Bassmaster Elite Series Winyah Bay Top Baits

1st Place - Britt Myers

Britt Myers Bassmaster Elite Series Winyah Bay Britt Myers caught the majority of his weight in the event using a white 1/2oz Z-Man Elite Chatterbait tipped with a Keitech Swing Impact Fat 3.8 in 426 Sexy Shad. However, his most important bait may have been a white Zoom Super Fluke rigged weightless on a 3/0 Gamakatsu EWG Worm hook which he tied on during the final day of the event in order to fill out his limit. When Myers arrived back to the weigh-in site, he only hoped he wouldn't drop out of the top 5, little did he know the tough day he experienced was not unique and his small limit was just enough to squeak by Brett Hite.

2nd Place - Brett Hite
