Sunday July 29^th,

I was suppose to fish this club tourney alone but Jason Titus’s boat was acting up so he fished with me, we took off as boat 3 and I hammered it to get to the spot I wanted to fish and figured others knew about this spot since it was a large underwater point just to the north of the landing we’ll I had two of my good buddies racing to the same area Guy was going to fish it and John was just passing threw apparently, Guy being the gentleman he his moved onto plan b since we got there first.

 We started up shallow in the reeds since it was actually were Guy was going and we I was going to start out deep anyway Jason caught a two pounder and then I caught a similar sized fish and that was it in the reeds so we moved out towards the deeper break and I started throwing a 10ft crankbait in bluegill color and caught another 2lb fish and then that started a flurry  and I caught my limit quickly and Jason had three, I worked all the way around the point and Jason picked up one more, he had about 8 lb’s with 4 and I had about 9 lb’s with 5 I decided to slide up on top of said point to crossover and make the same pass so Jason could get his limit as I started to come off the top I threw to the point of reeds that lead to deeper water with a wacky rigged Voodoo Stick a giant smallmouth raced up on top from deeper water and inhaled it I slammed it home and freaked out it made three hard runs at the boat and came up to jump but just wallowed then Jason finally got her into the net after she went underneath, and then in and jumped out then back in she was a beautiful smallie thought she was easily 5+ lb’s, with that we fished the break there hard for a long time trying to catch more to know avail.

 We then made a run to the south end of the lake which I didn’t even check out prefishing, Jason hooked up with another 2lb’er and finished his limit I then moved to another long point and started throwing my All-Terrain jig ½ oz. green pumpkin with a black Voodoo chunk and Jason was throwing a jig also and we went to town all along this point and maybe upgraded a little bit, the bite was weird we would get one here then there then here then there shallow, deep and in between no rhyme or reason well our time is up and we head back to put the boat on the trailer and try to get feel for how everybody did, by the way it feels like 100 degrees out here. Anyway asked A.J. how he did and he told me he caught 5 little dinks and he didn’t look all that happy well the weigh in is over and Dave McCrone won with 12.72 lbs awesome job, By the way Dave fishes a lot of national tournaments and has done pretty well. A.J. was pulling my chain about not doing well he had 11.13 lbs for 3^rd place and big bass with a 4.87 lb largemouth nice job fishing and fooling me, I came in 5^th place with 11.01 lbs and my smallie weighed 4.70 lbs Jason weighed 9.57 lbs for 8^th there were 5 of us real tight with low 11 lbs.
