PRO GUIDE BATTERIES AIA TOURNAMENT TRAIL, PRESENTED BY PHOENIX BOATS

Table Rock Lake: May 8, 2021
Port of Kimberling Resort: 113 Boats

The final tournament of the 2021 Table Rock Lake division is now in the books. A total of 113 teams arrived at the Port of Kimberling Resort on Saturday, ready to hit the water for a 6am takeoff. Unfortunately, mother nature had different plans. Severe storms rolled through the area Saturday morning, pushing takeoff back to 630am.

Ryan Butler (celebrating his 40th bday) and Dustin Lippe took the win Saturday at the final Table Rock Lake division tournament of the season. Dustin & Ryan culled through numerous fish Saturday, with a final 5 bass limit that locked in on 18.57 lbs. Ryan and Dustin took home a total of $3,800 in AiA winnings, plus they were Phoenix First Flight members, which earned them another $7,000....for a total win of $10,800. Congratulations gentlemen !!

We want to thank everyone for their participation at the 2021 Table Rock Lake division this season. We appreciate all of the anglers and sponsors for your continued support, and look forward to seeing you at the 2021 Anglers in Action Tournament of Champions at Grand Lake in November. Thank you to the Port of Kimberling Resort for the tournament accommodations, Table Rock Fishing Intel for their support this season, and to Ulrich Marine for operating the live release boat and getting those fish back to the lake healthy and ready to catch another day.

1st Place: Dustin Lippe & Ryan Butler

Dustin & Ryan fished fairly close to the take off most of the day, chasing active fish. They reported not having a solid plan going into the tournament, so they just went fishing. Once they got a feel for their mood early, they started focusing on similar areas and ran that pattern all day. Dustin & Ryan caught their fish on a Big Bite Baits Finesse Swimmer on a Jewel Gem Shad head and also topwater baits around active fish.

"We feel like our Denali Lithium rods spooled with Sunline were a key for us, and would like to give a shout out to AFTCO for keeping us comfortable and dry, and to Phoenix and Mercury for getting us around the lake," said Ryan.



2nd Place: Josh Wray & Donald Wray

3rd Place: Kelly Jones & Roger Satterfield


Lew's Big Bass: Phillip Stone & Pete Leonard (6.23 lbs.)
