to finesse more fish as the season cools. And let’s not forget the homegrown heroes.

Artificial Lure here with your weekly scoop on what’s hot in the world of U.S. bass fishing—and this week, it’s all about big catches, prime locations, and some fun stories that fly fishers will love. September’s been a wild ride, with tournament action and big bass making headlines from coast to coast. Let’s start out West at California’s Clear Lake. Reed Frazier had a tournament day for the ages, sacking up two bass over 9 pounds—yup, you heard that right—anchoring a 38-pound bag. The key? Putting a Crush City Mooch Minnow on those cruising fish in 10-20 feet of water and using live electronics to stay locked on his targets. Meanwhile, kayak angler Matthew Brannon pulled in a jaw-dropping 26.5-pound five-fish limit. His secret was slow-rolling a chatter bait against docks and grass near the bank. The top fish are shallow, and they’re all about the bait moving up—a classic clue for fly anglers looking to imitate those movements with big streamer patterns. If you’re itching to catch your own toads, here are a few hot spots to circle on the map this September: In the Midwest, Lake Erie is stacked with smallmouth, especially around reefs and drop-offs. Mille Lacs in Minnesota is firing on all cylinders, with weedlines loaded up for fall feeding frenzies. If you head to the Great Plains, Lake Texoma straddling Oklahoma and Texas is the place to find hybrids and largemouth moving along ledges, while Harlan County Lake in Nebraska and Fort Peck in Montana have rocky banks holding plenty of aggressive bass. Spinnerbaits and soft jerkbaits like Zoom Flukes are working magic right now, but don't skip tossing finesse rigs around suspended fish—fly folks, think weighted clousers or crayfish imitations for that same bottom-hugging action. Texas is always bass central, and local guides say the topwater bite is on fire early and late in the day across Lake Hawkins and Jacksonville. As the temperatures hover in the upper 80s to low 90s, look for grass on humps and underwater points—Texas-rigged worms, creature baits, or big streamers and surface poppers for fly fans will get the strikes. The key across much of Texas lately is to watch for schooling bass erupting for just moments at a time—have your gear (or rigged fly) ready and move fast when the action pops off. Tournament buzz has been nonstop in the Midwest, with Michigan’s West Michigan Bass Series underway and payouts so big, they’ll make your rod shake. Over in Colorado, the Ridgway Smallmouth Bass Classic handed out a $10,000 top prize for the most smallmouths turned in. Why? Because in Colorado’s high country, smallmouth are considered invasive and are outcompeting native trout. Fly anglers can totally get in on these removal tournaments—grab a streamer rod and help keep those waters wild! Some cool news for the younger crowd—the 2025 Bassmaster High School All-State Fishing Team was announced, bringing together 33 of the best student anglers from across 25 state This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you haven’t been following tournament action, you’ve been missing some wild rides. Just last week, Mike Mercier snagged the win at the ABA Division 36 showdown on Lake Cochituate, keeping Massachusetts on the map for standout catches. Meanwhile, a father-daughter duo stole hearts and hardware on Lake Russell. Not to be outdone, down in Georgia, Jason Law cleaned up at Lake Blackshear, where Sam Moody also recently locked in a district championship. It’s been a busy summer for the local circuits too, with record weights and new champions popping up faster than topwater strikes—just check out the results rolling in from the American Bass Anglers Tour. Tournament weights are pushing higher than ever, and if you follow the pro circuits, Pat Schlapper out of Wisconsin just dropped another win in the B.A.S.S. Elite series. He’s proof that raw river grinding can get you to the big stage, and his Mississippi River victory showed the value of patience and picking apart grass beds with surgical precision. Over at the Bassmaster Elite on Lake St. Clair, the competition was so fierce that even getting into the top 50 meant hauling in nearly 20 pounds per day. Those Michigan smallmouth are fat, sassy, and world class. The highlight for many was watching Dakota Eberry coax leviathans up off the clean grass beds, proving some quirks of bass behavior never change, no matter how advanced your electronics get. Speaking of tech, there’s a mini-revolution going on. Forward-facing sonar is helping level the playing field, so even weekend warriors are finding their share of tank largemouth and smallies. That’s raising minimum weights for tournament cuts everywhere—the bass are getting smarter, but so are anglers. Hot spots this year? You can’t go wrong up north—Lake St. Clair and the Mississippi River near La Crosse are red hot for numbers and trophies. The Missouri River in Nebraska has been quietly producing fat summer bass, especially if you love flipping grass with a jig or creature bait. Over in Indiana, Pine and Stone Lakes just kicked out a couple of five-pounders during a weather-shortened derby, and anglers raving about Chatterbaits and soft plastics on the main lake. If you’re wading into this as a fly angler, try shallow flats, riprap, and grass edges at dawn—popper flies or big streamers can absolutely wallop late-summer bass. Want up-to-the-minute conditions? Regional reports from places like Holter Lake in Montana and the Blackfoot are showing the bite’s still solid into late August, with low light periods and a subtle retrieve getting it done. Local expos are on the horizon too—if you want to nerd out over gear, meet pros, or share a tall tale, plan for those January shows across Virginia and North Carolina.

For anglers chasing those bragging rights, Miami, Florida just saw a monster landed—a true trophy largemouth bass stretching out 23 inches and tipping the scale at 8 pounds. Now, if you’ve ever worked Miami’s urban waters, you know most folks are pulling bass in the 2-3 pound range, so an 8-pounder is the kind of fish that’ll get you your picture on the wall at the bait shop. That fish gave its captor a wild fight, and apparently, live bait was the secret weapon. According to Coastal Angler Magazine, a largemouth over 6 pounds down there is big news and rare enough that even steady hands and perfect timing might only see one or two in a season. Let’s hop over to some current hot spots across the country. If you’re looking for places where the bite’s been legit, Bassmaster just dropped its 2025 rankings for the best bass lakes in America. No surprise, the legendary Lake Fork in Texas snagged a top spot again, and word is this season’s topwater action at dusk is the stuff of dreams. Anglers in the know are also raving about Lake St. Clair up in Michigan—big bass moving shallow, gobbling up soft plastics and flies alike. Meanwhile, Guntersville in Alabama is still holding strong, especially with frogging in the grass matts. So if you need a road trip, these lakes ought to be on your fall hit list. Now, what about the competition scene? Chris Johnston just clinched back-to-back Angler of the Year titles for Bassmaster, which is no small feat given the talent out there. The pressure’s definitely on as we barrel toward the final major tournaments of the year, with a slew of young guns trying to unseat the favorites. If you fish tournaments or just like tracking who’s hot, Johnston’s momentum is worth watching. Who says late summer is slow? Up in the north, recent reports from The Alpena News say smallmouth bass are on a tear through the Cheboygan River in Michigan. Natural-colored soft plastics and white swimbaits seem to be the ticket—those river smallies are aggro before sunrise and just after sunset. The scene is tailor-made for anyone who digs swinging a streamer or twitching a popper on a fly rod. Good bites have also been turning up near rocks and bridges, so if you’re there, tie on something with a little flash and get to tossing. If you want to plan your next session, don’t sleep on the Georgia Wildlife Resources’ interactive fishing map—super handy for scouting proven waters, boat launches, and access points all through the state. Finally, for those wanting that salt-fresh fix, Chesapeake Bay is keeping things lively even as the stripers steal headlines. There’s still solid sea bass and flounder action closer inshore, and with cooler temps setting in, that bass bite promises to stay strong going into fall, per the latest fishing report from Angle This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s kick off with the biggest headline this week: the fall feeding frenzy is about to hit! BassForecast reports that a cool front and the new moon are coming together to flip the switch on largemouth and smallmouth activity, especially in the Great Plains, Midwest, and parts of the South. If you like to fish when the bite is lights out, you’ll want to focus on early mornings, dusk, or right before a storm rolls in. Overcast days mean bass stay active all day, so don’t waste those clouds. Now, for you “big bass or nothing” folks—listen up. Over in western Pennsylvania, Lake Wilma’s putting up some chunky largemouth, even though it barely covers 19 acres. The local advice? Hit smaller, overlooked waters; that’s where the hawgs are hiding, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Midwest bassers are still seeing solid weights in tournaments: at Pine and Stone lakes in Indiana last weekend, Steve Martin walked away with big bass honors for a 5.56-pound largemouth. Multiple five-pounders came to the scales despite dodging storms all morning. Hot baits lately? Chatterbaits, crankbaits, and jerkbaits early while the surface is cool. Don’t be shy with a jig in the deeper channels either, especially if you’re fly fishing and want to swing something meaty. Let’s swing south. Texas Hill Country lakes are holding steady as water temps hover in the 80s, and the grass bite is on at Lake Austin—think lightweight Texas rigs with green pumpkin or junebug worms, or even frogs pitched right into the mats. For bigger bass, drop shot or slow-rolled Carolina rigs in deeper water have been consistent. Lake Buchanan is showing morning topwater action on shallow rocks, but bigger bites are coming on deep crankbaits and jigs when the sun gets high. The Texas Parks and Wildlife weekly report says some lakes are slow, but there’s always a few big believers turning it on, especially as the weather cools. For those road-tripping or looking for events, the National Professional Fishing League just wrapped its big event on the Mississippi River, where big bass stole the show. Take note: St. Lawrence River, Lake Eufaula, and Logan Martin are all hot stops on the 2025 pro circuit this fall, so eyeball those if you’re chasing both bass and the big-league tourney vibe. On the East Coast, Maryland’s Chester River and Pooles Island are giving up bass (plus bonus blue cats if you want to mix things up). The upper Chesapeake is cooling off, which means those early morning and late evening popper bites are fire, according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. Even up in New York, the Erie Canal system is wide open and free this year—no tolls. Kayak anglers are having a blast around Widewaters, pulling largemouth out of the grass and wood. It’s the Erie Canal’s 200th birthday, so if you want to catch f This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let’s cut straight to the action. First up, if you like to chase big results, Lake Lanier in Georgia just erupted with some major local flavor. Over the weekend, Alex Prince from Blue Ridge bagged a total of six bass weighing a hair over 26 pounds at the final MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League Super Tournament of the season. Weather played tricks—nasty storms on Day 1, then slick bluebird skies on Day 2—but Prince kept his cool. The bead on his tactics? Trick baits like a Zoom Fluke and slow-rolled minnow imitations fished deep, around that magical 30-50 foot mark. For your fly fishers, that’s basically chucking streamers with extra patience and a long sinking line. His top fish was 5 pounds, 6 ounces—enough to snag the Big Bass Award too. The lake’s bite heats up when boat traffic dies down, so get there early or stay late for the best shot. Let’s chase the bite north: Rivers in Pennsylvania are running low and clear, setting the dinner table for hungry smallmouth. Anglers have been lighting up local waters for numbers and size, especially targeting the early morning low light if you want to mimic an emergent frog with your favorite hair bug or popper. Especially with water still running warm, expect those bass to be holding in deeper runs or hiding under shady structure along the banks. Kokomo vibes? Absolutely, and the Outdoor News fishing report is recommending patience on the retrieve for a surprise bruiser. Out in Iowa, largemouth action is picking up on lakes like Belva Deer and Big Hollow. The best play has been targeting bass that are sliding shallower during morning and evening. Daytime still sees ‘em hunkered deep, so think vertical presentations in timber, or try a slow-rolled fly along the drop-offs after sunset. Water temps are still in the low 80s out there, but the bite’s showing signs of that hungry pre-fall push. And for those tournament fans, this weekend Major League Fishing’s Challenge Cup hit St. Clair Lake in Michigan. The Texas-based father-son team of Alton Jones Sr. and Jr. absolutely crushed it, weighing more than 65 pounds and setting the bar with aggressive tactics and non-stop casting.

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 15:13:20 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here—your digital sidekick with this week’s hot bite on all things bass fishing across the good ol’ U.S. of A. Let’s cut straight to the action. First up, if you like to chase big results, Lake Lanier in Georgia just erupted with some major local flavor. Over the weekend, Alex Prince from Blue Ridge bagged a total of six bass weighing a hair over 26 pounds at the final MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League Super Tournament of the season. Weather played tricks—nasty storms on Day 1, then slick bluebird skies on Day 2—but Prince kept his cool. The bead on his tactics? Trick baits like a Zoom Fluke and slow-rolled minnow imitations fished deep, around that magical 30-50 foot mark. For your fly fishers, that’s basically chucking streamers with extra patience and a long sinking line. His top fish was 5 pounds, 6 ounces—enough to snag the Big Bass Award too. The lake’s bite heats up when boat traffic dies down, so get there early or stay late for the best shot. Let’s chase the bite north: Rivers in Pennsylvania are running low and clear, setting the dinner table for hungry smallmouth. Anglers have been lighting up local waters for numbers and size, especially targeting the early morning low light if you want to mimic an emergent frog with your favorite hair bug or popper. Especially with water still running warm, expect those bass to be holding in deeper runs or hiding under shady structure along the banks. Kokomo vibes? Absolutely, and the Outdoor News fishing report is recommending patience on the retrieve for a surprise bruiser. Out in Iowa, largemouth action is picking up on lakes like Belva Deer and Big Hollow. The best play has been targeting bass that are sliding shallower during morning and evening. Daytime still sees ‘em hunkered deep, so think vertical presentations in timber, or try a slow-rolled fly along the drop-offs after sunset. Water temps are still in the low 80s out there, but the bite’s showing signs of that hungry pre-fall push. And for those tournament fans, this weekend Major League Fishing’s Challenge Cup hit St. Clair Lake in Michigan. The Texas-based father-son team of Alton Jones Sr. and Jr. absolutely crushed it, weighing more than 65 pounds and setting the bar with aggressive tactics and non-stop casting. The event aired live on RFD-TV, proof positive that competitive bass fishing is booming on screens and at the ramp.

First up, let’s talk tournaments: Chris Johnston just clinched the 2025 Bassmaster Angler of the Year, and it all went down during the Bassmaster Elite Series on the Mississippi River. Johnston faced heavy winds and shifting water levels, which made those lunker bass even tougher to find, but he powered through and took home the crown. Local ace Kuphall put on a clinic working shallow, three-foot haunts and was bouncing between weed clumps, laydown trees, and any spot that could hold big fish. He wasn’t afraid to scramble for new territory when the river got rowdy—a true lesson for the rest of us when the conditions blow out our favorite spots. And for you big bass trophy chasers, heads up! Toledo Bend Lake in Texas just celebrated its conservation program with 81 replicas awarded for bass over 10 pounds. That’s right, eighty-one bass in double-digit territory! If your bucket list has a monster largemouth, this is the spot. Those deep timber lines and classic grass beds are producing again, so make sure your gear is ready and your drags are tuned. According to regional fishing reports, Northern California isn’t mad about it either, with easy bass limits coming out of lakes like Donner and Trinity, plus some strong action on the coastal reservoirs. Tournament fans, check out the Pro-Guide Batteries Bassmaster Elite coverage streaming from the Mississippi River. The upper pools are generating buzz for good reason, with anglers flipping frogs, buzzbaits, tubes, and jigs over submerged cover, punching through mats like it’s the last cast of the season. Schlapper from Wisconsin was grinding out bites in the wind and brought home some fat ones using a punch rig and Texas-rigged worms. If you like variety—and let’s be real, who doesn’t?—the river’s giving up both largemouth and smallmouth in all kinds of weird places. Even past the classic “smallmouthy” haunts, the fish are biting in areas that just look too shallow or trashy. Sometimes, weird equals big. For the weekend warriors who crave local intel, recent social posts show anglers like Nash landing fat 3.5-pounders in fun local tournaments. It’s all about keeping it light, having a laugh, and remembering that the next cast could be the story you’re telling all year. So what’s hot: - Mississippi River for tournament action and multi-species fun. - Toledo Bend for your shot at a true bass giant—don’t sleep on the grass lines. - California lakes going strong with reliable limit catches. - Any local pond or weeded bank after a summer shower, when the bass love to cruise the fresh current. Recent winds and water drops have made things interesting, but the key is adapting. If the juice is blown out, move into protected coves and let your flies drift just right.

Artificial Lure here with your weekly scoop on all things bass fishing—straight from the rivers, lakes, and dock gossip across the good ol’ United States. Let’s dive into what’s been getting lines tight and reels screaming this August. Let’s kick it off with some **monstrous recent catches**. Just this week, Outdoor Life shared a whopper of a story about 13-year-old Julian Her from California. This young gun wrangled a 63.7-pound white sea bass off Tomales Bay that’s got the IGFA eyeballing new records. Sure, the rules about extra help on the rod might throw a wrench in his world record dreams, but honestly, half the country’s still jaw-dropped just seeing the photos. It’s a good reminder to never underestimate the next generation of anglers—especially if you think you’ve wrangled big bass before! Back on the bass front, if you’re chasing largemouths, the old classics are still hot—none more so than Lake Okeechobee in Florida. According to FishingBooker’s latest report, the fall bass bite is about to crank up across the Shoal and Fisheating Creek. Clewiston and Belle Glade are also getting tons of boat traffic lately—folks are tossing Senkos and topwater frogs in the morning when the bite is turbocharged. So for those fly fishers itching to swap feathers for plastics, this might be your sign to visit Okeechobee and pitch to some true trophy fish. Up north, you gotta talk about the Upper Mississippi—Bassmaster is buzzing about recent tournaments where both largemouth and smallmouth populations are thriving. The day one leader at the latest shootout noticed a surge in smallmouth bites as the river crept higher. Guides say success all comes down to playing the current right. Translation for you fly rod warriors: work your streamer seams, focus on eddies, and remember you only have to be five feet off to miss that pod entirely. For you folks out West, Buena Vista Lakes and Lake Nacimiento in California are seeing some fun action. Tackle and Rod’s weekly fishing report says shorelines around rocks and trees are pumping out bass with creature baits and weedless jigs, especially towards dusk. The topwater bite is kicking on frogs and walking plugs—you toss a popper or frog fly near those tules at sundown, and odds are you’ll get rocked. If fierce competition gets your blood flowing, tournament season is rolling nationwide. The National Professional Fishing League is cranking through its 2025 schedule, hitting legendary hot spots from Santee Cooper to Lake Norman and wrapping up at Lake Hartwell in South Carolina this October. Meanwhile, up in Connecticut, club derbies are keeping the weekday grind alive—recent winners at Cheshire Reservoir and Assawompset Pond are measuring out some real hefty bucketmouths, according to the state’s sportfishing awards leaderboards.

If you’re a fly addict with an eye for green and brown, lend me your ear—there’s some splashy stuff to cover. First up, tournament energy is downright electric this week as the Bassmaster Elite Series finale charges into La Crosse, Wisconsin. Over a hundred of the country’s saltiest pros are stalking bigmouths and bronzebacks in Mississippi River Pools 7, 8, and 9, hoping to outwit both each other and the local fish. There’s $100,000 and Bassmaster Classic spots up for grabs. Anglers are whispering that subtle topwaters and mid-depth cranks are the keys, which is music to the fly crowd who love a feisty surface take. Fans are swarming Copeland Park for daily weigh-ins, vendors, and even a BassmastHER workshop designed just for the ladies. If you’re within casting distance of La Crosse, it’s a scene you don’t wanna miss, especially with the Angler of the Year trophy still up for grabs, according to WIZM News. On the big fish front, Illinois just can’t stay off the records page. Outdoor News reports the hybrid striped bass record there keeps getting a shakeup by determined anglers, with fish tipping the scales above 21 pounds in recent years. While this isn’t largemouth or smallie news, it shows the Midwest bite is hot and heavy—prime fly water to break out the big streamer rods for bass and bonus hybrids alike. Now for some boots-on-the-ground hotspot action. Upstate New York’s Sodus Bay is hands-down a largemouth magnet this week. Locals are nailing fish at first light, working weedbeds and islands with unweighted Senkos or cheeky topwater patterns. If it’s smallmouth you’re after, try grubs or worm imitations outside Port Bay—just get there early, before the water skiers churn things up. For fly folks, crayfish patterns bounced along the bottom are straight-up deadly. The lower Niagara River is still turning up good numbers, so if you’ve got a drift boat and a stack of streamers, it’s game on. That’s locked in by the latest from Outdoor News and On The Water. Looking to the South, Texas’s legendary Lake Fork is making noise for its big bass and superb summer fly action. The pros report the fish are laid up on brush piles and boat docks during the heat of the day but hitting frog patterns and streamers in shallow grass at sunup. Guide Alex Guthrie of Fly Fish Fork Guide Service says the early bite is “shallow and savage.” For anyone with a drift boat, floating a popping bug or woolly bugger along the pads is a Texas tradition that never gets old, per the Texas Parks and Wildlife fishing report. And if you’re hungry for new waters, consider Florida’s Crystal River area. Lake Rousseau and the Withlacoochee River are teeming with thick-shouldered largemouths right now. It’s clear water, so stealth and accurate casts rule the game—think long leaders and olive buggers if yo This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you love that drag-screaming, fly-flinging action, this week’s news is gonna get your blood pumping. Let’s kick it off deep in Texas, where young Caden Burpo just made every grown angler jealous. According to Outdoor Life, this 11-year-old reeled in a 10-pound largemouth bass from Bois d’Arc Lake, a relatively new 19,000-acre honey hole that’s already buzzing as the next big legend in Texas bassin’. Bois d’Arc is jammed with 4- to 6-pounders and, by the sounds of it, is loaded with flooded timber and Florida-strain lunkers—the same strain that put Lake Fork on the trophy bass map. The local guides are betting we’ll see some true tanks landed in the next few years, so fly and lure tossers, you’d be wise to pencil this spot on your trip list. Cruising over to Louisiana, there’s big talk about Bussey Brake Reservoir, officially recognized by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries as one of the country’s premier trophy fisheries. They’re rolling out new bass regs starting August 20th, bumping the max length limit up to 18 inches and putting strict “release immediate” rules on anything bigger. The LDWF even set up a certified scale right at the ramp for folks who want to log those unicorn catches before safely slipping them back. After a massive renovation in 2020, Bussey Brake is a hotbed for PBs and potential state records—if you’re after real giants, put this on your radar. Swinging over to the Carolinas, The Bass Cast just covered the latest tournament action: Chris Jones and Ed Owens took the Waccamaw River Summer Final with a five-bass bag tipping 14.65 pounds (with the best fish at 4.53 pounds). The river’s a “locals only” spot with solid numbers and some real chunkers, perfect if you like picking apart cover and reading moving water—a skill any fly angler can appreciate. The fall schedule is already up, so if you’re feeling competitive, sharpen those hooks and check it out. In case you want something fresh and maybe a bit less pressured, the National Professional Fishing League laid out their 2025 schedule, with stops on classic bass waters like Santee Cooper, Lake Norman, and the St. Lawrence River. Plenty of big bags and monster smallies were on parade this summer. Plus, league pros are talking up little baits for big bites—a nod to the finesse tackle crowd who knows how to coax those stubborn dog-days bass into eating. Now, I know some of you lean heavy on the fly rod and are always searching for the next “off the grid” experience. If that’s you, scope out the less-crowded upper Midwest and New England rivers, where cool water and healthy weed beds are keeping smallmouths fired up right into late summer, according to the most recent local fishing reports. Strip a streamer through a shadowy eddy and you might just forget you're not out west chasing trout.

