Saturday: I had to coach my son's football game so i did not arrive at the dock until 11:30 but partner went ahead and took my boat. He had nothing to show when I arrived so the day was off to a bad start. He did say he lost a 3 lb fish, which made things worse. The day was one of lost fish after i arrived we lost 3 more fish that would go over 3 lbs and my personal worst moment was a 5-6 lb fish that came off for no reason at the boat. I PITCHED A BEETLESPIN TYPE FIT! If we landed what we hooked we would have at a 17 lb bag easy. Instead we sctrached out a 7.45 lb limit that left us 3 lbs out of the lead. We got lucky and scratched out some schooling fish to fill our limit and caught one 3 lber to top off the 7 lbs.

Feeling quite confident about at least seeing some big fish I went out of a limb, for no other reason the try to get in everyone's head, i predicted 15 lbs for sunday!

Sunday: The first 3 spots we stopped we did not even get a bite! I was sure i jinxed us by running my mouth! Made the decision to go down to a rock pile where we filled our limit but this time really had to work for them.
Threw a C rig for over 2 hours to get a tiny limit of spots that might have weighed 5 lbs. At noon, knowing it was tough and knowing we had to gamble and that we had a limit, we decided to go try for a few big fish.

The planets lined up and the big fish stayed buttoned, flipping a meat head worm was about all they would bite. I hate throwing small stuff. but it worked. Culled 9 fish.

PREDICTION 15 LBS- FINAL TOTAL 14.95

Talk about getting lucky and running your mouth at the right time!

Won the tournament with 22 lbs in two days.

there is no doubt about it.... the only reason you all caught the fish was due to the Beetlespin FIT.... LOL It will help sometimes..... you scared the fish ...emoPoke
 
Actually fishheadspin is a pretty darned good fisherman. I am glad i wasnt there to see the fit as he usually stays calm and collected. Fit pitching is my job. I think he named that meathead worm after himself though.
 
Congrats on the win FHSPIN!

My partner and I BOMBED this weekend! We had 2 LM and 2 spots on day 1 for 7.85#. And on Sunday we had 5 spots for 7.10#, and a whopping grand total of 14.95# for the two days. We just caught a fish here and there and had trouble putting together a pattern. We had fun hanging out with all of the MidSouth boys this weekend, and getting our arms ripped by the feisty spots that live in that lake. We caught our 9 keeprs on jigs, c-rigs, and t-rigs, and one on a jerkbait. All were in fairly shallow water around docks or rip-rap.
