Congrats bro

[@shawnhammack5302]

This was my first open it was an experience. I jumped in because buggs is my home lake. Nice job on your finish

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks Shawn! Hope it was a good event for you

[@shawnhammack5302]

@AndrewUpshawFishing I finished 14th I was slow to make an adjustment cost me top 10 but I am happy with it.

[@shawnhammack5302]

I think the cold hurt the fry guards more than water rising if it was warm they would have came up with the water.

[@timscruggs7611]

Andrew! Loved your video, especially here in VA. Buggs is a flood control Reservoir! You can call the dam (Army Corp of Eng.) to get lake levels. 300' is full pool!

[@KNRbaits]

Working your way up good luck, congratulations

[@chundle09]

Thanks for giving breakdown on each catch. Not many anglers doing that and a lot we miss/can learn from you explaining it.

I moved from Nacogdoches to near Raleigh and Kerr was a lake I was excited to fish. Big difference from east Texas. I’ve gotten better but the fish are simply smaller there. Had many of the same feelings as you when I moved here.

Nice job put there Andrew that lake is about an hour or so from my house and it's definitely a bushes lake,good finish glad things finally went your way

[@williamknight5142]

Congrats on a good finish👍👍👍👍👍

[@geoffgurney88]

Awesome video 👍

[@williamprewett3777]

Way to come back. Middle of the pack at Toledo is a slip up for you. Still would like to see what went wrong. Expected a top 20 at toledo.?

[@chrishampton8842]

Good event, keep it going Andrew!

I finished 6th at the 1994 BASS Invitational on Kerr straight up site fishing so it is a viable strategy. The first day leader pulled a lower boat number and beat me to my best fish. Nobody else was on any of my fish the rest of the event. I won a Federation event in the same area blind bed fishing, higher water and not as clear. Well done 👍.

Good Stuff

[@AndrewUpshawFishing]

Thanks buddy

[@jackstein5486]

Glad you discovered the gloves, been wearing them for years. I used to use ` gloves and they are good but the fish monkey gloves and face guards are the best!

[@lmramos44]

Flipping was created by Dee Thomas out here in California as a method to fish the Sacramento delta. It can be absolutely lethal during the right time of the year. Been doin it for the last thirty plus years…..
