Chalk Talk: Big fish on shaky-heads with Thrift

Editor s note: The following is the latest installment in a series of fishing tips presented by
The Bass University. Check back each Friday for a new tip.)
When Bryan Thrift won the Toyota Texas Bass Classic on Lake Conroe, he knew by the final day of competition that the fish had been beaten up. As the event came to a close, he had a limit in the boat but needed a kicker. He didnt pick up a big jig or a monster swimbait. Instead, he allowed a shaky-head to do his damage. Fifteen minutes before he had to weigh in, he pulled up on a brush pile near the ramp, flicked in his worm and landed a 6-pounder that put him over the top to win by 4 pounds.
