 Knepp, 45, was fishing Grand Lake for the first time, and he said it “set up perfectly for what I like to do.”

“Junk fishing,” said Knepp, who works for the U.S. Navy. “I caught a lot of fish shallow on topwater baits. I caught some offshore in 6 to 8 feet of water, and I made some crucial culls late today that made the difference.”

Knepp threw a Citrus Shad Rapala crank bait for his biggest bites on Grand. He caught two key bass (including the one that earned him a podium finish at the championship) at Sailboat Bridge, located near Wolf Creek Park where take-offs and weigh-ins were held this week. 

“I had a limit when I got to the bridge, but I culled three times there,” he said. “I probably gained 3 or 4 pounds … And now, the Bassmaster Classic. It’s been a lifelong dream, and it’s for real right now.”

Jacob earned $14,000 for finishing second and Knepp netted $13,000. The Top 40 boaters won cash prizes, splitting a purse of $121,500 among them.
