Best Smallmouth Practice | Bassmaster Elite Series | St. Lawrence River | Make or Break Event 3:3

You can smoke the Chatterbait dude. Let's weigh him. So this lake is famous. Pretty much for putting out 20 pound bags. I'm going to tell you right now. I would take 5 of these suckers a day. And be ecstatic. Chill, chill, chill, chill. 370. So that's like a 311. That's a good one. Nice one. Let's see what he weighs. My guess is going to be like a 280. 275. That's a 212. God dog. I don't think he's but about 3 pounds. But this sucker is digging man. Right up there on the edge of this little cluster of big boulders I found. Just drifting down through there. I was actually barely dragging it. As soon as I got to the very far edge of it. As soon as I touched the rock pretty much. Let me grab him. He's not even 3 pounds. This right here is a giant. It's just been a minute. Probably been like 3 or 4 minutes. He ain't that big but I thought he was. Dig him up there in that freaking crystal clear water. I can see him. I thought we had us a dang big one. 337. Dang nice one. I'll eat that sucker tomorrow. I think there's a lot here. Yes dude. I think we found a little bit of something. So day 4 practice obviously was the best day that I've had as far as weight goes. So I decided to go put in at what's it called? Showmont Bay. Whatever it's called like that. Started off fishing the Whopper Plopper and Chatterbait and stuff like that on some shallow flats. And got a lot of really nice bites. Really really quickly. So we had certain conditions where the wind was blowing into the flats. Really kind of turns that water up a little bit. Breaks it up so they would eat more of the reaction bait type of stuff. So after that I went way back in that little backwater river part that had current and ended up catching one almost 3 pounds. Shook off a couple small ones and then shook off one close to 2.5 or 3 pounder. So that was a pretty productive practice day. My best one by far, my best 5 for that day was probably somewhere around 16 pounds. Went out there on the lake and that place that I was drifting over where I caught a 2.5 pounder and then a 3.25 pounder back to back cast. That's actually an isolated patch of boulders that I found out there in this huge sand flat on the middle of Lake Ontario. So by far my most productive practice day. Looks like we've got a little bit of stuff rolling for the tournament now. We can just get them all in the boat and get lucky and get a couple big bites. We'll do pretty well in the tournament. So that's how it was looking after day 4 of practice. Definitely helped morale after getting some decent bites finally after 4 days on that lake.
