What's New?
The 33-year-old Illinois smallmouth bass record has been broken on Lake Michigan.
The 7-pound, 3-ounce bass was caught Monday night from Monroe Harbor in Chicago by Joe Capilupo of LaGrange, Ill. It was caught on a Z-man Ned Rig in California Craw color.
The fish measured 22¼ inches long and had a girth of 16½ inches.
Brendon Sutter and Richard Chupp Jr. won the Tuesday Night Tackle Shack Fall Fishing League at Duke’s Bridge (Waldron Chain) with four largemouth weighing 8.01 pounds.
The winners caught their keepers in clean channels next to dock poles and seawalls in 3 feet or less. They used black and blue jigs and said most of the bites came on the initial fall.
New Tackle for 2020
The all-new St. Croix Legend Elite Panfish Series features five spinning rods – each designed for extreme sensitivity to detect the subtlest of strikes – combining the lengths and actions needed to deliver lighter baits and lures with the strength and durability required to manage autumn’s trophy-sized specimens.

Zona Is the Real Deal In So Many Ways
- Details

Strike King/Lew’s VP Sales/Marketing
Traverse City, Mich. - First to bed, first to rise - Michigan's celebrity angler Mark Zona is real in so many ways.
I had the honor to film a smallmouth bass segment of Strike King’s Pro Team Journal with Crazy Z recently, and what a day I had!
We were up three hours before the sun and trailered to a mid-size lake near Traverse City. The sun broke with awesome colors on the skyline; it was a beautiful sunrise, yet it indicated that a front was on the way and we had to catch some good fish and get our filming that day.
