That's unbelievable. Just a third lb shy of another new record! What crappy money prizes after 2nd place. Maybe they should pay every 7 or 8 boats rather than 5. IMO. Congrats to Lamb and Porter.

Thanks Jmax! It's crazy how much better they were than everyone else!! Must have found that right post spawn school!

I did the pay outs for two years???? To be honest, for an entry of $120, I thought that pay out was pretty good. emoScratch It has been that way for years, looks like there was only around 75 boats. You at least get a little pay back on 11th place. emoBigsmile Keep in mind, there are a lot of ringers in the CBA ranks, you cut the number of pay outs and the ringers will most likely be the ones who will likely get paid. emoDoh All the time I fished the CBA my goal in those tournaments was just to win my money back. emoGeezer IMO, Jmax

At least some people found them. Every spot I wanted to fish had a boat on it(or boats) and I had to fish new, unproductive water all day

I was filling pretty good about my catch...heck, if I would caught 3 more 10lbers, I still wouldn’t have won! Lol! That’s an incredible 5 fish limit

I could be wrong, but it really looks to me that they found all pre spawn fish. It’d be hard to get that much weight out of post spawned fish this time of year. I may be wrong though???

That's what I was thinking. Looks like they caught all those off beds.

Good points well made. I just think that 3rd thru 5th need to come up. Maybe place less emphasis on the classic payouts. IMO.

Not surprised. Everything is late this year and still haven't found the big girls shallow yet. Between now and the end of the month will still turn out some big spawners. I wish these big bag winners would give up some vague info eg; Shallow on jigs, deep on crankbaits etc. Not even a clue, lol.

 

[churly]

They gave a detailed interview at the weigh in, if y’all showed up, you could hear for yourselves. Hayden said they caught a limit shallow early, then went off looking for deep schools, they finally found em and said it was a mega school. I personally believe that 90+% of our fish are done spawning with the biggest wave hitting last Friday-Sunday. That being said there is plenty of shallow fish to have fun with. We caught about 20 keepers Saturday and all were post spawn

 

[porthos33]

Yeah they posted the details and they gave great info. I found a huge shad spawn going on saturday morning. Fish were busting all over and no one was around. Problem was, they were a bunch of little fish. I left that and just ran around all day and it was hot!! I'm with Churly, I've been catching some nice fish spawning for a few weeks now and they are very inconsistent now. You mix a shad spawn with a few huge post spawners like one over 11 and you can put a huge bag together! It's pretty awesome! Those boys are a different breed. So are Kevin and Corey and a few others. You gotta love this game to be that good on a saturday when it's that hot!
