Tell Me About Your First Tournament!
My first tournament I was bank fishing with an aerated cooler as a live well, lol. 90 degrees out and didn't get bit until an hour left in the day, working a frog on a weed edge and got back to back blow ups, landed one of the fish, a 1lb 13oz largemouth. That was the only fish I weighed in and still finished 3rd out of 10 anglers. Winning bag was 6lb 13oz. Was a tough day for everyone

Suffix 832 Braid Ghost?
It's very easy to see under water, with that being said it is a good braid, I frog with #50. In hesitant to use straight braid for anything but frogs unless I'm using very dirty water.
