I share my experience of fishing my first tournament of the year on the legendary Lake Guntersville. Despite a strong start, I came in 2nd place, and I believe I lost the tournament in the first hour. Join me for a detailed tournament recap as I walk you through the strategies, techniques, and gear I used.

From the Neko Rig, Carolina Rig, and Texas Rig to the soft plastic jerkbait (Fluke), I cover the various setups that helped me catch fish. 🐟 You’ll also get an inside look at the types of lake structure and cover we targeted throughout the day.
