Welcome back to another episode on the Serious Angler Podcast Network! Today, we are joined by the 2026 Gamakatsu Bassmaster Elite Series Champion, Jacob Foutz, fresh off his incredible victory on the Arkansas River. Jacob weighed in 72 lbs, 4 oz to take home his first blue trophy, and he is here to break down exactly how he secured the win.

In this interview, Jacob reveals his secrets for locating bigger-than-average pre-spawn and spawning bass when the rest of the field is stuck picking through post-spawn fish. We dive deep into his winning pattern up the Illinois River, the crucial role of finding cooler water temperatures, and how he utilized Garmin Perspective Mode in shallow water to target isolated gravel and rock.
