Started cff #4 off by running up river 19 miles . Cold and spitting rain seems like every time Stephen and I fish a tournament it's like that. We didn't get a bite at first three stops flipping shallow so forth spot was ledge out in middle of the river. We probably would still be catching fish there but after twenty we decided to move to up grade size. Went back to flipping shallow and finally found a big fish and we had same fish on twice and it came off both times. That's bed fishing alot of times they don't eat it good . We caught about fifty or sixty fish between two and three pounds on jigs and crankbaits just not any big bites other than the smart one we couldn't put in boat . Hats off to Pete with a really good bag of fish at a tough time of year . Hopefully soon these fish will get off banks so they can quit getting beat to death. Congrats to all others in money. We just missed with 9.92 come in forth one place out of the money, but we did keep one of the spots that was a 2.59 to win big spot. See everyone back at chickamauga in May.
