trigger x goo bug - 2012? I think thats the year Wheeler won the cup


fishing user avatarjhoffman reply : 

Takahiro Omori - 2004 classic was the bagly but he was flipn creature baits and a jig up till the last fifteen mins


fishing user avatarjhoffman reply : 

Tharp won the cup in 2013 - Tharp started each of the last three days on the finger, one of the few areas lined with homes. He’d throw a bluegill-colored 3/8-ounce 4x4 Swim Jig with a Strike King Rage Craw Trailer (green pumpkin with 1/3 of the body trimmed) on the side that featured a mud bank. Once the sun got up around 9 a.m., he’d bounce across and fish the longer riprap stretch with a Lucky Craft 1.5 squarebill crankbait (TO color).

fishing user avatarTeal reply : 

I forgot all about that sack. That was huge.


fishing user avatarFishes in trees reply : 

Rick Clunn won a Classic one year on the Potomac using a POE's flat side, coffin bill crank.

 

The 5/16 Eakins Jig has accounted for many tournament wind & high finishes on the White River chain of Lakes  (Beaver - Table Rock - Bull Shoals)

 

The Reaction Innovations Beaver got named the Beaver because of back to back wins on Beaver Lake in consecutive years.

 

For a number of years 99 thru 2004 or so, the Lucky Craft Pointer dominated on early spring tournaments in the Ozark region.  BFL - Central States Pro-am - Heartland

 

My best tournament finish was achieved  in a June BFL tournament at Truman Lake using a bubba shaky head and a zoom trick worm

fishing user avatarbasscatcher8 reply : 

I remember when the chatterbait came out everybody went nuts for it. I remember the tacklemaking forums here had guys making their own left and right. I know a few still use them but dont hear about em as much as you did after that classic.


fishing user avatarjhoffman reply : 

Yes, lets keep it that way

Killer with a lake fork magic shad right after ice out.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

This thread should help us all add a few thing we had forgotten about!


fishing user avatarBigMoneyGrip reply : 

I think it was '09 and Skeet used the Lucky Craft Redemption.

Nope, Pace used a Squirrel and a Squad Minnow.  Christy and Cherry used the Rogue and Vision.

Initially, though, I think you're right.  There was some debate but he said he didn't ever get the right situation to throw the P10 Rogue.


fishing user avatarHooligan reply : 

00 Daves with Watermelon Zoom Tube

01 KVD SK Jig + Unnamed creature

02 Yelas won with a Power Jig and a Frenzy Crankbait

03 Ike with a Manns Shadow and a Manns Augertail

04 Omori Bagley and a TD Lipless

05 KVD with a Rogue

06 Clausen with a Chatterbait

07 Duckett with a RatlTrap and Chigger Craw

08 Jones with a Booyah Jig and Craw Papi

09 Skeet with a Redemption and  Crazy legs Chigger

10 KVD Red Eye Shad

11 KVD Squarebill SK 1.5

12 Lane Ugly Otter

13 Pace V+M Jig and trailer and Jackall Jerkbait

 

I think those are pretty accurate.

RC1 and RC3.

 

Clunn is the shallow crankbait master.

Interesting that no spinnerbaits (some swim Jigs) and especially no frogs.

Don't remember the year but Rojas with Kermit the frog, I know the frog helped him win his second on Toledo Bend.


fishing user avatarHooligan reply : 

Oh, there are tons of spinnerbait tournament wins in both the Elites and FLW as well as lower levels of competiton.  The Central Opens for the past couple years have been dominated by spinnerbait techniques for the top ten anglers, with a kicker or two coming from another technique.  The Northern Opens were the same last year and the year before.  The top five of the Angelina River tournament in Orange, TX were spinnerbait fishing backed up with a squarebill and swimbait. Faircloth won an open on a spinnerbait...

Frogs, generally, aren't very reliable money baits and very few people rely on them for tournament fishing.  About the only person that REALLY does is Rojas, but that guy is gifted in that capacity, and I don't think there's another person out there that really can compare to his expertise with Kermit.

Rojas won at Oneida in, I think, 2008 with a frog he called Kermit.  That's what really started the frog craze.  

Skeet won the Classic in 09, in part on a Lucky Craft Redemption spinnerbait.


fishing user avatars freud reply : 

Y'all know your stuff!


fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

Excuse me but Faircloth won with a Srike King Swimn Shad & a Ocho Stick Bait.

Sabine River was the location which is 35 min from my house.


fishing user avatarWRB reply : 

I belive Elias used a 12" Mann's Jelly worm for part of his record catch.

Tom


fishing user avatarJrob78 reply : 

Elias actually has 2 of the more memorable wins, the one on Falcon and the one on Guntersville that started the A-Rig phenomenon.  Both surpassed the 100lb mark too.

fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

Update: I had to watch both videos (awesome), 12" Mann's Jelly Worm Watermelon Red.

The reason I remembered the 12" worm was back in the day Mann's made a 8" and 12" Sting Ray worm.

When Paul said he used a 12" Jelly worm, couldn't recall a 12", so rummaged through a buckets of old Mann's worm and a package of black w/ red tail 12" Sting Rays that were long forgotten.

Maan's still makes the 12", ordered direct.

IVe got the manns 12" jelly worm in grape, it smells good enough to eat it
