So after a half a day of calling people and trying to get a coangler for the buddy tournament at Sayers, my college roommate, Paul Coble, said he would go with me. Boy did we ever have a good time. There were 12 boats entered in the tournament and we blasted off 12th. Everyone else in the tourney decided to go up the lake but Paul and I decided to go to an area right by Hunters Run that has always produced a fish for me. And guess what.... it did again! about twenty minutes into the tournament i landed a solid 2 lb largemouth on a watermelon red baby brush hog... it swallowed the hook a little bit and was bleeding so i threw it in the livewell and added a cap full of 'Please Release Me'. That stuff does the trick as the bleeding stopped and the fish was fine the rest of the tourney.
Around 7 i landed my second keeper of the evening around some artificial structure. Again i used a baby brush hog and had my 2nd 2 pound largemouth of the day. right before dark i landed another one that i thought was going to be legal but i measured it and it ended up being 1/16th of an inch short. So in all we weighed to fish for exactly 4.00lbs and finished 5th in the tourney. we were so close to being in the money but we had a good time fishing together and learned aot about night fishing.
my next tournament is on August 22nd on the Allegheney River at the Templeton Launch. Ive never been there and know nothing about it so it could be a tough time but should be fun regardless!
