What a weekend on Big Stone Lake fishing the Minnesota Tournament Trail with my dad. My second time ever on Big Stone and it did not disappoint.

If you've never fished Big Stone, the weeds run from shore to shore and grow halfway up the water column. With the lake being so clear, finding fish in the middle of the day is a real puzzle. My practice plan was simple: find them up shallow after dark, then find where they pushed out over the weeds in deeper water during the day.

Day 1 my first spot came up empty and I burned a few hours relocating. Moved to my second spot and within an hour I had my 5. I made the call to leave fish there and save them for Day 2. Caught a 25" and 28" to upgrade and ended the day in 3rd with 28 pounds.

Day 2 I went right back. Three hours of waiting before they finally came out of the weeds, then about an hour bite window to catch my 5. Wind died, fish tucked back in, and I couldn't find an upgrade. We headed in hoping to hold 3rd. Turns out the top Day 1 guys struggled and we had done enough to take the win. The key was reading my Garmin livescope. Fish were there every time I looked. Knowing which marks were walleye made all the difference.

First MTT win of the year. Big Stone, we will be back. 🏆🎣
