Tournament Talk. Fished the third leg of the Big Pond Brawl series this morning. The original plan was to run 23mi up to Milwaukee but after getting out of the harbor, that plan changed in a quick hurry. I decided to start where I was Tuesday morning in 60fow out of Racine. It wasn’t for the lack of marking fish but none wanted to cooperate for the first hour in a half. After working north Nate, Bob and I started picking away at them. Bite numbers were good but landing average was not. We had well over a dozen bites and landed 6 of them with one being the biggest king of the season tipping the scales at 24.78lbs that cracked a wire diver with a flasher fly, which Bob did an excellent job reeling in. Thank goodness for the double extension on my @fishusa salmon net as the fly pulled as it hit the net. It was truly sickening the amount of 10+lb kings we missed. Just 3 would have secured a win. But out of 5 fish we had 58lbs which put us in 13 or 14th place. The big one was good enough to secure big fish of the tournament. If my calculations are right, Walter has nudged me into second place for the small boat series 258 to 252. Needless to say we’re going to need a high placing at the final to make a run at the title. #fishusa #plinefishing #1g #strikerbrands #rapala #beckmannets #shimano #simmsfishing #skeeter #yamaha #garmin #ramtrucks #teamdreamweaver
