It's unbelievable Yeah, you know that's what I keep saying to it is unbelievable It just seems like every time I need a bite. I just seem to keep getting it It's not really something I can explain a lot of these tournaments I don't really feel like I'm on very much where I can you know really get bites at wheel It just keeps it just seems like every time I need a bite. I just keep getting one so hopefully tomorrow I'll need five bites, and I'll get all five of them, so I'm looking forward to come back out here My practice was absolutely terrible this week I was hoping I would never have to see Guntersville again in my entire life and now tomorrow I'm so happy I get to go back, so I'm glad y'all came. We'll see y'all tomorrow Hopefully you see it all the way through to Sunday, and we look forward to seeing you at the Bassmaster classic All right day three late Guntersville start here in about 20 minutes coming into this tournament I told hunter I'd be happy with 55th place and somehow we did a whole lot better than that So super excited about this one happy about this one because my practice was absolutely terrible So we just picked up a worm big shocker bass like to eat worms And we stayed in good areas, and we caught way more than I ever thought was going to catch So hopefully we train together one more day and squeak into the top ten, but I'm already happy with how it turned out So happy to be fishing the third day even happy to be in contention to win this lake has a ton of big fish in it Just got to go catch us ten more over the next two days, so excited to get out there and stumble upon some You're looking to double down in his first season back here on the Bassmaster Elite Series One of those dear days of professional bass fishing from Parkdale, Oklahoma Jason Christie He's a six-time Bassmaster qualifier and three-time Bassmaster winner from Winnebago, Kentucky Mark Menendez Had a huge event on our last Elite Series event Look at the title there The Little Ball of Hate, Wes Larson Yes, sir First one I've caught flipping all week That's a good one And there ain't nothing I love more than flipping in a dang tree and getting a bite on a daggum D-bomb Man, that freaking Garmin Krattsu hook won't Can't help but get it out There's a nice one baby I'm a fan of that right there, dude That's the earliest bite I've had Heck yes, give me a two pounder first thing Maybe a little bit better, but I'll take it. He looks long. He touches Biggin, biggin, biggin I watched him eat it Watched him come eat it, dude. Get over here. Yes, sir Yes, sir. Oh Dude, it's so clear in here. It's like an aquarium and then you can just watch them come out and eat that dang wacky worm I'm just throwing a wacky rig weightless worm Pitching it around Anywhere, I think a bass might be lingering. Come on guys Good one. Ah, he's coming through all the grass. Now he's got him balled up. 10 pound test 10 pounds of grass Only a few pounds of bass Seen him come out there and get that dang doe. That's awesome Get the grass out of there for y'all, clean y'all's house up a little bit Females in there too Hurt me. Oh, I needed that bad Now I can get that little little possibly not a keeper one out. The females look like a twice as big as him. I think it's Ain't got to worry about it no more See that's why you don't loosen your drag right there It's not perfect So we had about the same number of bites today Even had four bites, you know around three pounds and a couple bigger So we got about the same amount of bites today Just try to run a lot of new water and never really found You know any better quality fish whenever I ran new water and that's kind of how it was all week They were just certain little groups and these isolated grass patches I found and today we milked it for all it's worth and didn't get enough bites to make it to tomorrow But still had a good day and a good event I wasn't on nothing the whole time Truth came out today There you go Wow She looks a lot better than you because you know that I do know that That's the name of the game you're consistent when you're fishing I've learned a lot watching you. Thank you a lot about a frog What's your professional opinion Good sack of fish. Oh, we got Let me see your little I got to 16 Yeah, that was You ain't got two little ones. You got one little one. I mean, that's it Almost a two-pound fish and then you got three three Okay, that's what we need we need He's never been out of the top ten in angler of the year his second season here in the elite series from Alabama Kyle Welcher 33 pounds and 12 ounces for Kyle Welcher Going into today needs 13 8 to get inside the cut 5 all alive 12 pounds 12 ounces moves him into 13th place gives him 46 pounds and 8 ounces and sitting in 13th place and Teddy's his spot inside the top 10 in our angler of the year race And as I said never been out of that so having another great season two events ahead of you Man settling into things nicely here in the elite series Kyle Yeah The problem is the next two events are gonna be the trouble ones for me because we got to catch some brown fish at some Point as long as we stay in Alabama, I think I'll be okay, but heading up there fishing for small now That's gonna get a little tough. But yeah, you know, this is where I've always wanted to be. We're on the elite So I'm really happy that it's going pretty well for me. You know, I don't I don't know It's not something that I can really explain it Just I seem to just get bites whenever I need buys like today I bet I had four keepers almost all day then I pulled to a pocket at our fish four times and all of a sudden There's new fish sitting there and I catch me a limit. So I'm really happy to be here though And like you said, I'm glad I'm selling in Awesome to watch and we look forward to seeing your season complete. All right, so based on my practice I'm extremely happy with the way this finish ended up. I think we're gonna end up around 15th place They're still weighing in but that's my guess maybe Somewhere inside the top 20 but had multiple big bites every single day of the tournament that was a surprise to me because in practice I really didn't I just Picked up a wacky rig and started flipping it around and everywhere that I thought a bass might be spawning or postponing or still Suspended there from the shad spawn. So that's what we did. It worked out pretty good Pretty excited about this one because worth practicing a while
