I have never seen a fish this big on Smith Lake which is an ultra clear lake that is super deep as well. We went out to do some winter fishing with the son of a Bassmaster Elite Pro. Lake Weidler is an aspiring high school tournament angler and love to fish shallow for bass in winter. So we swapped techniques, I showed him how I like to target deeper bass with swimbaits and shakey head soft plastic worms – using my Lowrance and C-Map to target points and offshore structure. Lake showed me how to fish small creek pockets and look for wood to fish crankbaits in as well as fish jigs through. And then….we got on a little fishing pattern I figured out that only lasts about an hour or so after sun up and before sun down where fish surface eating shad on the top of the lake. But they are single fish, not schools of fish, and they are giants. You’ll just have to watch to find out what happens.
Follow Lake as he tournament fishes and makes his way to the tour @lake_weidler
