<p>" We had a great day catching approximately 30-35 quality smallmouth bass on tubes and swim baits. And when the final fish was weighed we found ourselves in first place with an 8 fish team tournament limit of 28.34 pounds</p>

<p>"We also claimed the tournament lunker, a 4.24 Mohawk River that I caught on a swim bait. All the fish weighed in came on tubes fished with a Rapsody Maestro Series (RMBS6101MXF) or swim baits fished with a Maestro Series RMBC701HF and a Bass Pro Shop Pro Qualifier Bait Caster. "</p>
