re: B.A.S.S. at Toledo Bend. 100+lbs for 20 bass and no DD in the entire tournament.

Fin and Feather.

I don't mind it when they show the side by side screen but without it, I agree it sucks.

I think it has to do with the camera showing the cast and the anticipation of a big strike vs a fairy wand dropping a 3" minnow on their head.

I am a power fisherman mostly so I may be a little bias. I do know that I will be trying that technique with my Active Target next trip I make in some deeper water.

Not at all. I have played around with it but never just devoted a whole day doing it. I will be doing it soon though. Might as well join the crowd if it is more efficient and is productive.

I have a camp in Pigeon so that is my home area too.

Pat Schlapper maintains his lead after Day 3 of the Gamakatsu Bassmaster Elite at Toledo Bend with 78 pounds.

Will it become a century belt?

2 6lbs in a row then a 5 to replace the 4… impressive

ETA: lands a 6.5lbs

This is part of my reason for not getting it. I have nothing against it. I hear a lot of people against it saying it’s going to hurt population. I’m pretty sure weekend anglers are not as good as these guys. For me, most of my enjoyment of fishing is trolling and making bunch of cast and just fishing.

I’ve got it but mainly have used it in targeting marked brush piles and occasionally for ledge fishing when they’re schooled up to just get a line on them. Definitely have never used it for chasing suspended fish in open water with ultralight tackle like these guys are doing. Different ballgame, baits and equipment that’s definitely counter to how I’ve fished for them since…forever lol.
