It turns out the pessimists were correct, but not entirely. Jordan delivered some big bites for anglers. When it was over, five fish of 21\u201d or longer were submitted, including a 23\u201d tank landed by Logan Turner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From end to end, it was a tough event in which fishing pressure, boat traffic and a high-pressure system sitting over the area all played a role. The anglers who placed, won hourly bass prizes or earned AOY points had to grind through every bite in a hot sun that felt more like July than April. Despite a great turnout of 55 competitors, less than 100 bass were posted in all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If April wasn\u2019t cruel, then Jordan Lake certainly was.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nEarly Bites, Missed Bites and Big Bites<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe morning started with a cold bite but one angler came out hot. Leland Stuff posted three good early fish, but he missed a few good ones as well while fishing a topwater bait. He held the early lead, however, until Michael Benjamin passed him with a limit of four fish. Benjamin held the lead until noon, when Stiff posted his fourth fish and moved back into first place. Stiff then posted his fifth fish and took a commanding lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bite remained slow but consistent. That description summarizes the style of Will Lambert, too. As noon came and went, it became apparent that he was stacking a good limit. When he reached five fish, Lambert passed Stiff by a mere .25\u201d. Benjamin, who had steadily worked to within striking distance, remained in third place overall. Brian Falbe and Diego Contreras rounded out the final money spots in the final standings, a good mix of veteran anglers and more recent faces to the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michael Benjamin landed his fish primarily by fishing a jerk bait and a spinnerbait. Stiff, landed his using finesse tactics, including a green pumpkin mini Brush Hog and a Four Seven Lures Shaky Worm. Will Lambert land his five keepers using five different lures: a popper, a swim jig, a wacky worm, a swim bait and Texas-rigged plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWith his win, Will Lambert became the first angler in CKA history to reach double-digit victories in the club, and he now has earned a spot in the 2026 CKA Tournament of Champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Big Bass Hourly<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe CKA Big Bass hourly produced for anglers yet again, as five anglers who were not in the money won hourly big bass prizes. Those anglers were Ronald Singletary, Drew Blair, Brandon Baine, Garriett Chavis and Logan Turner. Will Lambert and Leland Stiff rounded out the other spots (Lambert claimed two hourlies). Turner hauled in a 23\u201d tank of a Jordan Lake Bigmouth to claim the overall Big Bass pot, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Payouts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIn sum, the eight hourly spots paid out $1,040 in total, and five of those anglers did not cash checks elsewhere. Logan Turner won $550 for big bass, for a total of $680 for a single fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the top five money spots in the tournament paid out a total of $1,990. Will Lambert won two hourlies, making his total haul $1180. In total, CKA paid out over $3,000 in prize money to ten unique competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judges\u2019 Note<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nEvent judging went more smoothly for this event, with anglers answering calls from the judge and problem solving when issues arose. Only two fish were denied tout court \u2013 one for an illegible ID code and the other for being positioned incorrectly on the board. CKA directors are grateful to all the anglers for their patience and good manners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
