Treble in the hand is never good, and it immediately makes you very aware of where those hooks are in future catches, at least it did for me.

I head out tomorrow morning to paractice for a tournament on my favorite lake. Two nights of camping. Practice tomorrow afternoon and Friday for a Saturday Tournament. Last year, I weighed 16 lbs (picture); I am hoping for that again this year... Fingers crossed - send me some luck!

For me, those are the days when you sometimes learn the most. I want those days in practice. Then I know where and what not to do.

If you're considering participating in more online tournaments, it's essential to understand each tournament's specific rules. Here’s a clear example of fish placement from one of the more restrictive online tournaments: "All fish are to be photographed on the measuring board, facing left, with the mouth COMPLETELY CLOSED, nose touching the bump piece, with the Event Code and measurement CLEARLY VISIBLE in the photo. If you feel the need to use your hand to secure the fish on the board, be sure that your hand does not cover any part of the fishes gill plate or extend past the end of the lower or upper dorsal fins"

More importantly - Have Fun! Learn a little more about bass fishing and these online tournaments are a blast. It is my favorite tournament style because there is pressure and it is more than one day so you will find a day that suits your style. 

Mack Toon I am stuck at 97.50 - maybe I can find a couple of fish bigger than 19" before the end of the month.

Congrats, I get migraines from time to time. Stay hydrated and try to identify if there is anything you do (happening to you) or eat that triggers the headaches.
