First big lake tournament

[LittleRedFisherman]

Other than some Tuesday nighters in Cherokee village I’ve never fished many tourneys .  This winter my buddy Chad and I decided to try our hand on a winter  one being held in norfork last Saturday.  We’ve fished a few times there this winter and learned some stuff about the lake.  It seems there’s a lot of difference in a 2.5 and a 3 pounder there.  But apparently there’s alot of them.  We placed 6 out of 20 Saturday and there where some good local guys there so felt pretty good about our place on the board.   Have to admit it was fun and that extra adreline you get when you land a good one during a tornament feels good.   Not gonna fish every one they have or anything but will do it again sometime.  My buddy and I had a 5 fish limit of 11.6.   We had a main lake plan but when the north wind switched a lot of those areas was like fishing Great Lakes ha ha.   Figured out a new plan as we went it was fun.

Congrats Brett! Can't wait to see how you do on your next tourney! Or more so how your son does on his!
