Primetime and I along with Matthew and Kaylee headed out friday afternoon in search of bait. it was a bit tougher than we had hoped. We threw for it for several hours and finally gave up in hopes that we had enough to do some good.
After lines in Dad, Matthew and I pulled a full spread for about an hour before we put the first fish on board. A nice fish at 32.5 inches.
It was several hours and several moves later before we landed our second fish of the day. This fish was a little better at 33.5". That took a little pressure off knowing we had two fish in the boat.
The next fish came soon after and was no help at 29". He was also nice enough to tangle 3 rods on the way to the boat.
As I was cutting and repairing all the damage from that one we had another bait get hammered Matthew was quick to the rod and did a great job with the hook set and landing of a skinny 34" fish that helped our tournament.
With less than an hour left to fish another board got slammed and I grabbed the rod and the fight was on. Drag screaming as the fish headed for the trees. I tightened the drag some and managed to pull it back to the surface. I knew it was a good fish. We got it in the net and it turned out to be a my personal best a Beautiful 38" that tipped the scales at a little over 24 lbs.
After that fish we called it a day and headed to the check in. The last 2 fish made it a great tournament for us. We finished 2nd and won the big fish prize. Matthew also won the youth division.
Thanks to the Striper mafia guys for putting on another first class event. A big Thanks also to Primetime for Helping us out with everything!
