Title: Broke off the winning fish today
Post by: davidhoheisel on June 06, 2010, 07:21:58 PM
My partner and i fished a open at Alum today. The fish are done spawning so we went to the points. I caught a nice 2 lb smallie and my partner caught 2 2lb largemouth. We went to a point that has producecd in the past. Second cast i get bit. Set the hook and played a big 3 to 4 lb largemouth half way to the boat and my 12 pound test breaks. We finished with 6lbs and 4th place. First place was just over 8lbs with 5 fish. That fish cost us first and second big bass pot for $850. Oh well, Maybe next time.

Must be nice to only need 8 lbs to win. Most of the tournaments over here, i.e. Portage, Berlin, Deer Creek, etc. you need over 10 lbs to get a paycheck. Too bad about the broken line. I can relate, happened to me at Leesville several years back. It was a tough day, launch delayed due to thunderstorms and lightning, clouds disappeared and sun came out on a dead calm lake. There were over 30 boats and only 3 weighed in fish. Each boat had a 12 or 13 inch bass, and i lost a 4 or 5 pounder in the last hour 1/2 way back to the boat. Now I check my line after every fish and every time I get snagged, some say I'm obsessed, but I'm never losing another event like that!
