Shoe’sTop Bass Tournament Trail held its 8th tournament of the 2024 season on Lake St. Helen.This tournament was named “The Yamaha Outboards & Jay’s Sporting Goods Open”, after two of our Great Sponsors.This was one of the best tournaments that Top Bass has had on St. Helen in regards to fish caught. We had 36 limits come to the scales. There were plenty of big fish that got weighed in. We had 1-6#. 2-5#, 5-4# & 23-3# bass come to scales. The big bags probably had more 3+# bass in them that did not get weighed individually. All fish were released alive.
