Largemouth Dominate Lake Lanier Gambler TournamentAs 120 plus boats headed out for the No Entry Fee Gambler Tournament on Lake Lanier we had heard rumors of largemouth bass heading for the beds. As the weigh in concluded there was no doubt a few teams had cashed in on these fish. Normally dominated by spots, this year produced two of the biggest largemouth bags we have seen over the past four years. Tyler Cronic and Ricky Cronic took home the 1st place prize with 24.02. Their bag also included the big fish of the tournament weighing in at 6.82. A 22.02 bag brought in by Nick Tinsley and Steven Dockery was good enough for 2nd. They were followed up by Jim Tortter and Barbara Trotter wtih 16.86. Chris Peeples and Timmy Cagle had 15.60 good enough for 4th, and Chad Woodall and Dwight Woodall weighed 15.28 for the 5th place finish. As the top boats were checked it was evident the main lures of choice were Gambler Little Otters, Flappy Daddies, and Ace's rigged on Giggy Heads and Double Collar Ball Headed Gambler Jigs. Allthough their were a few big spots weighed the big fish seemed to be mostly largemouth.
Be sure to check in with Hammond's Fishing for a couple of new custom color Ace's and Super Studs just for the fisherman on Lanier. |

Gambler Lures once again demonstrated their bass-catching effectiveness in B.A.S.S. Open, FLW Tour and EverStart circuit competitions. Several anglers, both pros and co-anglers, enjoyed heavy hauls in Florida waters to start their 2011 season off right. The following are the accounts. Brandon McMillan Gambler Pro-Staffer Brandon McMillan might as well adopt "Okeechobee" as his middle name because he nearly swept two national tournaments on the same venue in less than one month. While the competition was stiff, McMillan’s approach was simple. He found and exploited a healthy population of behemoth bass that were vulnerable to a flipping presentation on the north end of the lake. Meanwhile, the majority of his fellow competitors focused on bedding fish. McMillan recounts, "I fished the same area in both tournaments – in and around Monkey Box. The area really didn’t have much pressure. In fact, it was just me and one other guy fishing the area in the FLW Tour. I figured I was going to have a bunch of boats around me after the EverStart, but I did not."
