Wow, way to go Hanson! I'll bet you learned a ton while fishing that tourney.

Thanks Guys!!!

The win hasn't really sank in yet, thats for sure. I decided to become a co-angler 3 years ago for fun, learn a few things, and to see if I could really fish with those guys. Those questions were answered after my first tournament and it has been a phenomenal learning experience ever since.

This year has been a pretty disappointing year for me in regards to my finishes so far. But I've fished some incredible bodies of water (Lake Erie, Leech Lake, Green Bay, and now Oahe), learned a ton and have had a lot of fun along the way.

I was really bumming after the last tournament in Green Bay where I finished absolutely dead last. 141 boats and I took 141st place. frown That finish put me out of the running for qualifying for the Championship, not enough points.

My attitude coming into the Oahe tournament was along the lines of 'hey I'm not working, but going fishing on Oahe'. I was relaxed, ready to have fun, with no expectations whatsoever. Then we caught a 30" HOG on the 1st day of the tournament that put me in 3rd place. Very solid bag of fish on day 2 moved me up to 1st which paired me with Chase Parsons. And the rest is history. We were done early and back to the dock by 11am and let the waiting game begin.

There's some great info on FLW Outdoors HSOforum and this tournament will be aired on Versus network at some point in the future here. I can't wait to see what the show looks like.

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
