Bass Champs #1

Posted by ken on January 18, 2014

Tough tournament on us even though the results don't show it. We struggled all day, catching, well not a lot, and those that we catch are relatively small until Newberry picks up an A-rig and pulls it down a deep tree line. He starts with "there's one", moves a couple seconds later to "this may be a good one", to 'let's net this one". So I get down to get the net out of the floor, one problem, he's standing in it, then the fish wallows (I think that's a word), I'm bent over trying to get him to step out of the boat and when he sees the fish he goes up about 4 octaves to "big fish big fish big fish", couple of seconds and some pushing and shoving later we net a 10.76, amazing what that will do to for you in a 3 fish limit tournament. From zero to hero, big bass, 2 new Abu Garcia Revo's and a nice check for big bass and a nice check for 5th place finish!
