I agree with Crestliner. It's hard to beat a 5" Kalins. Try the East side of Kentucky Lake. That is known to produce some of the better smallies there.

Drury (I think it's in Springfield) and SEMO each had a team in Arkansas for the ESPN tournament.

Hey guys. I just stumbled onto this site a few weeks back. Braden I talked to you and your partner in Arkansas about having a tournament on Kentucky Lake sometime this spring. Have you guys had any more discussion about getting several schools together (such as you guys, SIU, Murray, FHU, and possibly WIU, U of I and others) for a tournament? The site is great. I'm looking forward to contributing some Illinois fishing knowledge in the future (when there isn't 5" of snow on the ground). Ben
