We ran all over the lake to catch ours. High percentage spot fishing basically. We didn't catch a fish until 9 and culled a 16incher for a 7lber at 3. 8 bites total. No single area produced more than 1 keeper.

They were chomping Friday. We shook off about a dozen and never hit our good stuff. Only checked what I considered backup water. Never caught a fish were we shook them off Friday.

This tournament was the first time we had ever been there. We are shallow water fishermen more than anything growing up on lake Livingston. We went into this tournament determined to make the fish bite in shallow water....luckily for us they were there. We had 20.51 and my brother and his partner had 23.99. The fish seemed to be in all stages. Most of the fish we caught were spawned out but were guarding fry. There was some sight fishing involved and also some blind casting to areas in the shallow sticks ( we call them senea beans where we come from) with some kind of different structure in them. Usually a stump, lay down, rock, etc. The fishing was absolutely awesome on Friday and exceptional on Saturday. You guys have an amazing fishery that sets up just the way we like to fish. All in all I can't wait to get back.

great job guys!

we were the only boat in the top5 that had an early weigh time, sounds like there was a late bite to be had. our days sound similar, although we didn't run all over; we focused on 1 primary area, and upgraded in a couple of other spots that we marked on friday; we didn't fish any of them on friday, we were just looking for cover/structure/depth that matched our primary. We only had 7 bites all day, 1 was an under, so we culled 1. Well thats not true, i caught a drum early, so 8 bites. I would call it a super tough day of fishing, but a really good day at the same time. crazy lake.

I was worried somebody would get on a shad spawn bite and blow it out.

Not typically one of these regular guys that posts all over social media and wins practice all the time but I will say this. On Friday I went out for and hour and a half and shook off BIG bites every place I stopped. All big fish producing areas. My buddy Zach Parker was out as well (unarguably the best stick on RR by a long shot) shook off 20 big bites and I shook off almost 15. I barely slept that night thinking this was my tournament. Boy was I wrong.... caught may weight the first 25 min of the day and the fish couldn't have shut down more for me. Good job Adam and Chris.

Ouch. Fishing can be a cruel mistress.
