Exact 3 pounds = $5,000

Tammy Mong has caught lots of big bass at Toledo Bend — including an 11.24-pound monster — but a 3-pounder had her jumping for joy Friday during the first day of competition at the Sealy Outdoor Big Bass Splash.

That would be a 3-pounder that weighed exactly 3.00 pounds — and it was worth a cool $5,000 dollars for the Many angler, who is married to Derek Mong, a veteran of the Lunker Bass Program who’s taken six double digit bass at the Bend since 2011.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 17)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 64 degrees; 1.09 feet below pool. The water levels came up 3 feet after the recent rains, and the flood gates are open with more water coming down the river. Most of the creeks are muddy and stained. Bass are fair from the flooded bank out to 5 feet with frogs, chatterbaits and spinnerbaits. The mid range fish are hit-and-miss with Carolina rigs, Texas rigs and shallow running crankbaits. The deeper fish have gotten up off the bottom and they are swimming around, just hard to catch at this time due to the rising water. Navigate with caution watching for floating timber. Also with water being this high, lots of the boat lane buoys are almost underwater. More rain in the weekend forecast. Report by Stephen Johnston, Johnston Fishing.
