Brent saves the day with a solid catch to keep the Top 5 Update streak alive at seven straight weeks with a submission.

Weight: 2-11
Angler: Brent Jackson
Date: May 13
Location: Knox County public strip pit
Lure: Buzzbait
Top 5 Weight: 14-9 (3-8,2-13,2-13,2-12,2-11) culls 2-4

Brent’s overall report noted just under four hours on some public strip mine waters with an impressive haul of twenty-one bass. Every one of his bass were landed on topwater presentations, either a buzzbait or a popper/chugger. This fact prompted Brent to note in his text, “This might be the first trip in a long time with no Senko or spinnerbait bass.” Ten of his fish were “keepers” (12” or better), three hit the two-pound mark (2-11,2-1,2-0) and his Top 5 on the day weighed 9-2.

Now that’s a solid morning of catching and always entertaining when the topwater bite kicks into gear. Here’s to more of the same as we head towards Memorial Day and beyond. Talk to you later. Troy
