Super User gardnerjigman Posted September 4, 2015 Super User Posted September 4, 2015 Well Bluebasser86 and I scraped out a win last night at our usual Thursday night jackpot tournaments. We fished a local lake that usually produces pretty well so we figured 12-15lbs would be a must. Usually we have 6-8 boats participate but this week we had 10. To our surprise the fish weren't cooperating like we had planned. We thought it was going to start out great as blue hit 3 fish on his big head wobbler (bladed jig) in about 15 minutes. We really started getting excited when I flipped my craw in a matted up mess of water willows and stuck this little lady. After that we really had to grind it out. Isolated water willow mats were key. Blue actually flipped a pit boss in one, got bit and had the pit boss robbed. I flipped in immediately after, got bit, and managed to stick the fish with the pit boss still in his mouth! We went to the ramp with our heads down thinking we probably would finish middle of the pack, but to our surprise everyone seemed to struggle. We ended up winning with 9lbs 12oz, winning by nearly 3lbs and taking big bass. Here is the one I stuck taking big bass. Photo makes her look bigger than she is, but she was a very healthy 3lbs 2oz and only 17.5" long. 5 Quote

Super User gardnerjigman Posted September 4, 2015 Author Super User Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks! It felt good after the beating we took last week. Fished another local lake that doesn't usually produce all that well. 6-8lbs is usually all it takes there. We had just under 12lbs knowing we had it won. Got to the ramp to find it took almost 17lbs.... Oh well, we have been blessed with a pretty good tournament streak this year. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 5, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 5, 2015 Not that there was many highlights (and it was too dark to get my 1 decent fish I caught all night on camera), but the few good fish we caught we really had to grind for. I caught 6 fish all night (3 shorts under 12", 2 14oz fish, and a 2lb 3oz bass 20 minutes before weigh in), and I think Coty caught 4 or 5 but he got the right bites thankfully. 1 Quote
