Super User Bassn Blvd Posted May 13, 2011 Super User Posted May 13, 2011 I am so stoked right now that I have to do a little bragging. "Hawk" called to tell me he couldn't fish the night tournament, 6p-10p, due to an emergency. I was feeling kind of bummed because he and I are in 4th place for the season, which ends in September, and it's a team trail. 24 teams showed up for the tournament and I was the only one fishing alone, putting me at a huge disadvantage. I fished the same hundred yard stretch all night and absolutely slayed'em. In fact, I stopped fishing at 9:10 and went back to the boat ramp to relax, knowing dang well I had this tournament in the bag. I figured I had about 18-19 pounds of fish (5 fish limit), but as it turned out, I was off a little bit with my calculation. I had 22.13 pounds with 3 fish over 5 pounds, 5.14, 5.11, 5.1 and took 1st place. 2nd place had 17 pounds. As if 1st wasn't enough, I also had big fish. The only bad thing though was 3 of us tied for big fish at 5.14 . (I still can't figure out how that happened). Man what a night! Oh yea, get this. I only had 6 hits ALL night and managed to boat 5 of them. The 6th one wrapped me around a sprinkler pipe. Like I say, "KVD ain't got nothing on ME!" Equipment used; Loomis NRX 893 Lews Tornament Pro #10 Yozuri GY Senkos Quote

Super User slonezp Posted May 14, 2011 Super User Posted May 14, 2011 WTG! I'm a little confused though. 3 way tie for big bass? Did you have to divide the pot 3 ways? The way our club does it is big bass wins a big bag tie and big bag wins a big bass tie. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted May 14, 2011 Author Super User Posted May 14, 2011 It's 40 bucks per boat. 5 bucks out of the 40 is put into the big bass pot. We had 24 boats. 24x5= 120. 3 of us had a bass that weighed 5.14. 120/3= 40 bucks apiece. The remaining 35 dollars goes into the main pot. We pay one place for every five boats. I took 1st place, which was $260. 260+40= 300. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted May 14, 2011 Super User Posted May 14, 2011 That sucks. You got jacked out of $80. Quote
