Well we got on a few fish today, finally! Not enough to make the top 21 cut for day three, but enough to jump from 64th place to 34th out of 160 boats. It was an absolute grind and we spent 6 hours on the point we found fish on yesterday for all but one of our keepers. Remember the 3lb smallmouth I posted a photo of from practice? That's her in my left hand. Same cove, same part of the laydown, and the same mark on her nose. Tuesday she ate a pit boss, today she ate a TRD. Our other four keepers were on a rocky point in 15-25FOW. A 3.3" swing impact fat on a 3/16oz football head on a lift/drop retrieve accounted for 3 of them, and we caught one of them on a ned rig. Our day two total was 12lbs even, bringing our total weight to 18-5. I caught the last keeper today with 15 minutes to go, that stuff is too darn exciting.

 

Learned a LOT this week!

Nice looking smallies ~ 

So you guys posted a top 34th finish where you bested 126 other teams.

Hard to call that a loss really.

Good Job & Congrats

WTG.  You guys make a good team & a force to be reckoned with.  Congrats.

Well done! I figured Cherokee was fishing pretty tough now, it has really come up.

Job well done....that had to be an exciting tourney.  I have a small one up there in a couple weeks and am looking forward to it.
