Day one on Fork. It was super tough. One 5 bass limit weighed in. I got very lucky and am in the lead. At ten minutes till 2:00 I had one fish that weighed 1.39 lbs. I picked up a black bussbait and quickly caught an 8+ and an hour later long Mike netted a 10.51 for me. I only weighed in three fish but they totaled 21.09 lbs. second at this time is 10.01 lbs. Tommorrow is another day though. Will let everyone know the outcome Monday.

Thanks Long Mike for the great net work

Jack, AKA: fish for dollars

I wish it was mine. Fishfordollars caught it. I just netted it. Unfortunately, I had to net another over 8 for him a couple of hours earlierier. He also had a 5.85 on Friday. He has a choke hold on the field right now. Well see if he can hold on to it tommorrow. Second place is over 10 lbs. back. He has a midday black buzzbait bite going on and the fish are keyed in on it.

Way to go fishfordollars! Cheering for you here.

Way to go fishfordollars. That is awesome.

Way to go FFD and LongMike.  Great head start!

Goodluck tomm-ff15

I would comment but you have decided to not take the time to spell buzzbait correctly.

Nice fish guys..

Man, I opened this thread thinking it was about a trip to one of the many fine gentleman's clubs in Texas.

Huh I was going to tell y'all about my recent Toledo trip but way to go guys & continue to kick bass  

GO FFD!!!!!!!  

Good luck holding the lead!  Nice job on the net Mike  

Awesome FFD.  Keep taking them to school.

Congrats guys on some nice fish.

Well, I'm back, and well rested, from the Lake Fork outing.  I had the great opportunity of fishing with Jack (Fishfordollars) through the tournament weekend.  WOW! What a fisherman that man is!  He brought in BIG keepers when almost everyone else in his club was getting skunked.  Not surprisingly, he won the tournament and continues as the 2008 club leader.

To his great credit, Jack was very patient with a relative newbie like me and he taught me more than he will ever know.  I would be very pleased to fish and/or room with him anytime. Jack many thanks for your teaching, your patience and your hospitality.  I will not forget.

On a side note, the second place finisher in the tournament was a young fishing phenom by the name of Caleb Ramsey - age 13.  Folks, this kid is GOOD.  He just picked up sponsorship from Lake Fork Tackle.  I may have met the next KVD.
