Wow what a day! This was by far the best tournament day we have had. We were on the boat or should I say ice rink at 5:30. The whole boat was covered in ice from bait catching.
Anyone up for a gizzard flavored snow cone?
Lines in at 6:30 the boards started getting hit as soon as they were out. We had our first two fish by 6:45. Both were too small to place in the tournament though.
Soon we were on fish again. But these fish were closer to what we were looking for.
We continued to upgrade as the day went on.
Then it happened. Our 11th fish of the day turned out to be a 39.5" 24lb cow.
It was a fantastic day we ended up with 12 stripers landed several misses and short strikes. It was a very exciting day. Then it got even better at the check in. Great food and fellowship fallowed by winning 1st, big fish, and 1st in the youth division.
Congrats to team PrimeTime, Squidhound, Claytor Kings, and NightKrawler. For there great finishes. What a fantastic turnout for a great tournament. Thanks to the Striper Mafia for hosting these events.
On a side note my tournament is a great example of why catch photo release is so important to striper fishing tournaments. We upgraded our two fish 8 times. If we had been culling like they do in bass tournaments there would be lots of dead striper floating in the lake today.