Let’s kick off with some straight-up fish tales. Pennsylvania’s waters have been on fire with some head-turning smallmouth bass catches. The ongoing Sizzlin’ Summer Showdown tournament just saw Ty Helmick haul in a chunky 21.50-incher and Jacob Housman top the biggest smallie from Pennsylvania waters with a 21.75-inch brute. If you’re a fan of the fight, smallmouth this size will get your drag screaming and keep your stories spinning all season long—these are the kind of bronzebacks every river rat dreams about, and the Pennsylvania crowd is living it up. Speaking of hot spots, if you’re looking for a summer bass honey hole, Florida stands out, and not just for Disney. According to FishingBooker’s Labor Day roundup, lakes like Toho and Kissimmee around Orlando are loaded right now with quality largemouth bass. The beautiful thing? You can mix family fun at the parks with early morning topwater action on glass-calm lakes. If you’re a fly rod junkie, don’t sleep on those lily pads—frogs and poppers before sunrise are the ticket. Now, sliding over to Texas, it’s all about options and adaptability. The official Texas Parks and Wildlife fishing report is jammed with reliable bass action across the state. Early and late, work topwater baits on Eagle Mountain and hurry to shaded docks or deeper brush with soft plastics on Fayette Lake. On Inks Lake, bass are loving weedless swimbaits and spinnerbaits around shallow grass, giving that “swimming a bug” vibe that any fly angler should appreciate. When the sun pops, slow down and go deep—classic summertime structure gig. Upstate New York is bringing its A-game, too. The Erie Canal and local lakes are serving up both largemouth and smallmouth—all day, every day—and right now there aren’t even tolls for using the canal system, making access sweet and simple. Throw your favorite jitterbugs, poppers, or craw-imitating patterns on a fly rod, and you’re sure to get hit along weed edges or beneath overhangs. The summer heat means mornings and evenings are prime, but the fish are still there if you put in your time. Regulation hounds take note: New York just made some changes worth knowing—including adjusting sizes on sunfish and crappie and opening up some trout seasons—which means more year-round opportunities to round out that species list. Not to be left out, Arkansas is putting a new spin on conservation. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission just launched a program focused on using healthy female largemouth over ten pounds—caught in public waters—to spread big-bass genetics. So if you want the next state record to come out of your local lake, keep an eye on this effort, and maybe steer your own PB into a livewell.

The Erie Canal and local lakes are serving up both largemouth and smallmouth—all day, every day—and right now there aren’t even tolls for using the canal system, making access sweet and simple. Throw your favorite jitterbugs, poppers, or craw-imitating patterns on a fly rod, and you’re sure to get hit along weed edges or beneath overhangs. The summer heat means mornings and evenings are prime, but the fish are still there if you put in your time. Regulation hounds take note: New York just made some changes worth knowing—including adjusting sizes on sunfish and crappie and opening up some trout seasons—which means more year-round opportunities to round out that species list. Not to be left out, Arkansas is putting a new spin on conservation. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission just launched a program focused on using healthy female largemouth over ten pounds—caught in public waters—to spread big-bass genetics. So if you want the next state record to come out of your local lake, keep an eye on this effort, and maybe steer your own PB into a livewell.

He credits big gizzard shad and a live sonar game on desert impoundments like Saguaro, Canyon, Apache, and Roosevelt—wild rebound stories after golden algae kills. If you like technical fly fishing, think long casts to bait-schooled wolfpacks and intercepting current seams off points with sink-tip streamers—fast strips, big profiles, don’t blink. Tournament scene: AnglersChannel reports Kyle Kitts won the Phoenix Bass Fishing League event on the Arkansas River at Muskogee with 17-8, a legit summertime bag on a stingy system. That tells you shallow current, shade lines, and eddies are producing—perfect for a 6- to 8-weight with Clousers swung through seams at first light.

Smallmouth are fair to good in back eddies and current edges—textbook fly water. Toss buoyant baitfish patterns into soft pockets, then mend and let them swing. - Okoboji chain, IA: West Okoboji is reporting good largemouth of good size with mid-70s water temps. Weedline edges are the play—work swim flies or deer-hair divers over the deep weed wall mid-morning when the sun pins bluegill. - Lake Erie, PA: VisitErie notes it’s consistently ranked among top bass destinations in the U.S., and summer brings big bronzebacks along Presque Isle and main-lake humps. Go deep with full-sinking lines over rock in 20–35 feet, counting down to marks. Bonus: you can hop a local charter to learn the structure game. - Georgia curveball: GON reports Lake Oconee’s cooler-than-normal August temps have the topwater bite firing—rare for this month.

News you can use: - Fisheries management: Saving Seafood reports the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission advanced a new plan for Chesapeake striped bass rebuilding by 2029, with updated quotas and rec regs. If you’re chasing tidal largemouth in the Potomac or Upper Bay grass, expect more attention on bait abundance and heat-related fish care—good reminders to keep fish wet and shorten fight times. - Hatchery boost: Florida’s Richloam State Fish Hatchery shared they’re raising hybrid striped bass for statewide stocking.

Kicking things off, all eyes were glued to Saginaw Bay, Michigan this weekend for the Toyota Stage 7 of the MLF Bass Pro Tour. Tennessee’s very own Hatfield tore through the knockout round, yanking big largemouth out of shallow reeds and making the smallmouth bites look pretty meek by comparison. Hatfield even joked, “My hands hurt and my ribs hurt from setting the hook, but it’s awesome.” Imagine rib pain from big bass—now that’s a good problem to have! The MLF event has been a power fishing spectacle: swim jigs, bladed jigs and even some topwater getting brutal hits, with shallow cover and moving bass schools keeping pros scrambling minute-to-minute. If you’re looking to fish like a pro, Saginaw’s emergent weeds and offshore grass are the ticket right now—just bring some sturdy gear, and maybe a wrist brace, just in case, like Hatfield. Over on the Bassmaster Elite stage, Trey McKinney grabbed the spotlight at Lake St. Clair, another legendary basin straddling Michigan and Ontario. St. Clair has a knack for producing monster bags of smallmouth, and this week has been no exception with the top sticks hauling in fat bronzebacks. The Elite crowd raved about how crucial forward-facing sonar has become for finding and following roving smallmouth, but don’t think you can’t get them with more classic presentations if you know the sweet spots—think drop shot, tubes, and, dare we say, a well-placed fly pattern that mimics a goby. On the grassroots front, some seriously fun stuff is happening for “locals only” types and weekend warriors with the Bill Dance Nationwide Giant Bass Open. Here’s the deal: you don’t need a giant bass boat or a monster entry fee—$44.99 a year gets you in. Fish your region, log your best catches (by length or weight), and you’re in the draw for monthly cash and even a shot at a 21-foot Ranger and a Ford F-250 when the year wraps. Bill Dance is giving away a championship in Tennessee if 50,000 anglers sign up. Every entry is on public water, artificial lures only (hey, fly fans—flies count!), and there’s a bonus if you’re swinging for one of the country’s true giants in Texas, California, or Florida. If you’ve ever dreamed of that once-in-a-lifetime cast turning into something big, now’s your chance. Out west, Colorado wrapped up its Smallmouth Bass Classic at Ridgway Reservoir. This event helps control the invasive smallmouth population, but the action is fierce with $20,000 up for grabs and the entire tournament open to anglers of all skill levels. There’s no entry fee, just a park pass and a license, and the word on the water is smallmouth there are stacking up in deeper water—a prime opportunity for anyone who likes chucking streamers or big poppers and watching the take.

If you think the summer heat is making the bass sleepy, think again—big catches and hot spots are popping up everywhere and the stories are just as juicy as a fresh topwater frog at sunrise. First off, let’s talk notable catches. This week, Brandon Branham raised some eyebrows with an absolute tank out of Paintsville—an 8.56lb largemouth measuring a whopping 24.25 inches long. That beast was landed in late fall on the heels of a couple years of Threadfin shad stocking, and it’s got Kentucky anglers dreaming big for their next cast. Massachusetts is also putting up numbers in the Freshwater Sportfishing Awards, with recent leaders seeing a 23.5-inch largemouth caught in Cheshire Reservoir and a 23-inch smallmouth hauled from Assawompset Pond. These aren’t stories from some dusty record book—they’re fresh this August. Now, if you’re looking for where to go catch your own bragging-rights bass, this summer is showing signs that the North is calling. Minnesota’s Leech Lake, Lake Mille Lacs, and Lake Winnibigoshish are seeing stellar bass action right now. According to Jeff Sundin’s latest Minnesota Fishing Reports, bass are moving deep, chasing cooler water and cover as temps rise. Weed edges, cabbage beds, and deeper humps are the local’s picks. Whether you’re working jerkbaits, soft plastics, or tossing a ned rig, the bite is consistent and the fish are feeding heavy after the spawn. Out east, Saginaw Bay, Michigan just played host to an MLF Bass Pro Tour slugfest where Edwin Evers smashed 88 scorable bass (over 2 pounds) and stacked up more than 200 pounds over two days. What’s cool? He did it almost entirely on topwater buzzbaits, proving that fishing skill—not just tech—is what lands the giants. For those who love in-your-face summer action, buzzbaits and frogs around weed mats have been money from Michigan down to Georgia’s Lake Allatoona, where guides are shifting attention from main lake to those fall transition zones as bass start to move. As for the pros, the top series have brought some unexpected drama in 2025. The National Professional Fishing League just went nuclear and banned forward-facing sonar (FFS) outright. Major League Fishing took a lighter approach, tightening restrictions rather than going full old-school. The result? Suddenly, the focus is back on fishing roots. Skill matters, and anglers left staring at sonar screens are now learning to read water like the rest of us diehards. But not everything’s sunshine and lunkers. The cost of boats and basic tackle is sky-high thanks to tariffs and economic pressures. Local tournaments are feeling the squeeze, and participation is dipping with fewer boats on the ramps, leaving many weekend warriors wishing for a more accessible scene.

If you love a good lunker story or are itching for fresh water to explore, grab your fly box and settle in—let’s hit the latest, juiciest bass fishing buzz. Let’s kick things off with some real heavyweight news: Steve Jenkins just landed a 16.57-pound largemouth in Arizona, setting a new state record according to fishin48’s latest update. That’s a true wall-hanger—makes you wonder what those desert lakes are feeding these bass! If you’re out west, looks like Arizona’s milking more than just cacti these days. Now, if you’re the type to chase summer patterns, Texas is absolutely on fire right now. The official Texas Parks and Wildlife weekly reports say the Arlington and Athens areas are offering solid early morning action—think topwaters and crankbaits over shallow brush, but once the sun’s blazing, it’s time to go deep. Worms, jigs, and creature baits are cleaning up around deeper piles and points. If you’re chasing that first light bite, get your popper ready. Afternoon? Sink a jig down where things are cooler and watch your line twitch. Over in East Texas, Lake Fork is living up to its rep with a killer topwater bite the last two hours before sunset. Think poppers, frogs, and even a few spook-style baits getting hammered along weed edges and main lake points. Word from local guides is power shaky heads and deep-diving cranks are producing in 12 to 18 feet. Fly anglers—don’t sleep on boat houses for bream and cats. Cone heads and clousers are knocking ’em dead, day or night. National tournament action is keeping things spicy, too. The Bassmaster Elite Series is down to its final two throws on St. Clair and the Mississippi River near LaCrosse, Wisconsin, and the Angler of the Year title is still wide open. Meanwhile the Bass Pro Tour finale is running right now on Saginaw Bay, Michigan. That’s over 700,000 acres packed with both largemouth hugging the shallows and smallmouth cruising the open water. According to the latest scoop in SI.com’s fishing column, this tournament could easily shift careers, with rookie pros scrambling to unlock such a massive fishery in just a couple of days’ practice. If you think finding trout on a wide river is tough, try finding a 5-pound smallie in a bay the size of a small state. Looking to cash in on the summer heat? Lewistown Sentinel says one thing: go deep. We’re seeing some of the biggest bass of the year down low, in those cooler pockets out of the midday sun. Early morning or late evening for surface action, and during the blazing afternoons, dredge those channel edges with deep cranks or big worms. Shore anglers, don’t ignore shaded docks or old trees—covered water, cool temps, and lurking lunkers.

Big bass news straight out of the desert: Just a few days ago, Steve Jenkins landed a mind-blowing 16.57-pound largemouth at Arizona’s Roosevelt Lake during the Weekend Warrior Bass Series Summer Slam. This beast has everyone on the edge of their jump seats because if it passes official checks, it’ll nudge out a state record that’s stood since 1997. Jenkins wrangled this giant during a 38-team shootout and, get this, released her alive—massive respect. He and his partner Mike Selvage didn’t just walk away with bragging rights; they pocketed nearly a grand for the Big Bass prize and secured second overall with a bag just over 26 pounds. But first place and that sweet $1,300 check went to Mick and Leland Pageler, who dropped a thumping 27.11-pound bag on the scales, complete with an 8.62-pound kicker. Wired2fish captured the electric scene and everyone is waiting on word from Arizona Game and Fish to see if Jenkins’ catch knocks Randall White’s 16.48-pound legend off the top spot. Don’t sleep on the southern scene: Lake Martin in Alabama is set to host the 2026 Progressive Bassmaster Elite Series, which will see the best in the business go head-to-head right where Takahiro Omori famously weighed a slick 59 pounds, 8 ounces back in 2018. Lake Martin’s crystal soup and chunky spotted bass will force even the pros to tie on lighter line and finesse their way to the top. With daily weigh-ins and family-friendly festivities at Wind Creek State Park, this stop is sure to draw a crowd and plenty of armchair experts. Details are up on Explore Lake Martin for anyone already dreaming about getting in on the action or just hanging out to soak up the scene. For the “locals only” flavor, word from BassinBigG says Guntersville Lake in Alabama continues its reign as one of the busiest bass hot spots, with tournaments almost every weekend and a reputation for bags to make even the most stoic fly-fisher jealous. You want grassroots-to-big-show fishing, this is your scene—look for local derbies and, if you’re in the area, keep tabs on their up-to-date calendar to jump in. Looking to the Northeast? A YouTube roundup on the Top 10 Bass Fishing Lakes in Upstate New York is getting lots of traction, and, frankly, if you’re willing to swap the streamer for a swim jig, lakes like Cayuga, Oneida, and the St. Lawrence are prime for smallie action this week. August heat means early mornings or late evenings, but the topwater rod is still getting a workout. But it’s not just about the giant catches and big events. Major League Fishing is dropping live action back onto national cable via a fresh deal with RFD-TV, so whether you’re on the road or at home tying flies, you can catch all the drama of their unique two-man Team Series Cup events across August through November.

That’s right, they held on through tough heat and shifting conditions to land 36 pounds, 11 ounces over three days. Their top bag? A wild 10-pound, 13-ounce day to clamp down the title according to Bassmaster. When asked about the win, the pair were still in disbelief—one more reason to hit the water early and chase that big bite. If you’re chasing where the bite is best, you’ve got choices. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency’s weekly report says Chickamauga Lake is lighting up right now. Offshore shell beds are producing, and you can pull giants both shallow and deep. Grass bite is strong, but it’ll test your skills and electronics. Want variety? On Chickamauga, don’t be surprised if you hook a chunk in two feet or twenty-five. That’s real-deal locals-only stuff. For the river runners—fly gear in hand—heads up: the Shenandoah River in Virginia would normally be a top-tier pick for smallmouth right now, but with all the recent rain, both the North and South Forks are pretty muddy, which means most locals are waiting for the water to clear. Still, when she drops and levels out, the Shenandoah is hard to beat for topwater smallmouth action on a buggy popper or flashy streamer, just be patient for now, as Murray's Fly Shop reports. Family anglers and junior pros are having their own big moment too! An Instagram post from the winnietriplets highlights the next generation with a 13.5-inch bass caught, showing us that youth fishing is alive and kicking. And on the tournament front, Kenora Bass International is gearing up for another showdown on Lake of the Woods—winning weights expected to push past 50 pounds. A couple of pro tips if you’re trying to step up your summer bass game: the pressure is on—literally. Social media chatter points out that heavy fishing pressure, especially on smaller waters, can shut bass down quick. So, if you’re heading to public lakes, mix up your presentations and pick your times—think dawn patrol or sneaking in just before dusk. Subtle, natural-colored presentations have been getting it done when the bite gets tough. Got tournament fever? Keep your eyes on St. Lawrence River, where the Bassmaster Open just saw Ryan Lachniet put up over 26 pounds on Day 1. That river is, without question, one of America’s finest for both numbers and quality, especially for smallmouth fans. Before you start tying flies or digging out your favorite worm, remember—summer bass in most of the country means early mornings, deep structure, and always, always bring plenty of water and sunscreen.

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 15:12:17 -0000 full Inception Point AI Hey fish heads, it’s Artificial Lure, and if you’re looking for an excuse to wet a line and talk big bass, buckle up—August is on fire for bass fishing across the U.S. Let’s kick things off with the hottest headline in tournament fishing: Rex Reagan and Max Moody from Tennessee’s Pickett County have just made history, pulling down back-to-back National Championship wins at Clarks Hill Lake in Georgia. That’s right, they held on through tough heat and shifting conditions to land 36 pounds, 11 ounces over three days. Their top bag?

Whether you pitch soft plastics off the bow or thread a streamer through a riffle, the last week had something for everyone, and you’re not going to want to miss these highlights. Let’s kick it off with killer catches. At the Bassmaster High School National Championship, young gun Trent Allen landed an 8.80-pound largemouth at Clarks Hill Lake, a record-setter for that legendary Georgia reservoir. The buzz around that beast had both tournament pros and local bank fishers talking, and it backs up what locals have grumbled for years: Clarks Hill might be the southeast’s sleeper bass factory. According to Coastal Angler Magazine, that’s the biggest bass the high school circuit’s weighed at Clarks Hill, and Trent’s smile matched the fish’s size. Meanwhile out in Florida, anglers are still talking about the recent six-pounder pulled out of the southern part of the state. Coastal Angler & The Angler Magazine just spotlighted the catch, which, although not a state record, shows that Florida’s still hot for trophy largemouth in the dog days of summer. Word is the big ones are biting early and late, with midday best spent staying cool and prepping your gear for the evening feed. Now, if you want hot spots, the tournament trail marks the way. The National Professional Fishing League announced their 2025 stops, with a wild run of qualifying events. Santee Cooper in South Carolina kicks things off, and if you’ve never seen a line-busting largemouth from that swampy wonderland, you’re missing out. St. Lawrence River, up in New York, is back on the list this July—this place is just legend for smallmouth. According to the Bassmaster weigh-in archives, recent events provided bags loaded with four and five-pound bronzebacks. If you’re looking for a road trip, those northern waters are peaking, thanks to cooler flows and healthy baitfish. Speaking of smallmouth, the Ridgway Reservoir Smallmouth Bass Classic is underway in Colorado. It’s a unique scene out there; the state wants anglers to catch as many smallmouth as possible since they’re invasive in those parts, and they’re awarding up to $20,000 for participant catches through August 10. Not only do you get a shot at a slab-sided smallie, but you help local fisheries at the same time. You just show up, fish, and drop your catch at the weigh-in freezer—pretty low key, totally Colorado. On the fly fishing front, Virginia’s Shenandoah River usually brings solid smallmouth action. Murray's Fly Shop just updated that rain made things murky this week, with levels slowly coming back down, and they expect wading and floating for smallies to be prime soon. If you like topwater eats and boulder-jumping, keep an eye on those flows—the comeback is always epic after a summer flush. And if you just want more bass culture, get ready for college anglers to take the stage.

