Little John 50 Leads @paulmarks42 to Victory! Paul Marks once again showcased his mastery of herring fisheries, capturing his second career Bassmaster Elite Series victory at Lake Murray with a key assist from the legendary SPRO USA Little John 50 squarebill crankbait. The Cumming, Georgia pro secured the win at at Lake Murray with a four-day total of 90 pounds, 14 ounces, earning the $100,000 top prize and his second blue trophy in just over a year. While Marks mixed techniques throughout the event, it was a critical final-day adjustment with the SPRO Little John 50 that helped turn the tournament in his favor. Fishing on one of the country’s premier blueback herring lakes, Marks relied on years of experience chasing pelagic bass to make the right adjustments throughout changing weather conditions and shifting fish behavior. Championship Sunday began slowly, however, as several of his key offshore areas failed to produce. “Today was just spectacular, it was one of those days you dream of,” Marks said. “Everything went perfectly.” Instead of forcing the pattern, Marks trusted his instincts and made a pivotal move to a riprap pattern where the SPRO Little John 50 quickly produced the quality bites he needed to make a charge. #spro #sprousa #wearespro #sprofishing
