The Southeast Region held its 4th event on Lake Conroe. Weather patterns were hinting to a slugfest and it held true. Had some nasty weather the day before which had some anglers nervous but tournament day turned out to be gorgeous and also a new moon the night before.
Collin Bode with the Bass Club took honors of 1st place and 1st place Big Bass with 31.59lbs and a 8.47 kicker, followed by Tim Jahn with the Bass Club with 24.84lbs and a 7.94 kicker. 3rd place went to Ronnie Wagner with the Bass Club with 24.43lbs with a 5.29 kicker. 2nd Big Bass went to Jason Slot with the Houston Bass Bandits with a 8.28 toad.
Collin had his initial limit in the first hour of fishing for around 25 pounds with two swimmers. Collin was targeting flats with channel swings and creeks close by. Throwing purple pearl/ yellow wooly dawg tx rigged. Around 10:00 he caught one around 6 pounds and at this point he had no idea which fish to cull because he had no scale. Luckily Kenny Curlee was in the area and he was kind enough to let him borrow his scale so Collin could make an accurate cull, so Collin wanted to thank him for that. He also do wanted to point out that some other fishermen were in the area, and we were all able to fish around each other, get along, and have a good time. Everyone was respectful to one another. Those guys are truly a class act.
Wanted to throw a shout out to our sponsors Swagger Tungsten and Jordan Marine. Also a big thank you to April Plaza Marine for the welcome and awesome hospitality!
Next up April 23 Sabine River!
