Big Bass Tour

[m&m]

Alex, nice smallies.  From what I understand you and your dad were not alone regarding that big bite.  Timing the weigh-in for your fish is real guess work.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Twenty years ago I'd have bet anything of value I owned that this day would never come, but like some of you have said, I'm just not willing anymore to let the aggravation of competition ruin the fun of fishing.

I still have golf to raise my blood pressure and keep my therapist in business.

I was just like you Champ.  Never could get enough tourney fishing.  About 2 years ago gave it up.  I fish when I want to now and enjoy catching a 13 incher about as much as a good chunk.  I get my competitive fix now on the golf course.  $5 scrambles or a skins game.  I love it win I win $7, and net $2.  For me it is just the fun of competing.

I do the exact same thing down here in Bella Vista, Jerry. I play in a regular Friday group where we toss in $5 and play various formats. Satisfies my need for competition. Besides, I'm competing more against my inner dummy than anyone else when playing golf.

I am crazy competitive by nature but Golf is one thing that I wont put $$$ on.....you guys think my fishing is bad! The Big Bass is the only tourney I fish as I just dont have the time to dedicate for a tourney - getting away from work is a real challenge!

When I fish I usually am fishing against my self - what did I learn, what did I try that worked and didnt work - - what bait did I buy because I watched it work on TV and it wont work here!!! And why cant I catch a fish every 3-5 seconds like they do on MLF??

I envy you guys that can jump in the truck and be at the lake in an hour or so....maybe someday. 

By the way I forgot to color out the back ground where I caught my giant fish  so I dont want you guys sneaking into the back of Happy Hollow and catch him!  

Take care all
