Got to have an awesome long weekend with my dad and nephew! It was cool to have 3 generations in the same boat. It was his first time fishing from a boat. Caught a lot of different species. Once he picked up and figured out the ned, he never put it down. His first cast was a 30” Northern Pike. Of course I had to flex with a 20” 4.8lb smallmoufth.

Question on use of Chaos app. I’m fairly new to using it. When you have a submission declined due to wrong species identified. Is there a way to edit that submission to correct or does it need to be resubmitted? I was just feeling good I got the picture of that flipper flopper, and identified wrong species of Bass. 😂

Baits : Charlie Brewer slider head with a finesse speed worm and Texas rigged zoom curly tail worm in June bug.
Top water : Berkley 110 drifter
A lot of small ones and but hey they are scoreable fish.

Okeechobee Tournament Results: It was a brutal day for everyone as the lake and weather didn't cooperate. Water temps were between 94 and 97. I had make a strategic decision after a couple hours of silence that payed off. I used an old school technique of finding: 1. Big concrete structure 2. Wind blown area that fed water directly from the main lake to a canal with a depth of 10-15 feet. 3. See a pattern of waiting for the drive by fish instead of chasing them. 4. Keep my boat and co-angler safe from a maze of hazards. = We fished the rim canal gated spillways. This was the second time in a row that my boat won not only the Big Bag, but also the Biggest Fish. When it mattered the most it came down to what Brian says all the time. Make the right decisions, use common sense, and don't over complicate things. 😉

On the board with a couple decent fish this morning on Lanier. Mainly on the drop shot today (brush pile and one off the bank) and a few smaller ones on the IMA skimmer. Heat showed up and the jet skis so got off early afternoon. Good ole Lanier weekend chaos!
