Doghouse and myself fished a tournament Saturday at Lake Horton. We had already decided before the tournament we were going to go for broke and fish swimbaits all day. Fishing was slow and I did pick up a worm for a few minutes but when that gave us nothing I picked the swimbait rod back up. By around noon Doghouse had put around six fish in the boat on a swimbait and I had done a good job of netting fish. : We needed a kicker fish and I saw nothing but small fish swiming around in shallow water so we went deep and started fishing for fish suspened in standing timber and bushes in fifteen feet of water with a Mattlures Bluegill. It wasn't long until I had the fish in the photo on the way to the boat and Doghouse had to finally pick up the net. ;D It weighed over eight pounds and gave us over twenty pounds for the win and big fish. Second was around sixteen pounds and third was around fifteen pounds.

Thats what im talking 'bout... GOOD WORK!
