Know those spots very well... and they're 10 times better now than they were then, as is the Largemouth fishing. Mix in a few bonus steelhead and browns, and it's absolutely one of the finest fisheries on the planet. I've got dozens of Smallies over 6 pounds and a handful of Largies over 6 and a 7.2 for my biggest - north of Dixie Line ~
I was there. I seen Rick Clunn doink a 3-4lber off the boat in lake calumet on that rip rap he fished the whole tournament. He might have won with that fish.
It was great to shed light back then. They need to really make an effort to return. Chicago is more Fishy then ever before. A record can be broken in the tournament how exciting would that be !!??
I had a booth at the show, attended the final weigh in. Woo was pure class on stage.

About a week after the tournament i caught a 7lb largemouth on the point Risk was fishing in Lake Calumet.
I remember going to the weigh in.
Jason Lee that’s really cool

28:36 That Pro Craft boat has a narrow beam compared to the rest of the boats! I can’t believe they used Pro Craft boats in pro tournaments!
Awesome please load more older bassmasters if you got them
William Crockett I will try to but I live here in Chicago and fish those waters all the time so this is interesting to see
I fished that one. If I threw swimbaits or drop shots back then, I would of beat ole Woo!
I bet that was a awesome experience. Do you still fish Art?
