This time last year, Ed Dunnaway of Flowood, MS won the Bass Pro Shops Open Series Mississippi divisional held June 22nd on Ross Barnett Reservoir. Dunnaway caught five-bass weighing 19.33-pounds and took home a check for $5000 for his win and $640 for his big bass of 6.11 lbs.
“Well, I actually got on a bite this week that I had confidence in. I like to throw crankbaits, I like to throw Carolina Rigs, but I found a pattern with dead-sticking a big worm and slow. I wasn’t getting a lot of bites but they were quality. I had 7 bites today by 1 in one spot and about 14 lbs. I made a move and caught a 4.50. I sat down and re-rigged my rod, took my time, made another cast, and that’s when I caught the 6.11. After that, I was done. I was ready to come to weigh in so I did.” Dunnaway said.
