Mafia tournament 11-11-17

[KB]

First off I want to thank all the veterans for all that you do and have done so that we have the ability to fish in tournaments like this. This tournament was a little different for me as my wife was able to fish with me so it was a team of my oldest daughter Harleigh and my wife Krissie and myself. We caught bait Friday night and had a nice number of dollar bills and a few money makers. Woke up Saturday morning and day started out tuff from the trailer brakes being frozen, then plug for boat was frozen so had the UN freeze that to install plug. Then trolling motor was frozen as well. Looked at my wife and said ( this isn't the way to start) haha. Got to our fishing spot around 6:45a.m and was ready for a cold day. Ran 6 boards and to light lines and a float. Caught first fish around 8a.m and that felt great to get first fish out of the way a nice 32.5" . About an hour later back rod went off and wife grabbed set hook great and then caught ice and down she went, I grabbed rod from her but it was to late fish cut us off on prop. There was silence on the boat for about 10 mins knowing that that would be our second fish. Around 11a.m we had another try and landed biggest for the day a nice 33" fish. My wife and daughter definitely stuck it out with me and I couldn't be any more proud. Caught 2 more fish that we're 31" and 30". Missed 3 so all and all a great day. Called it quits around 2 to go warm up and get boat cleaned up. Went to check in to see a great number of people making boxes and filling them with goods to send to our troops. Gave a hand with that. For all those that helped also thanks for all the hands. Ate some great chili. This was a great food item for a cold day. Ended up getting 5th place this being the best we have finished to date. Thank you to the Mike and and the mafia for another well ran tournament. And a big congratulations to all the other teams that placed and for all others that stuck it out on a cold day. Will try to post more pictures but at moment Tapatalk will only allow this one