Let’s kick things off with a jaw-dropper: the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York is absolutely holding its title as the nation’s smallmouth goldmine. According to Bassmaster, tournament pros are bringing in bags so heavy people are starting to wonder if the river has hit “peak bass.” Last week’s major tournament saw Elite Series pro Chris Johnston take the top prize with a jaw-dropping catch, and folks are buzzing that it could take 25 pounds a day to win this week’s St. Croix Bassmaster Open. Even with the spot getting hit hard year after year, the fish just keep getting bigger—talk about a bass factory that refuses to quit. If you’re the kind of angler who likes your options wide open, you might want to put Potholes Reservoir in Washington and Banks Lake on your map. The Spokesman-Review reports both largemouth and smallmouth bass are just as eager as ever. Potholes has been called “outstanding” for bass this season, with big bluegill thrown in for good measure—and for us fly anglers, cruising those shorelines with poppers and streamers would be pure fun. Moses Lake is another sleeper this year: both bass species are on the uptick, and locals trolling old-school plugs swear the 3- to 5-pounders are biting as aggressively as ever. Florida is forever on fire for largemouths, but Labor Day weekend is shaping up for a blast. FishingBooker’s latest list ranks lakes Toho and Kissimmee as must-hits: double-digit hogs, easy access, and a chance to hook into some bonus crappie and bluegill if you’re ready to bend a lighter rod. If you swing further north, West Palm Beach’s Clear Lake and Lake Ida are serving up healthy largemouth and even exotic peacock bass for those chasing a fight with a different flavor. Let’s not skip over Maryland—the Chesapeake Bay region has had its striped bass season closed most of July, but as of August 1, things reopen. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources is reminding everyone to fish quick and clean because those upper-80s water temps mean stressed-out stripers. The classic live-lining of spot along the Tolchester Lumps and channel edges is always a local favorite. If you want something different, Bay crabs are out in numbers, and blue catfish are keeping everyone busy with drag-screaming runs. Curious about the high-stakes tourney scene? The National Professional Fishing League is mid-season, with pros testing their mettle on bass-rich waters like Santee Cooper in South Carolina and Lake Norman in North Carolina. Every weigh-in is live streamed, and the grind for that championship belt has been seriously intense. The final Bassmaster Opens Division 1 event is this week at the legendary St. Lawrence River, where a crop of new stars is vying for those coveted Elite Series spots.

Whether you’ve been stalking shallow summer beds with a Clouser Minnow or just planning your next getaway, there’s plenty of excitement to chase—so let’s get right to the meat. First off, you want legendary catches? Then all eyes are on O.H. Ivie Lake in Texas, which just snagged the No. 2 spot on Bassmaster’s 2025 list of Best Bass Lakes in the country. This West Texas gem keeps producing double-digit monsters—anglers are calling it the “land of the giants,” and for good reason. The mix of deep structure and brush piles makes it prime for both conventional and fly folks, so don’t sleep on it if you want a real shot at a personal best this summer. Bassmaster’s annual report practically glows with the details of big bags being weighed in week after week. Meanwhile, up in the Minocqua lakeland of Wisconsin, the Northwoods Bass Fishing Adventures crew reports epic smallmouth action on clear lakes. Guiding season has been all about topwater mayhem and big bronzebacks smashing streamers—you can literally cast all day and keep your line tight. Locals say the area is at its peak, with 18-inch plus smallies being almost routine. For fans of the fly rod and epic surface eats, this is your sign. Shifting gears to tourney tales, the Silted Water Bass trail out on the western prairie in Nebraska and Kansas just wrapped up a scorcher at Merritt Reservoir. A couple of hardcore anglers clinched records for both the lowest daily weight and the lowest Weekend Overall Weight in brutal heat—a solid reminder that even in tough conditions, a savvy angler can sniff out the pattern, though you might earn your bites. And for anyone who loves a little variety or wants to make a positive impact, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is throwing their annual Ridgway Reservoir Smallmouth Bass Classic right now. The tournament lasts through August 10 and is wide open—no pre-registration required, just turn up, fish hard, and you could reel in part of a $20,000 pot. There’s something uniquely satisfying about catching smallies for conservation, especially with mountain scenery as your backdrop. Got a competitive streak? Down in Florida, Lake Toho just played host to the annual ICAST Cup—a four-hour derby packed with big bags and heavy hitters showing off in the sweltering heat. The Lake Toho bite has been consistent all summer—think aggressive largemouths smashing frogs and swimbaits. If you like wading into the marsh edges with a big streamer, you’ll feel right at home. And let’s not forget about the Kenora Bass International tournament headed to Lake of the Woods in early August, where teams chase both largemouth and smallmouth with winning weights expected in the 50-plus pound range.

Stateside bass fishing this summer is absolutely off the hook—from East Texas giants to wily smallies in northern rivers, big stories are rolling in like a haul of tournament keepers. Let’s cast right into the headlines. Over in Texas, Lake O.H. Ivie’s still the stuff of legend. According to the Beaumont Enterprise, a junior angler—16-year-old Owen Harmon of Abilene—landed a monster 14.52-pound largemouth just last month. That fish is now pending as a new record with Texas Parks and Wildlife, and let’s be real, that kind of catch turns any pond-dweller’s knees to jelly. Texas isn’t tapping out on the bass radar, either. Bassmaster just dropped their 2025 lake rankings, putting an East Texas lake at third-best in the entire country. If you want a shot at a personal best, East Texas is begging for you to tie on a popper and drag it past the timber. Now if you’re chasing hot spots with a wild streak, don’t sleep on New York’s St. Lawrence River. Major League Fishing just wrapped their Tackle Warehouse Invitational up there—a full 435 bass hit the scales during the pro event, tipping the total to over 1,700 pounds in a single day. Tennessee’s John Murray wowed the crowd with a chunky 6-pound, 7-ounce smallmouth, earning him the Day 1 “Berkley Big Bass” award. If you love clear water, fast currents, and aggressive bites on light tackle, you might want to make the pilgrimage east before the bite slows down. For our fellow fly-flingers and topwater junkies, it gets better. Over in Arkansas, Saline River News is hyped about the state’s new Legacy Lunker Program. Thanks to upgrades at the Joe Hogan State Fish Hatchery, any angler who latches onto a public-waters largemouth north of 10 pounds can now donate her for breeding. That means more genetically substantial fish and more shots at double-digit bass for everybody. Circle Arkansas on the map for the years ahead. Tournament action? It was youth at the top this week, with Parker Smith and Carson Randan of Tennessee hauling in over 20 pounds in two days to grab the Bassmaster Junior National Championship at Georgia’s Clarks Hill Lake. And on Day 1, Memphis Johnson and Bryson Seal from Alabama’s Good Hope Fishing Team set the mark with a jaw-dropping 7-pound, 13-ounce largemouth. The next generation is coming in strong and they’re not afraid to work the brush piles or throw wild colors. Not to leave our West Coast anglers out—Northern California fish reports still show bass limits coming in fast on half-day charters, with hot action across the region. From Nor Cal Fish Reports, it’s clear the bite is on in both fresh and salt, so pack the gear and get out early.

Strip that leader, tie on your favorite bug, and let’s dive into the stories everybody’s talking about. Let’s start off with the fireworks on the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York, where the pros are absolutely crushing it at the Tackle Warehouse Invitationals. Chris Johnston currently leads the pack after Day 1 with a whopping 25 pounds, 12 ounces of smallmouth in his livewell—a classic St. Lawrence bag that’d make anyone jealous. Not far behind, Banks Shaw slammed home 25-8 pounds before lunchtime, while Hayden O’Barr and company broke the 24-pound mark. The scales were smoking: 435 bass weighing a shade under 1,706 pounds crossed the stage from just 88 pros. That’s more than eighty five-bass limits in a single day, including heavy hitters like John Murray’s 6-pound-7-ounce big bass that earned him a cool $1,000 for the Berkley Big Bass award. If you’re itching for numbers and the chance at a trophy, the St. Lawrence is absolutely on fire and deserves a spot at the top of your bucket list this summer, especially for those who love a good smallmouth tussle (Major League Fishing reports). But hold on, folks—the hot spots don’t end there. Clear Lake, California, just earned the top spot in Bassmaster’s “2025’s 100 Best Bass Lakes in America” for the first time in five years. This North Bay gem is notorious for monster largemouths and clear water sight-fishing that’ll push your tackle to the edge and might tempt even the die-hard fly slingers into throwing a frog or swimbait. Never bet against a West Coast classic for those legendary double-digit bass and wild topwater chases. Down in Georgia, the Altamaha and Satilla Rivers are finally back in prime summer shape. With good water levels and active fish, the buzzbait bite is heating up early and late—look for bass holding on brush piles in 12 to 14 feet of water if you’re dodging the midday melt. And if you’re looking to change it up, paddle-craft fishing in the Okefenokee Swamp is getting a big thumbs up from seasoned locals, thanks to its wild scenery and feisty fish (Georgia Wildlife Blog). Colorado’s Ridgway Reservoir is running their annual Smallmouth Bass Classic through early August, and this event even puts a bounty on smallmouth as an invasive species. There’s up to $20,000 in prizes up for grabs for anglers who help with removal, so it’s both a blast and a positive for the local ecosystem. No registration hassles—just show up and fish to win. If you’re road tripping or live nearby, get out there and make your casts count for science and for glory (Colorado Parks and Wildlife). Before I sign off, here’s a quirky tidbit from up in Maine: biologists just confirmed largemouth bass—invasive and all muscle—have somehow shown up in pristine West Musquash Lake.

Strip that leader, tie on your favorite bug, and let’s dive into the stories everybody’s talking about. Let’s start off with the fireworks on the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York, where the pros are absolutely crushing it at the Tackle Warehouse Invitationals. Chris Johnston currently leads the pack after Day 1 with a whopping 25 pounds, 12 ounces of smallmouth in his livewell—a classic St. Lawrence bag that’d make anyone jealous. Not far behind, Banks Shaw slammed home 25-8 pounds before lunchtime, while Hayden O’Barr and company broke the 24-pound mark. The scales were smoking: 435 bass weighing a shade under 1,706 pounds crossed the stage from just 88 pros. That’s more than eighty five-bass limits in a single day, including heavy hitters like John Murray’s 6-pound-7-ounce big bass that earned him a cool $1,000 for the Berkley Big Bass award. If you’re itching for numbers and the chance at a trophy, the St. Lawrence is absolutely on fire and deserves a spot at the top of your bucket list this summer, especially for those who love a good smallmouth tussle (Major League Fishing reports). But hold on, folks—the hot spots don’t end there. Clear Lake, California, just earned the top spot in Bassmaster’s “2025’s 100 Best Bass Lakes in America” for the first time in five years. This North Bay gem is notorious for monster largemouths and clear water sight-fishing that’ll push your tackle to the edge and might tempt even the die-hard fly slingers into throwing a frog or swimbait. Never bet against a West Coast classic for those legendary double-digit bass and wild topwater chases. Down in Georgia, the Altamaha and Satilla Rivers are finally back in prime summer shape. With good water levels and active fish, the buzzbait bite is heating up early and late—look for bass holding on brush piles in 12 to 14 feet of water if you’re dodging the midday melt. And if you’re looking to change it up, paddle-craft fishing in the Okefenokee Swamp is getting a big thumbs up from seasoned locals, thanks to its wild scenery and feisty fish (Georgia Wildlife Blog). Colorado’s Ridgway Reservoir is running their annual Smallmouth Bass Classic through early August, and this event even puts a bounty on smallmouth as an invasive species. There’s up to $20,000 in prizes up for grabs for anglers who help with removal, so it’s both a blast and a positive for the local ecosystem. No registration hassles—just show up and fish to win. If you’re road tripping or live nearby, get out there and make your casts count for science and for glory (Colorado Parks and Wildlife). Before I sign off, here’s a quirky tidbit from up in Maine: biologists just confirmed largemouth bass—invasive and all muscle—have somehow shown up in pristine West Musquash Lake.

If you’ve been sweating through the summer heat, you’re not alone, but the bite is still on in a bunch of prime U.S. waters. Whether you toss poppers, throw swimbaits, or like a buggy fly, now’s the time to check out what’s happening on the bass scene. Starting in the Southeast, the National Professional Fishing League has been hammering historic waters this season. Their St. Lawrence River stop up in Massena, New York, just wrapped—and let’s just say, the smallmouth action was off the charts. Anglers pushed five-bass limits heavy on bronzebacks, and the weigh-ins streamed live were all smiles and fist bumps. Next up, the League barrels down to Logan Martin in Alabama come September (mark your calendars), followed by the big championship showdown at Lake Hartwell in South Carolina in October. If Hartwell’s blueback herring bite turns on, fly flingers and lure chuckers alike could see some fireworks more explosive than the 4th of July, so keep this one on your must-watch list, especially if you like seeing pros break down classic southern structure—stumps, brush piles, and bluff walls (source: National Professional Fishing League). If you’re craving a fresh destination or want to know where the hawgs are chewing, check out Lake Allatoona in Georgia. According to tournament regulars, bass have slid into their classic summertime haunts, holding deep—sometimes 50 feet or more, so electronics are your new best friend. Still, when surface schools bust up late in the evening, tossing a hard swimbait or classic spinnerbait can turn the feast-or-famine pattern into personal bests—especially after nightfall, when the bruisers come out to play. That feast-or-famine vibe is pure Allatoona in August, so bring patience and have multiple tricks up your sleeve (report: Matt Driver on gon.com). On the western front, Alan Liere out of Spokane says bass are playing ball across a string of Pacific Northwest lakes. Largemouth are chewing frogs and spinnerbaits on Long Lake, and the early-morning topwater bite at Coffeepot Lake is worth the drive—especially if you like Senkos or medium-diving plugs. For fly folks, targeting the weed edges at first light or skipping poppers under overhangs is a blast. Smallmouth are packing up tight to the rocks at Priest Lake, hunting crayfish and minnows in shallow water. If you’re in Washington, don’t ignore Silver Lake near Cheney—full of perch and bluegill, playing host to some surprise bass lurking for a snack. For some good old-fashioned fish stories, look no further than Lake Nettie in Florida, where a 23-inch, 5-pound largemouth was brought to the kayak by trolling a blue rattletrap, proving that even during the dog days of July, trophy fish are snacking down south (Coastal Angler Magazine).

Let’s start big. The latest from Bassmaster Magazine just crowned California’s Clear Lake as the best bass spot for 2025. Any angler chasing double-digit largemouths knows the legend, but Clear Lake’s back on top with monster fish and a brutally healthy bass population. California actually claims a whopping ten out of the top 100 bass lakes this year, with Texas showing strong at number two and New York keeping it cool with seven lakes making the cut. If you want numbers, not just size, Lake Erie’s turning heads this week. According to crew from the Lake Erie Research Unit, their 120 bass boat survey had one in eight boats catch over 50 bass in a single day—not a typo, that’s over 50! And when winds kick up on the lake, the Upper Niagara River is right there with plenty of buckets and bronzebacks ready for your lure. Now, for the tournament junkies: the Phoenix Bass Fishing League just wrapped up at the Ohio River’s Tanners Creek. Shoutout to Aaron Stahley of Batavia, Ohio, for pulling the winning five-bass limit at 12 pounds, 11 ounces. He snagged a 4-pound, 5-ounce hawg to take the Berkley Big Bass Boater award and a bundle of cash to go with it. Over on the co-angler side, Jonathan Campbell topped the list with three bass for 4 pounds, 14 ounces. Tournament circuits from MLF to Bassmaster are in full swing across the country, so keep watching those leaderboards if you want to see some wild hauls. Looking for a late July hotspot? The Upper Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, is primed for big bags at the Bassmaster Open this week. Locals are betting on multiple 20-pound sacks as bass fatten up in 5 to 6 feet of water during the full swing of summer feeding. If you’re in the region, this tournament is worth a front row seat—or better yet, a slot if you can swing an entry. Okay, for those angling with fly rods and lighter gear, don’t sleep on spots like Clayton Lake State Park in New Mexico. Besides stocked trout, there are healthy largemouth and even some slick walleye. And for the conservation-minded folks (looking at you, fly casters), Colorado Parks and Wildlife is running a unique tournament targeting invasive smallmouths on the Western Slope. Tag and release events with surprise $1,000 bass make for a wild and worthy day on the water, and help native fish recover from unwanted competition. For the tournament travelers, don’t miss the Kenora Bass International up on Lake of the Woods in early August. Big money, big bass, and a wild smallmouth scene—definitely a bucket list stop if you want serious bragging rights. And because I know the real ones are still scouting New York—don’t forget the St. Lawrence River. Sure, it slid to No. 4 in this year’s rankings but it’s still the smallmouth capital of the northeast.

Let’s just say July’s been electric across the country and, from monster catches to epic tournaments, there’s a lot for any angler—especially you fly folks—to drool over. First, let’s talk legendary catches. Just out in Idaho, locals are buzzing about a bass landed recently that came in just shy of the state record. Western waters aren’t always on the radar for trophy largemouth, but this one turned heads and had people dusting off their heavy rods. Meanwhile, down in Oklahoma, a pint-sized prodigy, four-year-old Luke Lashley, reeled in a bass almost as big as himself, earning high-fives from Dad and securing full bragging rights for at least the next decade. If you’re looking to get in on the action, the hot spot list is as juicy as ever. Lake Toho in Florida just wrapped up the 2025 ICAST Cup, with the father-son duo from Yo-Zuri America hauling in 16 pounds, 3 ounces of bass on just three fish—now that’s a morning to write home about! The Kissimmee Chain of Lakes is clearly still firing, and if topwater frog bites make your heart race, this spot ought to be on your bucket list. Out east, the St. Lawrence River near Massena, New York, is serving up some of the biggest smallmouth in the world this summer. Major League Fishing reports fish are running a little ahead of schedule due to a warm spring, so most pros are dredging up those post-spawn behemoths out deep, while others tempt shallow marauders along the sandy bars. Local experts say anything under 24 pounds for your five-fish bag probably won’t sniff a win—now that’s a bass derby! The Shenandoah rivers in Virginia have been a wild card lately. July rains turned both the North and South Forks high and muddy, so reports say most fly anglers have been sticking to trout water, but levels are finally returning to normal. If you love swinging big streamers for smallmouth, start watching those river gauges: as flows clear, those bronzebacks will be on the prowl and ready to crash a popper from behind a boulder. Major League Fishing just dropped the 2025 Tackle Warehouse Invitationals schedule, and the tournament fever is sweeping the nation. Mark your maps for February at the Kissimmee Chain, March at Lake Hartwell, and the September Invitationals Championship on the mighty Mississippi River in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The top prize is a whopping $135,000, but with every angler sliding home with at least five grand, you can bet the competition will be fierce. Even up north, Devils Lake in North Dakota is loaded with scrappy white bass, keeping anglers of all styles grinning. Guides say the trick right now is to hunt for that slightly stained water—when you find it, the fishing can be downright silly. And back in Southwest Missouri, Lake Taneycomo is on fire for those who prefer to sling articulated streamers to beefy bass, as per Rob’s latest morning sessions.

Artificial Lure here with your quick hit of the latest and greatest from the world of bass fishing, right here in the good ol’ US of A. Let’s kick things off with a wild finish at Lake Erie. Just this week, Aaron Jagdfeld of Michigan scored a monster win at the 2025 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Qualifier. Mother Nature had other plans—high winds wiped out Days 2 and 3—so Jagdfeld had to make his Day 1 catch count, hauling in a whopping 23 pounds, 5 ounces out of Lake St. Clair, anchored by a 5-pound, 7-ounce smallmouth that snagged Big Bass honors. Not to be outdone, Cody Dawson in Ohio found success pitching a smoke purple Berkley Flat Worm onto isolated rockpiles 22 feet down, showing that sometimes breaking from the pack and running your own pattern can still put giants in the livewell. If you like the idea of tracking bronze-backs on big water, keep Lake St. Clair and Erie on your list this summer. Want more tourney action? The Potomac River in Maryland is about to host some of the region’s best for the Phoenix Bass Fishing League Regional next week. It’s a local’s paradise and one of the East Coast’s cult hotspots. Pro Grae Buck says the bite should crank back up post-storm, so you know competition will be spicy with big bags on the line and a ticket to the All-American up for grabs. Out West, Idaho just saw one of the biggest bass ever caught in the state, just shy of the Idaho record. According to Trophy Ops, it was a double-digit beast—proof that even places you’d never peg as bass havens are coughing up pigs right now. Meanwhile, Minnesota’s Champions Tour Pro/Am checked in a 4 pound, 8 ounce “Minnetonka Beast” caught in the last moments for Big Bass bragging rights. Even late in the day, you just need one bite to totally flip the script. How about hot spots for the next week? If you’re up in the Midwest, both Michigan’s inland lakes and Minnesota waters are reporting strong summer bass action, with bites holding steady around structure, especially in 10-20 feet during cool mornings. Stillwater and shaded cover are gold now that summer is blazing, so toss those topwaters early or punch through mats during the heat. Louisiana anglers are reminding everyone not to sleep on shaded structure and dock pilings either—those summer largemouth are hiding deep, and it might take putting a bait right on their nose to get a reaction. Looking for a true bucket-list destination? Sebago Lake in Maine is calling, famous for its deep water and clear structure holding both big smallmouth and largemouth. Local Connor Sirois says it’s all about adapting to the massive variety of habitats—from weedy backwater coves to the dramatic ledges where smallmouth chase alewives. Add a backdrop of forest, loons, and White Mountain views, and you’ve got one for the fly-and-finesse fans, too.

