Super User Bassn Blvd Posted March 19, 2011 Super User Posted March 19, 2011 Hawk (forum member) and I had our 1st night tournament of the season last night. Season runs from March 17th through September with 2 tournament a month, fishing from 6p-10p. There were 20 boats and we came in 3rd with 12.13 pounds . 1st place was 13.5 with an 8.1lb kicker : 2nd place was 13 even 3rd was us at 12.13 > 4th was 10. We were just 8 OUNCES out from first. And that was MY fault. I made a MAJOR rookie booboo. I got one up to the boat that went 2.5 - 3 pounds. I used my rod to lift her out of the water and into the boat (newbies, don't ever do that with a decent tournament fish) but the hook pulled just as her tail was clearing the water. Guess where the net was? That's right, I was standing on the handle. That fish cost us first place because our smallest weighed 1.64. We caught at least 20 bass, all on Senkos and Lake Fork Magic Shad swimbaits, except for one that I got on a spinnerbait. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 19, 2011 Global Moderator Posted March 19, 2011 Congrats on the tournament and don't feel bad about the fish. Everyone who has ever fished a tournament has that one fish that if I'd have done this or if I hadn't done this I/we would have won! I know I have my share of moments :. Quote
WanderLust Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Nice! At least your biggest fish didn't jump out of the live well, right before the weigh-in. That would be unmint. Quote
bassman31783 Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Great job guys. Sucks losing that fish but at least you still placed. Quote
Super User South FLA Posted March 20, 2011 Super User Posted March 20, 2011 Nice outing! Too bad you screwed up! Was the tourny on Lake Clark or Ida? Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted March 20, 2011 Author Super User Posted March 20, 2011 Nice outing! Too bad you screwed up! Was the tourny on Lake Clark or Ida? Tourny is out of Lake Osborne and you can fish anywhere you can get to by boat. Tourny's are every other Thursday from 6-10p. Entry is $40 per boat, 2 man team. Season last through September with classic in October and MAJOR cookout afterwards. We're talking T-bone and NY strips. Trophies and raffles. Quote
