The FLW tour rolled into Clear Lake California over the weekend, and saw Michael Tuck take home the top prize.
Over the course of three days, Tuck managed to bag 76 pounds, 9 ounces of Clear Lake largemouth. Tuck also had the distinction of weighing in the event’s largest one day bag, at 27-12.
All in all, tuck brought the trophy home with big fish, and a simple strategy.
The Winning Bait
Primarily, Tuck used a swimbait called the Trashfish by Little Creeper Baits to bring home the title. He rigged the four and six inch versions of the bait onto Owner Twist Lock hooks with quarter ounce belly weights.
While the bite started to become slightly infrequent due to an approaching cold front, the approach paid off big in the end.
Runner Up
Joe Uribe Jr. of Lake Forest California managed to bag an impressive 71-10 of his own using a Spook bait in the morning, then switching off to a Zoom Horny Toad later in the afternoon.
All in all, it was a fantastic tournament and both anglers have a lot to be proud of.
