Gerald Swindle’s 2018 Bassmaster Elite Series at Lake Martin Didn't start the year like I expected in my home state of Alabama, but it wasn't a major disaster. Finished 70th at Lake Martin, but have since rebounded well. Be on the lookout for my Grand Lake, Kentucky Lake and Lake Travis videos!

2018 Bassmaster Classic at Lake Hartwell Finished in the Top 10 at the 2018 Bassmaster Classic at Lake Hartwell. Needed a few more good bites to take home the trophy, but it's always good to be in contention on the final day!

Gerald Swindle’s 2018 Bassmaster Elite Series at Grand Lake The 2nd Bassmaster Elite Series event of 2018 took us to Grand Lake in Oklahoma. Had a great week and caught em good throughout the event. Day 1 was stellar and it got tougher everyday, but I adjusted and managed to find enough fish for 25th place. I had 49 pounds, 5 ounces and got great points for the Toyota Angler of the Year race.

Gerald Swindle’s 2018 Bassmaster Elite Series at Kentucky Lake The 3rd event of the 2018 Bassmaster Elite Series season was at Kentucky Lake in Paris, Tennessee. Every time we've been to this fishery in the past its been a deep bite and an offshore tournament. This time around a lot of fish were shallow, but they were beginning to transition from spawning to post spawn. I managed to finish in 31st with 46-2 over three days of fishing. Caught a lot of fish on a jerk bait and spinnerbait with a little bit of slow fishing mixed in.

Gerald Swindle’s 2018 Bassmaster Elite Series at Lake Travis Finished up Toyota Bassmaster Texas Fest at Lake Travis in 49th place. Managed to catch a bunch of fish. Lake Travis has so many fish in it and is on the upswing. Caught a big one (6-10) which helped a ton. Always good to get paid!

2017 Elite Series #1 – Cherokee Lake Fished in frigid conditions to start the 2017 season on Cherokee Lake. Managed to catch fish on a jig and a DT6 crankbait and finished in 26th place with over 41 pounds. Great start to the season.

2017 Elite Series #3 – Toledo Bend Managed to mix in some sight fishing and some shallow grass fishing to pull out a 20th place finish in the 3rd regular season event of the 2017 season.

2017 Elite Series #4 – Ross Barnett Ross Barnett Reservoir was a tough nut to crack and I didn't get it done in Mississippi. Finished 83rd with a two-day total of 17 pounds, 11 ounces. That's how it goes sometimes, but I moved on to the next one!

TOP 12 at Sam Rayburn – 2017 Elite Series #5 Knocked out my first Top 12 of the 2017 season at Sam Rayburn. That place is full of fish and I caught fish on numerous baits! My main setup was a Green Pumpkin Chatterbait and I fished it around hydrilla. Also caught some on topwater (Zara Spook) and a jerkbait.

2017 Elite Series #6 – Lake Dardanelle Lake Dardanelle gave us some crazy conditions for the 6th Bassmaster Elite Series event of the year. There was a lot of dirty, high water, plenty of bait for the bass to feed on and every bite was crucial during the event. Finished up in 31st with 37 pounds, 3 ounces and got some good points.

TOP 12 at St. Lawrence River — 2017 Elite Series #7 I put together a good event at the St. Lawrence River, which was the first tournament of the Northern Swing for 2017. Managed to get a Top 12 and finish in 10th. It was good momentum and my second Top 12 in three events. Crazy to think 76 pounds, 8 ounces will only get you 10th with this group of anglers!
