Year end report...here goes

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Year end report...here goes

Post by Christian Gervais »

For me it was my best year to date. Did not go as much on the water (anyways, that's what my wife told me so I guess I'm still on the safe side).

Practice started early.
Image

The boat hit the water on may 4th this year.
Image

One of my first bass of the year caught on a Spro BBZ-1 hard swimbait.

Image

Caught this one in practice but did not want to cooperate on tournament day.

Image

Concerning my tournament season, I didn't do too well in the opens that I participated in or the one tournament on Franny I did with OVSB. But on my regular trail (Ultrabass Outaouais), we did 3 top ten's out of 4 tournaments which gave us 10th place for TOY. And at the Classic, we finished in 10th position after being in 3rd after the first day.

And then fall came around...what a nice time. It was football time!

Image

Image

Image

Image

My personal best smallie at 5.4lbs

Image

Image

My biggest 5 bass bag ever with my wife (21lbs). The top right fish is a 2.8lbs bass (did not count in our top 5).
Image

And now it is time to relax and get ready for the upcoming season.

Time to store the gear...

You have really made a big leap in the local bass fishing scene Christian. Looking forward to seeing what 2016 has I store for ya. You really figured out those Francis smallmouth quicker than most!