Let’s cut right to the chase—2025 is shaping up to be an epic summer for bass junkies, from tournament professionals to your local kayak crowd and fly anglers itching to swap trout for green fish. Let’s start with some serious bragging rights. Over on Lake Erie, the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Qualifier just kicked off, and Aaron Jagdfeld bagged the Day 1 lead with a whopping 23 pounds, 5 ounces. His haul included a chunky 5-pound, 7-ounce largemouth, setting the tone for what’s expected to be a hard-fought event, especially with how Erie’s been coughing up bigs just about every morning this month, even for dudes chucking streamers from the bank, no less, and that's saying something for you fly guys. Now, where’s the hot bite right now? If you want numbers and big fish, everybody’s talking about Lake St. Clair. According to Bassmaster’s just-out 2025 rankings, St. Clair cracked the Top 10 again—no surprise, really, and the Northeast is absolutely stacked with seven lakes making the top 25 cut. Michigan’s storied fishery is on fire, with big smallies blitzing bait from dawn til lunch, and finesse gear is working wonders. Fly anglers, get in there with big Clouser Minnows or deceivers along the weed lines; you’re missing out if you're not tying up an articulated streamer for kicks. For those looking for a little southern hospitality, Arkansas is making headlines. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission just dedicated $16 million to revamp the legendary Joe Hogan State Fish Hatchery and unveiled the new Arkansas Legacy Lunker program. Starting in 2026, anyone landing a double-digit bass—think over 10 pounds—gets a shot at a banquet, prizes, and, most importantly, bragging rights for helping breed the next wave of state-record pigs. The state is already a go-to, especially for those who like to fish cypress tangles from a kayak or, if you’re bold, with a big deer hair diver. Don’t sleep on the tournament action this year. The National Professional Fishing League is halfway through its stacked 2025 season, with St. Lawrence River and Lake Norman already showing off just how fat bass have gotten this year. And if you’re thinking about fishing the Potomac, Major League Fishing will host the Phoenix Bass Fishing League Regional there soon. Even pros are predicting things will heat up after the latest storm, which means those tidal grass lines are primed for a frog or even a well-placed fly popper if you’re feeling spicy. If you’re jonesing for a challenge, mark your calendars for the Bassmaster Elite hitting Lake St. Clair August 7–10. Plus, the St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Upper Chesapeake goes down July 23–25. For you East Coasters, that’s prime time for topwater eats and the kind of smallmouth fights that feel tailor-made for an 8-weight. One last tidbit: keep an eye on programs like Arkansas’s Lunker initiative. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission just dedicated $16 million to revamp the legendary Joe Hogan State Fish Hatchery and unveiled the new Arkansas Legacy Lunker program. Starting in 2026, anyone landing a double-digit bass—think over 10 pounds—gets a shot at a banquet, prizes, and, most importantly, bragging rights for helping breed the next wave of state-record pigs. The state is already a go-to, especially for those who like to fish cypress tangles from a kayak or, if you’re bold, with a big deer hair diver. Don’t sleep on the tournament action this year. The National Professional Fishing League is halfway through its stacked 2025 season, with St. Lawrence River and Lake Norman already showing off just how fat bass have gotten this year. And if you’re thinking about fishing the Potomac, Major League Fishing will host the Phoenix Bass Fishing League Regional there soon. Even pros are predicting things will heat up after the latest storm, which means those tidal grass lines are primed for a frog or even a well-placed fly popper if you’re feeling spicy. If you’re jonesing for a challenge, mark your calendars for the Bassmaster Elite hitting Lake St. Clair August 7–10. Plus, the St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Upper Chesapeake goes down July 23–25. For you East Coasters, that’s prime time for topwater eats and the kind of smallmouth fights that feel tailor-made for an 8-weight. One last tidbit: keep an eye on programs like Arkansas’s Lunker initiative.

First up, grab your calendar because Major League Fishing just dropped its expanded 2025 Phoenix Bass Fishing League schedule. This circuit is every weekend warrior’s dream, now featuring 12 Regional tournaments so you can compete close to home, fish your favorite water, and maybe, just maybe, win a decked-out Phoenix Pro bass boat or a fat cash prize. The big draw this coming season is the BFL All-American Championship, happening May 29-31, 2025, at Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas. If you’re into grassroots tournaments and that high-stakes adrenaline, this is your shot at glory and some serious payout. The buzz is that Hot Springs rolls out the red carpet for anglers and spectators alike — so bring your best topwater game and maybe pack an extra hat, because the competition’s as heated as the Arkansas sun. Speaking of big catches, let’s talk records. Florida just saw a new state record for spotted bass thanks to Joe Durden from Blountstown, who hauled in a 3.93-pounder at the Apalachicola River during a local tournament. That beat a record that’s stood for 40 years! Durden landed the fish with a crankbait and some savvy from Livescope, then had it certified by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The Apalachicola is quickly staking its claim as a hidden gem for record-class bass — and for fly fans, this river’s mix of currents and backwaters is basically Disneyland. If you’re into chasing records with a fly rod, you might want to swing by Bristol Landing and join the hunt. Looking for hot spots? Largemouth bass are living their best life right now in some prime bodies of water. According to the folks at A-Z Animals, lakes like Okeechobee in Florida, Lake Fork in Texas, and California’s Clear Lake are producing solid numbers and trophy-caliber fish. In fact, Clear Lake was just named the best bass fishery in the country this week, so West Coast rods, you know where to haul your poppers and streamers. Over in Mississippi, Lake Ferguson is heating up for summer patterns. Bass are hitting topwaters at dawn and moving deeper as temperatures crank up — so rig your frogs, buzzbaits, or fool ‘em with some bluegill imitators in the shallows before switching to cranks and chatterbaits once the sun’s high. If you’re ever in the Florida Everglades, it’s not just alligators and airboats. OutdoorHub says the Glades’ sprawling maze of canals and grassy flats still turn out world-class largemouths and even wild peacock bass. Try throwing a slider or foam popper along the weed lines if you want to feel that electric surface strike. On the tech front, there’s exciting news for tournament heads. Bubba and Major League Fishing just announced that, starting spring 2026, the Scoretracker Live platform will hit the Bubba app. Why care?

Whether you’re a seasoned bass chaser or a fly angler curious about crossing over, this week’s scoop might just have you packing your gear and heading to the water. Let’s kick things off with some pure tournament drama. Over in Jefferson City, Tennessee, the just-wrapped 2025 Strike King Bassmaster College National Championship on Cherokee Lake was one for the books. For the first time ever, the championship ended in a sudden death fish-off. Lander University’s Garrett Smith and Andrew Blanton pulled off some real overtime heroics, landing a keeper largemouth just five minutes into the fish-off to clinch both their second straight national title and a spot in the prestigious College Classic Bracket. That’s right, back-to-back champions—the first ever to do it in college bass history. Talk about clutch under pressure! Smith said, “Last year was such an amazing experience, and we get to do it all again and it is going to be even better.” Now that’s the kind of story that’ll have you tying on a new jig tonight. Now, if you’re hungry for hot spots, let me put Lake Guntersville, Alabama right at the top of your list. Guntersville is absolutely popping right now. Tournament winners are needing bags in the high 20-pound range just to take afternoon events, and guides are averaging about 30 bass a day, with plenty of bruiser 4 to 5 pounders in the mix. Fish are in all zones—from river ledges to the shallows. Word on the water is that a spinnerbait at daylight around the shad spawn gets the blood pumping, and if you’re the finesse type, a wacky-rigged senko on bream beds is killer. Crankbaits on the river ledges? Still a favorite play for those looking for a trophy. Guntersville isn’t just hot—it’s diverse, dynamic, and downright loaded. Let’s not sleep on Kentucky Lake either. The lake’s been turning heads with a major comeback both in numbers and variety. Largemouth are showing stronger numbers again, but get this: smallmouth have totally exploded, to what local biologists are calling “all-time highs.” That’s sent a shockwave through the tournament scene, with anglers seeing record-breaking smallmouth spawns. Unlike the old days when June meant offshore ledge fests, now you’ve got a shallow bite lasting deep into the summer. The smart locals are splitting time between shallow wood and more traditional ledge haunts. If you’re an angler who loves unlocking a puzzle, Kentucky Lake is your playground right now. And for you armchair tournament junkies, some recent weights are worth a shout. Kyle Patrick just smashed the St. Croix Bassmaster Open at Lake of the Ozarks with a three-day total of 53 pounds, 11 ounces. Out west, John Pearl took home the 2025 WON Bass Clear Lake Open title with a record three-day bag of 102.81 pounds. These kinds of hauls are what legends—and fish stories—are made of.

Artificial Lure here, bringing you the latest buzz from the world of bass fishing across the good ol’ U.S. of A. Grab your fly rod and settle in, because if you thought summer bass fishing was slowing down, you’re in for a surprise. Let’s kick it off with the hot spots burning up the bass scene this week. Word out of New York is the St. Lawrence River is straight fire right now. The National Professional Fishing League just wrapped up its big tournament there, drawing some of the best in the game to Massena. The river didn’t disappoint—Drew Cook held a lead into the final day, but the bite was so good that anything could change in the last few hours. The weigh-ins were streamed live, and let me tell you, those smallmouths looked plump and feisty. St. Lawrence is living up to its rep as a smallmouth haven, especially if you like chasing bronzebacks in clear, hard-pulling current. But don’t sleep on the Midwest. Outdoor News reports that despite some weather shaking things up, Minnesota and Wisconsin are still cranking out a strong bass bite. Weed edges are producing big largemouths, and if you can find the shaded cover, you’re in business. Over in Illinois, the bite’s a little slower, but persistence pays—locals are using topwater frogs and soft plastics to pick off bucketmouths hiding in the lily pads. For those who like to chase trophies, check out this: Mass.gov just released their latest sportfishing awards and a beast of a largemouth—23.5 inches—was pulled from Cheshire Reservoir in Massachusetts. Not to be outdone, Assawompset Pond coughed up a 23-inch smallmouth, possibly a new personal best for some lucky angler. Tournament news is coming in hot, too. The Bassmaster College National Championship is underway and the University of North Alabama duo, Bryce Dimauro and Tripp Berlinsky, are leading after Day 2 with a stellar 33 pounds, 13 ounces. College anglers are showing the old guard that the next generation’s got game and a knack for hunting down big bites when it matters most. Not everything is sunshine and big bass, though. This week, The Cool Down dropped a warning shot: Alabama bass, an invasive species, are spreading fast and hybridizing with native bass in places like North Carolina and Tennessee. State biologists are worried that these aggressive little guys could push out native big bass, threatening the size (and the fun) of future catches. It’s a good reminder to keep an eye out and do your part to protect your home waters. If you’re in the South or fishing rivers in the Appalachians, check those catches—one small misidentified bass can mean big changes down the road. For my fellow fly anglers, now’s a killer time to try topwater poppers and buzzbaits in the shallows, especially early and late in the day.

Let’s get right into this week’s juiciest catches, freshest hot spots, and big stories that'll have even the most devoted fly angler eyeing their nearest baitcaster. First up, the bass fishing universe is still buzzing over a state record out of Florida. Joe Durden hauled in a 3.93-pound spotted bass, shattering the previous state record of 3.75 pounds on the Apalachicola River. Durden’s 18.25-inch beauty wasn’t just a personal best—it showed that even in the thick heat of summer, old-school rivers can surprise you in a big way. According to Oysterradio, the catch went down during the Fifth Annual Apalachicola River Flathead Catfish Tournament, proving you never know what’s at the end of the line when you’re out chasing whiskers and gills. Next, if you’re wondering where the bite is hot, you gotta keep an eye on the Snake River in Washington. Alan Liere’s latest report says smallmouth bass are chomping near Lyons Ferry, while over at MarDon Resort, largemouths are hitting hard. Early and late, anglers are tossing Spooks and Senkos to nail big bass, with a solid number in the 4- to 5-pound range showing up. For the real adventurers—or the fly anglers looking to mix it up—there are some hike-in lakes west of Potholes Reservoir, like Desert Lake and the Frenchman’s and Winchester wasteways, that are loaded with lively largemouths. Over in New York, the St. Lawrence River is absolutely on fire. Jacob Wheeler just rocked the Bass Pro Tour by catching 47 bass totaling a jaw-dropping 165 pounds, 1 ounce—smashing the previous single-day record. Pros are having the days of their lives tossing Ned rigs and drop-shot setups for smallmouth, but with those numbers, it’s proof this legendary river is kicking out fish like it’s going out of style. The St. Lawrence is living up to every bit of the hype and absolutely deserves a spot on your must-fish list this summer. Lake Guntersville in Alabama continues to be ground zero for bass tournaments every weekend. The big G is beloved for its thick grass mats and heavy fish, perfect for flippers and froggers. There’s no shortage of action, and if you want a shot at tournament-caliber bass or just a day on legendary waters, Guntersville remains a prime pick. For the tournament crowd, the 2025 national scene is stacked. The National Professional Fishing League is running qualifiers at classic venues like Santee Cooper, Lake Norman, and Lake Eufaula. And right now, college anglers are duking it out on Cherokee Lake at the Bassmaster College National Championship. Some locals are calling it “brutal fishing,” but the ones who find a pattern—junk fishing, mixing it up with plastics, jigs, and finesse—are landing the bags to weigh in on the big stage. Even if you’re more at home with a 5-weight and a pile of poppers, this bass action just might tempt you to grab a spinning rod and chase so This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Whether you’re coming off the river, winding down at the fly-tying bench, or daydreaming about your next topwater blowup, let’s get you amped about what’s biting and where! Let’s kick things off with one of the strangest catches of the year—a true unicorn moment out of South Daytona, Florida. An angler landed a legit albino largemouth bass on a custom-painted Zara Spook. Albinos are rare as hen’s teeth, but seeing one slam a topwater at sunrise? That’s a memory for the ages, and a reminder to always keep an extra eye on your lure color game, especially if you want to stand out when the bite turns finicky. Looking to put boots—or waders—on new water? The Niagara River region is something special right now. According to Angler’s Edge Outdoors, cooler temps are keeping smallmouth bass fired up well into the summer, with dropshots and crankbaits doing work in perfect water conditions. Moss is light and the bite window is wide, so it’s prime time for anyone craving that hard-pulling, acrobatic smallie action with a fly rod or conventional tackle. Down south, lakes like Abiquiu in New Mexico are churning out solid smallmouth, with some largemouth in the mix for those patient enough to work cover. Reports from the LA Daily Post say the reservoirs are fishing well this time of year, and don’t sleep on night fishing for bonus catfish if you want to extend your trip after the sun drops. Now, if you love competition (or just dream of big-league weigh-ins), there’s major news on the tournament trail. Major League Fishing just dropped their 2025 schedule for the Tackle Warehouse Invitationals—six events coast to coast, each with big paydays and a shot at making the Tackle Warehouse Invitationals Championship. Add to that the NPFL’s 2025 slate, which includes legendary stops like Santee Cooper, Lake Norman, and a late summer party up on the St. Lawrence River. The St. Lawrence, by the way, is a smallmouth mecca—pros regularly argue it might be the top smallie fishery on the planet, and this July it’s expected to be absolutely wild with high weights and big bags. Grassroots anglers have something to celebrate, too. The Phoenix Bass Fishing League is making it even easier for folks to fish home waters and, if you catch lightning, work your way up the ranks. More regional events mean anglers can stay local and still have a shot at big prizes and coveted championship berths—so get that calendar marked and the outboard tuned up. Minnesota just passed a year-round bass season, a win for anglers who hate watching their favorite lakes thaw without being able to chase green and brown monsters. The state also held off a proposed ban on traditional lead tackle, keeping access to classic baits and affordable options alive for another session—a big deal for everyone from tournament hounds to weekend warriors.

If you’ve got a soft spot for a fly rod but can’t resist the tug of a lunker largemouth or a bulldog smallie, this week’s roundup is gonna get you itching to tie on something flashy and hit the water. Let’s kick things off with a few jaw-dropping catches. Over in Tennessee, Austin True just put his name on the map by hauling in a chunky 5-pound, 10-ounce bass at the Lake Hamilton All-American, bagging not only the bragging rights but also the coveted Berkley Big Bass Boater award. Meanwhile, Joe Smith from Georgia showed up big at the Michigan BFL opener, landing the largest co-angler fish—clocking in at 4 pounds, 12 ounces—on the legendary Detroit River. And word from the local guides is, Lake St. Clair up in Michigan is “the best I’ve seen in a long time,” according to ace angler Scott Dobson. With healthy vegetation and clear water, bass are biting shallow for those who don’t want to go offshore. If you’re near that region, now’s the time for a road trip. If you’re chasing numbers and not just trophies, Lake Oconee in Georgia should be on your radar. Capt. Doug Nelms says the action right now is “as good as I’ve ever seen it in 20 years of fishing,” with catches of 50 to 60 hybrids and stripers per trip. Largemouths are getting pulled off the bluffs, especially early in the day—think jigs on 20 to 25-foot drop-offs before the weekend boaters swarm in. Early birds and weekday warriors are scoring big. For you competitive types, the National Professional Fishing League is in full swing. Next up, the pros are making a statement at the St. Lawrence River in New York from July 9th to 11th, one of the Northeast’s crown jewels for smallmouth. These tourney stops are not just about winning cash—watching the live weigh-ins and tuning into pro insights is like getting a masterclass in summertime tactics. Whether you're interested in offshore jigging or keeping things simple, there’s plenty of new tournament content to dive into. Now, here’s something that needs every angler’s attention: biologists in North Carolina and beyond are raising the alarm about invasive Alabama bass hybridizing with native species like smallmouth and largemouth. These aggressive little guys breed fast, outcompete locals for food, and seriously threaten the size and health of native fisheries. Tennessee has already changed regulations to let anglers keep smaller bass to slow the spread. So if you find yourself on Southern waters, get educated—knowing the difference could help keep our bass fishing future healthy. Got a little angler in the family? July 20-23 is the second annual Pickwick Bass Camp for kids in Mississippi—an intro to the sport with guidance from some of the biggest names on the pro circuit, priced to get the next generation on the water without breaking the bank.

One of the standout stories making waves in the angling community involves a record-breaking largemouth bass caught at O.H. Ivie Lake in Texas. Onlookers were left in awe when local angler Paul Hildebrandt reeled in a 17.03-pound largemouth bass, marking it as one of the heaviest catches in recent memory. This jaw-dropping catch promises to keep O.H. Ivie Lake on the radar for bass anglers seeking their own mammoth haul. The excitement doesn't stop in Texas, as Florida's Lake Okeechobee and California's Clear Lake continue to draw bass fishing aficionados in droves, with both spots reporting increased activity and notable catches. Lake Okeechobee, known for its vast stretches of vegetation and aquatic structures, has been particularly productive. Recently, anglers reported catching five bass over ten pounds in a single weekend, signaling that this legendary fishery is in prime form. On the West Coast, Clear Lake maintains its reputation as a bass fishing haven, with local guided tours reporting catches upwards of eight pounds almost daily. Fishermen frequenting Clear Lake have been benefiting from the lasting summer conditions, which have kept bass actively feeding in preparation for cooler months. The lake’s unique environment, characterized by its rich water vegetation and diverse aquatic life, creates the perfect conditions for bass to flourish, making it a must-visit spot for those on the trail of trophy fish. In innovative practices in bass fishing, tournament circuits have taken steps to incorporate technology and conservation practices more deeply into their routines. Many competitions are now using live-release boats, which ensure that fish are returned to their habitat unharmed immediately after being weighed. This approach has been particularly well-received by the conservation community, ensuring the future of bass fishing remains sustainable. Meanwhile, major tournaments like the Bassmaster Elite Series are amplifying their digital presence, live streaming events to engage audiences globally and further expanding the sport's reach. Technological advancements are also making fishing more accessible and enhanced for new anglers.

It's no secret that Texas is a bass fishing hot spot, but this catch reignited the conversation about this particular lake's reputation for producing megabass. But Texas isn't the only state in the limelight. Over in Florida, another angler raised eyebrows with a 10-pound plus largemouth at Lake Okeechobee, a body of water that continues to live up to its legendary status as a fishing paradise. In fact, many bass fishermen are highlighting the recent success at Lake Guntersville in Alabama, known for its sprawling underwater grass beds—perfect hiding spots for big bass. This lake has consistently been turning in impressive numbers for tournament angers this year, drawing both amateurs and seasoned pros. Aside from these notable catches, bass fishing enthusiasts are finding excitement in some less-heralded destinations.

Its crystal-clear waters and structured habitat have proved perfect for landing feisty smallmouth, adding variety to any angler's expedition. Another area generating buzz is New York's Finger Lakes.

Anglers are always on the lookout for the best spots to catch that trophy bass, and recent reports suggest there are a few new hotspots worth casting a line in. One of the most thrilling catches lately comes from Lake Okeechobee in Florida, a perennial favorite among bass anglers. Recently, a local fisherman landed a massive 12-pound largemouth bass, setting social media abuzz with photos of the impressive catch. Lake Okeechobee’s vast beds of aquatic vegetation create an ideal habitat for these giants, providing both the cover and food sources the fish need to thrive. Such catches underscore why "The Big O" remains a pilgrimage destination for anglers. Meanwhile, Lake Guntersville in Alabama continues to solidify its reputation as a bass fishing Mecca. Reports indicate the fall turnover period is currently creating a feeding frenzy, with bass more aggressive and easier to catch. Large schools of shad have been moving into the creeks, drawing the bass in and providing anglers with prime opportunities to reel them in.

