Tournament mayhem

[KB]

Figured id post a report and vent a little to you guys. Started out the week of the tournament. My team and i did very well with catching bait in evenings and stocking up on the big girls for tournament. Placed them in bait cage. Thursday came down and re tied all leader and found all but 6 bait were dead in cage. So we knew we would be catching bait friday after work. Got off work feeling sick and went to captians meeting felt like i was rude to people bc i would talk mich bc i knew i jad a long night of catching bait. Caught bait and was back at dock at around midnight. Went home soaking wet and sick. Woke up 3:30am headed down and was setting out at 440am. Got staged up and ancored aroumd 5. Wanted to make sure we got there first haha. This was my daughters first mafia tournament and well as a dad i didnt make sure she was dressed warm enough for that morning. It was a long 2 hours setting. Lines in had action right away and boated a 30.5 inch fish. We all were grinning ear to ear. Looked like it was goin to be a great day. After about an hour ran into the fleet and when i say fleet i mean 12 boats were it's hard enough to run 2 boats lol. Had my planner boards wiped out and into a fellow striper fishermans prop. Then had another guy cut me off inside bank again. Decided it was time to move. Landed a 4 pound green fish. Thought about drawing stripes on him ha. Was feeling real sick but my team stuck in there and picked up slack and my daughter did fantastic. Called it quits at 3pm . Headed to the check in and had great conversation with some good freinds, seajay,r22,jason and his team,primetime,chf,and others im forgetting. Harleigh won 3rd in youth division witch was fantastic. Congrats to all the youth that was out there alot more from last year. Great job mafia mike, tyler,nathen and others who helped. Decided yesterday to run a spread for 2 hours same place we fished tournament and caught bait in 2 throws and landed a 33incher and 32 incher. Just our luck lol haha. Besides boards wiped out and bait dieing and feeling rough a great turn out of fishermen and my team did great pulling all of it together.

I heard somebody boards got knocked out. It was crazy on the bw side as well. Myself and seajay had the same idea on where to start at day light. Only us 2 were in there. Won't long after we got started I think it was 9 in there when I left.

Tough break on the bait man, and the boards! But I commend you on sticking it out, it was good seeing you guys over the weekend and great fish yesterday, our morning started off with a bang like that too, and I was thinking it was gonna be on all morning, which I was blessed with a second fish.

KB.. Anyone who has talked to you for 1 second knows the last thing you are is rude. We all deserve the right not to chat when we don't feel like chatting.

See you soon!

and anyone that has talked with KB knows that him not talking much is still a pretty good conversation

My last 2 trips after being seen catching a fish I have had several boats move in and cut me off. I know there's little room for everybody to set out a spread but find your own fish......please!!!! There is no respect anymore. I long for the old days where fellow fishermen gave room.
