<br /> There we wuz, to borrow a phase from Fat Albert, around 8am. I say around because since I arrived at the RiverPark at 8:02, I was considered late and caught some grief as a result. Since it was my boat, we played by MadBomber rules. That means that if you keep a fish on long enough to see it, it "scores". We started off up near the RR Bridge, caught a couple there, then headed Downtown. We spent a good bit of time fishing the Market St bridge with fair results. Fat Albert was really showing out today, DK was catching several also, and I was bringing up the rear. We then went down to the Bend with FA having 14, DK had 7 or 8 and I had 4. All this time we were using grub & minnow type jigs. I told them that play time was over and picked up my trusty 200 Bandit in TN Shad. We finished the day with MB coming back with the win with 35, FA came in second with 32, and DK brought up the rear with 14. I'm sure that me having the front end, FA having to pump the bilge every 10 minutes or so, and DK having to fish twice-fished water had nothing to do with it. DK will post some pictures later. My Digital Camera bit the dust in my house fire or I would have had a few. I did order a new Camera this morning.<br /> About the leaky boat problem. It turns out that the fitting through the transom for the live well overflow had developed a hole below the hose. I fixed it by putting a larger diameter hose on it that would go far enough over the fitting to cover the hole.<br /> I had a great time with my 2 Best Buds. I still can't believe we outfished DK. That doesn't happen very often. DK threatened to call Matt Majors and report FA for catching over his limit.
