Smallmouth beatdown, Volume II

After a total smallmouth smashfest on the St. Lawrence River, the Elite Series kicks it up a notch with a visit to the No. 1 bass lake in the world, Lake St. Clair.

How-To

On point with Brandon Palaniuk

The key to Palaniuk's win at the St. Lawrence River Elite Series tournament was finding better than average smallmouth bass.

Lake St. Clair: Going for broke

Tomorrow we’ll be starting the last Elite Series tournament of the 2013 season. I wish we had several more coming up. It would be OK with me if B.A.S.S. doubled the number of Elites.

Down to the wire

Tournament fishing always seems to come down to the final tournament, the final day or the final fish. For me it really comes down to this final tournament to make the Bassmaster Classic.

Elite Series: The final push

Lake St. Clair promises another big smallmouth fest for the field of 99 Bassmaster Elite Series pros at next week’s regular-season finale out of Detroit.
