27 teams met at the Mill Creek ramp to mark the midway point of the 2026 Joe Bass Team Trail Table Rock Summer division sponsored by Blackbeard Marine. With the onset of the summer season, anglers were tasked with relocating bass that have pretty much completed their annual spawning ritual while navigating rough water stirred up by a myriad of big boats, wave runners and wakeboats. Teams didn’t disappoint, as 24 limits were brought to the scales with an average weight per team north of 11.5 pounds, making for quite a challenge to get one’s name atop the Window World leaderboard.
Colin Wolinksi topped the field with a staggering 19.11-pound limit. Colin’s bag included the Wilson Logistics big bass that weighed 6.11 pounds. Colin shared his Blackbeard Marine key for success was mixing a worm with a jig to draw strikes. Not wanting to leave any money on the table, Colin also took Top Skeeter honors as he put his fish in the live wells of his 2023 ZXR21 Skeeter.
Table Rock sticks Kavan Maybee and Josh Wray needed a big fish to push them over the top, but their 17.31 limit still got them a second-place finish. Their biggest bass weighed 3.89 pounds, indicating the remainder of their sack was all quality fish. Kavan and Josh paired a Triple P topwater bite to reach their final weight.
Clay and Jay Henderson brought a five fish limit to the scales that locked in at 16.48 pounds. They took advantage of the second-place big bass of 4.89 pounds to bolster their weight. Clay and Jay worked spoons and jigs in 20’-30’ of water to catch their fish. Team Henderson is proud to represent Rite Hite and Crock-O-Gator jigs.
