<br /> Rogie and I fished the Saturday open tournament out of the Dam...... There looked to be around 25 boats I don&#39;t know the exact number. We had a bad start to the day arriving an hour late for the tournament, start time got moved from 8am to 7am and I wasn&#39;t aware. Thanks to Teddy for letting us two fish anyway. We started fishing deeper schools w/ drpshot and swimbaits and caught a limit by 930am. From there we slowly culled up throughout the day w/ drpshots and Fish Head Spins. We caught around 15 keepers for the day and lost some really nice fish close to the net LOL. We ended the day finishing 2nd w/ 14.85 and BF of 4.65 (spot). 1st place had 16.20, 3rd had 13.38........ Rogie caught his biggest spot to date today w/ our BF of 4.65, he can catch em anywhere LOL. Below is Rogie w/ our biggest two spots of the day, both over 4lb. AND the daily Walleye, only this one was a big one we figured between 5-6lbs. Caught on Dropshot. I give it to my father in law, thats who&#39;s in the background. He doesn&#39;t ever turn down Walleye fillets LOL. <br /> <br />Hope everyone is planning on coming out next Saturday 14th. We&#39;re hoping to raise good funds for the MS foundation. Brad as usual has numerous sponsors and giveaways for the tx. Brad has new include Rogie Brown&#39;s Tennesse River Guide Service, S&amp;amp;K Sporting Goods, Coach&#39;s Custom Rods, and much more.
