OA One Bass Tournament March 23, Eagle Rock

[rps]

I am back home from a marvelous event. Thank you Phil, thank you Jeff, thank you Duane (or is it Dwayne?) and thanks to all who contributed.

It was a tough day for fishing. 3.2 won it and 1.8 was second. I did catch a legal fish, but I have seen cigars that were larger around. I threw it back and did not weigh. I am still barred from touching the trophy.

Great time guys and gal. Let's do it again next year.

Good to see you again Randy, and we'll definitely do it again.  Thanks for that smoked bologna, never knew it could taste so good.

I'll post some pics tomorrow when I have some time.

Congrats to Kbilb on yet another win!

I had two keepers today and I’m not sure combined they would have won. It was great meeting everyone today. Good group of folk on this forum!

Well, I can report success.  I lived up to the tournament's name.  I was an OAF member who caught 1 Bass.  Nothing else.  I rode in @dblades boat.  He knows many spots, and caught a number of bass, a white bass( fake news), a walleye, and a crappie.  He tried to get me to catch.  I just didn't have it.  I still had a great time.  

Due to the less than stellar forecast, and weather, I decided to come home this evening, instead of fishing Roaring River tomorrow.    

Bonus points: I didn't fall into the water.  

The food was great, grilled salmon, smoke bologna, cucumber salad,  and more.  I took home someone's groceries.   LOL.  

Thanks everyone, I'm looking forward to next year.   Congrats to the winner who hasn't posted yet.  I will not steal the thunder.

Pretty fish.

Well here is this years winner (again) Kbilb.  He won it with a 3.2.  I think he should change his moniker to KVD-bilb as he is dominating this like KVD dominated BASS.

 

 

Fishing was a bit on the slow side, especially for keepers.  Heard numbers of fish caught ranging from 20 to 4 per boat.  Rock Crawler, Shaky head, and Ned were some of the baits Iheard mentioned.

Phil and Bill put together an impressive bag fishing the Float-N-Fly, you'd have to ask them for details on how they were doing it.

Thanks to all who brought food & drink, thanks to M&M for getting the permits, and I am sure Christian Action Ministries appreciates the donations!
