This month we talk about fishing Lake St. Clair in May with last year's May Madness Champion, Travis Bender.  Travis worked hard to put together a solid program which ended up paying big time on the day of the event.  By utilizing technology and remaining flexible to changing lake conditions, Travis won the event and caught a 31" giant walleye which propelled him into the number 1 spot.
