Not to criticize but fishing any tournament with a slot limit is not an accurate indication of how the anglers truly performed.
I fished an event on Fork one May and my partner & I caught over 100# of fish off one deep spot and took one bass to weigh in for 1 lb 4 oz.

Watched a little Saturday and Sunday, couple things that make one scratch their head. 1 tournament with no series and we have a Championship??? They throw professional fishermen in with whom? Are the redfish guys guides or professional redfish anglers?
It was cool, but also a bit wonky.

A lot of people supposedly enjoyed the redfishing. I prefer bass fishing though. I was/am just like you. I prefer bass fishing. But catching reds on bass tackle is a LOT of fun. Great fighting fish that's fun to catch on tackle you already have.

Those Reds can get just as picky like Bass and can get spooked easily.

The anglers even got to use a net to land the fish-Game Changer I watched the stream throughout the weekend and thought BASS did a great job.

It was cool, but also a bit wonky. They are national redfish series guys

Red the same size will out fight any species of bass. Smallmouth is bit better but still doesn't have the power of a similar sized red

I noticed that a chatter bait was being used by some. Will traditional chatter baits hold up to saltwater or is there a SS bait out there?