Across the United States, bass fishing continues to surge in popularity, capturing the hearts of fishing enthusiasts who chase the thrill of landing the big one. Notable catches this year have set the bass fishing community abuzz. In Texas, the legendary Lake Fork lived up to its reputation as a trophy bass haven when an angler recently hauled in a monster largemouth weighing in at a staggering 16.5 pounds. Such catches aren’t just flukes; they’re the result of the careful conservation efforts that have nurtured these waters into a thriving ecosystem for bass.

When discussing bass fishing hotspots, the Big Bass Bash on Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks is a centerpiece event, drawing thousands of anglers annually. This competition offers a refreshing twist where amateurs have an equal playing field with the pros, and recent updates from this year's event reported several 7 to 8-pound bass making a splash, thrilling both competitors and spectators. Lake Champlain, straddling the border of New York and Vermont, remains another favorite. Renowned for its diverse fishery, it offers unparalleled opportunities for both largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing, making it a must-visit for serious anglers. The latest in bass fishing trends highlights a growing emphasis on sustainable practices and technological innovation. Anglers are increasingly turning to catch-and-release methods, equipped with advanced tackle and eco-friendly gear designed to preserve fish populations for future generations. Additionally, the integration of smartphone apps for tracking catches and identifying optimal fishing spots using real-time data is transforming the way enthusiasts engage with the sport.

Forward-facing sonar, often dubbed the "cheat code" among purists, allows anglers to detect and track bass movements with unprecedented precision. This has sparked debates within the community about its impact on the sport's traditional roots, but its effectiveness in tournament settings is undeniable, with winners often crediting these new gadgets for their success. The bass fishing community continues to celebrate not just the sport, but also the camaraderie and shared memories it fosters. As the season progresses, stories of remarkable catches and tales of elusive fish that got away will be eagerly shared along riverbanks and in online forums.

This popular pastime, woven into the cultural fabric of many communities, keeps reinventing itself with each season and catch. Recently, a new record was set in Texas with a largemouth bass weighing an astounding 17.6 pounds. Reeled in at O.H. Ivie Lake, this remarkable specimen has sparked a surge of interest in the body of water that has long been a hidden gem for big fish enthusiasts. The buzz among the bass fishing community isn't limited to just Texas. Alabama’s Lake Guntersville, renowned for its thick grass beds and abundant forage, remains a perennial hotspot. This reservoir is part of the Tennessee River and has long been considered a bucket-list location for any serious bass angler. Recently, a local competition saw several bass tipping the scales at over nine pounds, further cementing Lake Guntersville’s reputation for producing trophy fish. In the northern reaches, Lake Champlain at the New York-Vermont border claims fame for both smallmouth and largemouth bass, offering picturesque yet productive fishing grounds. Autumn has seen anglers visiting this vast lake rewarded with hefty smallmouth specimens, making it an ideal seasonal trek for those in search of cooler climes and vibrant fall foliage. Meanwhile, the emergence of new technology continues to revolutionize how anglers approach the sport. High-tech fish finders and GPS mapping systems have become invaluable tools for anglers trying to locate elusive bass. These technologies allow for a more tactical approach to fishing, often leading to successful catches in previously challenging conditions. As the tools of the trade evolve, so too does the strategy and skill level of those casting their lines. On a fun note, the annual ICAST show earlier this year unveiled some quirky yet promising new lures. A top pick among anglers is the “Hula Popper Frog,” a hybrid topwater lure combining the classic popper design with a frog profile known to entice feisty bass from under lily pads and other aquatic vegetation. This marks a growing trend toward inventive lure designs that aim to mimic prey species more accurately. Lastly, the bass fishing community is abuzz with stories of eco-friendly initiatives gaining momentum among local clubs and organizations. There's a strong push for conservation efforts, emphasizing sustainable fishing practices and habitat restoration to ensure that bass populations thrive for future generations. Many tournaments, like the popular Bassmaster Elite Series, have adopted catch-and-release policies and initiatives to protect the waterways they are conducted on. Bass fishing remains as exhilarating as ever, with stories of monumental catches and innovative approaches. Whether venturing to renowned lakes or experimenting with the newest gear, anglers across the United States continue to find fresh excitement in the pursuit of the mighty bass.

In 2023, the US remains home to many world-renowned bass fishing hotspots, nurturing both seasoned anglers and beginners eager to cast their lines. Among recent notable catches, Lake Okeechobee in Florida has again proven its status as a bass fishing mecca. This legendary spot recently produced several trophy-sized largemouth bass, delighting anglers with its bounty. Known for its vast grassy flats and fish-attracting structure, Lake Okeechobee remains at the heart of bass fishing fever, drawing in competitors for tournaments and hobbyists chasing personal records. As summer wanes and fall arrives, anglers have been flocking to Guntersville Lake in Alabama. This hotspot offers rich biodiversity and ideal conditions for the fall bass spree. Recently, savvy anglers have capitalized on the lake’s hydrilla beds, where baitfish hide, to pull in impressive hauls. As the leaves change color, the bass in Guntersville are on the move, seeking warmth in shallower waters, which has led to several recent catches tipping the scales at over 10 pounds. Lake Fork in Texas, another iconic destination, has been busy with anglers testing their skills against its challenging waters. Often described as a largemouth bass haven, Lake Fork's reputation was bolstered recently when a local angler netted a bass just shy of the state record, sparking lively discussion about techniques and equipment choices – and a bit of friendly rivalry among local fishing clubs. As for smallmouth bass enthusiasts, the Great Lakes, particularly Lake Erie, remain a bustling scene. Anglers report that the nutrient-rich waters have led to a banner year, with an increase in both size and numbers of smallmouth bass caught. These catches continue to support Lake Erie’s reputation as one of the top smallmouth destinations, with many anglers traveling from afar to experience its fruitful waters. Interesting developments in bass fishing this year include the rising popularity of electronics and technology on the water. Forward-facing sonar has become the talk of the angling community, as it allows for real-time tracking of fish movements. While some traditionalists argue about the purity of using such technology, others are embracing it enthusiastically, demonstrating its potential to change bass fishing dynamics by making tracking elusive fish a more precise endeavor.

Fall 2023 has been particularly fruitful for bass fishing enthusiasts who remain inspired by the diversity and abundance of these prized game fish. Among the recent headlining stories in the bass fishing community is a remarkable feat in Texas. Angler Michael Minnow landed a staggering 14.8-pound largemouth at Lake Fork, a renowned reservoir for trophy-sized bass. His catch highlights Lake Fork’s consistent reputation as a top destination for those aiming to haul in giants. Not too far from there, in Alabama's Lake Guntersville, yet another angler experienced a fortuitous catch with a 13-pound bass. Guntersville's mix of rich aquatic habitats makes it a perennial favorite for bass anglers, with its expansive weed patches and submerged structures creating ideal conditions for large fish. These locations are showing that the southeastern U.S. remains a go-to region for trophy-seekers. Meanwhile, the Midwest has been lighting up the bass fishing radar as well. Minnesota's Mille Lacs Lake, often overshadowed by its more famous largemouth locales in the south, has reported excellent smallmouth bass catches. Anglers have been cashing in on perfect autumn conditions, which bring these fighters into shallow waters, making them easier to target. On the West Coast, the Delta in California continues to be one of the best spots for both quantity and quality catches. The complex network of tidal rivers and channels offers dynamic fishing experiences, with recent competition results underscoring its promise. Anglers are reporting largemouth bass of over six pounds with regularity. In the tech sphere, bass fishing catches are increasingly being shared on social media, driving a vibrant community of anglers eager to celebrate their triumphs and learn from each other’s experiences. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok see a flurry of activity as anglers post their biggest catches, offer tips, and engage in friendly challenges across states. Another interesting trend is the rise in popularity of kayak bass fishing. Lightweight and portable, kayaks give anglers access to otherwise unreachable spots. This method has grown in New England, where the region's smaller, cover-heavy waters are perfect for exploring by kayak. The Kayak Bass Fishing Tournament series there has attracted a new generation of anglers who enjoy the quiet and intimacy of being closer to the water. Recent conservation efforts, such as catch-and-release initiatives across several states, are also playing a crucial role in maintaining healthy bass populations for future generations. Organizations are emphasizing the importance of sustainable fishing practices, urging enthusiasts to take care not to harm ecosystems while enjoying their sport.

In recent years, this sport has transcended beyond just a hobby for anglers, evolving into a unique art form that draws beginners and veterans alike to serene lakes and challenging rivers. One intriguing intersection in the world of bass fishing is photography. Capturing the perfect moment when an angler lands a catch not only celebrates their success but also records the beautiful spectacle of human skill harmonizing with nature. Enter the hero of many a fly fishing photographer's toolkit: the incredibly versatile and inexpensive 50mm lens. Known for its sharp focus and stunning depth of field, this lens allows aquatic photographers to bring their subjects vibrantly to life, making even an amateur's snapshots Instagram-worthy. When it comes to planning the ultimate bass fishing trip, special attention should be paid to selecting a destination that promises both adventure and abundance. America's freshwater lakes, ranging from the expansive Lake Okeechobee in Florida to the picturesque Lake Guntersville in Alabama, offer a bounty of opportunities to catch that prize-winning largemouth bass. Equipping oneself with the right gear is, of course, paramount. A reliable rod and reel are essential, but modern anglers now look beyond mere functionality to high-tech gadgets that can elevate their fishing experience. From GPS-enabled fish finders to weatherproof tackle bags, the careful selection of gear can be the difference between a day of frustration and one filled with triumphant catches and Instagram-checking photo ops. For those eager to bridge the gap between freshwater tranquility and the thrill of saltwater fishing, the versatility of bass techniques adapts well to more adventurous pursuits. Exploring the saltier shores broadens the horizon, inviting anglers to test their skills against different challenges while bringing along their trusty fishing cameras to document the experience. In the spirit of fine tuning both body and mind, taking a cue from athletes like DJ Moore is invaluable for anglers seeking their own zen state by the water. Preparing mentally for the patience and alertness required in bass fishing ensures not only skillful catches but also a deeply satisfying connection with the environment. Moore's approach to mindfulness, focusing keenly on finishing strong, provides a metaphorical roadmap for anglers aiming to enhance their time on the water. Whether you find yourself waist-deep in a crystal-clear river or seated on the warm deck of a boat under the sun, the allure of bass fishing is compelling. It's not just about the fish, the camera-click-worthy moments, or the thrill of the chase; it's about the stories and memories woven together by nature, patience, and the joy of being outdoors.

But therein lies a missed opportunity. Winter is a great time to engage in bass fishing, especially if you’re ready to adapt to the cold conditions and learn some specialized techniques. One of the most effective approaches this season is using swim jigs. These versatile lures, when deployed correctly, can be total game-changers, leading to rewarding catches even in the chillier months. The idea is simple yet effective: maneuver your swim jig slowly, replicating the lethargic movement of prey in cold water. The patience in your technique may lead to impressive bass strikes, as these fish can't resist a vulnerable target. Winter bass often congregate in deeper waters where temperatures stagnate slightly above freezing, remaining more stable compared to fluctuating surface conditions. Here, slow-moving jigs can navigate through vegetation and rocky bottoms, areas where bass lurk for warmth, awaiting unsuspecting prey. Remember, it's all about mimicking the cadence of winter life, with a bump and roll that captures the fish's attention. The color of the jig is crucial, too. In dark, murky waters, opt for darker shades that provide silhouette contrast. In clear waters, more natural colors can do the trick. This attention to detail can significantly increase your odds of a successful strike. Further refining your winter approach is critical. One must remember that winter bass fishing doesn’t yield to the aggressive techniques of spring or summer. Instead, it calls for a softer touch. Adjust your tackle to use lighter line and smaller hooks to maintain a subtle presentation. Additionally, a slower retrieve should be top of mind; aggressive reeling will yield unsatisfying results as cold-blooded bass are less inclined to chase. Techniques are continually evolving, and shared knowledge is a gift. Many anglers turn to platforms like YouTube for valuable insights. With content creators sharing the latest tips and proven strategies for bass fishing in cooler months, you can harness this collective expertise to finely tune your winter fishing game. These resources are treasure troves—whether it's learning a new jigging technique or understanding how bass behavior shifts with season changes. Importantly, embracing the challenge of winter bass fishing is about more than just the catch. It’s the serene solitude, the crisp air, and the gentle sound of water lapping at the shore. It's about testing your skills and understanding the intricate dance between you and nature in its quieter months. Each success on the line is a testament to your patience and adaptability. So, gear up and brave the winter chill for an unforgettable fishing experience.

The meeting scheduled for December 16 could bring significant changes to fishing regulations, aiming to preserve this iconic species amid growing environmental concerns. Striped bass, known for their fighting spirit and delectable taste, are more than just a catch for anglers; they are a vital component of marine ecosystems along the Atlantic coast. These fish migrate along the coast and into freshwater rivers to spawn, making them key indicators of ecosystem health. However, striped bass populations are under threat due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change. Recreational fishing, while a cherished American tradition, has contributed to dwindling numbers, prompting calls for immediate action. Conservationists are urging the ASMFC's Striped Bass Board to implement tighter restrictions on recreational bass fishing without delay. Current environmental conditions have exacerbated the strain on striped bass populations. Warmer ocean temperatures and changing weather patterns disrupt traditional migration routes and breeding cycles. Furthermore, pollution and coastal development continue to degrade the habitats essential for their survival. The proposed restrictions will focus on reducing the number of catches allowed per angler and implementing stricter size limits to ensure younger fish can reach maturity and reproduce. These measures aim to balance the joy of fishing with the necessity of conservation, ensuring future generations can enjoy this sport. The ASMFC has a history of adapting regulations to protect valuable fish stocks, but the need for decisive action is more urgent than ever. Past measures have shown success but must be continually updated to address ongoing and emerging challenges. Community engagement is crucial in fostering sustainable fishing practices. Anglers, often the first to notice changes in fish abundance, play a significant role in conservation efforts. By supporting new regulations and adopting catch-and-release practices, they contribute directly to the sustainability of fish stocks. The December 16 meeting promises to be a turning point for striped bass conservation. With the right measures, it is possible to reverse recent declines and set a course for resilient and thriving bass populations. The ASMFC's commitment to science-based decision-making and stakeholder collaboration will be essential in charting this course. In the coming years, the challenge will be to effectively communicate the necessity and benefits of these changes to all stakeholders, ensuring the long-term success of conservation efforts. Anglers, conservationists, and policymakers must come together to underscore the importance of sustainable fishing practices.

Think of the thrill as the calm of the water is disrupted by the strike of a bass, the reel sings with excitement, and the dance of man versus fish begins. It's a story passed down through time, resonating with both the seasoned pro and the curious novice. The sport of bass fishing isn't just about catching a fish. It's about connecting with the environment, relishing in the serenity of the great outdoors while still engaging in a fierce battle of wits and skills. Anglers, both young and old, are drawn to the challenge. The adrenaline rush comes as much from the hunt as from the environment—the flick of a rod, the tension of the line, and the electrifying moment when a bass leaps out of the water. Part of the charm of bass fishing is its accessibility. Unlike some outdoor sports which require extensive travel or costly equipment, bass fishing can be enjoyed at local lakes, rivers, and sometimes even urban ponds. A basic fishing license, a sturdy rod, a box of lures, and you're ready to embark on your own local adventure. Of course, the sport also has its fair share of specialized gear and tech for those who wish to dive deeper into its intricacies. Wanda Kurtz knew this joy all too well. Alongside her late husband, Carl, she spent countless days on the water, transforming their peaceful bass fishing outings into cherished memories. Their love for the sport stands as a testament to how fishing fosters relationships and connects people through shared experiences and stories. The legacy of their bass fishing adventures serves as an inspiration, showing how the gentle embrace of nature and the thrill of the catch can build bridges between people and generations. Communities around bass fishing thrive on camaraderie and shared passion. Local clubs, national competitions, and amateur tournaments abound, showcasing talents and encouraging new anglers to take part. These gatherings are often just as much about celebrating the community as they are about the competition, offering a chance to swap stories, tips, and tricks with fellow enthusiasts. Environmental conservation is another critical aspect of the bass fishing lifestyle. Responsible anglers understand the importance of preserving natural habitats and maintaining healthy fish populations. Catch-and-release practices are widely adopted, allowing fishermen to engage with their favorite pastime while ensuring the sustainability of fish stocks for future generations. Whether you're casting your line for the first time or you're a seasoned bass fishing veteran, the allure is undeniable. Each outing is a chance to escape the mundane and bask in the glorious unpredictability of nature's playground. The lessons learned on the water—patience, respect for nature, and the thrill of the chase—translate into life skills that endure long after the fish are released back to the depths.

This region, a veritable paradise for angling enthusiasts, is celebrated for its world-class bass fishing, attracting families and fishers alike to its abundant waters where the bass aren't the only prize catch. With an exciting mix of salmon, trout, and walleye also swimming these waters, Lake Ontario becomes a vibrant tableau of aquatic life waiting for eager fishers to test their skills. But fishing isn't just about the catch; it's about immersing yourself in nature. It's about the camaraderie of sharing rod and reel stories as the sun rises or sets over the glimmering lake. Bass fishing, a seemingly leisurely pursuit, is surprisingly therapeutic and rejuvenating, offering a momentary escape from the clamor of daily life. Here, laughter mingles with the gentle lapping of waves against a canoe or boat, each casting line adding to the day's happiness. Speaking of canoes, meet Bret, an intrepid canoeist who has taken gratitude to the extreme by paddling the colossal 6,000-mile Great Loop, a trip that traces North America's expansive waterways, connecting tourists to the continent’s stunning coastal and river landscapes.

Winter bass fishing is an exhilarating challenge inviting enthusiasts to test their patience and precision. During this time, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has issued a gentle reminder for those eager to embrace the cold that starting December 1, black bass fishing season enters a special phase. The DEC encourages all outdoorsmen and women to respect bass fishing regulations during this period, which runs until June 14. This regulatory season is designed not only for the enjoyment of the community but also to ensure the conservation and longevity of black bass populations, helping these beloved fish thrive when warmer days return. Winter bass fishing is unique and rewarding in its own right. As the water temperatures drop, bass behavior shifts. They become less active and tend to gather in deeper waters where the temperature is more stable compared to shallow areas. This provides an extra layer of strategy for anglers—determination and a bit of luck might lead to moments of intense satisfaction when carefully laid plans pay off. Ambitious anglers should focus on slow, deliberate movements, since bass are less inclined to chase after fast-moving lures in the colder months. Swapping out quick-action lures for ones with a more sluggish presentation can dramatically increase the chances of attracting attention beneath the icy surface. It's a bit like teasing the fish, patiently luring them with subtle artistry and technique. Many outdoor enthusiasts might view winter as the off-season for fishing, but the pros know it's the time to sharpen their skills and adapt to nature's challenges. There's value in appreciating the stillness and beauty of frozen landscapes, whether basking in frosty solitude or enjoying camaraderie, sharing fishing stories with other brave souls at the water's edge. If you're heading out this winter, make sure to bundle up against the cold. Layered clothing, insulated gloves, and waterproof boots are essential to keeping warm and comfortable. As exhilarating as winter fishing can be, it's important to stay safe and be prepared for icy conditions both on and around the water. This winter, while respecting the DEC's reminder, anglers have a unique opportunity—a season filled with potential, offering every chance to hone skills and experience the serenity of cold-weather fishing. Appreciate the quiet transformation winter brings to the waterways and the adaptability of both fish and fisherman. Winter bass fishing isn’t just about the catch; it's about embracing the opportunity to learn more, experiment with different techniques, and foster a deeper respect for nature. So, bring on the layers, prepare your gear, and head out with a heart ready for the next big challenge—the bass await, and the adventure is just beginning.

The silence is broken only by the soft splash of the lure piercing through the glassy surface, signaling the start of an unspoken challenge between angler and fish.

But really, the allure of bass fishing is that the fish always keep you guessing, making the sport endlessly intriguing. Every bass fishing story brings a unique perspective. There are tales of the one that got away—a bass so large it took your breath away before throwing the hook in a last-act flourish. Then, there are stories filled with triumph and jubilation, where persistence paid off and a trophy-sized bass finds itself at the end of your line, the centerpiece of a well-earned photo op. The beauty of bass fishing is that it's an endeavor both personal and communal. Conversations with fellow anglers often turn into a lively exchange of tips and tales, each story ebbing and flowing like the river currents themselves. Soon, you realize that it’s not just about the fish. It’s about the camaraderie and shared respect for the natural world that connects everyone on the water. Bass fishing, like any good story, is ultimately about gratitude—the joyful acceptance of whatever the water offers. It’s about appreciating the small moments, whether it's the solo journey of a quiet afternoon or the collaborative effort of a family trip to the local fishing hole. When the sun dips below the horizon and the day comes to an end, what remains are the memories and the gratitude for having experienced another day surrounded by nature's splendor. In every cast, every catch, and every moment of the day, bass fishing reinforces a simple truth: the best stories are those that are lived. So next time you’re out on the water, remember it’s not just about landing the biggest catch.

His favorite setup involves the perfect combination of jig and minnow, a duo that bass find irresistible. The heart of Gussy’s method is selecting the right jig. He emphasizes the importance of choosing a jig with vibrant colors and the right weight to match the water conditions you’re fishing in. For murkier waters, Gussy suggests brighter hues that can capture the bass’s attention, while more subdued colors work well in clearer environments. But the magic doesn’t stop there.

The goal is to create an enticing presentation that mimics the bass's natural prey, making the fish almost unable to resist. Now, let’s talk rods. Gussy shares his preference for a medium-heavy action rod, which provides the perfect balance between sensitivity and power. This type of rod is versatile, allowing you to feel even the slightest nibble while still giving you the strength needed to reel in a hefty bass. Gussy also highlights the importance of using a durable reel. Opt for a high-quality spinning reel that offers smooth casting and retrieval, an essential for a successful bass fishing experience.

