Our day started off like it has the last few weeks. No super plan, just flipping and pitching in coves, hoping for the best. Our first stop yielded a skinny 16 incher. Moved to our second spot and put 4 more keepers in the boat including 2 that were 3lbs . Later on in the day Lance puts a 4lber in the boat, so we got to cull one our fish. Then I decided to try my shot at sight fishing for spawners. Didn't really worki out. Only found a couple that were really locked on the bed. I did talk one of the girls into biting , and had her hooked well. Lance had the net ready.....and she pulled off !!! emoBang We needed this fish ( even though she was probably only a 4lber) , so we waited on her to come back and she did right away and within 5 minutes I had her hooked again....only to pull off again !!!!emoEnforce We ended up leaving her alone after that. Never could upgrade again. Weighed in 15.02 and good for 9th place and a check, but had I got my head out of my A** and got the 4lber in she would have culled a 2.02 lber and we would have made the top 5 easily. Regardless we had a good time and it felt good to win a little money again. It was a well ran tournament !
