Wheeler Tourney - 3/25/06

[Bprice]

My fraternity had our first bass tournament out of Flint Creek on Wheeler Lake Saturday. It was a really tough day of fishing. At 6 a.m. this morning it was a brisk 34 degrees and a stiff 10 mph wind, but none the less we were raring to go. We had 6 boats and one bank fishing team. Fishing was tough with the cold temperature, high winds, and the 182 boats that were fishing the BFL Tournament in Decatur. We did manage to catch a few nice fish and have a competitive weigh-in.

Big bass of the day went a buddy of mine with a 3 lb 13 oz Largemouth. He caught it on a Brush Hog on the Hwy 31 Causeway.

The real big fish of the day went to a team who after 15 minutes finally chased down and snagged a 20 lb Grass Carp.

Totals: 7 Largemouth Bass Caught - all 7 released alive

Winning bag was only 4 lbs 4 oz... but we had a great time.

Yeah no kidding... we had a good time, and I just saw that the BFL took 13 lbs to win...

Looks like you had a couple of good ones. I bet the grass carp was a blast.

Yeah there was a family fishing from the ramp there, and they asked if they could have it. I can't believe they'd eat that thing. Regardless, I hope it helped them if they needed it. I'll stick with Crappie

[Bprice]
