The past 2 tournament results

Hey guys, my Brother and I have been fishing in these great weekend tournaments lately. They are every two weeks at the Occoquan Reservoir and man are they a blast. The reservoir has a 10hp limit so everyone has decked out jon boats. Its a team tournament and each boat can weigh 6 fish. Our 1st we only caught 5 at 8.62lbs and one of our fish that was around a pound and a half died on us >. We finished out 21st place out of about 40.

The 2nd tournament we did better, catching a limit. We had 12.98 and I had a nice 4.13lb. The big bass of the tourney was 4.9. Big difference, but I think I was 2nd or 3rd biggest . We finished 15th out of about 42 boats in the last one. It was a blast. Here are some pics of the past 2.

This is our 1st tournament

2nd

Sure we may not win for a long time because these guys REALLY know what they are doing, last year there was a 27 pound bag! They are such a blast though, and I'd rather "pay to play" than sit and watch. The money is the last thing on my mind.

Sounds good man.  I haven't been up to Occoquan in a few weeks.  Last time I was there I had a solid 5 pounder on, about 4 feet from my boat before he made a run under and the hook popped out.  I was pretty mad.  I got two good looks at him and he was a nice one for sure.  Got him off a shallow running crank.  Caught a few others, biggest 2 pounds.  Was wondering if you knew what was working best now, I plan on getting up there this Friday hopefully if nothing else comes up.  I'm sure the water is pretty warm, last I was there it was in the 80s.  But any general help on what the fish have been doing up there lately is appreciated.  Good luck