In an environment where patience and adaptability are key, there is much to be learned from the discipline of fishing. Whether for the thrill of the catch, the calm of nature, or the excitement of the unexpected, fishing offers a unique escape.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, understanding the subtleties of fall fishing can elevate your game to new heights. In this exciting season, strategies like the innovative Wheeler's ChatterBait and Trailer System and the fine-tuned techniques learned from a decade of fall swing head fishing promise to deliver the goods. Fall bass fishing is renowned for its dynamic conditions; the drop in water temperatures triggers bass to become more active as they feed aggressively in preparation for winter. It's a crucial time for anglers to pattern bass behavior, seeking out those prime feeding spots. Key to success are the unique tools and techniques developed by expert anglers. Enter Wheeler's ChatterBait and Trailer System, a game-changer in the bass fishing world. This setup combines the erratic vibration of a chatterbait with a custom trailer, creating an irresistible presentation that bass simply can't resist. Noted for its effectiveness in mimicking distressed prey, this combo is especially potent in murky waters where visibility is low. YouTube videos showcasing this method have garnered thousands of views, demonstrating its widespread appeal among the fishing community. But what about those who prefer a more subtle approach? Ten years of honing the art of fall swing head fishing has produced insights that are now being shared with wider audiences. This technique leverages a swing head jig—an adjustable, free-swinging lure that imparts a natural, lifelike motion. The versatility of the swing head allows it to navigate through varying terrains, making it an indispensable tool for targeting bass lurking in cover or along the bottom. A tried-and-true tactic involves slowly dragging the swing head along the substrate, allowing it to emulate a baitfish or crawdad skittering about. This finesse-driven method allows anglers to maintain contact with the lakebed, interpreting the underwater terrain through subtle rod movements. Such an intimate connection with the environment not only enhances the fishing experience but also increases the likelihood of hooking into those wary, late-season bass. For those eager to maximize their success this fall, integrating these techniques into your repertoire can make a significant difference. Whether it's the high-energy appeal of Wheeler's ChatterBait system or the nuanced precision of the swing head jig, these strategies offer something for everyone looking to up their bass game. Remember, the beauty of bass fishing lies in its diversity. There's always room to experiment with new lures, techniques, and patterns, turning each trip into a thrilling adventure. So gear up, hit the water, and enjoy the thrill of fall bass fishing at its finest. Happy fishing! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The air turns crisp, the leaves paint the landscape, and the bass are on the move, making it the perfect season for some angling excitement. To navigate this angler's paradise, take a cue from two seasoned pros, Wes Logan and Brandon Cobb, who share their expert strategies for reeling in bass during this time of year. First up, Wes Logan's buzzbait tips are bound to turn your fall fishing trip into a resounding success. Logan, known for his prowess with buzzbaits, emphasizes the importance of timing and weather conditions when selecting this topwater lure. As temperatures drop, bass become more active near the surface, making buzzbaits an excellent choice. Logan recommends targeting shallow waters early in the morning or late in the afternoon when bass are feeding aggressively. The erratic motion and loud noise of a buzzbait can mimic a distressed baitfish, enticing even the wariest bass to strike. On the other hand, for those eager to pursue spotted bass, Brandon Cobb offers a seasonal guide that’s worth its weight in largemouths. Spotted bass are known for their feisty nature and can be tricky to catch as seasons change. Cobb suggests focusing on reservoir systems where spotted bass are prevalent. In the fall, these fish often gather near submerged structures. A keen understanding of the lake's geography, paired with a strategic selection of lures like drop shots or jerkbaits, can significantly enhance your catch rate. Cobb stresses the importance of adjusting your techniques based on the bass's behavior. As water temperatures dip, spotted bass may show a preference for slower presentations that mimic the natural pace of their forage. By adapting to the patterns of the fish, anglers increase their chances of landing those prized spotties. Both Logan and Cobb agree that fall bass fishing is more about finesse than force. The key lies in understanding the bass's instincts and the subtle changes in their environment. For those committed to mastering the art, patience and practice will pay off with exhilarating catches and tales of victory. This autumn, embrace the thrill of the chase. Equip yourself with Logan's and Cobb's insights, and let the waters reveal their treasures. Whether it's the explosive strike of a largemouth on a buzzbait or the cunning tug of a spotted bass, fall fishing promises an adventure that's as bountiful as it is unforgettable.

The crisp air and changing leaves provide a perfect backdrop for bass fishing, offering a quieter, less crowded experience compared to the summer chaos. Let’s dive into why you should trade your rifle for a rod this season and make the most of fall fishing. First and foremost, the fall feeding frenzy is a prime opportunity for bass fishing enthusiasts. As water temperatures drop, bass activity heats up. Fish are heavily feeding in preparation for winter, meaning they are more aggressive and easier to catch. They’re like high-school athletes carb-loading before a big game, gobbling up any bait that comes their way. The lack of competition is an added bonus during this time of year. With most people focused on hunting deer or pheasant, lakes and rivers are far less crowded. This not only provides a peaceful setting but also means more bass for you. Imagine having an entire lake almost to yourself, the only sounds being the swish of your line in the water and the rustling of the wind through the trees. One crucial tip for capitalizing on this feeding frenzy involves mimicry. During fall, bass prey on smaller fish that are feeding on baitfish moving towards shallower waters. Anglers can take advantage of this by using lures that imitate these baitfish. Crankbaits and spinnerbaits can be extremely effective, so make sure they have a natural swimming action to entice a bite. It's also important to pay attention to weather patterns and water conditions. On cloudy, overcast days, bass tend to roam more, making them easier to target in open water. When the sun is shining bright, bass typically retreat to shaded areas or deeper waters, so adjust your approach accordingly. Additionally, early morning and late afternoon remain prime time for activity, much like during the summer. Another key tip is to focus on structure and cover. Fallen trees, rock piles, and weed beds are like fish magnets during fall. Bass use these structures not only as hiding places but as strategic spots to ambush prey. Target these areas, and you'll likely find a cluster of fish ready to strike. The changing autumn scenery also makes for an unforgettable fishing experience. The vibrant hues of orange, red, and gold reflecting off the waters create a serene environment that's hard to match. It’s a double win—catching fish and soaking in nature’s splendor. Fall is often overlooked by anglers who switch gears for hunting, but those who stick around on the water are rewarded with exceptional fishing experiences. With bass in feeding mode, fewer crowds, and tips to maximize your catch, the late fall offers some of the best bass fishing conditions of the year. Grab your gear, head to the water, and embrace the fall frenzy—it’s time to hook the big one in the heart of the season.

But let's flip the script. Imagine casting your line into the salty tang of the ocean, navigating challenging waters, and unexpectedly hauling in a tautog that leaves you awestruck. This is precisely the kind of fish tale that brings the sport to life. While bass fishing remains one of the most cherished pursuits among anglers, there's an ocean of possibilities when you venture beyond freshwater. Saltwater fly fishing has taken center stage, not just for its enticing unpredictability but for the sheer joy of connecting with nature in its most raw and untamed form. Imagine the adrenaline rush when a tautog, known for its elusive nature, bites the lure—transforming what was supposed to be an average fishing day into a story of a lifetime. A recent jaw-dropping moment in the angling community was when a world record tautog was caught on a fly rod, an achievement that redefines what we know about bass fishing's versatility. This unexpected catch not only adds an exciting twist to fishing narratives but also underscores the importance of adaptability and innovation—key traits that have anglers returning to these waters time and again. Speaking of adaptability, let's draw a fun parallel to the world of sports where versatility is just as celebrated. Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Jonathan Gannon recently praised his team's defensive adaptability—a quality that mirrors the skills needed in fishing. Whether you're facing a formidable opponent on the football field or the unpredictable conditions of saltwater fishing, being prepared for the unexpected is the name of the game. When it comes to gear, the world of angling holds exciting opportunities for those eager to accessorize. From specialized rods to intricate flies designed to entice even the most skeptical fish, the right equipment sets the stage for success. And while the goal for many remains to catch the big one, the journey itself—the gear reviews, destination explorations, and hands-on experiences—often transforms a simple hobby into a lifelong passion. Destinations are another crucial part of this adventure, offering a fresh perspective and new challenges. From the intricate network of freshwater lakes to the vast expanse of salty seas, each location offers a unique backdrop.

Enthusiasts know that the thrill lies not just in the catch, but in the chase—the anticipation of the perfect strike and the fight that ensues. With its allure growing by leaps and bounds, bass fishing has evolved beyond traditional methods, welcoming a wave of technological advancements to enhance the experience. One such innovation is the integration of sonar technology, which has significantly influenced the bass population and the way anglers approach fishing. Sonar devices allow fishermen to peer into the underwater world with remarkable clarity, unveiling the mystery of what lies beneath the surface. By sending sound waves and reading their echoes, sonar paints a vivid picture of the aquatic environment, pinpointing the location of fish, identifying underwater structures where bass might hide, and detailing water depth and temperature. This technological edge has sparked a revolution in bass fishing strategy. No longer do anglers blindly cast their lines in hope of a bite; instead, they use sonar to meticulously read their environment and plan their approach. This method is not only more efficient but also heightens the thrill of the sport, transforming a good day on the water into a legendary one. However, this surge in sonar usage raises an important point of discussion about its impact on bass populations and fisheries management.

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 16:12:47 -0000 full Inception Point AI Bass fishing is more than just a hobby; it's an adventure packed with excitement, strategy, and a touch of science. Enthusiasts know that the thrill lies not just in the catch, but in the chase—the anticipation of the perfect strike and the fight that ensues. With its allure growing by leaps and bounds, bass fishing has evolved beyond traditional methods, welcoming a wave of technological advancements to enhance the experience. One such innovation is the integration of sonar technology, which has significantly influenced the bass population and the way anglers approach fishing. Sonar devices allow fishermen to peer into the underwater world with remarkable clarity, unveiling the mystery of what lies beneath the surface. By sending sound waves and reading their echoes, sonar paints a vivid picture of the aquatic environment, pinpointing the location of fish, identifying underwater structures where bass might hide, and detailing water depth and temperature. This technological edge has sparked a revolution in bass fishing strategy. No longer do anglers blindly cast their lines in hope of a bite; instead, they use sonar to meticulously read their environment and plan their approach. This method is not only more efficient but also heightens the thrill of the sport, transforming a good day on the water into a legendary one. However, this surge in sonar usage raises an important point of discussion about its impact on bass populations and fisheries management.

As the season progresses and temperatures drop, the waters cool from their summer highs, typically settling between 50 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. This cooling trend triggers bass to feed aggressively in preparation for the winter, making it an opportune time for anglers to cast their lines. Selecting the right lure during fall is key to a successful bass fishing expedition. The trick lies in understanding how bass react to the shifting water temperatures. As the water cools, their metabolism slows down, prompting these fish to move sluggishly. Anglers need to opt for lures that mimic the natural movements and availability of baitfish during this time. Jerkbaits and crankbaits are prime choices in the early fall when water temperatures are relatively warmer. These lures are efficient at mimicking smaller fish that bass prey upon. A suspension jerkbait, in particular, mimics the injured baitfish, capturing the attention of lurking bass ready for a meal. As fall advances and water further cools, switch to jigs and spinnerbaits. These lures provide a slower, more deliberate presentation that aligns with the sluggish activity of bass in colder waters. Colors and patterns also play a crucial role. Lures with natural hues like silver and white are highly effective, as they closely resemble shad, a favorite meal for bass during fall. However, do not shy away from experimenting with more vibrant colors like chartreuse or orange, which can stand out in murky water conditions and attract curious fish. In addition to lure selection, understanding bass behavior is paramount. During the fall, bass migrate from deeper, cooler waters to shallower areas where the sun warms the water. Look for them near structures such as rocks, fallen trees, and weed beds, where they await passing food. Early morning and late afternoon are peak times to fish, as bass are most active then. It’s not just about the catch; the thrill of the chase and the ever-changing strategies keep seasoned anglers addicted and newcomers enticed. Like a chess game against nature, each cast requires tactical thinking and adaptability—factors that make bass fishing a compelling sport. The community aspect of bass fishing adds to its allure. Many fishing enthusiasts gather online to share tips, techniques, and triumphant stories. YouTube channels dedicated to bass fishing provide valuable insights, from water temperature guides to lure selection tips, enriching the learning curve for both novice and veteran anglers. These platforms foster a camaraderie and sense of belonging, uniting people who share a common passion for the thrill of the catch. So, grab your gear and head to the water. Fall is the perfect season to hone your fishing skills and perhaps hook that trophy bass you've been dreaming about.

My tale begins with my dad, a lifelong bass enthusiast, particularly smitten with the feisty smallmouth. It was he who kindled my passion for angling, transforming quiet weekends into thrilling expeditions as we journeyed to the heart of bass country. These outings were about more than just fishing. Each trip was an adventure of discovery, where I learned to appreciate the subtle differences between smallmouth and largemouth bass, the importance of patience, and the thrill of the catch. My father's hands, weathered and steady, were a testament to years of casting and reeling. His stories, each a chapter of triumphs and near misses, painted vivid landscapes of lakes and rivers teeming with the promise of bass. A couple of weeks ago, the ritual unfolded once more. We loaded the gear into the old, faithful boat and set out before dawn. The lake greeted us with its familiar whisper as the first light painted the water with hues of gold and blue. Each cast was a promise, arcing through the crisp air before kissing the water with a soft ripple - a symphony only an angler truly understands. This time, luck was on my side. A proud smallmouth bass fought its way onto my line, a testament to both the knowledge my father had imparted and the spirit of adventure he instilled in me. I could see his eyes light up with pride as I reeled in my catch. The bass was as delighted as we were, putting on a spectacular aerial display before surrendering to the net with the grace of a seasoned dancer taking a final bow. The thrill of landing a bass is unlike any other experience. It's part strategy, part battle of wills: angler versus fish, nature's most intricate chess match. And it's addictive. Each outing has deepened my appreciation for this sport and my connection with my father, who navigated these waters long before I did. Our journey into the world of bass fishing isn't just about the fish. It's a celebration of shared moments and learning at the knee of the person who taught me to value the serenity of nature and the excitement lurking beneath its surface. Bass fishing is where my heart is, not only because of the fish but because of the connection it symbolizes between my father and me. Whether casting into unknown waters or revisiting familiar fishing spots, bass fishing constantly calls us back. It's an enduring legacy of patience, persistence, and passion, taught to me by my dad, carried forward with each cast of my line, and reflected in every scale that shimmers in the sunlight. Through each fishing story and every bass caught, I honor my father's love for this pursuit, knowing that someday, I'll pass on this vibrant tradition of bass fishing, just as it was passed on to me.

Imagine standing on the surf, rod in hand, while seabirds circle above a seething mass of stripers tearing through a school of baitfish. Suddenly, you're part of a dynamic natural spectacle—a fisherman’s dream that requires both patience and spontaneity. The term "blitz" itself conjures images of speed and ferocity, aptly described in The Complete Book of Striped Bass Fishing, co-authored by Hal Lyman in 1954. Whether a seasoned angler or a newbie, witnessing a striper blitz is a rite of passage in the community of bass fishing. These feeding frenzies happen when stripers—driven by an ancient instinct—pursue vast shoals of baitfish, pushing them toward the surface, creating a visible tumult. But before you dash off to chase your very own blitz, remember the essential lesson: blitz chasing is as much about respect and responsibility as it is about the thrill. The temptation to instantly cast into the fray can cloud judgment and lead to imprudent behavior. Anglers often forget the simple code of ethics necessary to preserve this precious pastime. Overzealous pursuits can disturb the ecosystem, risking damage to the fish population and their environment. Understanding the behavior of stripers is key. These fish are not mindless in their pursuit; they are displaying sophisticated hunting techniques honed over centuries. By carefully observing their patterns and respecting their space, an angler can increase both their chances of a successful catch and their enjoyment of the process. After all, fishing is not just about the finale but the tranquil anticipation, the shared stories, and the lessons learned along the way. The right equipment and preparation can make all the difference. Fast action rods and sturdy reels are favored in blitz conditions, but so is simplicity. Seasoned blitz chasers often prefer a streamlined tackle box, focusing more on skill and observation than sheer gear. Understanding local habitats and tidal movements also provides an edge. Apart from that, having an arsenal of surface lures mimicking the local baitfish can trick even the wariest bass. However, perhaps the most essential piece of advice is to embrace adaptability. Blitzes are famously unpredictable, luring anglers to try again and again. Yet therein lies the charm—a humble reminder that nature writes its own scripts. As you learn to adapt, you might just discover new fishing spots or witness other wonders of nature. Ultimately, responsible and ethical fishing enhances the magic of blitz chasing. It’s a vigorous dance between human and nature, where mutual respect leads to moments that stay with you long after the fish have swum away. So next time you hear of a striper blitz upon the surf, remember to grab your tackle, but leave the chaos behind.

Anglers have found the bass fishing to be fair, with the added excitement of surface feeding activity that ensures you’re not just staring at a still line all day. There’s magic in the air—perhaps rivaling the enchantment of a crackling campfire illuminating a cool November evening. Local fishermen have divulged that topwater lures have been particularly effective this season.

It’s a thrilling sight that promises a day of fun, whether you're a long-time angler or a newcomer looking to test your skills in the great outdoors.

These optimal times offer both action and peaceful moments that make any fishing day memorable. This time of year, Lake Buncombe is more than just a fishing destination; it becomes a picturesque escape with vibrant foliage surrounding every cast and catch. The rustling leaves and cool breezes are perfect companions for a serene day on the water, only interrupted by the splash of a hooked bass or the gentle putter of a fishing boat trolling by. In between the bites and scenic views, tales and legends of autumn fishing in Georgia flow as freely as the water. The charm of the lake combines seamlessly with the narratives crafted in “Campfire Magic,” a part of this year’s “Come November” Fall Fiction Series from Georgia Outdoor News.

With a focus on bass fishing, let's dive into some exciting strategies that are making waves. Jerkbaits and minnow lures are quickly becoming favorites among bass enthusiasts, especially when trying to unlock the mystery of the suspended bass. These elusive fish often pose a challenge because they hang out between surface and bottom depths, appearing indifferent to typical baits. A well-chosen jerkbait mimics an injured baitfish, triggering a predatory response that bass find irresistible. Anglers from YouTube communities have shared their exhilarating experiences where a single flick of a minnow lure can turn a seemingly desolate day on the water into a rewarding catch fest. Turning back the pages of time, the spinnerbait holds its place as a classic in the arsenal of any bass angler. Its history is rich, albeit not as lengthy as some might expect, but its effectiveness has trimmed many a tackle box, making room for the ever-reliable spinnerbait. Invented to capitalize on the bass’s predatory instincts, the spinnerbait’s flashy blades create vibrations and reflections that mimic an easy prey scenario. Despite its long-standing presence, the spinnerbait remains a staple, providing an edge when bass are lurking in murkier waters or thick vegetation. As leaves change and temperatures dip, fall signals a new chapter for bass and those who seek them. Experts recommend taking advantage of shallow docks during this time, utilizing the Texas rig and jig tactics to draw out bass lurking in these transitional areas. Wired2Fish tips highlight the importance of precision casting alongside the docks and working the intricacies of the structure to tempt lurking bass. The versatility of a Texas rig allows for weedless presentations that can seduce bass out from under heavy cover, while jigs offer a tempting meal with their natural fall through the water column. Each technique carries its own story, passed down through generations or shared online as new theories and practices emerge. Today's bass fishing landscape truly benefits from this blend of tradition and innovation, as anglers continue to refine their skills while rediscovering time-honored methods. Whether you're a novice eager to land your first big catch or a seasoned veteran looking for an edge, these strategies prove that there's always something new to learn and enjoy in the world of bass fishing. Grab your gear and hit the water with these tactics in mind—because there's nothing quite like the thrill of outsmarting bass with both new and old tricks of the trade.

Mascoma high school, for instance, is pioneering this refreshing approach. Their vibrant sports program acknowledges that participating in multiple sports can enrich a student-athlete's experience and skill set, fostering greater overall development. One standout example of this philosophy in action is their flourishing bass fishing team. Yes, you heard it right—bass fishing is a sport, and Upper Valley athletes are diving into the waters with as much enthusiasm as they might a basketball court or soccer field. Bass fishing is more than just casting a line; it's a discipline that demands patience, strategy, and a deep connection with nature. It represents a refreshing change of pace from high-pressure, high-intensity sports, offering a unique competitive spirit intertwined with tranquility. Mascoma's commitment to providing students with varied athletic experiences isn't just about recreation; it’s about equipping them with diverse skills and broadening their horizons. Transitioning between different sports disciplines develops agility, flexibility, and adaptation—skills crucial not only in sports but also in life. This holistic approach debunks the myth that focusing solely on one sport is the pathway to success, suggesting instead that balance and variety might just be the secret ingredients. Students at Mascoma and similar schools embody dedication across multiple sports, allowing them to break free of the societal push toward specialization. They are shattering the stereotype that athletes must commit to just one pursuit to excel. By promoting a culture where kids are encouraged to jump from the football field one season to the bass boat the next, these schools foster well-rounded and fulfilled individuals. The embrace of unconventional sports like bass fishing also speaks to the growing trend of recognizing diverse athletic interests. As students engage in this sport, they learn essential life skills—like problem-solving and environmental stewardship—while fostering a lifetime appreciation for the outdoors. The integration of bass fishing into school sports programs not only diversifies the athletic offerings but also brings a touch of fun and novelty that's bound to attract a wide range of students. The larger message, beyond bass fishing or any specific sport, is that Upper Valley schools are challenging the status quo, proving that variety is not merely the spice of life—it might be the key to unlocking potential. Through opportunities to dip their toes in numerous athletic waters, students develop broader interpersonal connections, sharpen varied skill sets, and most importantly, have fun. Upper Valley's initiative to allow athletes to diversify reflects a broader societal rethinking of youth sports.

