Well tonight was another Accellent dogfight on Nick. We put in at Sullivans and fished from 4-8. We had 4 boats and 8 fisherman so not a bad turnout for a little work tourny. Sandskeeter, AlvinC and mkilgo fished so CFF had half the field. Alvin and I fished together as usual. We went up river to get our 5 spots which will be our plan for all of our dogfights. We just feel the spots will over time win out on the largemouths due to us almost always being able to get 5 keeper spots. We hit our first for sure hole and got a goose egg. Our second for sure hole was the ticket. Alvin taged a nice 2lb spot and followed it up with another keeper spot on a lizard. Our next keeper was a 4lb 10oz largemouth caught by yours truely on a small spinnerbait. The fish would have been 6 or better has she not been spawned out. After that we managed a few more keeper spots on pig n jig and spinnerbait. We only boated 12 bass today and lost 2. A far cry from yesterday's 63. We ended up winning wth just under 11lbs. Jimmy and Rodney came in second with 5 spots at around 7.5lbs. mkilgo had one keeper largemouth and I never saw sandskeeter pull a fish out. Better go upriver next time skeeter.emoPoke

It was a cool day but we had a blast. I enjoy getting with the guys outside of work and having a little fun.

Oh yeah. I lost my personal best drum tonight. Probably in the 20lb range and I lost it while I was trying to get the grippers in its mouth. Took my lucky spinner bait with it. emoDoh

That is a loooong largemouth, Mr. Whiskers! Definitely a 6 or better a month ago.

Yep. Length wise this is the largest bass I have ever caugth. Water temp today was around 61-62. Early last week it was 66-67. I was surprised the lm spawned this soon but this girl sure did. The unusual thing was I caught this one and one more 13" lm in a place were we don't catch lm's. Not sure why these two fish were there this year and not the last 3 years. Maybe the lm's are making a comeback with the grass starting to grow up river.
 
Michael I would have guesed 63 bass would have got you into the HOF! If you fished for 3hrs. That would be better than a fish every three minutes!
 
Way to go guys on your win. I like those little Txs like that becuase even if you are in last place you can say you got forth!emoBigsmile Jmax
 
There wasnt a long period of time that we didnt have a fish on. We had several doubles also . Hey congrats on the big largemouth Mr.whiskers emoToast

The punch line was the 63 had a total weight of 35 lbs.emoLaugh emoLaugh emoLaugh
