That is awesome! It must feel great! Last year, I was in second place for most of the year and won AOY at the last tournament. I felt great knowing I had consistency in fishing. It meant I was doing something right. Keep at it. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing. It is incredible how much work is required to be working well to make the first cast in these tournaments. What fishing rod? I have a vested interest... ;-)

I wonder if BLat could get a couple of invites for SUF members. That would be cool. SUF is in the fishing community and we probably buy stuff. I know my boat has way too much tackle.

Exactly! I was very tired, frustrated and irritated (island owner interaction) after a GREAT day on my favorite lake with a good bag of fish for that lake.

The jig did most of the work today. Along with neko and drop shot.

I had a great day, except for the overwhelming pleasure boat traffic. I ended the day with 13 lbs 15.6 ounces (4th place), and a guy who owns one of the islands with houses on it told me that he was going to "make it so that I could never get back on this lake if he sees me near his dock again!"
