Best Bass Fishing Lakes This Weekend: Percy Priest, Harris Chain & Lake Hartwell Tournament Results

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, slingin' the latest buzz on bass chasin' across the US. If you're a fly rod diehard like me, picture this: those chunky largemouths hittin' like a bonefish on steroids, no finesse needed—just pure power pulls that'll make your 8-weight sing. Let's dive into the fresh action from this weekend. Kicked off with a bang at Percy Priest Lake in Tennessee. Mark Condron dominated the Phoenix Bass Fishing League event on April 11, haulin' in 19 pounds 4 ounces over five fat bass for $2,790. Michael Stout was right behind at 17 pounds 5 ounces, pockin' $1,330. Major League Fishing reports those fish were stackin' up deep, perfect for chuckin' big streamers if you swap the baitcaster for a fly setup. Down in Florida, the Harris Chain of Lakes lit up like a trophy run. Dylan Quilatan crushed it with a 34-pound 7-ounce limit—five pigs that pocketed him $4,590. Paul Vanzant took second at 23 pounds 4 ounces. MLF says the chain's grassy edges and hydrilla beds are firin' hot right now; drop a clouser minnow there, and you'll forget about trout for a day. Over at Lake Hartwell in South Carolina, the BFL weigh-in had anglers grinnin' ear-to-ear on April 11—check MLF for the full recap, but word is the shad spawn's pullin' bass shallow. And don't sleep on Kentucky Lake's Toyota Series Day 3 weigh-in same day; locals like that two-time BFL winner Morgan are lockin' in limits on the Tennessee River impoundment, where current breaks hold the hogs. Hot spots screamin' right now? Percy Priest for consistent 17-19 pound bags, Harris Chain if you want monster limits over 30 pounds, Hartwell for that Southeast bite, and Cherokee Lake hostin' the B.A.S.S. Nation event—Day 2 just launched, with Bassmaster Nation anglers blastin' off for more. MLF also dropped news on lower entry fees and bigger payouts for the 2026 Phoenix BFL season, makin' it easier for us locals to jump in. Meanwhile, chatter's buildin' on who'll snag the MLF Bass Pro Tour Redcrest on Table Rock Lake—YouTube anglers are debatin' it hot. Bass are on the move, water's warmin', and these catches prove it's prime time stateside. Thanks for tunin' in, y'all—come back next week for more.
