fished a team tourn. at eufaula with my son corry. my daughter-in-law didnt understand the whole fishing thing, i had told her that if corry and i pre-fished we would win and have big bass, well she went for it. tourn. day we drew the bull horn (which means you take off last) in the smallest boat in the field. we went about a mile and the boat died, so we just started fishing. we put 3 keepers in the livewell pretty quick. 1 was a nice female another was a small male, after a little while it went belly up but was still breathing we decided it was lovesick for the female so we put them together,sure enough he turned right side up and was fine. i lifted the back deck lid and saw that the gas tank vent cap was closed, so that fixed the motor problem. as the day went by we couldnt catch another keeper, with about 20minutes left we had time for 1 more spot on the way in. well corry caught 1 as i was trying to get a crankbait rod out from under a dozen other rods. then i caught # 5. we got to weighin with about a minute to spare. another problem arose, corry's big bass and mine looked the same size so out came the balance beam, mine barely weighed more so we went with it for big bass. we won and had big bass ! for a day that had so many mishaps it sure turned out good.
thanks to my daughter-in-law julie for putting up with me. and thanks to my son corry for another great memory
