Took home the winner's purse!!!! 8-)

As you can tell by my post count and previous posts, I haven't been back into fishing but a few months. Well, some of the guys at work decided we're going to have a little bass tournament last night. Entry fee was $40 per boat. Winnings were 2nd place: Entry Fee Refund, 1st place: Whatever's left. Last night we had 7 boats show up. We cut loose at about 6:30PM and weigh-in was 1AM. Me and my partner had our 5 bass limit before midnight....but we were kinda concerned, as the sizes were keepers, but barely. Only 3 teams caught their limit. Our 5 fish bag took 1st place @ 7.1lbs with 1 spot and 4 LMs and 2nd went 6.8lbs. We also took the "biggest fish" bonus which doesn't pay out quite yet. We're discussing starting a company exclusive fishing club with a points system and all the other jazz. We're gonna start the actual "season" in January and fish through Sept. Probably the 1st weekend of every month. The summer months will all be night tournaments. I'm pretty excited about finally getting involved with something like this. I'm sure it's a lot of fun.

Anyway, just wanted to "brag" about my little payday!!!!

Thats the whole idea! You went fishin' and came home with more money than you went with! Small club tournaments are a blast!

Shoot outs have always been my favorite type of tournaments; we'll get 10 or more boats $50 per boat winner take all but with one difference we fish from 7:00 pm to 9:00 am.
