First tournament & finished in the money! JaSkynyrd (my son Rich, who didn't catch any fish) hit me with the blunt truth on the way home. He (somewhat) gently reminded me that "there was no skill involved" in me catching that one fish. He's right, it was pure luck, just like when my ticket was drawn for the Top Dawg Fishing Tackle gift certificate. AND, the boat started every time! WHAT A DAY! Caught it on a green-gold rattletrap about 10 ft down close to a rock wall.
