We are off and running with another year of the Top 5 project courtesy of a pair of catches from the Hennepin Canal.

Weight: 1-8
Angler: Troy Jackson
Date: March 14
Weather: Overcast/very windy, 80F
Location: Hennepin Canal
Lure: Z-Man chatterbait (white) with Yamamoto Zako trailer (Tennessee shad)
Structure: Submerged logs
Angler Comments: My third cast of the trip resulted in my first bass of the year, and it was large enough to kick off my Top 5 as a bonus.

Weight: 1-11
Angler: Troy Jackson
Date: March 14
Weather: Overcast/very windy, 80F
Location: Hennepin Canal
Lure: Z-Man chatterbait (white) with Yamamoto Zako trailer (Tennessee shad)
Structure: Submerged logs
Angler Comments: It took several casts at varying angles to a collection of submerged logs before I found a bass that was interested.
Top 5 Weight: 3-3 (1-11,1-8)

It’s great to get on the board and I am looking forward to many more. Stay tuned for the full fishing report on these catches and good luck to those who get out there on the water. Talk to you later. Troy
