AZ Head to Head Bracket Tournament - Round 5 - Championship - June 29th - Lake Pleasant

Down to the final 3, and Lake Pleasant was the lucky draw. I had fished the previous weekend and decided to run the same pattern and areas. It produced a great bag Sunday and was hoping for a repeat. Unfortunately, the big fish didn't cooperate.
I started in the back of the launch area and had two fish in minutes but were both small keepers and couldn't get a big bite, so moved to a few other areas had hit. I noticed that the water had cleared up and dropped 2-3ft in the last few days. I downsized my bait and proceeded to catch fish after fish culling up my limit at every spot but just not solid bites. I caught over 70 fish and all came on a dropshotted worm. At the end of the day I could only total up to 5 fish for 7lb 12oz. Second place edged me out with two late fish that pushed him up to 8lbs 5oz. The winner had a small bag until hooked into a 7+ and a 4.5lb largemouth that pushed him up to a great 16lbs 12oz.
I had an absolute blast and am looking forward to the series next year, it is one of the most fun series that I am able to compete in.
