Slow night. I had found a little school of fish last Thursday night so went there first and threw small shaky heads and got limit before dark. Stayed there and picked at those fish with all the usual lures until 11 with no upgrades. I really thought we would get a good one there at or after dark. Pulled off and ran stuff hoping for big LM bite with no success. At one point i got my SB hung up and didn’t check my knot after freeing it up. Next cast, in some slack water, a hard thump on the fall, set hook, and snap lol. I usually check knots Regularly, especially after hang ups, but at 1am i guess it slipped my mind.

Congrats to winners. And committee for Doing all the work.

Fishing at night is the worst time to have to retie , me I can't see without my glasses and I'm to vain to wear them . I'm glad everyone was safe.

I’m the same way. I have reading glasses in the boat, but fight putting them on lol.

I meant to give the BoatUS guy a shout out as well for loading Dusty, Ronnie, & Frank in our boats so that we could avoid the ceremonial pleasure boat / pontoon boat struggles at the ramp and dock. I think we would still be sitting there if not for him being a taxi....

Man, that’s 2 tournaments in a row where you broke your line on the hookset. Not like you.
