Those weights are a pretty good sign of things being in transition. The first place tie was an odd deal, especially when one of the guys earned some big bass money. Would have thought that would make him the winner.

Is third place Champ 188?

Champ finished a respectable 34th.

I fished it. Ended up with 10lbs. Check line was 11 lbs. Lots of weights stacked in the 10-11lb range. Caught lots of fish and culled a lot. Just couldn't get the bigger bites. All of my fish were caught on the ned. Big thanks to Dave for the heads. They are great and work extremely well. Thanks Dave.

I finished 55th on the Co side. In 2.5 days I bet I caught 60 fish with only 1 keeper in practice and 2 during the tournament. There are a ton of 14.5" fish in this lake. I would also like to tell Dave thanks for the heads. They worked great. I caught 1 keeper on a tube and 1 on a baby brush hog and had a great time.

I caught zip. I am frustrated that I cannot catch a keeper on my home lake. Guess I need to put in more time and try to figure this pond out.

It's anything but easy right now, Dennis. Keepers are really tough to come by. It will get better. Soon. I like the post-spawn bite and am ready for it to start.

Champ are going to give us a tournament recap?.... We would like to hear what went down.

I fished it as well. This was my 2nd BFL event. I drew another class act Boater and had a fun day on the water. We caught lots of fish but very few keepers. I had a couple 14.5" smallmouth early and I also caught two 11" goggle eye early in the day, back to back, on the Ned, in the back of Cow Creek ramp cove. Later we started hitting main like gravel points and started hooking up with spots and smallmouth with the boat in 25' casting to the bank. Around 11, I switched to a PBJ ned from a green pumpkin/red flake on and on the first cast I hooked into a "get the net" fish. I fought her well and she came up twice and unfortunately came unbuttoned on the 2nd tail walk near the boat, just out of net reach.

After losing the keeper smallie, I got to the point where I just wanted to have fun so I picked up a 6" swimbait and started working it like a dying shad.

I finished 65th with a 2.6lb spot I caught on the corner of a main lake dock with the big swimbait. Had several large bass come up and inspect it and then fade back to the break line where it dropped from 4-8+ feet. We'd follow up those risers with a shakey head or Ned but no bites.

We had a boat ask to jump to the back of a cove to sight fish and we obliged. They spooked the biggest smallmouth I've ever seen right to us. Talk about an adrenaline rush! When she was three boat lengths away my boater said "look at the size of that Carp", then two boat lengths away... "that's no carp, holy S$%t" She cruised up to our boat and then headed deep to the mouth of the cove.

All in all, the tournament was very well ran and what a beautiful day on the water. We are blessed to have such a nice place to fish. Tight lines all!
