This weekend we had a club tournament on the Potomac nothing big only 12 guys but I got my first win and I'm pretty pleased because this was only my 3rd tournament. I caught 3 on frogs in the morning and filled my limit and got a nice cull on senkos later in the day. On the down side I'm sure I could have had at least a fifteen pound bag but I lost a ton of fish. 2 because I pulled the frog away from them, 2 got off the frog after they'd been on for a few seconds but that's the downside of froggin. Then I had one about 2.5 shake my senko, and I lost what probably would have been the biggest fish of my life due to poor equipment selection. I was fishing the senkos in thick weeds on a medium spinning rod with 12 pound mono when I set the hook on a monster. He came toward me for a second then ripped drag back into the weeds and I kept steady pressure but couldn't horse him out a few seconds later my line went dead. I was sick about losing that one. Other than the weight i left in the water it was a good day because I still ended up winning with 10.62 pounds.

Congrats on the win

Congrats on the win

x2.

Regarding equipment, I caught my PB this past spring on a MH Falcon Original/ STX-L with 40 lb. Sufix Performance braid combo. At one point when the fish had me stuck in the weeds, I thumbed the spool and pulled like I was trying to pull stumps out of the ground. My other rod had 12 mono. Don't think I would have landed the fish with that.

right on!

Congrats.

We launched from smallwood too about 5:30 and reported back at 2:00. I caught my frog fish in that cove across from the launch my boater called "marsh island" and the rest at the mouth of Aquia.

Awesome! Congrats on the win.

Nice work, our club got pushed to launch at 8am, fished until 4
