great fishing J, Ive never fished a tourney but sounds like fun

They're a lot of fun, been doing it since 1984 and still enjoy... The one yesterday was bigger than I thought it would be, seemed two. Pubs were having an open tournament on the same lake at the same time and they combined them.... Went from a 15-20 boat field too 41 boats.... If I was aware of that I'd of probably passed on it and just took the daughter down too the river.... But we still had a good time....

Last time I took the boat up we were in 5 foot rollers...not bad. It started getting worse and getting through the slot sucked. 8 foot cross chop...the wife was PISSED. Lol

Great catch BTW. I REALLY wanna get on the Lake for some smallies this year. Haven't been in 3 years.

After a decent night sleep, couple of advils and a early morning fishing trip too a local lake for a couple of hours this morning.... Gave the boat a once over, trolling motor needed mount bolts retorqued.... Motor mounts retorqued.... Inspected mounts and jack plate for any cracks.... That was a relief there were none.... But noticed a couple of stress cracks on some of the radius' on the transom which shows the pounding it took on that lake yesterday.... Nothing too bad bit I'll keep an eye on them too see if they get any worse.....

Have seen newer boats with way worse then these lol... That lake will abuse you and your equipment....

No keepers today but a nice quiet morning with very few boats out.... May be hitting the river in the morning and head up into PA too visit some smallies I haven't seen for a while lol....

Fished a tournement out of Steubenville this morning, took first as well as big bass... Total 11.95 lbs with a 4.75 small mouth for the big bass... Great day for my buddy Shuan and I.... Lots of fish caught and we even quit an hour and a half early and towed a buddy back too the ramp when his boat died and then his batteries for the trolling motor went nipples skyward.... Lol great day too be on the mighty Ohio!!!!!
