Raystown Lake Tournament 9/13/09

I had a tournament on Raystown Lake in Huntingdon,PA on Sunday for my first ever tournament on Raystown. I used my knowledge gained from my first ever trip to Raystown (see my previous post) in order to catch a few fish. The fish weren't biting like they were a couple weeks ago when i was there but that didnt stop me from pushing and fishing hard to get a fish in the livewell. I worked a no wake zone for the first part of the morning near snyders run but to no avail... so I told my buddy Tyler that we were gonna make a run for the area right before Seven Points Marina. I told him not to let me stop until we got there.

When we got there, there was a team already fishing on the shallow point in the weeds but that was ok.. all my fish before came just down from there. So we were workin that area throwing a wacky rigged GreenPumkin Senko. after a little bit i had a real nice hit and i could see the fish take off with it.. I was pitching into about 12 feet of water that was about 10 feet infront of the boat. Well i swung and rolled the first fish. probably 30 feet down from there i swung and missed another nice one... so i hurried up and put the rod down and threw in a Watermelon Red Senko texas rigged with a 1/8 oz tungsten weight on it.. that thing no sooner hit bottom and WAM! that fish took off with it.. i set the hook and my net man netted it smooth as silk.. here is a picture of it

That ended up being the only keeper i caught all the day but i learned if you miss a fish, to not give up on it because i didnt give up and ended up with a 2.22lb Largemouth and 6th place in the club tourney...
Catch ya later
