dtrs5kprs Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Folks...just got off the phone with Darren Combs. Some of you may remember Darren and his son Dalton from the OA one bass derby at Table Rock back in March. Well as great as that 2nd place finish was, Dalton and his partner went and topped it over the weekend, winning the MO high school championship at Stockton. Other than passing on congratulations I am really just the photo monkey, helping out with getting pics up. Will let Dalton and his dad fill in as many details as they would like to. http://forums.ozarkanglers.com/uploads/monthly_06_2015/post-1467-0-28087400-1434510451.jpeg http://forums.ozarkanglers.com/uploads/monthly_06_2015/post-1467-0-48809900-1434510468.jpeg http://forums.ozarkanglers.com/uploads/monthly_06_2015/post-1467-0-12153100-1434510487.jpeg http://forums.ozarkanglers.com/uploads/monthly_06_2015/post-1467-0-38711400-1434510510.png http://forums.ozarkanglers.com/uploads/monthly_06_2015/post-1467-0-31377400-1434510523.jpeg Daryk Campbell Sr and zarraspook 2

Members darrencombs Posted June 18, 2015 Members Posted June 18, 2015 I am Dalton's father and I posted some of the details on the Table Rock forum and didn't know Dave put it over on the Stockton one as well. I first have to say I'm a pretty proud papa. Both of the these young men are freshman. They caught 25 keepers in the two day tournament. The first day they caught 16 but all we small and the same size. They had 8# and some change the first day. The second day started a lot slower and only caught three keeps by 10 o'clock. My son picked up a magnum finesse worm and threw it out. He missed one on the first cast and being a father I said you don't want to miss those. Well the very next cast he said there his is and set the hook. I could by the hook set that it was a good fish. It came out of the water and we all three started yelling. His partner netted the big girl and the celebration started. She weighed 6.50. They caught five more keepers after this fish to give them a total weigh of 13.20 for the day. A total of 21.99 for the two days. They barely edged out the second place team by .12 ounces. Pretty darn close. They fished the Ned rig most of the time with either a Canadian Crawl or dirt color. They used between the 1/8 and 3/16 head and yes we use Dave's jig heads. However, if he started getting bites on the rig he would through out a finesse trick worm or the magnum finesse worm. He found rather that shaking or hopping the shakey head they wanted it more drug on the bottom. Shakey head sizes were 3/16 or 1/4 on the magnum worm. We fished from Mutton Creek to the Dam area. He found most fish on rounded points or what I call do nothing points. We just couldn't find them on the steeper or bluff end points. Maybe we weren't out far enough. He set the boat in 20 'to 25' foot of water. The big girl was probably in about 10'. I sat in the boat Saturday for 9 hours and Sunday for 8. 17 hours of sitting in a boat and not fishing gets pretty darn tough, but to see him catch that big was well worth it. Dalton has fished in 5 HS tournament this year and has placed 1st, 3rd, 4th, 23rd, 26th. Most of these tournaments have 90 plus boats. The Teen Anglers is a great circuit for these young anglers. Don't we all wish they would have had this when we were in school. He has earned $6500 dollars this year in college scholarship which was split between him and his partners. Daryk Campbell Sr 1
