We had a good day catching but could not find size today. We put about 30 bass in the boat with 10 keepers. We had 3 keeper spots and 7 keeper LM but none were even 16 inches. 
Most of ours came from the 24 to 28 foot range and most on a drop shot. We started fishing fairly shallow but only managed one doing that on a shakey head. Moved to the main river and caught the first keeper on a crank with another that was a slick. Saw some fish on the graph and started catching them on a drop shot. Put three in the live well and culled twice. Knew we needed some better size so we moved to the wolf and only managed one slick in there. emoScratch It was dead in the wolf. Moved back out to the river and tried another area that even had more slicks then the first. Boated a couple more keepers there on a drop but never could find any big bite. Moved once more and again culled but only an oz or two. Ended up with 6.40 lbs which was seventh and first out of the money. emoRolleyes Did receive the alternate prize of a $20.00 reel cleaning certificate.<br /><br />Had a good day just no size for us. Enjoyed the tournament, congrats to the winners and thanks for putting them on. emoThumbsup Jmax
