That's fine. I have never fished Grand and only know from word of mouth and what I see on TV. So I'll take your word for it. But, during the 2013 Bassmaster Classic I know that the pattern was wiggle warts, jerkbaits and jigs.....sounds like the Table Rock Blue Plate Special. Only about 11 weeks til the 2016 Classic and hope it is as entertaining as that year at Grand. I believe that was the year of Ike cussed out a dog and Hank Cherry laid on the deck of his boat for 10 minutes after having a biggun' pull off.

It's more like LOZ than Table Rock, even without the docks. Lot of color, and does not have the depth. Planning to attend the Classic, so I hope it is a good one.

That mag wart is a funny bait. We used to smoke good smallmouth with it up north cranking rock piles. Would have been late 80's. Used to throw it on the old magnathin in 6#-8# to get it down. Have had trouble getting them to eat it here. Profile is all I can think of as a cause. It may have done a better job imitating a gill than a craw. Friend of mine used to fish with a Grand lake club out of Joplin. He tells me the big wart was all they threw for a crank at TR derbies. Think he said a lot of them threw the all white bait.

It should probably be noted that Ike returned to the scene of the canine crime and apologized to the target of his F-bomb the next day. Cherry may still be laying on the deck of that boat.

Cherry really hasn't done much since that incident happened. Hasn't been placing well on the Elite circuit.
