    Won back to back to back tournaments in our local BASS Nation club! Got the win last night fishing from 6:30 PM - 1:30 AM. The amazing part was having 10 keepers ...more by 7:45 PM! What an evening! Had 5 fish for 12.25lbs. That’s 4 wins on 3 lakes in 5 weeks. What a ride!

    3 lb. 6 oz. 19 in. Largemouth Bass
