Joe right on man for tyour first win and great report. I had just turned to look down the barrier when I saw you set the hook on that fish. I then continued toiwatch you bring it in. That fish didi fly out of the water.

So did I not only forget the scale, Doug Tyler was handing me money last when I was getting my boat and stuff ready. I told him to put the money in my seat.A few minutes later after putting the boat in the water and helping Noah do the same I came back to lock my truck and shut the doors. A long story shortI forgot to put Dougs name on the list. With that being said I owe the guys in the money more money. Todd I have already told you and rob you as well. So Joe for your first win I shorted you $11 and Mario I owe you a total of 7$ more $2 for 4th and $5 for big fish.

My quick report goes a little like this. I lost at least a 3lb plus on a blade around 8 right before the tide changed on the meat wall. After that iI just could not get that out of my head. I just plain out fished horrible missing bite after bite on whatever I was throwing. The frog i had 2 shortly after pull my frog down where I could feel them pulling,would swing and set the hook for nothing. Its a good thing I had 3 in the box before that blade fish I lost. I also threw about a 1.25 - 1.5lb type fish back in the water cause when I landed the fish it was already bleeding. (lesson learned there). Well right around 12:45 before I watched Joe land his fish I had a 4lb plus hooked realed in and ready to net. I went to go net it and the net stopped short and got stuck in the weeds. I turned the fish to bring it to the net and off went the hook. Well that sucked, but the fish actually swam straight into my net and the net was still stuck in the weeds and I could not pull it out fast enough. I turned and looked at Noah and Nate all I could do was laugh. What a day, lost good fish, forgot the scale and shorted the guys in the money a little money. SORRY GUYS

Looking forward to seeing a bunch of you out at Beacon. Mel"'s puts on a gret tourny. I have been fishing there event for the last 6 years and it keeps getting better.
