Well we got out on the water about 6, and it was well before daylight so I tied on a spinnerbait. First fish was a 2.5 and the second was a 6.14(new personal best). We culled our first fish at 7:30 and had around 16lbs, culled again around 11:00 up to about 18 lbs. After that we went looking for some bed fish we located earlier in the week but there were boats all over them so we went back to a 4 foot grass bed near where we started and at 2 culled up to what we thought was 20 lbs. Weigh in started at 3 and closed at 3:30 so we were still fishing till about 3:15. My wife called and said 15 was winning, I told her not for long we are on our way. We weighed in 19.67 and big fish 6.14. Held first place by 4 lbs prize was $1600. My friend from Arkansas was second and had never been on the lake before. I ended up missing big fish by .3 which would have been another $400.
Baits were talon spinnerbait in whiter chart. Mardi gras colored Trick worm rigged Texas weightless. Basicaly I just dead sticked the worm for 20-30 seconds and if no bites reeled it in and threw again.
Pic will come later, I'm posting from my iPhone now.
