Paul Elias flat killed the field on a A Rig.

4 day total for 102.8 and won by 17 lbs

Here is a pic of the  A Rig (Alabama Rig).  Crazy

Details on his setup:

 Gear Notes

> Alabama Rig gear: 7'11" heavy-action Pinnacle Perfecta Tournament Class
rod, Pinnacle Optimus Tournament Class casting reel (6.4:1 ratio), 65-pound Spiderwire Ultracast FluoroBraid line, Alabama Rig,
3/8-, 1/2- or 3/4-ounce jigheads with extra-strong Gamakatsu hooks 6/0 or
larger, five 5 1/2" Mann's HardNose, Strike King Shadalicious, Yum Money Minnow
or Basstrix paddle-tail swimbaits (Tennessee shad or a close proximity).

> He said the heavy rod, line and hooks were of extreme importance because
the bait setup sometimes weighed in excess of 5 ounces and there was always the
possibility of connecting with more than one good-sized fish on a single cast.
