ryanerb Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Seems some guys are getting on em at Lake Chickamauga. Shin was using an interesting swimbait, kind of looks like a fluke, but a little better. See attached picture. Anyone know what it is? He said this technique sometimes takes 5 minutes per cast, using it for suspended bass. See the bait on the deck. 1 Quote
InfantryMP Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 I am not sure what it is, but he sure is tearing them up today! It will be an exciting last couple of days of this tournament for sure. Quote
BassNJake Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Thats not a yamamoto bait, I know of. He was shaking the bait while slowly winding it at a specific depth. Tiny bait caught a couple of 6's and a 7. that was a masterclass out there Quote

FYI , I am REALLY digging the new feature they have where you can see all the catch data, including lure, depth, area, etc. Of course it doesn't give the exact bait name, but rather the bait type. Still pretty cool!! 1 Quote
FishinBuck07 Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 They are all whipping on the bass down there, just some more than others! I was down there a couple weeks ago and they were in transition and were hard to figure out. I am guessing I should have waited a little longer to go! Haha. Our guide said he thought the fish were behind because of the goofy weather earlier in the year! 2 Quote
Super User Tennessee Boy Posted June 8, 2021 Super User Posted June 8, 2021 What a tournament. Very fun to watch. Tomorrow should be very interesting. Quote
Super User Tennessee Boy Posted June 8, 2021 Super User Posted June 8, 2021 Tomorrow should be a classic Tennessee River ledge fishing tournament. I’m a fan of Jason Lambert. He’s kind of been a one trick pony and this type of fishing is his one trick. If he doesn’t do well tomorrow, I doubt if he’ll be back on the tour next year. You have to think Wheeler is the favorite. It’s his adopted home lake. Kevin VanDam has always been strong on Tennessee River ledges and he’s arguably the GOAT. Jordan Lee is a freak. He can catch fish anywhere. They’re supposed to being pulling a lot of current tomorrow. It might take 100 lbs to win. 1 Quote
ryanerb Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 KVD is on it. Wheeler is second. But I'm rooting for KVD since Wheeler has won too many times lol 2 Quote

BassNJake Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Yeah, this was a back and forth battle all day. KVD stopped playing His poor official should have just kept standing, he looked like a weeble wooble bouncing back up as soon as he sat down 3 Quote
InfantryMP Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 KVD is crushing it. This is the ole school KVD that we are seeing. He has be to excited as hell right now...about to get his first win! 2 Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted June 9, 2021 Super User Posted June 9, 2021 After what he did yesterday on that one school, I knew that if he found one or two schools today he was going to blow the others out of the water. Go KVD! Quote

Turned it on a couple minutes before the end of the second period when everybody was all bunched up with 30-odd pound totals. Did a little more work, then I looked back up and dude doubled the field. 1 Quote

Hawkeye21 Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Shin talked about the technique he was using this morning. They also talked about it on BTL yesterday. Sounds like it was a neko rig being fished at a certain depth for suspending bass. Quote
ryanerb Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 Lambert is rising, but he's snagged two big ones in the side. Not even the side of the mouth, but the side of the body. Reading the rules, I guess those count because he wasn't 'visually' fishing for them. I'm not sure how I feel about this... Quote

Super User Tennessee Boy Posted June 9, 2021 Super User Posted June 9, 2021 They need to check Wheeler's last fish on the instant replay. Man that was close. It was a great tournament. 1 Quote

He rushed it in and got it in the boat with maybe 2 seconds to spare. He got a fish landing violation but it didn't matter. Quote

Lambert may want them to verify that haha 1 Quote
