Chapman looking for a “topper”

Brent Chapman has already had an excellent day. He’s leading, according to BASSTrakk, with a limit of spotted bass weighing 13 pounds, 15 ounces. Chapman puts his fish on a digital scale, so his BASSTrakk weight is always close to his official weight for the day.

Now Chapman has switched gears, according to photographer Andy Crawford. He’s gone shallow in search of one big largemouth bass – or more.

“I had a pretty good bag (of spots), and I wanted to come up here and try this,” Chapman said. “Try to top it off with a 7-pound largemouth.”

Chapman is throwing a frog around docks and casting a buzzbait along dock-less banks.
