Wasnt the best day for me and Tom but we had fun or atleast I did I cannot answer for him. We started out on some rip-rap banks casting some cranks and nothing Tom started throwing a shakey head and landed our first fish of the day but it was a short fish. Kept pushing on and decided to make a move and change banks an so we went along and I started pitching a jig and caught my first fish and sure enough it was short also. Again kept pushing on and then I started casting a jerk bait and got hit a few times and then WHAM hooked up and she came right to the boat nearly full speed and Tom grabed the net and she threw the jerk estimated 5+. Kept throwing the Jerk and wham another bite fought great but to my broken heart it eas about a three to four pound catfish that just inhaled that jerk bait. we decided to move after a few more hours of nothing. Fished a creek and watched to guys pull up in front of us about 75-100 yards away and it wasnt 10 mins later they catch a great one and culled. Fished in there for awhile and nothing but some missed strikes. Made one more move to a cove with docks and started piching lizzards and WOW WHAM I hook a huge fish but wait it was a ten to twelve pound drum. Got me excited I told Tom there will be some BASS in here. next dock first pitch WHAM finally a keeper a 3.10 keeper. All in all no more keepers but a few more fish. Cant wait to fish another Grants tournament they are fun and done right not saying that anyother tournament isnt I just really enjoyed theirs.
