I am really enjoying fishing with Corey. She has come a long way this year from a concentration standpoint and she tries all day -- even in the 100+ degree temps we had Saturday. Her mental state was positive the whole time and she never gave up. I was the one who finally caved and told her were going in. She still has not mastered the hookset and lost 2 fish on the way to the boat and missed at least 8 bites but she did catch one that we weighed in and kept a smile on her face all the way thru weigh in. Her casts are getting further and further each trip and I know it will only get better from here. We did not have a stellar day only landing 11 fish I believe and weighing in a small limit (good for $100 BPS gift card ). We were stuck with either dinks or slots. Did not matter if I was in 22' or 6', they were all simply the wrong fish. Here is my biggest slot for the day: She is definately earning her stripes. She woke up at 3:00am with me and stayed awake the whole time till after we got home and had dinner -- then she went to bed and crashed. I look forward to fishing the championship with her if we made it and seeing how she handles a 2 day event. Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish

I have more than enough Hendrix Rods... I was on the Elite Team for almost 2 years and I did his website for some time. I traded him website work for rods and I also got my rods at a really low price. Believe me, I would not have as many were it not for the arrangement I had with him. I stepped off the Hendrix team last year for personal reasons. Great rods and I have no complaints about them, just would have never spent the money because I am a cheap SOB. Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish

A three pound diff between the fish on the left and the one from Saturday. Heck, a green fish is a green fish... They all look the same. Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish

Completely understandable Les, I think I fished way too many tournaments this year and it has taken a toll. Thank goodness my girls fished a few tournaments with me or else I would have never spent any time in the boat with them this year. Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish

Burn out is not hard to do when you fish Fork alot that freaking place is a mad house anymore and its really is getting to me. I thought I would just limit my fishing to Fork this year but the crowds have taking so much of the fun outta fishing for me. I may get back to fishing a circuit next year with different lakes... I really did enjoy the weekend series? OzzieFish "Glory to GOD in the Highest" www.visionlure.com www.doublezzcustomlures.com

Oz you need to fish the weekend series...... IBC(past and present) members have led the way in many events over the past few years. Not many tournaments turn a 200.00 entry fee into 5,000.00, plus the Triton bonus could take you over 13,000.00. |
