Smallest 5 fish limit... TO WIN a tournament

[TODDY]

After reading the largest limit post I thought it would be interesting to see some stats on this.

What sparked the thought was that it happened to me last weekend on a west metro lake. Small group of 8 (2 person) boats. Everyone brought in 5 fish but the largest bag was a whopping 7 lb 5 oz. I caught over 60 fish that day myself but nothing over 2 lb 2 oz. The largest fish caught was 2 lb 7.5 oz.

Didn't KVD set an Elite series record on the Patomic a few years back?

No, you're probably thinking about the Classic when it was in Pittsburg on the Three Rivers. KVD won that one. The Potomac has milfoil and big largemouth. I was lucky enough to get a little tour from a local when I bought my boat in Virginia. Too bad I didn't have time to wet a line. It looked good, even in late December!

I fished USA Bassin a few years back and my partner and I won a tourney on Big Marine with some thing like 5.47 pounds on a 5 fish bag. I remember it was crazy windy and post cold front. Terrible fishing conditions. 5 little 12 inchers were good enough to win that one. We were very suprised to learn that everyone including us struggled that day.

5.47... I can't compete with that. I won a tournament on Prior Lake in 2008 with just over 7lbs. That lake has been horrible to me the past several years. I had to buy a bump board that measure in centimeters instead of inches.
