Mississppi lake tournament WIN!
Well fall has arrived and for me this means giant largies on the jig!
with blast off at 8am it meant i was able to sleep in a bit
on the water and pitching a jig on one of my favorite spots on the lake I felt that BONK... nothing beats that jig bite! wail the hook into her and within a couple of heart pounding seconds there is a near 6 pounder in the boat
not very often you can start your day off with a fish of this caliber I WAS PUMPED!
Trying to stay somewhat calm and keep it together I start flipping again a couple swing and misses, a 2 pounder and a 3 pound smallie I get that big bite again....
BONK! the loomis is bent right in half again and I see a giant bucket mouth coming to me again im thinking to myself "there is no way this is happening again"
yup into the net and into the box a nice healthy 5.2 pound LARGO
now were thinking to ourselves we need ONE MORE BIG BITE
and with my partner slow rolling a spinner bait over the weed tops i hear the unmistakable sound of a swinging rod tip and line tightening up through the guides!
I knew this was the bite we needed!
out of nowhere this giant Canadian football comes flying out of the water and back in
yup this is it! got her into the net and in the box is a 4 pound smallie
this was just our day I guess! we fished the rest of the day trying to get rid of the 2 pounder in our box and just couldn't do it!
didn't matter in the long run as we ended u smoking the competition weighing in a 18.76 bag! my biggest sac of fish in a tournament to date!
We ended up with 1rst place and big fish weighing 5.86
truly a day I will not forget! And with a first and second place on this lake this year I may have a new favorite lake
the big fish was just over 22 inches but without a sheet with my team number and stuff she won't count for the bovt!
your lucky oneeleven
im still on a high that im sure will last a couple more days of me shaking my head and giggling to myself
GOD I LOVE FISHING!!!

Beautiful fish! Such a great day for you guys! Congrats!!
And re: your lunker and the BOVT, I'm sure they'd accept just the photo of her on the measuring tape without your ID number in it maybe? It's pretty easy to verify the legitimacy by the background with your boat in the photo, etc
