Time: 6PM-7:30PM Weather: 96 and windy. Winds 10-15MPH. H2O: Off color due to shallow water and heavy boat traffic/wind.
Well, went out to test the fishfinder and graph/check spots before the ABC tourney. Didn't fish too hard, couldn't graph well either thanks to pleasure boaters getting way too close.
I wanted to catch at least one fish before going home. Well, I did just that. Except it was a 6-6.5lber. : Could use her Saturday!
Here is a pic with background out a bit. Doesn't do her justice. I was close to the camera. She was a big fish.
We didn't go to weighin. :'( Chunked our keepers and went home early. We were tired of fighting more idiots then fish on the water and called it a day.
dude im telling ya we had a alright sack with a kicker about 5 pounds. we left early beacuse we put in at the dam and were going to trailer to weigh in and there was way to many people at the dam ramp so we road all the way to weigh in by boat about broke our backs just to miss the cut by a few ounces. some of them waves were just ridiculous we where in a 21 foot skeeter and it made us look like nothing flying in the air just crazy.
Yeah that ride was horrible. I hate the mindset of the big boaters. They expect us to move, when we are flying. Sucks... Got to learn to deal with them I guess.
We wanted to trailer but wouldn't have been able to with all the traffic
Woah... I said what I caught her on, never said where! Nice try Chris! ;D
Caught her on a 5/16oz V&M Finesse Jig Living Image with a V&M Baby Mud Bug as a trailer. 20ft of water under a dock. Deadsticked it and just shook it for a minute.

She put up an alright fight. Had to get her up quick before I snapped all my rods on boats because of the wind. Had no problem horsing her in though. She did make a few jumps at the boat almost landing in the kayak. ;D
thanks for the info man you know any up coming open tournys?
