The funny thing about this is even with all this preparation I almost guarantee that at some point Mike will have an idea of what he wants to do or throw and it won't be set up yet, or he will still have to really dig around for it. That is the beauty of serious tournament bass fishing, it is an endless riddle to solve. Good luck out there Ike!

[@drtdbbt2588]

Good luck in the morning Ike!!! Was going to say hello third day at weigh-ins at La Crosse but you had your kid hanging upside down in your arms and a mob of others wanting your attention also. Hope your family had a good couple days off and spent together, and hope you found a cold beer(s) and Cheese Curds. I'd fish Lake Oahe like you fish the Delware RIver, except might have to go a little deeper. Fishing out West a wise old Professional Walleye Angler once said you can eliminate half of a unknown body of water out there based on the prevailing winds. So for instance, if the wind has been primarily out of the west, draw a line north to south on a map of Lake Oahe and concentrate on the wind swept side of that River System/line if that make's sense.

It would be cool if you could do one of these same videos, but for preparing for a kayak tournament in your Hobie. I'm curious what you do the same, or different, between the two...

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

Great idea!

[@bryansarvis8820]

All the basscats are great, any reason you're not in the lynx. Do you like the cougar better than the puma?

[@brylancotten]

What gear ratio is your Ike series reels and how many bearings are there

[@nflisrigged1395]

I drove to Mt Rushmore once all alone from VA .. It was EPIC !! I saw Yellowstone than Idaho and went down thru Utah into Nevada then California and back across route 66 back to VA in my GTI Fun times !!!!!

[@BassGeek]

[@markmorris7205]

Yo I am up at the lake right now where you at

[@kevie3]

Mark Morris apperantly rocking the RV Park 🍻

[@mr.skeptical3071]

What if the baits you picked for this lake don't work? You'll have to redo the box.

[@smcewen7]

I think people Carry way to much tackle,I'm guilty of this also.lol But it's been said 70% of tackle we purchase, never sees the water.

[@huntinfishin7816]

seanfishingtexas I went out the other day joked with my buddies wife that I had a bag over my shoulder and a big tackle box and a bag of plastics, I used 1 lure the whole time lol but caught 2 nice walleyes so i didn't care!

[@mikeiaconellifishing]

This is true but never hurts to try and be over prepared haha
