TMJT Final Standings

Congratulations go out to Marcus Eckert, the winner of the Tim Johannes Memorial Tournament. Turning in a bag of 93.6 inches with a kicker bass weighing over 6 pounds, the Lake Monster blew away the competition en route to winning his second Frisco Bassmaster title.


The Lake Monster devised a gameplan and executed it to a T, catching his limit from local ponds early in the weekend and heading East to Lake Fork to add some moneymakers to his bag. Eckert swept the open division as well as taking home the big bass prize, a month's pass to Frisco Bassmaster sponsor The Pirate's Pub as well as a $150 gift card from Awesome Enterprises.


Keep your computers tuned in to Frisco Bassmasters for information on the next big Frisco Bassmaster challenge.

Lake Fork Scouting Mission

We recently sent some representatives out to Lake Fork to scout out some spots for next weekend's Tim Johannes Memorial Tournament along with who many consider to be the future of the Frisco Bassmaster's, young Connor Case. Seven of the biggest ten largemouths ever caught in Texas have come from Lake Fork to give you an idea of the lunkers it can produce. The advice I received was that you shouldn't expect to catch a lot of bass, but when you do there's a pretty good chance it could be a fattie.


Within the first five minutes on the water this was proven true as Connor hauled in this 10+ pounder.


However we proved it to only be partially true, and by the end of the day Connor had put us on 12 bass on what was widely considered a tough, post-front day where not a lot of fish were pulled in. There should be no doubt that Connor has a big future in the Frisco Bassmasters Organization.
