Todays tournament was 730 blast off, 1130 weigh in. I was paird with a High school club angler and a Middle school kid who had very little fishing experience. I rigged up a rod for him with a Wacky rig because if you cannot catch them on a wacky, you should give up fishing, at least here in Florida.
730 to 930 we were a solid top 5, then the gator came in and killed our spot, only picked up a few after that, fell to 14th. Winning bag was 41 pounds, Captain for them has been fishing this lake for years and had knowledge that I did not.
We ended the morning with 14 fish, biggest was a 3.78, caught by our middle schooler, Made my day, and his parents were so thankful, made me a winner for the day.
And now the crazy, my club member caught a 5 foot gator and I caught, Get ready for this one Brian Latimer, almost 1 3/4 Crappie, On a SMH with a 6 inch stick bait in 4 ft of water. Shaky head for the win for sure.
