Derek and I have fished a couple Monday nighters but so has Derek and Chase. Derek told me Chase wanted to go so I decided to just go solo. It was suppose to be just a three fish dogfight format but due to complaints Bob made it a five fish tournament at the last minute. emoBang I think with the cold front and drop in temps the bite that has been slowly coming on just about completely shut off. High winds, waves, low temps and blue bird sky made for another tough tournament. I started with a frog and drowned one for a couple hours, one short and one keeper was all I could get. Switched to a spook on the edge and only had two more shorts. Went to a worm fishing grass edges and had four bites. Two I completely missed and two I loaded up the rod only to have them come off after just a couple turns of the reel. emoDoh One of those was a big one and I sure needed it. Went back to the frog with time running out and finally managed one more keeper.
I was not sure if I really wanted to make the run back over to Chester since I had come across this morning from HBSP. Called Derek and he told me as bad as it had been I should. He said he only had to small keepers. I told him mine would go 4 and a half, he told me that was heavier then his two. Made the run back over to Chester. Got there and it was as tough as I had thought. Only a couple had a limit and it dropped off really fast. I left my two keepers in my boat to see if it was going to be worth weighing them. To my surprise Derek was in fifth with his two weighing less then four pounds. emoEek I told Bob I was going to go get mine. emoBigsmile Mine weighed 4.75 and I knocked Derek out of the money. emoEvil That will be the last time he talks me into weighing my fish. emoLaugh Ended on an up note, two small keepers and $150.00. I will take that. emoDance Jmax
