The Ohio River will Humble you

[lizardsrule]

Well last week, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I fished the Ohio river at Rocky Point, IN. We had a BFL tourney there Saturday, and my Boater and I prefished Thurs, and Fri. The temps were in the mid nineties or higher everyday, with humidity around 90 also. It was a HOT time fishing. Anyway We fished thursday from about 10am-4pm and my boater caught one 13" bass, and I didn't get a bite all day. We started friday at 5:30am, and fished till 1:30pm, and again my boater caught one 14" bass and I didn't get a bite. Now I'm just jumping up and down about the tourney for Saturday I was drawn boat # 111 out of a 118 boats , which meant a late takeoff, and a hotter day Anyway after about 1 hour my boater catches a 13 1/2" bass, but had fouled hooked it. So within five minutes it was already dead I finally got a bite, and landed a 10" bass This was about 12 pm when I caught my dink. My boater landed another bass, but was too small. I got one other bite, but it was your typical back seat thing. I was fishing a c-rig in the channel behind the boat, and dragging the bait along. Anyway just as I was starting to drag it, I got a tug, and at the same time the boater hits the trolling moter So no fish to the boat. I can't ever remeber fishing hard for 3 days straight only to get 2 bites, and only catch one dink Don't get me wrong I know it was tough, for everyone, but it can definately humble a guy Hope everyone else has been having better luck than me. Now I get to go about 30 minutes up the river to fish another tourney this Saturday, at Maysfield, KY YEAH BABY!!!
