I am adding this post here as well as in the other thread. Fishing with friends is what life's all about. As always it was nice to see everyone from ctfisherman. I wish all tournaments were run as seamlessly as ctfisherman ones; they're a pleasure to fish. Congratulations to all who made a check yesterday. There were definitely some impressive bags weighed in. Art Rife and I weighed in just under 18lbs and someone (Dusty) said we finished around 10th. We finished in 6th; although with weights like that, I guess that 6th is pretty much like 10th. To quote the timeless words of great NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby "... always remember, if you ain't first, you're last ... “It was a tough day for us, catching only 7 keepers. Luckily we were able to cull out two, 2 pounders at the end of the day with a 3 and a 4. It made no difference in the end, but it felt good to catch a decent bag. We caught all our fish on a black, Andy's Jigs, 1/4oz rattling hair jig. I guess Art Singer is working with Andy on these jigs, so they're sure to be a smallie killer. Hopefully the weather is nice on Tuesday for the last day of open season. There were some places I didn't get to fish during the tournament that I'd like to go and fish for fun. I heard there were some giants caught there. Hey Dusty, maybe it's not the lake, but the Angler. Stick with me kid, I'll teach you a thing or two.
