[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Hello Fellow Big Fishers![/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]My tardiness in updating you is because I left after my tournament in Lewisville to help my parents with the remodeling of their home. They are moving shortly so my brothers, sisters and I pooled our knowledge of foundation leveling, plumbing, electrical and interior design to fix up their new home! Since I am the youngest of twelve children, we had quite a bit of knowledge available! [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]The Lewisville tournament was an educational fishing experience. The fishing was really tough with the winner weighing in approximately 21 pounds for a 3 day tournament with a five fish limit. The biggest bass caught was just over 5 pounds.[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]My first day out, my boater and I fished marinas and long rows of tires. This was somewhat tough fishing for a co-angler because you are fishing the same places immediately behind another fisherman. I changed up my strategy often trying to pick up bass but they just weren’t where I was. I did catch the first fish of the day…a 1 pound sand bass! I didn’t get so much as a bump the entire rest of the day! [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]My second day out, my boater and I caught a lot of bass but none of them measured 14 inches for either of us. I caught 4 bass that were approximately 12-13 inches. We saw a ton of poisonous snakes which I found out we were BOTH scared of! I pull out 5 foot long chicken snakes out of my chicken hutches every day….but water moccasins are a different story! [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3] [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]All in all I still had fun even though I didn’t weigh in fish. I did get a big round of applause when my boat took off though! I had a lot of supporters both at the tournament and here at Big Fish Tackle. THANK YOU SO MUCH! The next tournament is in North Carolina in July. My traveling there is not definite but I will keep you posted when I know for sure![/size][/font]
