Matt Gunter and a 6.19 big Joe Bass.
New director for 2022 season Jeff Bradford.
Hot steamy conditions greeted the anglers that gathered at Shawnee Bend for the culmination of the 2021 Tackle HD Joe Bass Truman Division. Scorching weather made for some uncomfortable fishing, but the salty anglers proved their mettle as several strong limits were brought to the scales. Every fish proved valuable as they represented qualifying points for the Tackle HD Joe Bass Invitational to be held at Bucksaw Resort and Marina this fall as well as determining the season’s points champions.
Taking top honors was the veteran team of Marty Watson and Doug Long. Their 20.58 stringer was anchored by the Ozark Chevrolet Big Bass, a lunker 6.53 pound largemouth. Doug and Marty shared their Tackle HD Key to Success was working spinnerbaits and flipping tubes to trees in 2-12’ with shad being present a must. They also took home the highest finishing Skeeter bonus as they fished from Doug’s 2020 FXR21.
3rd place finishers Todd Choate and Kent Whitaker weighed in 19.57 lbs. They chose to stick to a deeper pattern using Chompers jigs, finding only 5 keeper bites throughout the day. Anchoring their limit was the Ozark Chevrolet Big Bass award of 6.61 lbs.
