What do you prefer to fish in a tournament in the small window of topwater?  I usually catch more fish off a chug bug, but not as big as the buzzbait fish.  In the small morning window of topwater, what do you throw in a tournament?  Do you try to get your kicker, or a few fish for the livewell?

If you are not fishing a buzzbait during the middle of the day you are missing some of the biggest fish available. Over half of my largest buzzbait fish have been caught in the 10:00-3:00 time of day. My largest buzzbait fish (10.51) was caught during a bright sun September 19 at 3:50p.m. Also caught an 8.19 the same afternoon at 2:35p.m. Both on the same BLACK buzzbait with a nickle blade.

Makes for a lot larger window, and yes, they were tournament fish.

Nope, I keep log books.

Well my next tournament is in Oct which is still warm enough for topwater in Oklahoma.  I guess I will just have to see how many, if any fish are in the livewell and go from there. 

Even in a shad dominated lake, has the black buzzbait outperformed a white one during the day?

I fish a buzzbait, if it's a team tournament, my partner is fishing some sort of popper. I like the buzzbait bcause you can throw it all day, under pretty much any circumstances.

It has for me.
