Summary
Welcome back to Before the 1st Cast, powered by Bass Cast Radio! This week, Trever Wagner dives into a jam-packed weekend of competitive bass fishing. We kick things off with a full recap of the NPFL event on Millwood Lake before breaking down the unforgettable action at the Bassmaster Open on Grand Lake O' the Cherokees. We discuss Wyatt Burkhalter's absolute dominance to take the win and celebrate a massive milestone for the sport: Kristen Fischer making history as the first female angler to weigh in a 20-pound bag! We also look ahead to another busy week on the water with a quick preview of BPT Stage 5 on Beaver Lake and the next Bassmaster Open on Lake Norman. Finally, stick around for the Tackle Tip of the Week. If you love a massive surface strike, you won't want to miss this breakdown of topwater walking baits. We're talking through the mechanics and drawing power of a couple of absolute favorites: the classic Heddon Spook and the Evergreen Shallow Blows.
