MLF Bass Pro Tour - Stage 2 - Top 10

2nd Place - Mark Davis - 38lb - 13oz - $45,000

Every one of his fish was caught with a 6-inch Yamamoto Senko in either black and blue or junebug with a light tungsten weight (1/16-ounce), and he rigged it on a 5/O round-bend hook.

3rd Place - Matt Becker - 36lb - 15oz - $35,000

"The last day, I got on a shad spawn pattern with a lipless crankbait and vibrating jig in Apopka, but flipping a 5-inch Yamamoto Fat Senko in bruised shin was what I caught the bulk of my weight on for the week." Becker had multiple setups with his Senko with different weights for the cover. "I had one with a 3/16-ounce Epic Tungsten weight and another with a 1/2-ounce weight. The hook I used was a 3/O TroKar TK135 flipping hook."

4th Place - Terry Scroggins -36lb - 7oz - $30,000

Scroggins kept his bait selection simple, using a Zoom Magnum Finesse Worm in various colors fished on a 7/16-ounce weight. "I used redbug, junebug and a straight black one," he said. "It was whatever I could get my hands on, because none of the stores around there had any left. But the darker colors were the best."

5th Place - Fletcher Shryock - 27lb - 15oz - $25,000

Fletcher's main weapon was a soon-to-be-released Big Bite Baits FAFO (Flip Around and Find Out) creature bait in several dark colors. He fished it on a 1.5-ounce weight and 4/O TroKar TK135 Monster flipping hook. "I was on my trolling motor hard all day, every day of the tournament, and my Lowrance Ghost trolling motor and MillerTech lithium batteries were crucial, and they didn't let me down," he said.

6th Place - Jacob Wheeler - 23lb - 9oz - $23,000

Wheeler's top bait was a Rapala CrushCity Bronco Bug with a 1/2-ounce VMC tungsten weight and 4/O VMC Redline flipping hook. "Around the heavier stuff, I'd use a 5/8-ounce weight," said Wheeler. "I used a few different colors, including candy bug and green pumpkin blue pearl, and that bait seemed to generate bigger bites. I caught one fish on a frog, but every other fish came on the Bronco Bug."

7th Place - Jacob Wall - 16lb - 10oz - $22,000

"I've got like 14 rods on my front deck and caught them on various things," Jacob said. "It was a bunch of stuff: a Zoom Magnum Speed Worm, Carolina rig, 3-inch Duckett Subtle Tail swimbait, a jerkbait, lipless crankbait and a vibrating jig. But the 1/2-ounce vibrating jig in a golden shiner color and a lipless crankbait stood out for me." The lipless bait was an out-of-production 3/4-ounce Megabass Vibration-X. His primary area was at the mouth of the Ocklawaha River at the top of Lake Griffin.

8th Place - James Elam - 10lb - 3oz - $21,000

Elam's three key lures were a jerkbait and a gold-and-black, 1/2-ounce LIVETARGET Golden Shiner Rattlebait with #2 Mustad KVD inline short shank trebles. He also slowed down at times with a LIVETARGET ICT 6.5-inch Finesse Worm in blue purple rigged on a drop-shot with a Mustad Tactical Bass Alpha Grip 3/0 flipping hook and 1/4-ounce Mustad TitanX drop-shot weight. "I was pitching and flipping that drop-shot," he said. "It was a power-shot rig, so I fished it on a baitcast rod with 15-pound fluorocarbon."

9th Place - Andy Morgan - 7lb - 6oz - $20,500

Andy's top lure was a Zoom Zlinky in junebug, which he fished with a 5/0 straight shank hook and Strike King Tour Grade tungsten weight. "I used 1/4-ounce as long as I could when the wind was bearable but had to go heavier on the last day," he shared.

10th Place - Keith Poche - 2lb - 2oz - $20,000

Keith's top bait was a black-and-blue Berkley PowerBait MaxScent The General with a 3/8-ounce weight and 5/O straight-shank flipping hook. "You had to fish slow and pick apart the areas," he said. "I'd put my Power-Poles down and fish, fish, fish, then pick them up and move a little further down."