For those wanting to level up their angling game, particularly in the lush waters of East Texas, learning about the best lures can make all the difference. With advice pulled straight from local experts and online bass fishing communities, we're diving into the tried-and-true techniques and tips that will have you reeling in trophies in no time. East Texas is a bass angler's paradise, with its naturally rich waters providing the perfect habitat for largemouth bass, the crown jewel for many seasoned fishermen. One does not simply wade into these waters without preparation; knowing what works in the changing seasons is crucial. October, in particular, is a critical period that demands the right bait selection as bass transition between feeding habits. So, what should you pack in your tackle box for a successful October outing? The top five baits to consider, according to TacticalBassin, a revered voice within the fishing community with over 60K viewers learning from their expertly curated videos, include crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs, topwater frogs, and plastic worms. These baits are specifically chosen for their ability to mimic the movements and sounds that trigger strikes from even the most elusive fish. Crankbaits are an essential part of any fishing arsenal. Their diverse range of colors and sizes allow anglers to reach different depths, making them especially effective as bass adjust to cooler temperatures. Spinnerbaits, with their flashy, vibrating action, are perfect for murky waters typical of many East Texas lakes in autumn, helping to attract the attention of bass lying in ambush. Jigs come next, known for their versatility and success at getting bass to bite from hidden cover or structure. They can mimic crawfish skittering across the bottom, which bass find irresistible. Topwater frogs, on the other hand, offer a thrilling visual experience. Their ability to skim over mats of vegetation means they’re best used in early mornings and late afternoons when surface activity heightens. Lastly, plastic worms, with their soft, lifelike texture, are superb for when you need to slow things down. Rigging these worms can provide subtle actions that convince bass to strike when they might otherwise ignore faster-moving lures. And let's not forget the value of a healthy collection of fishing lures; investing in a range of $240 worth of lures might seem steep to some, but seasoned anglers know that having the right lure at the right time is invaluable. Each type offers its own charm and specific appeal, tapping into the instincts of these cunning critters. While technology and expert advice can exponentially raise your chances of landing that trophy bass, nothing quite beats the thrill of trial and error out on the water.

As autumn graces the lakes with a chill, avid anglers know this is prime time to reel in the big ones. The fall cold fronts draw bass closer to the shore, triggering a feeding frenzy that's irresistible to the seasoned fisherman. Imagine casting your line on a warm, windy Wednesday in St. Louis, where the forecast promises perfect conditions for bass angling adventure. With leaves rustling and a crisp breeze in the air, the anticipation builds as the bait plummets into the water. Expert angler Colton Posey reveals that all the pros have a secret strategy for these fall conditions: adapting to the bass's behavior. Bass, much like us, feel the change in season. The cooler temperatures of fall bring them out of their deep summer hides. During a cold front, bass activity heightens during midday warmth. Anglers must employ a mix of patience, precision, and the right equipment to make the most of these fleeting golden opportunities. Posey shares his go-to tactics: slow down your bait retrieval to mimic the sluggish prey fish, and watch how bass get tempted into a bite. Utilizing spinnerbaits or crankbaits in natural colors can make all the difference. These lures imitate small fish or crawfish, which are delicious menu items for bass. Furthermore, changing up retrieves on each cast can invite curious bass to strike. A critical tip from Posey's playbook involves the location choice. Look for structures like fallen trees, rock formations, and vegetation beds where bass like to ambush their prey. Position yourself for a solid cast and hold steady – this is where patience pays off. When the bass bite, it's a jolt of excitement that's both challenging and rewarding. Another fun aspect of fall bass fishing is the scenery. The rich tapestry of autumn colors provides a stunning backdrop to your fishing endeavors, enhancing both the experience and the Instagram-worthiness of your day. The serene beauty of a lake draped in shades of gold, orange, and red perfectly contrasts with the thrill of reeling in your catch. Engaging with fellow anglers can also be a rewarding experience. Sharing tips, tricks, and stories by the water’s edge fosters a community bound by a shared passion for fishing. Whether you're exchanging successes or lamenting the one that got away, these moments contribute to the enduring camaraderie of the bass fishing world. While bass fishing may seem like a solitary sport, it brings together people from all walks of life, united in their eagerness to connect with nature and enjoy the thrill of the chase. This fall, let the crisp air and rustling leaves guide you to the water's edge.

While most anglers are genuinely in pursuit of the perfect catch, there's a story so audacious it has become infamous in the fishing community: the legend of the most prolific cheater in bass fishing history. Once upon a time, on the vast and beloved Lake Guntersville, which rivals even the famous Douglas Lake in scenic beauty and bass abundance, an angler named Jack was a rising star. Jack had a charming grin and casts so perfect they seemed almost poetic. Everyone wanted to fish like Jack, and for a time, he wore the crown of bass fishing glory. However, Jack's quick ascent to fame raised eyebrows. Rumors floated through the tournaments like driftwood on the water—too numerous to be ignored. People began to ask, how does he consistently out-fish even the most seasoned professionals? The answer came in a shocking revelation that rocked the fishing community to its core. Jack's secret was not talent alone but a sly trickery of the highest order. He had been slipping pre-caught bass into his livewell, sizes and weights perfectly selected to give him the edge over his competition. This clever deceit went unnoticed until a particularly shrewd tournament official, suspicious of Jack’s uncanny success, decided to investigate further. What unfolded was akin to a plot twist in an epic thriller. At a major championship, officials kept a close watch, catching Jack in the act of swapping out his catches. The audience gasped in disbelief as he was exposed, and Jack’s reputation tumbled like an avalanche, setting the sport back on its heels. Bass fishing, like football, has its historical moments of unexpected intrigue—the craziness of it all often plays out like the NFL's most surprising upsets. The drama, the stakes, and the passion collide, whether it's a football player pulling off a Hail Mary or an angler landing a historic catch. Yet, while upsets in football can lead to jubilant celebrations, Jack's scandal served as a cautionary tale, a reminder of integrity's immense value. The aftermath redefined bass fishing competition with stricter regulations, ethical compliance, and fairness, ensuring the sport's spirit remained untarnished by similar misdeeds in the future. Jack's notoriety serves as a perpetual reminder that while skill is crucial, honor must always steer the ship, or in this case, the boat. In the end, bass fishing endures, with tales of legendary hauls and sun-drenched afternoons spent by the lake's edge. Guntersville still rivals Douglas in beauty, providing the perfect backdrop for new stories of triumph and joy. With lessons learned and anglers now fervently committed to fair play, the sport thrives, as captivating as ever, with each cast holding the promise of new tales and adventures.

With their elusive yet rewarding nature, bass continue to deliver that electrifying pull on the line that keeps fishers casting time and again. This season's upturn in catch rates in Bays de Noc makes it a prime location for casting your lot with nature's feistiest swimmers. It's not just the quantity that's grown but the quality of the bass caught, thrilling seasoned anglers and newcomers alike. And let’s not forget about the walleye—a prized catch for its delicate taste and challenging pursuit. As Michigan’s cool waters yield increased walleye numbers, excitement fizzles on the surface among the fishing community. These nocturnal feeders require patience and skill, bringing a sense of triumph that seasoned anglers cherish. Yet, amidst the triumphs lies a curiosity—perch, the perennial favorite for its mild, sweet flavor, remains unchanged in catch rates. While it's steady, Michigan’s perch still have their dedicated followers who relish the stability this brings, offering a quiet counterpoint to the bass and walleye bonanza. Fishing isn’t just about catching fish, though; it's also about participating in a vibrant community. Across the state line in Wisconsin, this camaraderie is celebrated as nature enthusiasts gear up for the federal duck stamp contest—a prestigious event that has crowned its winner for the third year with as much sweetness as a first victory. The joy of fishing, like art, lies in the balance of persistence and passion, and there is plenty to be shared between the states. Whether it's the bass and walleye bonanza in Michigan's scenic waters or savoring the tradition of Wisconsin's duck stamp contest, the Midwest continues to charm and invite all who seek the thrill of natural beauty and the joy of the catch. So, gather your gear, prep your bait, and carve out some time for an adventure in Bays de Noc. The bass are biting, the walleye are plentiful, and who knows, maybe this is the year you bring home a prize catch—or at least a story worth telling.

While many anglers may associate the fall months with the trout's so-called "Fall Feed Bag," bass fishing proves to be the unexpected gem of the season. As temperatures drop, the waters cool, and bass become more active, bringing both seasoned anglers and newbies alike to the water with rods in hand. In the world of bass fishing, there’s nothing like the excitement that accompanies the fall season. Throughout lakes and rivers, bass begin their frolicsome dance, chasing baitfish with a ferocity that's captivating to witness. These months are a prime time for anglers to catch record-breaking bass as they feed aggressively in preparation for the winter’s slower days. The strategic focus on these seemingly elusive creatures pays off with the right knowledge and gear. For those looking to elevate their bass fishing game, integrating metal lures into their tackle box is a sure way to increase catch rates. Renowned among bass anglers, there are three essential metal lures that stand out for capturing the attention—and appetites—of bass: the Spoon, the Blade Bait, and the Jigging Spoon. Each brings its unique flair, creating a seductive shimmer in the water that bass find irresistible. The Spoon lure, with its curvaceous build, produces a wobbly action that mimics distressed baitfish, making it a nucleus of attraction for bass on the hunt. Meanwhile, the Blade Bait is known for its rapid vibrations that send a sensory overload through the water, begging for attention from bass looking for their next meal. Lastly, the Jigging Spoon proves essential for more vertical fishing, making it ideal for reaching bass hiding at various water depths. Fall fisheries often see anglers exploring both shallow and deep waters. The unpredictable weather can shift bass feeding patterns, requiring adaptability from anglers. Wearing layers on crisp fall mornings can help keep you focused and comfortable, letting you optimize your time on the water. The thrilling fight of landing a bass under the autumn skies is an experience filled with vibrant hues of both nature and success. Yet, the heart of bass fishing lies not only in the catches but in the experiences shared with fellow anglers and the serenity found amidst nature’s splendor. It’s about the laughter echoing across the water, the stories exchanged by the fire post-fishing, and the indefinable peace that comes as you cast your line into the water. For those who might be venturing on a mixed fishing expedition, it’s beneficial to note the myths surrounding the ubiquitous "Fall Feed Bag" associated with trout. While it’s primarily a trout fishing legend, it nevertheless casts a spotlight on the fall frenzy in water bodies, enriching your overall fishing narrative.

Anglers along the coasts are gearing up for what local experts describe as "pretty good" conditions. The waves are whispering with opportunities for those keen enough to listen, and the fish aren't holding their silence. It's a tale of nature's dance, where patience meets excitement—one cast at a time. Striped bass, known affectionately as "stripers," have long been revered as the heart and soul of our cherished fishing trips. Their iconic black stripes and daring fights have made them the prime targets of countless fishing enthusiasts. While this year's action isn't exactly setting record books ablaze, it's providing just the right mix of challenge and reward, enough to keep rods bending and spirits high. Local fishing towns are awash with tales of recent catches. Stories of "the one that got away" are interspersed with proud faces posing with their prize catches. From sun-drenched piers to the quiet stillness of a moonlit shoreline, the pursuit of these majestic creatures is more than just a hobby; it's a tradition. But the conversation surrounding striped bass is not just about the thrill of the catch. There's an urgent call to action echoing through the fishing communities regarding the need for sustainable management of striper populations. While the joy of reeling in a striped bass is unmatched, there's a growing recognition of our responsibility to ensure these opportunities endure for future generations. Fishery experts are nudging anglers toward meaningful actions to protect striped bass populations. Suggestions range from supporting stricter management strategies that regulate catch limits to creating protected breeding areas to safeguard young stripers. The push is on for education within the community, where knowledge of best practices can lead to more conscientious fishing habits. Balancing the scales between enjoyment and conservation is no easy feat, but it's a commitment worth making. After all, it's this balance that ensures the continuity of adventures in bass fishing. The thrill of the challenge, the splash as the fish hits the water, and the quiet satisfaction of an ocean sunset will always be a part of the fabric of fishing lore, as long as we take steps toward preservation today. For the passionate angler, this season is a reminder of what was, what is, and what could be. The current "pretty good" state of bass fishing, while not extraordinary, still holds promise. By acting wisely and supporting conservation efforts, we can transform "pretty good" into "great" and beyond, preserving the thrill of the catch not just for ourselves, but for the countless anglers who will cast their lines into waters yet to come.

Anglers, conservationists, and policymakers are coming together to ensure a sustainable future for this beloved pastime. Kicking things off, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) has made headlines with its recent recommendations for sea bass fishing limits for 2025 in key UK and Irish waters. Recognizing the need to balance fishing interests with environmental sustainability, ICES has proposed these new catch limits to protect bass populations for future generations. This move is set to ensure that this iconic species continues to flourish in its natural habitat, providing endless opportunities for fishing enthusiasts to hook the catch of the day. Meanwhile, a pioneering project in Norway is tackling a different kind of challenge in the fishing industry—gear loss. Losing gear is not only frustrating for anglers but also a significant environmental issue. The project aims to reduce this loss, which will benefit both professional and recreational fishers. By implementing innovative tracking technologies and engaging local fishing communities, Norway is setting an example of how the fishing industry can take proactive steps to minimize its ecological footprint. In addition to the efforts in Norway and by ICES, there's exciting news for whiting fishers, as ICES has increased whiting catch advice for 2025. This decision reflects improved stock health and a commitment to maintaining sustainable fishing practices. Looking at the bigger picture, the bass fishing industry is leveraging insights from projects like Norway's and adapting practices to safeguard marine resources. For anglers, these developments promise a future where the joys of bass fishing can be enjoyed without compromising the environment. With sustainable practices and cutting-edge technology, the world of bass fishing is poised for an exciting and responsible future. Whether you’re casting a line in the tranquil lakes of Scandinavia or the lively waters around the UK and Ireland, the thrill of the catch is evolving into a journey of sustainability and stewardship. Now, every cast doesn’t just mean a potential trophy fish, but a step toward ensuring that these exhilarating marine ecosystems will thrive for generations to come. As bass fishing continues to evolve, these initiatives serve as a reminder that thoughtful stewardship and modern innovation can indeed work hand-in-hand. More than ever before, the angling community is stepping up to embrace a culture of responsibility, ensuring the legacy of bass fishing endures.

In a unique move that highlights the growing interest in competitive bass fishing, Ugaste is awarding scholarships to high school bass fishing clubs. This initiative not only acknowledges the skills required in bass fishing but also encourages students to engage with the great outdoors while furthering their education. Bass fishing, often seen as a leisurely escape, has surprisingly become a burgeoning competitive sport in schools across the nation. Traditionally associated with leisurely weekend retreats, this sport is now garnering attention for its strategic depth and the camaraderie it fosters among young anglers. By offering scholarships, Ugaste aims to motivate students to hone their fishing tactics, learn about aquatic ecosystems, and understand the intricacies of time management—all of which are integral to competitive fishing. In Illinois, high school bass fishing clubs provide students an outlet to develop these skills while fostering a sense of community and responsibility toward the environment. The scholarship program initiated by Ugaste is not only lauded for its forward-thinking approach but also for putting the spotlight on an unconventional sport within high schools. It breaks the mold of typical scholarship offerings by specifically targeting a sport rooted deeply in patience, focus, and an appreciation of nature. As National Farmer’s Day reminds us of the hardworking farmers dedicated to nurturing the land and feeding the nation, initiatives like Ugaste’s bring attention to an equally important aspect of understanding and engaging with our natural resources. Bass fishing, though worlds apart from farming, shares a common thread—respect for nature and the vital ecosystems that support our lives. The scholarships offered by Ugaste serve a dual purpose: they provide financial support for further education while also validating the significance of bass fishing as a skillful and worthwhile pursuit. By recognizing the dedication and strategic thinking involved in this sport, Ugaste is offering young anglers a chance to not only pursue their passion but to gain knowledge and skills that extend beyond the fishing rod. Through such creative programs, high school athletes are provided platforms to showcase their talent in a sport that seldom receives mainstream media attention. This initiative exemplifies Ugaste’s commitment to innovative educational opportunities that cater to diverse student interests and talents. It's a testament to how leisure activities can transform into platforms for academic growth, personal development, and even career pathways.

Anglers like Capt. Joe Srouji of Angler Edge Outdoors report that bass and walleye fishing have been quite hit or miss, largely due to the unpredictable winds stirring up the local waters. Despite the fickle nature of the season, avid fishers are still eagerly casting their lines, driven by the thrill of reeling in that elusive big catch. The ever-shifting conditions have forced enthusiasts to sharpen their skills, adapting strategies to the whims of nature. Some have found success by experimenting with different lures and baits, trying everything from topwater plugs for surface action to deep-diving crankbaits aimed at coaxing bass from the depths. The sheer resilience of the bass fishing community in these parts is admirable. The camaraderie among anglers fosters an environment where stories of the one that got away are shared over sunrise boat rides and sunset dockside chats. It's a shared passion that transcends the challenges posed by the weather. One tactic that has seen some success is targeting areas with natural cover. Fallen trees, submerged rocks, and aquatic vegetation offer hiding spots where bass are likely to lurk. Patience is key, and persistence often pays off for those willing to wait out the gusts for a lull in the weather. For those new to bass fishing, the trick is to remain flexible and patient. The conditions may not always be ideal, but each outing provides a unique opportunity to learn and refine techniques. Even seasoned anglers find themselves discovering new tricks when dealing with the unpredictable elements. While the winds have certainly played a significant role in the current fishing landscape, they haven't dampened the spirits of New York's fishing community. If anything, it's made the adventure more exciting—an unpredictable game where nature sets the rules and anglers must rise to the challenge. In summary, if you’re headed to upstate and western New York on the hunt for bass, bring a spirit of resilience and readiness to adapt. The bass might be playing hide and seek this October, but with a little skill and a lot of patience, you might just land yourself the catch of a lifetime.

Despite challenging conditions, bass fishing is currently offering an exhilarating outdoor adventure. At our favorite local lake, conditions have been evolving rapidly. With the water level down to a mere 18% full due to swiftly declining inflows, seasoned anglers know that this presents a unique and thrilling challenge.

The secret to success right now hinges on your choice of equipment and tactics. Bass are gathering off the points, proving that precision and finesse can turn a challenging environment into a fishing jackpot.

But if crankbaits aren't your thing, or you're simply up for experimenting, rubber baits are your next best bet. Their lifelike flexibility and varied color options make them perfect for enticing those finicky bass hiding among the rocks and submerged logs.

While this drought-driven scenario might complicate matters for some species, bass are particularly accessible, and skilled anglers recognize this as an opportunity to refine their craft. There's a unique joy in adapting to nature's shifting circumstances, reading the environment, and finding where the fish gather. Notably, such conditions also provide fun storytelling fodder. Imagine recounting your fishing expedition over a barbecue, sharing anecdotes of navigating through shallow, crystal-clear waters and mastering the art of sneaking up on unsuspecting bass at the water’s edge. This is when legends are born! And don’t forget, the sense of community among fellow fishing enthusiasts is an essential part of the experience. Sure, the solitude of casting your line into a peaceful lake is wonderful, but who doesn’t appreciate the camaraderie of exchanging tips and success stories with others who share your passion? So, whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner ready to dive into the world of bass fishing, now is the time to dust off your rod and reel, tie on a crankbait or rubber lure, and hit the water. This season's low inflows and vanishing surfaces are calling you to adapt and conquer.

This vibrant time of year is perfect for indulging in topwater bass fishing, offering anglers the exhilarating opportunity to engage with one of North America's most popular sport fish: the black bass. Topwater bass fishing is not just about the catch; it's about the chase, the splash, and the adrenaline rush when you reel in a beauty. This technique involves drawing bass to the surface, leading to heart-pounding strikes that make even the most seasoned anglers' hearts race. As autumn progresses, bass become more active, feeding aggressively in prep for the winter months, making fall an opportune time for topwater fishing. Among seasoned anglers, fall is synonymous with exciting challenges and topwater techniques that tap into the heightened activity of the bass. Lure choice becomes crucial during this season. Walking baits, poppers, and frogs often top the list for their ability to skim the water’s surface, creating tempting ripples that no bass can resist. Perfecting the art of selecting the right lure and mimicking the subtle motions of prey is vital to coaxing these fish into a voracious strike. Adding to the thrill, topwater bass fishing isn’t limited to one specific time of day. The entire day can offer productive fishing windows, each with unique conditions and challenges. Early morning and late afternoon are sometimes touted as prime, but anglers know that the overcast skies of fall can extend productive hours throughout the day. But securing a perfect catch demands technique, not just tools. Casting with pinpoint accuracy and employing a varied retrieve speed are essential skills. An erratic lure movement often depicts a wounded prey, which is irresistible to a lurking bass. BassResource.com, a treasure trove of bass fishing knowledge, offers a plethora of videos that can broaden any angler's understanding of these techniques, ensuring that knowledge and preparation are part of every fishing trip. Location scouting in the fall undergoes a transformation too. Bass seek warmer waters as temperatures drop, often moving towards shallower areas that retain warmth. Anglers should focus on the northern sections of lakes or reservoirs, where the sun’s rays persist longest throughout the day. Identifying the right spot is as critical as the timing of the fishing endeavor itself. What elevates topwater bass fishing in the fall from just another hobby to real adventure is its unpredictability. No two fishing days are alike—each comes with its own set of challenges and triumphs, shaping stories for anglers to share and savor long after the lines are packed away. Bass fishing during this time of year fuses skill, strategy, and serendipity. From lure selection to location scouting, every decision dictates the outcome.

