TABLE ROCK LAKE, Mo. – FLASHBACK: Tennessee angler Wesley Strader is fishing his very first championship event in a Major League Fishing circuit – the 1998 FLW Tour Championship on the Mississippi River. It’s the first of 32 championship tournaments that the Mercury Marine pro will fish heading into Bass Pro Shops REDCREST 2026 on Table Rock Lake.

Strader is understandably nervous, but ready to go. CURRENT TIME: Strader isn’t nervous anymore as he cranks up his Mercury for his 33^rd championship event. Quite the contrary: he’s calm as can be as he hovers in the Top 10, and chatty about his keys to success this week on Table Rock, which has seen a shift in weather and possibly a change in the moods of these Ozarks bass.
