Thanks John.
Got my 3 flipping a double wide beaver in Cal 420 into the tules. I never felt a single fish eat the bait. I'd just flip into an outer edge gap/cove into the tules and let the bait settle to the bottom. When I picked it up, there'd be a fish there.
Hopefully it won't be another 3 years before I win another one. Winning is good. Even a turkey shoot. :D

1st- 3 fish / 8 lb 14 oz.
2nd- 1 fish / 1 lb 11 oz. (I think)
3rd - donut
