Tough Fishing

[Seth]

The fishing was pretty tough this past weekend with the dirty falling water. Bell Chutes and Jerome had tourneys this weekend. A few guys lucked in to a few nice fish and ran away with them, but over all the weights were way down and it doesn't sound like many fish were caught. I did catch a 5# channel cat on a chatterbait Saturday. When it hit, I caught a small flash of white and just knew I had hooked a monster largemouth! After about 30 seconds of pulling, it got tired and I could feel those slow heavy head kicks and knew right away what I had. My buddy won the tournament that day with 12 pounds. They said fishing was tough for them also, but his partner got lucky and caught a 4.79 largemouth and a 3.5 pound smallmouth. They would have gotten first with just those two fish alone.

Got to try the Gasconade sometime! I'm thinking of trying a tournament on the Current river, never done one, but sounds fun!

Try one sometime. They are a lot of fun and it will make you a better fishermen. It's really helped me in the few years I have started doing them.
