Well, Beaver kicked our butts again. We were in the first flight with a 6:00 a.m. start time (2:00 p.m. check-in). Had four in the box by 6:45 a.m.on a topwater and swimbait and only one K, which was a nice one. Never caught another keeper until an hour before weigh-in, then couldn't seal the deal with a limit (6). Put the five back in the lake and headed for home. Champ188's snoozing in the recliner and I'm ready for a nap, too. Hard work not catching fish.

Fished the Chamber tournament today as well. My first tourney ever and had a blast- although we only weighed two fish. We put in at Monte Ne at the 6 AM flight. Found a good top water bite and caught a nice fat 15 inch spot and a 19 inch black that was over 4 lbs....along with some shorts, a crappie, and a small striper.

The top water bite slowed a bit and we tried some other stuff and only caught a couplelre shorts. The other boat in our team stuck with the top water all day and got a limit....

Fun experience,I think I learned a little about the different mindset you need to fish a tournament. It was a beautiful day and a lot of fun. Can't wait to do it again. Lotta big fish at the weigh in. Was fun to see. Weighed in behind some guys who had an impressive 18 lb sack. 22 is even more impressive....

I fished the Chamber also. Same story as Champ. We had a limit by 10 o clock. 5 were on topwater. Funny thing is we culled twice and still only wieghed in 8.17 lbs. i thought we had more weight than that. I felt like an idiot cuz I told a few people we had around 10lbs. Had a great time and caught a bunch of fish.
