Rounded up 6 tubers that wanted to fish Sunday morning. Anytime I get that many guys I'm figuring on a mini tournament to make things more interesting.

The format was $5 bucks each, winner takes all, for the largest single flattie, 24 inches or better.

The crew was made up of myself (bowlboy), my dad glenn, Mike (fishinmike5000), Don (donblaze420), Abel (?) and from down in Glendale, Brian (Calico Bass).

It was an interesting mix as we had Don, Abel and Mike all fishing live bait and me, Glenn and Brian throwing Big Hammers and cranks. It was also Brian's first time float tubing in the salt.

We all launched between 5:45 and 6:00 and us three artifical guys actually fished WSB for the first half hour or so, for no love. In general I would say that the fishing was pretty good for everyone.

I finised up with 10 shorts with 2 about 21.5.
Brian had 5 fish with 1 legal.

His first foat tube legal (released), way to go Brian. Check the scars on that sucker!

Glenn had only 2 fish but they were both legals!

His first float tube legals. Way to go Glenn!

Last time I checked with them Don had 14 fish with I think1 or 2 legals, but he didn't show up at the weigh in so I guess he didn't have a 24 incher.

Able last time I checked had 5 fish with at least 1 legal that I though was 24 but he didn't show at the weigh in either.

I guess neither of them had something that could contend with Mike's 27 incher! I believe he finshed up with 5 fish and 2 legals.

Live bait Vs. Artificals - The final tally

Live bait 24 fish with 5 legals (I think)
Artificals 17 fish with 3 legals

I'll stick with the plastic!
