This weekend, I fished my second tournament of the year, PA BASS Nation Kayak Series’ Smallmouth Slam 3 at Presque Isle Bay and Lake Erie. I ground it out in windy ...more and choppy conditions. The boat is still rocking! I caught 45 bass over two days, but not enough bigs as the larger smallmouth seem to have mostly left the Bay. I put up a respectable 83.25” on Day One, but was only able to eke out 78.25” on Day Two. I finished in 5th place with a two-day total of 161.50”, which means that I qualified for the state championship in October. The biggest bass of the weekend was this 17”, 3 lb. 5 oz smallie.
