The 27 year old electrician from Kansas, fishing with his buddy, Damon Simmons, landed his 5.96 lb. bass on Saturday and weighed it in at Southwinds Marina in the 12-2pm time slot.
Weston was fishing an area south of Monkey Island on Saturday, just inside a secondary point. He pitched a pbj colored 3/8 oz jig behind a dock in around 8 feet of water. The winning fish hammered it and the fight was on. Weston boated the $50,000 fish, raced over to Southwinds Marina on Monkey Island, and locked in his winning weight of 5.96 lbs. on the Big Bass Bash scales. That fish held up the remainder of the day Saturday and just edged out a close call on Sunday, to take the win, the TROPHY, and the $50,000 GRAND PRIZE. Congratulations again to Weston Taconis, your 2021 Timmons Oil Company Grand Lake Big Bass Bash champion !!

Andrew, fishing with his boat partner, Chris Heatherly, ran a pbj colored chatterbait tipped with a green pumpkin trailer down the side of a dock in 10-12 feet of water, when it was engulfed.

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.)
