The final countdown is here. 🎣🔥

We are headed to Rush Lake in Ottertail County, Minnesota, for our final pre-fish before the EDAK Bass Club Tournament of Champions — a two-day championship tournament featuring the top 10 finishing boats from the season.

And this pre-fish was DIFFERENT.

We’re usually heavily reliant on our electronics and fishing offshore, but this time we went back to old-school bass fishing. We spent a ton of time shallow, worked through weeds, threw topwater, and started putting some BIG largemouth bass in the boat.

In practice alone, we put together a 19-pound bag, and honestly, we probably could have had even more.

This video is a little different from our normal tournament videos. It’s fast-paced, built around the hype of the final countdown, and focuses on the action rather than a lot of talking to the camera. There are fish blowing up on topwater, big bites, shallow-water fishing, and a pattern that we think could potentially work for both days of the championship.

Now it’s time to find out if what we discovered during pre-fishing can translate into tournament success.

The Tournament of Champions is next.

Can we put it all together when it counts?

Never miss the action! 🎥
