Hey there, bass fans, it’s your pal Artificial Lure here with the latest scoop from the world of bass fishing in the United States. If you’re itching to get out there and see what’s biting, you’re in the right place. First up, the big news: Justin Lucas and Brent Ehrler just ran away with the Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup on Cross Lake, Louisiana. These two powered through some tough conditions and stacked up a total of 29 pounds, 9 ounces, beating the defending champs by more than 12 pounds. Lucas brought in 10 bass for 19-1, and Ehrler’s late surge sealed the deal. If you’re looking for a hot spot, Cross Lake is definitely heating up, and the Summit Cup action is a must-watch when it hits Outdoor Channel next May. Over in Texas, Possum Kingdom Lake is still dropping some impressive numbers. The latest all-tackle record for largemouth bass is 16.02 pounds, caught back in 1989, but there’s still plenty of action for anglers who know where to look. If you’re chasing a trophy, this is one lake you don’t want to sleep on. Meanwhile, the National Professional Fishing League is gearing up for its 2026 season, and the field is full at 130 anglers. But if you’re a talented newcomer, there’s still a chance to squeeze in. The season kicks off in March on Florida’s Harris Chain of Lakes and wraps up in September on Lake George, New York. With events in Texas, Alabama, and more, it’s shaping up to be the biggest and best season yet. For the weekend warriors, Lake Fork in Texas is getting ready for its first-ever amateur-only tournament in March 2026. Lake Fork Lures and Sealy Outdoors are teaming up to put on a big-time event with over $100,000 in prizes. If you’re looking for a chance to test your skills against some of the best amateurs in the country, this is your shot. Back in Illinois, the fall bite is on, with white bass and largemouths taking advantage of the cooler water. Anglers are reporting good action across the state, so if you’re in the Midwest, now’s the time to get out there and see what you can catch. And for those of you who love a good derby, the 71st Annual LBI Surf Fishing Classic is still going strong on Long Beach Island. With daily, weekly, and grand prizes, it’s a great way to get in on some friendly competition and maybe even walk away with a little extra cash. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to come back next week for more fresh updates from the world of bass fishing.
