      I'm from KY, but would always go down there in December to mainly crappie fish Lake Woodruff and Lake Dexter. Would also do some bass fishing along the river up into Lake George. Some absolute dandy bass there. My 2 best largemouth of 7.5lbs and 8.2lbs came from the EXACT same spot just south of Lake George on the river about 18 hours apart.

  • @guitarhiker4449
    @guitarhiker4449 4 роки тому +1

    Wow simply awesome! Everyone was on their game in this tourney! Young vs the old! Its soo cool Rick clunn at 72 years old getting her done with his trusty trickster spinner! 3/4 oz spinner is big, he was just going for whoppers only at the end!! Thats how you come back from a 10lb deficit!! True legend rick clunn deserves it! Chris johnston did amazing too though soo close and so did mark menendez! Slobs!! Fish on!!

  • @riverdragon2012

    So nice to see Bob. Always enjoyed him and of course Ray . To see a Canadian makes me chuckle you so rarely see them in these. I am winner of hundreds of giant big bass to Musky , walleye sauger and over dozen species of fish. Won my first contest in the later 60s same time as bassmasters started, so these guys way behind the scene. These young guys not even close to the wins of many in the Canadian market, however congrats to them all though late in the game showed they can fish Great stuff! If they think their smallmouth experts well there is many out there with a higher resume than them in wins. Great though to see a Canadian be able to handle themselves with some of these legends. Anytime those tow want to take on the Dragon come down to Ottawa show them how to fish Lol

  • @riverdragon2012
    @riverdragon2012 4 роки тому +2

    I love Mr Clunn , I have been retired for some time from this sport, But he shows that us older guys can still get it done son. This is where knowledge and experience outdoes the young guns. I wish Roland and Jimmy whom like me is a known spinnerbait total fanatic Lol. Along with Billy and Bobby and Ricky green Bow Dowden was still in this.
    Unlike the rest of the Canadians so far if I came out of retirement I am also like one of my hero's in Angling Mr Clunn plan on getting it done son. I want to fish against the best there ever was and would not fail like the rest from my neck of the woods. If I can come out of retirement I hope Rick at least is still hopping due to I want to fish against at least one of these legends. I would love to meet this amazing man.
    Congrats keep going you need just a few more to hit my early mentor Roland. If anyone ever could it would be you. Vandam and the rest all came way later but very skilled and would be fun challenge as well. Even if any of you do I doubt anyone will ever beat his three in a row. Or nine time BASS angler of the year. I fished as long as any of these guys but I won mostly small events not these big ones. Never the less read my books soon to be out. I did some amazing things from bringing in a over 37 lb limit in a Quebec tournament with 6 bass in the 80s far surpassing team weights ever achieved in Canada. And winner of over Dozen species of big fish to limit and team tournaments. Especially if your spinnerbait freaks I am one of the earliest practitioners out there and been making my own and tinkering with them since the later sixties with old Shannon twin spins to later bushwackers. If you want to learn how to catch huge fish you may enjoy my up coming books over 5 decades of experience hundreds of days a year and hundreds of tournament big fish wins. Especially spinnerbaits I have designed hundreds of variance and you will see many tricks never listed by other bass anglers or known.

    • @dakotachristian5664
      @dakotachristian5664 4 роки тому +2

      You brought 37 pounds to the scale in the 80s but the Canadian record for a tournament is 31.80 from 2017. Also if the books are real what are they titled? I would also like to know how you can compare yourself to 3 of the greatest professional bass fisherman in the United States just from fishing little club tournaments.
