Outstanding!! So when are you going pro? What was the winning weight? 14lbs. and some change won it in the veterans tournament on Saturday.
14 lbs 9 oz won, second was 13 lbs 1 oz then 3rd thru 5th were bunched up in the 11 lb and change area. Big bass was 5 lbs then we got second big bass with a 3 lb 9 oz largemouth that I caught, we had a smallie that was real close to that mark too that one of my partners Ben caught. We caught all of our fish casting or pitching a texas rigged sweet beaver/rodent to deeper weeds, concentrated in the 9-11 foot depths near the river channel. The winning team was in the same area but throwing wacky rigged 4” stick baits. At one point I looked around to see Zona a 100 yards to the west, Timmy Horton about 50 yards to the North, the winning team about 50 yards to the East and JVD another 50 yards past them to the East. It was a great day just meeting and fishing with so many great anglers(have to admit though I almost pissed myself when I pulled in the parking lot and saw KVD’s, Stricker’s, Zona’s, JVD’s and Randy Vandam’s boats all sitting there and Jerry McInnis, Greg Mangus, Micheal Simonton and Gerald Gostnick all standing around Zona’s boat.)
