Bad news at the weigh-in

[Randy]

We had it wrapped up. My watch was showing 1:30 with the weigh-in at 2. One of our competitors approached us asking if we needed help to the ramp. I replied , no thanks just waiting on 2 o'clock so we can take home the cash and a big trophy. To our surprise, my watch had stopped and the time was really 3 o'clock. As we got to the ramp, just in time to weigh our fish before they took the scales away, we found out we had them covered by more than a pound. They had sent someone to help us. We would have won by more than a pound had we been on time. $1,100.00 and 2 NICE trophies slipped away from us. Needless to say, it was a long , quiet ride home. By the way, the watch is still at the bottom of Lake Arbuckle, as far from the ramp as I could throw it. One more small note. That win would have moved us into 3rd spot in the points race. Instead we finished in 6th. ONE SPOT OUT OF THE POINTS MONEY, TAMPA PRO BASS BLACK JACKETS, AND A COUPLE OF NICE WALL PLAQUES. Oh well, stuff like that just don't bother me.
