Chip Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Today, My wife called at lunch and told me that our township was hosting a 5:00 PM fishing tourny as one of the events kicking off the festivities for the July 4 holiday.... We live in a neat little "MAYBERRY" type town... Well I left work 45 minutes later and was on the way home to get ready. There was a great turn out. We had 45 boats on a 2500 acre lake. I could not find anyone to fish with me, so I headed down and certainly felt out-classed by all the club fisherman there..... Anyhoo, I fished until 8:30 and headed for the weigh in.... Here yah go...My tripod was my back seater: I ended up with 10 pounds 6 ounces!!! and I caught 16 Larrys during the 3.5 hours. The closest fella behind me had 4 fish for 5.3 pounds... Talk about feeling KING OF THE LAKE!!! Anyway, I got a donated BPS Johnny Morris Bait Caster and Rod, hat, shirt, picture for newspaper, and a free lake pass for this lake's 2005 season (worth 50$). Not to shabby! Not bad on the rod cuz I broke the rod tip on my first fish. I stepped on it getting the fish in the well. Aw and I was using: Pumpkin 5 in. Senko, 5 in White Kanami "Senko", and one of my rattling cranks (a Smokey Joel colored 8 foot diver). Yall Take Care! Happy July 4th!
