Won a tournament out of Big Spirit today with just under 20lbs all green ones. Started the day looking for a big school of small mouth and found a couple but they wouldn't eat. Moved to what we know and put our heads down and flipped docks all day. Found 1 stretch of docks where we caught 6 over 3 and a half and 2 over 4 and a half. All on a blk/blue pitboss and 1/2oz WOO! Tungsten. They weren't super deep in the docks so we were catching them flipping the shade on the outside and inside.

Tried for the smallmouth early but wind didn’t cooperate, decided to switch it up and do something not many people were doing and target largemouth and caught them good under docks on a Texas rig and in calmer areas a wacky rig to clean it up after the Trig. Had 19.75lbs for biggest 5 and had 8 over 3.5lbs

Got some bites ripping a jerk-bait around the edge of some grass using a jr 110+1 jr. A great jerk-bait to throw around. Also when the wind started to blow I was able to get some bites on a dropshot out on some bigger boulders. They were very smart and had to make a lot of casts to get them to bite.

Found bass in the reeds. I was flipping the outside edge and caught a few 3#ers. Started flipping deeper in the reeds and noticed a few beds with bass on them. I never got them to go. I also got a bonus first ever musky flipping the reeds.
