On Saturday March 13th 2010, 239 anglers from all over Texas and Southern US battled it out on Lake Fork Texas to take home a Top Prize of $20,000.
Out of the 239 teams there were only 67 limits and less than 3 lbs separated 1st from 32nd place and a little under 2.5 lbs separated Tommy and Tony Climer from the top spot.
They weighed in a 10.06 lb limit to take home $700 and a tie for 19th place.
Tony was sick Sunday, but thanks Tommy for coming out anyways.
On March 14th, the day after Bass Champs Tommy Climer took me back out to Fork to show all us TFF'ers where and what they did to catch that 10 + lb sack....
Tommy did such a Great Job recreating the tournament's and walking us through obstacles that every angler and team faces in Bass Champs and what the level of competition is like out there.
We pull up the ramp after a GREAT BREAKFAST at Moser's Restaurant to this site.......
Tommy gets a few baits ready that he used on Saturday and enjoys the sound of boats' leaving the ramp and the cool crisp air that sets up to make a excellent day for filming.
Tommy talks about what we will do today...
We get to the first spot...
Tommy isn't fishing 10 minutes and this happens...
Fishing around Crowds
We get a few minutes of service and take a question from the TFF, and talks about snapping a bait out of the grass...
SEXY TOMMY..Just for you TFF'ers... Sorry Tommy all is fair.
Talking about spawning-Pressure-and muddy/deep water.
I guess they will let anyone fish Fork..what's funny is I keep waving at Ken off and on, and not to look bad he would always wave back....LOL
Can't wait to do more of these for the TFF and as we go along, we will get more and more indepth.... Next Month Ray Roberts..
I'm not getting the video. I get no picture beginning with "Tommy talks about what we will do today". I just get a blank box with an icon in the upper left of the box. Any computer gurus out there?
At about 11 am. on Sunday I guarantee there was atleast 60 boats....I seen 4 people catch a fish in 5 hours. We left and got our limit. I believe Glade has been hammered too hard for the last 3 weeks. I anticipate the traffic will not get any better for the next month or 2.

You are right lots of boats Sunday morning. Take a look at the Bass Forum my husband (brokejeep) caught a 12.4 lbs beauty Sunday morning in that area.
Yes, Glade has been hammered but there havn't been a ton of fish come out of there for the number of boats that fished it. Casey, great job again. If you would have let me know I would have taken you where we won the thing... Still great to see another anglers point of view.

I am just saying for the number of boats that fish it there havn't been a lot of fish. I know what you mean about bait and presentation. We saw a ton of boats come and go in bass champs and we were killing them. I can't tell you how many white chartruse spinnerbaits, jigs and red traps I saw and they caught few if any fish.

Glade is pounded, muddy, and no fish. I wouldn't go in Glade there are so many better places on that lake to catch fish. Besides you may get hit in the head by a spinner bait in there or a trap, especially if you catch a fish, out of town jokes aint scared to move rigt in on you.
