fished the monday evening derb out of chester frost, looked at a few places on the way down from soddy, no real groups of fish, just scattered here and there.   startedon the swimming pool hole but got no love, jumped over to a point that had some scattered fish on it but still no love. went to a ledge that also had some scattered fish but had a TON of bait around. first cast i caught a 4+ on a spoon. beat around for a while without any love, repostioned the boat and caught a couple of little ones on a spinnerbait. put the boat back where i started and caught another 4+ and lost one that felt pretty good shortly after. and that was it. ended up with 9.20 for 2 fish for 2nd place and big fish. 9.30 won! side note, found a 6-8 white perch in my livewell afterwards that was spit up by one of those fish, wouldve won the tournament for me................smh

fished the monday night derby(6-9pm), ran around a little before looking for fish, saw a few scattered on a couple of places. ran tot eh first and couldnt get a bite, ran 2 the second place and caught the 3 we weighed on moving baits, tried other stuff but couldnt get bit. kept moving, went up shallow getting close to dark and caught a couple of shorts. with 15mins to go i hooked one over 5lbs on a chatterbait and lost her at the boat......ugh! that would have given us the win and big fish. oh well. took 8+ to win and 3.94 was big fish(congrats Eric).

fished the BFL. started the day fishing some shellbeds but that didnt pay off. caught my biggest fish, a 9+ throwing across the mouth of a creek with a prototype lure from TrueSouth Custom Lures with a swimbait trailer around 830. didnt catch another fish for a couple of hours, it was down the lake in a shallow grass patch, it came on a red one knocker lipless bait. milled around inthat area for a couple of hours, finally catching 2 more on the same bait.ran into Dallas bay to finally scratch out my 5th fish on the same bait but in a shad pattern. spent the rest of the day running around trying to catch another giant but it didnt work out. did get the win with 24+lbs

fished the ABT100 tournament and pulled off the win with just over 20lbs and had big fish with a 7+. fished isolated cover and structure adjacent to deep water with "The Roller" spiinerbait from TrueSouth Custom Lures and a crankbait(Chick Magnet). this lake has a lot of standing timber but the key for us was finding stuff away from all of that, isolated targets produced the better fish. trophies and check from ABT 100 20+lbs from Wedowee