But before you grab your tackle box, here’s this week’s lowdown on the bass situation, as told by JK Outdoors Guide. Proctor Lake, currently riding a wave of fullness above pool by 1.41 feet, seems quite the character. With its stained water shimmering under the sun at a warm 85 degrees, this lake is maintaining its mysterious charm. This delightful setting is not without its challenges, though. Despite the ideal fishing ambiance, the bass fishing is described as SLOW at best. But hey, that’s what makes bass fishing the loveable riddle it is, right? For those eager anglers, don’t let the creek-like pace deter your adventurous spirit. Bass fishing isn’t just about the catch; it’s about the chase, the serene surroundings, and the stories you gather along the way. Imagining you’re there, the anticipation while casting your line is half the thrill. The suspense as your lure dances in those stained waters—that’s how fishing tales that last a lifetime are born! Furthermore, every angler knows that a bit of unpredictability is just part of the bass-bonding deal. You never know—your greatest catch might be lurking just beneath that welcoming surface, in the depths stirred by the extra influx of water. Sometimes, the less promising forecasts alight the most exceptional catches; it's the contestant's secret rulebook. So, how can you amplify your odds out on Proctor Lake? Scouting for structure—like submerged trees, brush piles, and any underwater terrains—might just be your tactic of triumph. Additionally, adjusting your lure choice to match the water’s stained tone could easily become the trick in your tackle box. Darker, more visible lures could be your calling card to attract the bass amidst the muddled waters. In the world of bass fishing, patience is a virtue and persistence is your best bait. It's about those small victories—like mastering the perfect cast or watching the breathtaking sunrise over a glassy lake. Each outing, with all its ups and downs, gets packed tight with unforgettable moments, regardless of if you catch the big one or a selfie with the smallest of the bunch. So, to all the anglers out there, it’s time to head on over to Proctor Lake. Test your mettle against those elusive, slippery bass, breathe in that fresh, water-kissed air, and let the ripples of adventure sweep you away. Every great fishing day starts with a daring cast, after all—even when the lake is a tad slow. Happy fishing, and may your lines be ever taut with action!

If you're in the Rogers area, Reese Jones at Hook, Line and Sinker has some insider tips that could make your next fishing trip a splash. According to Reese, using plastic worms or jig and pigs can significantly up your bass fishing game. Whether you're an experienced angler or just someone longing for a perfect weekend getaway, Beaver Lake is calling your name. Nestled in the Ozark Mountains, this aquatic paradise offers more than just scenic beauty; it's a haven for bass fishermen looking to land their next big catch. The thrill and anticipation of feeling a bass tug on your line is an unmatched experience that keeps anglers coming back repetition after delightful repetition. One of the essential aspects of successful bass fishing is having the right lure. Plastic worms are a tried-and-true staple for fishermen targeting largemouth bass. Their lifelike movement through the water is irresistible to bass. Jig and pigs, on the other hand, are perfect for those who like a little bit of creativity in their technique. Pairing a jig with a soft plastic pig creates an ideal imitation of a crawfish, tempting enough to get those striper biting. Reese Jones assures that either of these lures, when used correctly, can lead to a bountiful catch. Fishing at Beaver Lake isn't just about technique; it's about timing as well. The current conditions at the north end are ideal, drawing in stripers that provide some of the most exhilarating sporting opportunities. These aggressive feeders are most active during cooler parts of the day, so early morning or late afternoon trips can increase your chances of a successful outing. For those who enjoy camaraderie, fishing is also about bonding. Picture this: you and your friends on a boat, sharing stories, casting lines, and experiencing the joy of nature first-hand. The north end of Beaver Lake offers more than enough space for fishermen to enjoy both quiet solitude and lively exchanges without stepping on each other's toes. If you’re planning a visit, don’t forget to check in with Reese Jones and his team at Hook, Line and Sinker. Their dedication to ensuring you have the right gear is just the beginning. They can provide insights and pointers that turn an ordinary fishing trip into an extraordinary adventure. Fishing isn't just a sport; it's an escape, a passion, and sometimes even a way of life. Whether you're catching fish or just catching up with yourself, there's no better time than now to hit the waters of Beaver Lake. Who knows, with a bit of patience and a lot of enthusiasm, you might just land the story of a lifetime—the one about the big striper that didn’t get away.

As a true outdoorsman, bass fishing to Dan was more than a hobby; it was an art form, a sport, and a way to connect with nature. From the break of dawn, you could find Dan with his fishing rod, ready to cast a line into the shimmering waters. His dedication to the sport was legendary among his friends and family, not just because of his skill but also because of the joy he exuded when talking about or engaging in bass fishing. His pursuit of bass wasn't just limited to weekends or holidays; it was a year-round passion. Whether it was the heat of summer or the chill of winter, Dan knew how to read the waters, the weather, and the fish. He could predict the best times to cast a line and which lures would be most effective. His tackle box was a treasure trove of secret weapons—baits and lures that he had fine-tuned over the years to increase his odds of landing the perfect catch. Dan would often share tales of his fishing expeditions, bringing to life the serene mornings spent on the lake, the excitement of a sudden bite, and the adrenaline rush of reeling in a big bass. For him, each trip was a new adventure filled with unexpected twists and lessons to be learned. But bass fishing wasn’t just a solitary pursuit for Dan; it was a social affair. He loved to organize fishing trips with his closest friends, who knew that any outing with Dan promised not just the possibility of a great catch but also heaps of laughter and the finest homemade barbeque meals to be enjoyed afterward. His infectious enthusiasm was such that even those new to fishing would find themselves hooked, often converting into avid anglers themselves. Beyond the thrill of the catch, bass fishing was a form of meditation for Dan. It allowed him moments of reflection and tranquility, far removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life. These peaceful interludes were when Dan found inspiration for his various other interests, whether strumming a new tune on his guitar or strategizing his next billiards game. Dan's legacy in the world of bass fishing is not just measured by the fish he caught but by the passion he instilled in others. His memory lives on in the stillness of a quiet lake at dawn, the gentle hum of a fishing reel, and the shared camaraderie among anglers who, like Dan, chase the joy of the catch.

His dedication to bass fishing extends far beyond the water's edge. Inducted into the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame in 2020, Maindelle boasts a 35-year career in professional fishing, catching colossal bass and garnering accolades along the way. However, the real catch of his life came when he decided to share his love for the sport with children who have special needs. Retiring from professional bass fishing to join the C.A.S.T. for Kids program, Maindelle transformed his passion into a mission. The C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation provides an opportunity for children with special needs to experience the joy and thrill of fishing. Bob contributes by helping these kids get a taste of what it feels like when a bass takes the bait. It's not just about the fish; it's the excitement and the sense of achievement that light up the faces of these young anglers. Maindelle's expertise is invaluable to the program. Kids benefit from his deep knowledge of bass fishing techniques, ensuring that their foray into fishing is both educational and exhilarating. He chooses the ideal fishing spots, knowing exactly where the bass might be lurking, and guides the kids on how to handle the fishing rod and tackle. He’s there to cheer them on, share tips, and celebrate every catch, no matter the size. The impact of Maindelle’s involvement goes beyond fishing techniques. It’s about building confidence and creating unforgettable memories. For many of these children, the opportunity to be out on a boat, feel the tug of a fish on the line, and reel it in themselves, provides a sense of normalcy and joy that is often hard to come by. But the benefits are not one-sided. For Maindelle, seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter of these young anglers is its own reward. It’s a reminder of what makes bass fishing so special—the community, the joy of being in nature, and the thrill of the catch.

Among the things he loved most was bass fishing, an activity that brought immense joy and peace into his life. Fishing for bass isn't just about catching a fish; it’s an experience filled with anticipation, strategy, and a real connection to nature. David was a master at it. He could often be found skillfully casting his line, the early morning mist rising off the tranquil waters around him. His love for bass fishing was more than a hobby; it was a ritual that brought him serenity and satisfaction. He'd always say, “The bass are smart; you have to outsmart them.” This mindset, the thrill of the chase, and the pride in a well-earned catch were what fueled his passion. Alongside the camaraderie and friendly competition with fellow anglers, these elements made every fishing trip special for David. David's devotion to bass fishing wasn’t merely personal. He was known to share his expertise with anyone willing to learn, transforming casual trips into lessons. With a twinkle in his eye, he’d advise on the best baits, the perfect spots, and the techniques that all but guaranteed a successful catch. To the untrained eye, his tackle box was just a mess of hooks and lures, but to enthusiasts, it was a treasure trove of secret weapons. Many of his peers from the Dorranceton United Methodist Church, which he considered his extended family, remember him fondly. His fishing trips weren’t just about fish; they forged connections and brought people together. When David hooked a bass, everyone on the trip rooted for him, and those moments turned into cherished memories and stories retold time and again. His love of bass fishing was paralleled only by his dedication to his stunning gardens and his passion for deer hunting. However, it was on the lake with a rod in his hand and a fish at the end of his line that David truly found his happy place. Even in his final days, David spoke of his favorite fishing trips, recounting each catch with the same excitement as if it had just happened. Those who knew him closely will always remember his animated tales of the “one that got away” and the inevitable smile that followed. As we remember David Rose, we think not only of his life's achievements and contributions to the community but also of the joy he found in bass fishing. It’s a poignant reminder of the simple, yet profound pleasures that can bring us peace. The waters of Forty Fort may seem a bit quieter now, but the ripples of Dave’s legacy in angling and community spirit will be felt for years to come.

As the seasons change, so do the habits of bass, making it crucial to adapt your strategy to keep reeling in those big catches. Here are five essential rules for catching more bass during the fall transition. **1. Follow the Bait** In the fall, baitfish like shad and minnows start to migrate, and bass instinctively follow them. To increase your chances of success, pay attention to where the baitfish are traveling. Typically, this means targeting shallower waters early in the day or late in the evening. Look for baitfish activity on the surface, such as ripples or jumping fish. Use lures that mimic the appearance and movement of the local baitfish to make your offerings irresistible. **2. Adjust to Changing Water Temperatures** As the water cools, bass move to different depths to stay comfortable. Early in the fall, bass are often found in mid-depths ranging from 10 to 20 feet. As the season progresses and temperatures drop, they tend to move towards deeper water. Using a fish finder can help locate the depth where bass are congregating. Jigs and crankbaits that dive to specific depths can be particularly effective during this time. **3. Experiment with Lure Presentation** In the fall, bass can be more selective about their prey. It's essential to vary your lure presentation to find what triggers a strike. Try a mix of fast-moving lures like spinnerbaits and slower presentations like Texas-rigged soft plastics. Sometimes, a subtle jigging motion is all it takes to entice a bass. Pay attention to the conditions and adjust accordingly - cloudy days may call for brighter colors, while clear days may require more natural hues. **4. Capitalize on Cover** Bass love structure and cover, especially as they prepare for the winter months. During the fall transition, focus on areas with abundant cover such as submerged trees, rocks, and vegetation. These spots often harbor both bass and baitfish. Docks and brush piles are also excellent places to target. Use jigs, worms, or creature baits to probe around these structures. Be patient and methodical in your approach to ensure you don't miss any hidden bass. **5. Stay Patient and Observant** Fall bass fishing requires a blend of patience and keen observation. Bass can be more finicky during this time, so it’s crucial to watch for subtle signs. Pay attention to water clarity, temperature changes, and wildlife activity. Sometimes, it helps to take a break and observe the water for a few minutes. Look for cues like birds diving for baitfish or bass breaching the surface. These signs can guide you to the most productive fishing spots. By following these five rules, you can optimize your bass fishing strategy in the fall and increase your haul of this prized catch. Whether you're a casual weekend angler or a dedicated tournament fisherman, adapting to the fall transition is key to outsmarting these savvy fish.

Whether you're a novice or seasoned angler, there's always something new to learn. Seth Feider, a well-known name in bass fishing, offers invaluable tips to enhance your game, especially regarding the nuances of grass fishing. Seth Feider's expertise shines through in his 12 Tips to Master Bass Fishing Grass. Grass such as coontail and hydrilla can be tricky to navigate, but Feider’s detailed advice can help you punch through it like a pro. Start by choosing the right tackle – heavier rods and braided lines are crucial for pulling bass out of thick vegetation. Adjust your weight depending on the density of the grass, and don't be afraid to experiment with different types of lures to see what gets the best reaction from the bass. Feider emphasizes the importance of understanding grass beds' structure and location. Look for irregularities within the vegetation, as these can often be hotspots for bass. Taking the time to study grass mats and using sonar technology can give you a significant edge. If one area isn't producing results, don't hesitate to move and explore new spots. Persistence and adaptability are key. Another vital aspect of Feider's strategy involves mastering the punching technique. This involves getting your bait through the grass canopy to where the bass are hiding below. He suggests practicing different pitching and flipping techniques to find what works best for you. Feathering your bait as it sinks can also entice tentative bass to strike. For those who truly love the sport, the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame is a must-visit destination. This hallowed hall celebrates the achievements of the sport’s greatest anglers and offers a wealth of knowledge and history. It's an inspirational site for anyone passionate about bass fishing. Utilizing these expert tips and diving deeper into the world of bass fishing can make your experience more successful and enjoyable. So grab your gear, hit the water, and may you reel in the big one!

With decades of experience under his belt, Kernen has witnessed the ebb and flow of fishing trends and come out with a clear favorite. "I would say bass fishing is clearly better," Kernen enthuses, his eyes lighting up at the very mention of it. Wisconsin's lakes and rivers provide a lush playground for anglers, offering ample opportunities to hook bass. These feisty fish are known for their spirited fight, making every catch an adrenaline-pumping adventure. Imagine standing on the edge of a sun-soaked pier, casting your line into crystalline waters, and feeling the exhilarating pull as a bass takes the bait. That’s Wisconsin for you. But Kernen doesn’t restrict his admiration solely to bass fishing. "The trout and salmon fishing in Lake Michigan is outstanding," he adds, highlighting another facet of Wisconsin's fishing allure. Lake Michigan, with its vast expanse and deep waters, offers a different but equally thrilling experience. Picture embarking on a fishing boat at dawn, the lake’s horizon stretching infinitely, promising a day of discovery and satisfaction. Trout and salmon in Lake Michigan present a challenge that is hard to beat, requiring skill and patience but rewarding generously. Beyond the promise of a great catch, fishing in Wisconsin is about the scenic beauty and tranquility of its natural landscapes. The state is dotted with picturesque lakes and rivers, each with its own charm and character. Whether you’re after the feisty bass or the majestic trout and salmon, Wisconsin offers a unique blend of sport and serenity that beckons anglers from far and wide. For Kernen, the manifold experiences that fishing in Wisconsin offers are tied together by a common thread — a deep connection with nature and a thrill that never fades. Even in his retirement, Kernen finds joy and purpose in casting his line, perhaps pondering the many anglers who share this passion and the countless memories that a single day by the water can create. So, whether you’re a seasoned angler or a curious beginner, Wisconsin’s fishing scene, with bass fishing at its heart, promises something extraordinary. Pack your gear and head to the water’s edge. In the words of Kernen, “I hope anglers get out there and experience it all.” He’s right; with waters like these, every cast is an invitation to adventure.

Wacky-rigged soft plastic worms and stick baits excel in enticing even the most finicky bass, making it a must-have technique in every angler's arsenal. Among the various wacky rig components available, the WOO! Tungsten Wacky Jig stands out as an innovative and effective option. The WOO! Tungsten Wacky Jig is designed to boost the performance of your wacky rig setup. A tungsten head ensures it sinks quickly and reaches the strike zone faster than traditional lead jigs. The increased density of tungsten also means the jig head is smaller than lead counterparts of the same weight, providing a more natural and subtle presentation that can be crucial when targeting wary bass. One of the undeniable strengths of the WOO! Tungsten Wacky Jig is its versatility. Whether you're fishing clear waters or dense cover, the jig enhances the action of your soft plastic bait, making it irresistible to bass. The rapid fall rate coupled with a tantalizing wiggle action can draw strikes from aggressive and sluggish fish alike. Durability is another key highlight. The WOO! Tungsten Wacky Jig features a robust weed guard that allows you to fish confidently in heavy cover without sacrificing your presentation. This weed guard improves snag resistance, letting you probe into previously inaccessible hideouts where big bass might be lurking. Additionally, the WOO! Tungsten Wacky Jig comes in a variety of weights and colors, allowing you to tailor your setup to differing water conditions and bass activity levels. Whether you need a subtle natural hue for clear water or a vibrant color that stands out in murky environments, the jig has you covered. In conclusion, the WOO! Tungsten Wacky Jig elevates the already effective wacky rig technique to new heights. Its compact design, rapid sink rate, and unmatched versatility, coupled with robust construction and color variety, make it an essential addition to your bass fishing gear. If you want to increase your chances of landing more fish and make the most of your time on the water, the WOO! Tungsten Wacky Jig should be part of your next fishing trip.

If so, we've gathered some top-notch tips and techniques from experts like Huff and Greg Hackney that will help you reel in those big catches. First up, let’s dive into Huff’s top four casting setups for offshore bass fishing. These setups are crucial for maximizing your reach and precision when targeting fish in deeper waters. 1. **Crankbait Rod and Reel**: This setup is perfect for covering lots of water quickly. Choose a crankbait rod paired with a reel that has a moderate gear ratio, ideal for maintaining the right speed to entice those hungry bass. 2. **Swimbait Rig**: Opt for a sturdy rod that can handle the weight of larger swimbaits. This setup allows you to mimic the movement of small fish, making it irresistible to predator bass lurking offshore. 3. **Drop Shot Setup**: Precision is key with the drop shot. A medium-light spinning rod paired with a reel that has a smooth drag system can make a huge difference. This technique lets you present your bait directly in front of the fish, tempting even the most cautious bass. 4. **Carolina Rig**: When the bass are hunkered down deep, the Carolina rig comes into play. Use a heavy rod and reel combo to drag your bait along the bottom, stirring up sediments and creating an enticing meal for your quarry. Now, let’s turn to some insights from the ever-knowledgeable Greg Hackney. August is a prime time for bass fishing, and Hackney’s approaches to this late-summer period can significantly boost your success rate. **Timing and Location**: Hackney emphasizes hitting the water during the cooler parts of the day, dawn and dusk, as bass tend to be more active. Targeting offshore structures like submerged humps and ledges is crucial, as these areas often hold larger fish. **Bait Selection**: During August, Hackney suggests using larger profile baits like big worms and jigs. These simulate sizable prey and can trigger more aggressive strikes from the late-summer bass. **Presentation**: Keep your bait presentation slow and steady. In the warmer months, bass can be lethargic, so a deliberate and methodical approach can yield better results. When it comes to the finer nuances of offshore bass fishing, BassResource delivers some invaluable tips and techniques. **Electronics Use**: Employ fish finders to locate schools of baitfish and structure. Understanding how to read these devices can drastically improve your fishing strategy, helping you pinpoint where the bass are hiding. **Line Selection**: The type of fishing line is often an overlooked element. For offshore fishing, braided line can offer the strength and sensitivity needed for those long casts and deep-water hooksets. Fluorocarbon leaders can also be beneficial, providing invisibility beneath the surface and enough abrasion resistance to withstand rough terrain. **Lure Adjustments**: Sometimes, making minor tweaks to your lures, like changing color or adding scent This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Guided by the expertise of Paul Tyre from Lake Seminole Fishing Adventures, you can expect a remarkable fishing experience. The bass population is thriving, providing ample opportunities for both seasoned anglers and those new to the sport. July’s fantastic conditions have extended into August, continuing to offer high-quality catches. According to Tyre, the warm weather patterns have created an ideal aquatic environment for bass, making them more active and easier to catch. One of the key aspects of successful bass fishing this season has been understanding their feeding patterns. Early mornings and late afternoons are peak times when bass are most active. Utilizing topwater baits during these periods can yield impressive results. Buzzbaits and frogs have been particularly effective, mimicking the natural prey of bass and enticing powerful strikes. For those willing to explore deeper waters, crankbaits and spinnerbaits have proven successful. Targeting structure such as submerged timber, grass beds, and drop-offs will increase your chances of landing that trophy bass. Tyre emphasizes the importance of being versatile and adapting your techniques to the conditions. Lake Seminole’s lush vegetation provides abundant cover for bass, creating plentiful hotspots. The diverse aquatic plant life not only enhances the fishing experience but also supports a healthy bass population. Whether you prefer to fish from the shore or on a boat, the lake’s landscape offers various strategic points to cast your line. For a unique experience, night fishing can be equally rewarding. Using dark-colored lures against the moonlit water can attract sizable bass. This method capitalizes on the cooler temperatures and the bass’s nocturnal feeding habits, providing a thrilling twist to your fishing adventure. In summary, Lake Seminole in August presents an unparalleled bass fishing opportunity. With favorable weather, active bass, and expert guidance from Paul Tyre, anglers can look forward to a fruitful and exhilarating fishing season. So gear up, head to the lake, and cast your lines for an unforgettable bass fishing experience! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
