Keith Combs of Del Rio, Texas dominated the field at the PAA event on Lake Tawakoni this week finishing with 15 bass weighing 60.48 lbs setting a new PAA series record. Here’s how it went down, Keith told us he didn’t catch a lot of fish, but the ones he caught were the right ones. Key lures were a prototype Lateral Perch by Power Tackle, a lead headed bait he could skip easily. The other was a 3/8 oz Oldhams jig (black/blue) with a Zoom Jr. chunk.

Keith Combs watched another angler fishing in front of him down the same bank of Lake Tawakoni, both of them working the same shoreline in a rotation found in several places on the lake Thursday afternoon. The first angler departed and Combs continued fishing toward a spot he said “ ... was just obvious; it just looked like it would have a bass on it.”
It did, and when Combs got it to the boat the largemouth weighed 9.23 pounds, a monster that propelled him to the lead after the first day of the PAA Bass Pro Shops Tournament Series presented by Carrot Stix. “I already had another good...
