I had a chance to talk online with the "Avid Angler" Division champion Ben Adrien who told me the bite was slow for the most part and anglers had to battle rain all day. Most of the smallmouth patterns he was counting on to fill stringer weren't producing big fish. Luckily for him he caught the biggest fish of the tournament, a 23.25" Largemouthn using a Mission 3:16 Swimbait fished through slack water.
