Best Bass Fishing Spots and Tournament Winners for Early 2026 Season

Hi, this is Alex Cantrowitz, I'm the host of Big Technology Podcast, a long time reporter

and an on-air contributor to CNBC.

And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing

the business world and our lives.

So each week on Big Technology, I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech

and outsiders trying to influence it, asking where this is all going, to come from places

like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, and plenty more.

So if you want to be smart with your wallet, your career choices, and meetings with your

colleagues and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology Podcasts or ever you get

your podcasts.

Hey, I'm Josh Spiegel, host of the podcast, Lunatic in the Newsroom.

If you enjoy journalism that drifts into my old panic, wild overthinking, and a guaranteed

nervous breakdown, Lunatic in the newsroom is for you.

It's news like you've never heard before.

The only newsroom with a panic button, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and gasp and horror

as the show spirals completely out of control.

It's not just news, it's emotionally unstable.

Lunatic in the newsroom, listen today.

Hey, folks, artificial lore here, slaying the latest on US based chasing, with that local

vibe you fly anglers might dig, think precise casts in the structure, just swapping feathers

for flippers, early 2026s heating up faster than a summer hatch, and I've got the fresh

scoop on monster poles, prime honey holes, and buzzworthy bass buzz, kicking off with notable

catches.

Takahiro Omori just crushed the heartwell turnie, dominating with chatterbait-bladed jigs

for the early season win, Perr, the bass cast reports from March 6th, over on Lake

Wilde, Caden Bookman, and Chase Woodzinski, Sacked 218 pointer the devil, Takahiro Omori

just crushed the past 10x5 to snack angler's choice glory, while Dustin Ayers and Dustin

McCurry hauled 24.50 pounds.

Lake Anna Solo Ace, Jeremy Radford, dropped 23 pounds, and Jeremy Sutherley boated a

whopping 28.73 pound limit at Cat Lake Anna.

Don't sleep on Lake Gunnersville either.

Alabama Bass Trail North Division opener saw 225 teens hammering it, with big sacks lighting

up the scales in the YouTube recap.

Got spots?

Lake Heartwell's offshore bite is firing on all cylinders for ledges and summer patterns,

says Guide Cole Wilson via GON.com's March report, low 50s watertemp's climate, perfect

for targeted drop shots, or finesse rigs, akin to niff and deep runs.

Santee Cooper's poppin' in pro-circuit action, Florida's Kissimmee chain delivered 22

plus pound days for co-anglers, like Jonathan Forrest and MLF, and Kerr Lake Cat Winners,

Randy Waterman, and Eddie Four, bag 18.75 pounds.

Louisiana's saline Larto Complex is a sleeper.

LDWF update shows largemouth growing faster than state averages, hitting 8 inches in 0.81

years.

With high catch rates on the Larto side, thanks to better water and habitat, per Louisiana

sportsmen.

Interesting info, Knoxville's gearing for the 2026 Bassmaster Classic on the Tennessee

River, giant potential brewing, with kickoff party hype building via visit Knoxville.

Torney trails like Cat are red-hot across the southeast, from Lake Murray's 25.10 pounds

Scott Farmer win, to Santee Cooper's 41.92 pound, H-H-W.

In gar actions crossing paths, Silas Turner's 31 pounds 14 ounces state record long nose

on Lake Blacks year, thought it was bass at first, via the citizen, reminding us big water

holds surprises.

Fly peeps, these bass spots reward long, accurate presentations, grab a seven-week, some

closures, and hit them subtle.

Waters waking up, limits are fat, and records are fallen.

Thanks for tuning in, y'all, come back next week for more.
