Well....My bud (freetofish/Ron) and I fished our second tourny this weekend. We didn't fair very well, and can't figure out why. We were throwing the same baits that most everyone else was, but just wasn't in the right places I guess. We learn something every time we go out, and this weekend's lesson is that we need to move faster from place to place. We're spending too much time in each cove.
We didn't finish last, but we didn't do very well. The winning team weighed in over 30lb for 2 days. We weighed in a little over 7lb with 2 fish. Largemouth had to be 15 inch or more and Ron weighed in one on Saturday at 1.86lb. I weighed in nothing. We both caught a lot of fish...just all short in the 10-14 inch range.
On Sunday, I weighed in this beauty! A new personal best at 5.21lb.
I did learn on Sunday, unfortunately that we were allowed to keep Kentucky bass that were 12" or bigger. I didn't hear that in the morning meeting unfortunately. Ron swears that we didn't catch any Kentuckys, and I trust him completely......but since I don't know the difference I have small doubts in my head. Maybe, we did better than the results actually show??? Nothing can be done about it now other than we have to learn from out triumphs and our failures...I certainly have been humbled enough to learn from both.
But...all in all, I have a great time fishing with my buddy and that's what it's mostly about! Well, that and catching a 5.21lb LM. Did I mention that yet? :mrgreen:
