Mike Vaughn Classic 2025 II California Delta Bass Fishing

Mike Vaughn Classic 2025 II California Delta Bass Fishing

In this video, I fish the Mike Vaughn Classic out of Ladd's Marina on the legendary California Delta. This was a 3-fish limit tournament with just under 100 boats and a ton of talented anglers on the water. We were in the first flight out and had an awesome start to the morning!

The bite was hot early — landed bass on senkos, poppers, and crankbaits right away. Things slowed down later in the day, but the biggest fish came on a chatterbait with a new trailer I don’t usually throw — might be adding that to the rotation!

We boated 20+ fish throughout the day, but just couldn’t find the size we needed. Finished with just under 6 lbs for our best three. Still, a great day for numbers and even better being part of a great event with good people supporting a good cause.
