Jason Root had a tough first day. His second and final day wasn't looking all that good either. Then, out of the blue, fortune smiled on the Fostoria, Ohio, angler.

"It was a crazy thing. We were checking out a few deep areas out in the lake — without much success — when my co-angler and I saw birds feeding, diving and pretty much going crazy over in shallow water. We ran over there and found a school of the biggest smallies I've ever encountered.
