“I was fishing within 2 to 3 miles of Wind Creek State Park. I was looking for little cuts fishing bluegill beds. I caught every fish on a wacky worm, Senko. I caught that big bass on Wacky Worm first this morning in about 5 feet of water. Pretty much while it was raining pretty well, I wasn’t paying much attention, and my line swam away. I set the hook, and it was that big bass. I’ll take that anytime. “DelVisco said.

Second place, Cliff Avery of Bonaire, GA, landed a 5-bass limit weighing 9.75 pounds. He earned $1200 for his catch.

“I caught my fish on top water and a 2.8 KeitechUSA swimbait. Just fishing points within a couple of miles of Wind Creek State Park. I had some that thumped it pretty hard, but little ones will thump it too.” Avery said.

Justin Barnes of Ellaville, GA, took the third spot. He landed a 5-bass limit of 9.01 pounds and earned $900 for the effort.

“I caught a good fish this morning on top and everything else on jerkbait. I probably caught 40 fish today, I had a three pounder that came off but you know it happens, part of the game. “Barnes said.

Bo Washam of Midland, GA, and Jonathan White of Bessemer, AL, finished in a tie for fourth place. They each landed a 5-bass limit weighing 8.37 pounds.
