Terry “Big Show” Scroggins, Bobby Lane, and Tommy Biffle graciously share their insight on all things TTBC -- including big bass, the lures they predict will be used to catch them, and the country music concerts they look forward to most following weigh–in each day.
Q: What’s the biggest bass you’ve ever caught from Lake Conroe?
Scroggins:A 9-pounder on a crankbait, but it was during practice.
Bobby Lane:7 pounds, 8 ounces on a crankbait.
Biffle:8 pounds 8 ounces on a black and blue jig
Q: What do you like most about TTBC?
Scroggins:The huge crowds. That gives us a chance to showcase our sponsors to a lot of folks.
Bobby Lane:I love the catch, record, and release format. Our ride-along judge records our catch – and we release it immediately – but if we catch one over 21”, we get to put it in a holding tank in the back of a Tundra, haul it to weigh-in, and show it off to the fans.
Biffle:It’s fun. There’s no entry fee. You’re guaranteed a paycheck. And again, it’s fun! There’s no pressure.
Q: How many hours did you tow your boat to get to Conroe?
Scroggins:16 hours from my house in Florida.
Bobby Lane:I came straight from B.A.S.S. Toyota All Star Week in Michigan. It took me 21 hours.
Biffle:Just short of 8 hours from my home in Wagoner, Oklahoma.
Q: Name three lures you predict will get used the most this weekend by TTBC anglers.
Scroggins: Deep crankbait, squarebill crankbaits and flippin jigs.
Bobby Lane:Mid-range crankbait, Shaky Head and an 8-10” worm.
Biffle:Deep crankbaits, flippin’ jigs and squarebill crankbaits.
Q: Of all the great country music concerts that will occur after weigh-in each day, which do you look most forward to?
Scroggins:Lee Brice and Thompson Square
Bobby Lane:Eli Young – my wife played me one of their songs as we drove to Michigan together last week.
Biffle:The Band Perry, Thompson Square and Eli Young. I’ve already paid to see them in concert around Tulsa, and I’m lookin’ forward to hearing them again here for free.
