Top Rod hit Elmer Lake this past weekend, and Mother Nature wasn’t playing nice—gusty winds and a stubborn bite made for a brutal day on the water. But that didn’t stop Rick from digging deep and powering through to claim his first win of the 2025 season in epic fashion! . George wasn't far behind, locking in second place with a solid showing of his own and this weeks tournament lunker! It wasn’t pretty, but it was pure Top Rod—tough lake, tougher anglers.
