Jamey Black and William Morris Win the Get5Bass Winter Series Tournament on Lake Hamilton
William Morris and Jamey Black Win on Lake Hamilton!!!
Jamey Black and William Morris topped 34 teams fishing the Get5Bass Winter Series Tournament this weekend on Lake Hamilton by catching 5 bass that tipped the scales at 12.64 pounds. Although it is still the Fall, "Winter Series" was an appropriate name for this tournament, as temperatures hovered around the 37 degree mark, there were Northwest winds blowing in the 20 - 30 mph range, and snow occasionally flew from the sky. The changing weather conditions turned the bite on, as every team weighed bass and their were 31 limits brought to the scales. Here's how the top three teams caught their fish:
Jamey and William hammered em' and had a great day on the water. They estimated that they caught 20 keepers and their sack included the day's big bass, a 4.98 pound "baby cub" which earned them an additional $150. Most of their keepers were caught on Bandit 200 and 300 crankbaits fished around windy banks and points, but they also caught keepers on Zoom Brushhogs, spinnerbaits, and jigs.
Ricky and Trent caught all of their fish on homemade jig (1/2 Oz.; Black/Blue). They caught their limit in the first 30 minutes and caught 10 keepers on the day.
