5/28/06 Fun and Sun Open Lake Whitney, TX

The tournament day was greeted with overcast conditions and a stiff wind. The tournament started slow for Keith Combs and Russell Cecil. With the conditions, a spinnerbait or a crankbait looked to be in order. After the reaction bite only yielding white bass and strippers the duo changed location and techniques. The pair picked up their Carolina rigs and Big Bite Pro Lizards in pumpkinseed chartreuse. The Carolina rig immediately  produces a four pound keeper for Combs. A few cast later Cecil added a two pounder that would later be culled. With the technique and a bait that was producing bites the team began running and gunning spots with the Pro Lizard. This was the ticket. They enjoyed an all day bite culling through approximately twenty keepers to cull to the winning weight of twenty pounds. After deciding the lizard was the best bait they were able to revisit the spots that only produced stripers and white bass with success. As time was running out a Big Bite Yo MaMa in green pumpkin produced a final four pound cull from some isolated cover. It was a perfect tournament for the team and they out distanced the nearest competitor by nearly four pounds.
