The Egg Came Before the Chicken

Posted by ken on September 25, 2017

The proverbial question of which came first, the chicken or the egg....well in the case of the FLW Costa Texoma tournament for me last week I laid the egg. Texoma has so regularly frustrated me, and this year was no different. Coming into the tournament I sat in 6th place for Angler of the Year and put in so much work. I had multiple piles out, and tons of practice time. But even then the bites continued to elude me even up through the official practice days. Honestly Texoma is a puzzle, that I simply cannot seem to solve. It appears, from reading and talking to buddies, that what I missed was really finding the bait fish, but again, puzzeled, one I'd like to forget, but one that just bugs the crap out of me. Upside is even with a massive stumble I had such a good early  year that I stayed inside the top 20, qualified for the championship on Kentucky lake here in a few weeks, and look forward to going somewhere where I have absolutely no history, so I can just go fishing.
