Clear Lake will always be a special place for many reasons. One of which, is it’s the lake me and some of the crew hung out for the first time back in 2017. We all happened to like Sierra Nevada Beer so we knew it was a good fit right away. This video is the Final tournament day at Clear Lake finishing out with Day 2 of the Chris Laird Memorial.

Congrats on another tournament where you made the top 10. When you got your limit before 8 am, I felt dejected because I've only managed that once on Clear Lake. I liked how the bass hit you hard instead of the sissy "weight" on the end of the line. I'm here for the fight! Thanks again for a fun video - best wishes on your next adventure 😊

Greg, I’d recommend upgrading the front hook on the choppo to a size 2. I’ve noticed it really helps with my hook-up ratio. Those were some nice fish, it looked like a lot of fun!

@Henfishitydog 2 жыл бұрын

Upgrading the front treble also helps keep it from spinning.

@natefi2608 2 жыл бұрын

With that topwater I fish lots of smallmouth lakes and they are notorious for slapping at topwater I almost always put on more than one split ring on and either upside or downsize hook but with that chapo it’s a reeling bait so you don’t have to worry about the extra weight messing up the action opposed to like a spook or something

Good job like always Greg. Quick question though....why do you reel right handed on your frog rod and left handed on some other rods?? I'm right handed and all of my baitcasters are left handed reel and it makes it a lot easier to swing with my dominant arm and reel with my off hand (left). Especially on a frog hookset. Jw your thoughts on all that lol
