LOL Don't listen to Del... if timed right yes the actions great...if timed bad it's a dead sea. 09 tourney only yeilded 1 fish in the net pre fishing but every boat saw at least 2-3 fish. Think we saw a dozen over the 2 days we were there. 2010 a bit different we only saw 3 but landed 2 of them, total take for the tourney day I think was 13 fish with 1 boat getting 3 and 2-3 others having doubles including Del and I for 2nd place.

So how did the tournament go at Pleasant Creek go this year?? ( i was busy cleaning Miss. river slime out of a trailer)

Never mind!!

"Tough bite, we saw 19 fish only managed a 45 1/2" in the net on Sat pre fishing. Should have had 2 in the tourney, partner missed one right off the bat and I had one inhale a Wabull but nothing there when I swung on her. 1 fish caught in the tourney a 48" by a good friend of mine."
