2015 Aug. 20-23 BRAD KNIGHT Winner: LANCING, TENN. Four-day winning weight: 51-12 Lake level: 571 feet Water temperature: mid-80s to low 90s Weather: warm (mid- to upper 80s) and humid with some scattered thunderstorms Winning pattern: no one was sur- prised when Knight caught a solid day-one limit in a creek ditch in the back of big blakely creek, but three days later, when the Tennessee pro won the tournament without ever leaving his 250-yard stretch, he raised a few eyebrows. Knight caught his first limit by targeting channel swings with a buzzbait. Then Knight switched to a drop-shot and plucked three limits off logs, brush and root wads on the flats adjacent to the channel. JULY 2018 I FLWFISHING.COM 73
