Finally Placed
Well it's been a long time coming. Fished the weekly local tourney and finally got a third place finish. This tourney has been a disaster for me. When I do good something usually goes wrong. When I do bad, it's chaotic. One night 9 fish, all legal. Took the best 5 about 10-11 pounds, the storm started and never quit. Got to the dock and one of the locals says " With weather like this we usually call it a wash and carry everything over to next week." So like a dummy, threw out the fish. Another guy drives up and says " Slow night, probably got 4-5 pounds to weigh". He won. So now I will not listen to anyone but the guy running things. So this week, kinda slow....... Caught one 18 1/2 inches, another at 24 inches and 3rd at 23 inches, got last one on the way in 15 inches. Was pretty stoked on the way in. Got beat on big bass- guy had a hawg, he also won with 14 pounds, 2nd place was 12 and change, 3rd 12 and change- actually .4 oz below 2nd. Wasn't a win but 3rd was better than nothing. No money because of small turnout, but hey braggin rights are okay also. Did this in 2 1/2 hours. Thought about it later, should have used these as my entry here.

Congrats, and never throw fish back until they are weighed no matter what anyone says.

Just check your area baitshops and lakes for any info. This tourney is just a little local one, usually 10-20 boats- sometimes as few as 5-7. Its a start, gets you into the timed portion of fishing.
