Good to see it taking a decent weight (17lbs) again at a derby as it's been pretty stingy this year. Anyone here word of how it was won?

finished 13th in it,.  won on football jigs 90 percent including myself caught them on footballs. had my 2nd largest brownie on bull at 4.39, lost a 3 and a half lb black on third cast that ended up costing us 3rd place, just couldnt get rid of 2 little kentuckys this ones gonna hurt for a while.

That's a heck of a smallmouth!  Congrats regardless you gotta be happy with that. I figured jigs would be big given my last few outings.

very nice smallie!

just curious, how you are fishing the football for those brown fish? are they hitting it on bottom?

getting about half  of my bites on the fall, the rest ripping it off the bottom pretty good, the fish are scattered some on bluffs, some on long points, the big girl came on a windy bluff to pea transition in about 10 to 15ft. we  caught them from 2ft to 35ft saturday with most being less than 20ft, my partner used a 5/8 oz sat and i killed him with the 3/4 probly around 6 to 1, but thurs he got me prob 2 to 1 on it .  and i am very grateful for that fish i dont catch very many 4plus brownies when i do happen on one feels like i won the lottery.
