thats still a far cry better than taking first place and not being able to take home the prize...
I kinda got burnt on a bass tourny once, two man teams, $10 per team, and the rules said the bass had to be of leagle size and the tourny was timed. limit of 10 fish per team.
I was fishing out of a row boat with a 2.5 horse johnson against a dozen or so bass trackers.
we went out and covered less than one third of the lake and came in with 10 bass all ranging 2-3 pounds each. our weigh in was roughly 22.5 lbs. we timed our tour so we could get in 10 minutes early because we did not want to get thrown out for being late. We were the second boat in.
we had to wait for the last boat to come in half hour late and they allowed them to weigh in... I swear some one had to be radioing them the score so they could keep fishing untill they got bigger fish.
If I could have had that extra half hour I could have released a couple of the two pounders for a couple 3 pounders... that boat only beat us by a quarter of a pound...![[Image: icon_evil.gif]](http://cthuntnfish.com/images/smiles/icon_evil.gif)
any way congrats, 3rd place is not something to sneeze at....
