Lake Brownwood showed out as a hidden gem that housed some enormous fish. 65 angler’s showed up to see what this awesome lake had in store for them on a beautiful Sunday. The day started off with a flurry of giant bass submissions that shocked the leaderboard for the whole day. Larry Hill, had a nice 23.5, Mike Mashl had a giant 25.5, and they both got topped off by Jose Rodriguez with his 26+” monster that exceeded his 26″ board(easily 12lb fish). Jimmy Potter was sitting in 1st most of the day with 95.75″. But with an hour left to lines out Jake Maenius made some huge moves and landed 2 solid fish (one of them being 24.5″) giving him the lead with 97.25″. Huge congrats to all the winners, and thanks to Jody Morris and West Texas Kayak Fishing for helping run this event. And a huge thanks to Russel Potter for all the help with scoring. Well see everyone at the next event at Toledo Bend on June 22nd with the crew from ETX Paddlesports Tournaments and Events!
