Piedmont Lake was one of the stops on the BKFT trail this year and I was super excited to try my hand at some reservoir smallmouth. A tough summer to fall transition had the fish in a funk but I managed a couple nice fish and a fellow competitor hooked into a giant musky!! Definitely had a good time!

....FALL SERIES 
...TOURNAMENT #1!!!!!!
You sure don't take time to fight the fish – just jerk 'em out of the water.
In 2002 was fishing there and had 4 nice saugeye on a chain stringer below my boat. Every once in a while the stringer would shake and tug. Finally caught another keeper saugeye and went to put on stringer an 2 of my fish were missing… around noon I tried to pull up my stringer and found a musky at least 40 inches long had eaten another fish off my stringer and seemed like he had swallowed the end of my stringer. Almost had him into the boat and it shook out the last of my fish it tried to eat and was gone…. was alone on the boat so no one seen it and no camera.. lake is great for memories..
Man awesome day again! Been nice to see the musky lol.
look up blood knot and put a dash of super glue on ur knot.
What kind of net is that ive been looking to get a new one for my kayak and that one looks like the perfect size
great video! you should give piedmont another shot, along with the bass and muskies its also home to some of the states biggest saugeye and flatheads!
New sub ! Liked
You gave it a shot and fished hard brother. You also learned a bit and caught your first reservoir smallmouth. The musky fight was cool, love those accidental toothy critter catches. Keep after it B. Blessings brother
I love Piedmont lots of great memories their fishing with family. Im from Steubenville originally whenever I head back there I always stop and fish from the bank and always catch something. Didn't realize the smallies were in their. I need to take my yak! Nice Fish man great assortment
I'm still struggling with the braid to leader knot as well. So much so that I go straight braid most of the time. Piedmont looks like a great lake. Enjoyed the video!
Lmao we used the same title idea and I didn’t even see yours
I enjoyed the video, tuff day for you but you did catch 4 specie's of fish! Good luck with the next event.
Great video crawler congrats not a bad day I would of sat on that riprap all day!!!
Best record lake in Ohio
Peidmont is my hometown lake and I go to school at hocking, crazy to see you fishing there
Low light conditions, unless the water is really clear, I think using flouro is thinking too much, you didn't lose that fish on straight braid brother! Good job on the top 20, I just fished Hoover and it was impossible to get a pattern. Transition is tough.
Nice job I’m in Florida tearing lg mouth up!
Now you are in my neck of the woods – 20 minutes from my house!!!! I was there that day and only managed three smallies. It gets TONS of fishing pressure. You need to give Clendening Lake a try – it's just another 10 minutes up rt. 800 – Monster bass and lots of them. It's a real hidden gem especially in early spring and late fall.
Made for a fun day after catching all them rock bass lol. Dayton rivers is our last chance at redemption and I KNOW you are looking forward to that one!
I've been to that lake just once, and that was in January. I didn't even get out of the car. The State record musky was caught in that lake years ago.
Nice to see you are human, but I'm sorry bud. I do 11 wraps with 20lb braid to -8lb floro with 6 wraps, and 9 20lb braid wraps to 5 12lb floro wraps. Seagaur floro and powerpro braid.
I don't break off these days I used to break every time.
Congratulations 15th place
good job 
thank you for sharing
There's some monster flatheads in there too. Always a surprise on bass tackle!
That's a great lake to fish also has walleye and saugeye
And now we are going to watch the video
