I had a highschool tournament this morning and had a very rough day. I was getting some BIG hits on a black and yellow spro frog early but could not get them to the boat. My dad told me to use braid on that frog or I would miss them. I guess he was right. I missed one about 4-5 lbs this morning. She come to the top and shook my frog. I hooked two or three more fish anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 lbs and lost them all. I finally swapped to braid but the morning bit was over and the fish weren't hitting topwater any longer. I missed a 3lb and 2lb fish on a KVD caffeine shad. I had caught only 4 1-2lb fish and I was feeling the sickness in my stomach. Nevertheless, I never gave up and right at the end of the day, caught this nice 6.3 lb bass on a Zoom watermelon candy red lizard on a tree bordering a creek channel. I did win the tournament with only 10 lbs even but wish that I wouldn't have missed those big fish this morning. I would have liked to have had about a 20 lb sack to show off but all in all, had a nice day fishing and atleast the lord gave me this big mama to show off.

Very nice and WTG!

Yea I guess so. He sure rubbed it in my face too. Sometimes I do my own thing but I gotta remember that he's the one that taught me everything I know.
