Scott Suggs, Karyn Sanchez, Robin McFarlane, Doug Hannon

Scott Suggs won the Forrest Wood Cup (FLW Championship) on Lake Ouachita and went down in history as the first angler to win $1,000,000 in a single bass-fishing tournament. Suggs used home-lake advantage and a unique technique to target suspended bass over deep water. In the end, he overcame a tough bite and a two-fish final day to win the cup. He’s here to tell us how he found the bass, how he caught them and how he’s going to spend at least part of that million bucks. Read all the coverage of the Forrest Wood Cup at FLWOutdoors.com. And be sure to support Tru-Tungsten for helping me get in touch with Scott.

Another Forrest Wood Cup success story comes from BassFeed Pro-Staffer Karyn Sanchez. Karyn just finished 9th among the co-anglers. Karyn will share the techniques that put her in the top 10 and then she’ll look ahead to next year. Keep up with Karyn at KarynSanchez.com.

Peter T, Terry Scroggins, and Keith Phillips

Peter Thliveros will go down in bass fishing history as the only man to win two Bassmaster Memorials. Unfortunately, BASS has chosen to remove the Memorial and the three other “majors” from the 2008 schedule. So Peter T’s back-to-back Memorial titles will remain undisputed. Peter shares his mixed feelings about the end of the majors, the technique that won him the Memorial this year, and he looks ahead to the Bassmaster Elite events on the Potomac River and Lake Toho.

Then Terry “Big Show” Scroggins talks about his outstanding 2007 season on the Bassmaster Elite Tour, the Bassmaster Southern Tour, and his team win at the Toyota Big Bass Splash event held earlier this year on Lake Fork, Texas. He also provides a sneak peek of his new line of Big Show Signature rods due out soon from Castaway Rods.

Finally, Keith Phillips, who recently received the Hottest Rig Running award for his boat wrap talks about the organization that his wrap represents, Pursuing a Dream, Outdoors Without Limits and his first encounter with this group changed his life. He’ll also has news about an exciting new line of rattling lures from Rattle Head Baits. These aren’t what you think.

Bill Siemantel and Jay Yelas

Bill Siemantel didn’t write the book on bass fishing — he re-wrote it. Siemantel, along with co-author Michael Jones penned what many consider to be the definitive work on big bass fishing, titled Big Bass Zone: Catch Monster Bass. And now Bill has just released a DVD that goes one step beyond the book. In Bill Siemental Signature Series Swimbait Techniques, Bill demonstrates many of the key techniques that he was only able to tell you about in the book.

So forget what you think you know about bass fishing and listen to what Bill has to say about big swimbaits, defying conventional wisdom, the pure fun of fishing.

Then Jay Yelas, recently crowned 2007 FLW Tour Angler of the Year, checks in from Lake Ouachita, where he is practicing for the FLW Championship. Jay talks about the competition, consistency, and strategy that earned him another AOY title. He also looks ahead to some tough fishing in pursuit of this year’s championship.

LongShank and FlickShake

Longshank Spinnerbaits and Buzzbaits are named for their extra-long hook that eliminates the need for a trailer hook. But there’s much more to these unique lures than just their length. An innovative, rear-weighted head and a durable, intricate skirt make these some of the most fishable spinners and buzzers on the market. Longshank Pro Staffer Gil Johnson explains the history and innovation behind these long lures.

Then we check out the latest import from Japan, called the FlickShake. Jackall Lures introduced this technique, along with their specialized worm (pictured) and “wacky jighead” that make this finesse presentation really come alive. Curt Arakawa fills us in on the details of what promises to be the next big finesse technique and shares a bit of Jackall Lure’s impressive history in tackle design.
