Description
Folks at home! We’re back on one of my favorite fisheries in the entire country — LAKE CHAMPLAIN!
In this Going Ike highlight video, we’re taking a look back at the 2026 Bassmaster Elite at Lake Champlain in Plattsburgh, New York.
I’m not going to lie… this one was TOUGH for me! Definitely not the tournament I wanted, but that’s tournament bass fishing. You take the good with the bad, learn from it, and keep moving!
Lake Champlain showed out for the field with both big smallmouth and largemouth in play.
Here are some of the best moments from my week on Lake Champlain!
Hit LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and let me know in the comments — would you rather chase Champlain SMALLMOUTH or LARGEMOUTH?!
