Congratulations to Richy and his team on a big win! You guys are on a roll this year! That was an awesome 19+ lb’r too…talk about a “kicker” fish…
Great job to all of the top finishers on a tough day.
Man, we are on the tournament YO-YO this year…either finishing really strong or struggling to find decent fish. We started out great with 3 in the boat within the first hour…but Brad and I couldn’t find that elusive 4th keeper…just shorts…but we fished hard, had fun and were not at work, so that’s always nice. Got to keep it in perspective. The tournament “pressure” can ruin an otherwise good time, so don’t let it! 
Tight lines!!

Thanks Billy! Luck was on our side Saturday. Take the big fish out of the equation and we have the same fish as everbody else.

Richy I could tell by looking at your face that you had a surprise for us at the weigh-in, and what a surprise it was! Beautiful fish! Congratsto you and your team on the winning!

We are half way through the race…I’m hoping for some debris on the track to bring the leaders closer to the pack…lol. At some point my team is going to need to call in some other teams on a hot bite to try and get some “places” between us and other contenders. If any team is willing to come help us when we find a monster bite, please let us know…lol. Pretty weird strategy but it may be necessary…

If you’ve had fun catching fish on the transom bait, you are welcome…
I’ve spent about 85% of my life’s wages on fishing, the rest I just wasted…
Hey Woody…I think I have heard of that strategy before from our 6 or 6 or 7 (lost count) AOTY Team Catchall…lol!
“My biggest worry is that my wife (when I’m dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it.”
You know he don’t miss a trick…lol It’s sound strategy and good for the club when you help others catch a few big fish. I guess it can backfire on you too if they catch bigger fish than you have but worth a try if you catch big fish early…
