Catching BIG BASS for the WIN | USA BASSIN on LAKE BARKLEY | June 7, 2022

Week two of the USA BASSIN Tuesday night division on Lake Barkley ended with a win for me. I kept it simple and fishing main lake current breaks, bluffs, flipped shallow cover, and fished a big spinnerbait once it got dark to fill out my limit. These are only 4 hour tournaments and it felt awesome to be able to weigh a limit fishing solo. Hopefully the next 8 tournaments will go as well as this one!
