## Resource

Welcome back to another episode of Before the 1st Cast on Bass Cast Radio! This week, all eyes are on the final event of the Bassmaster Elite Series. The ultimate prize—the Angler of the Year title—is officially on the line, and we are breaking down the standings, the stakes, and who has the momentum heading into this final showdown. Then, we pivot to your weekend game plan. With the late August heat pushing water temps into the bathwater zone, power fishing isn't always going to cut it. We wrap up the show with a Tackle Tip on how to salvage those tough dog days by slowing down and deploying a Neko rig. Whether you're tracking the pros or prepping to go fishing for the weekend, we've got you covered. Tune in and get your game plan ready before the first cast!
