Today I fished in the Golden Hook Bassers 2nd tournament of the year and I won, whoohoo I really needed this one because I stunk up the first tournament so this got me right back into the thick of things for angler of the year. The club fished hear about three years ago and the winning weight was over 18lb's. I decided that this lake was to far away to put any pre fishing time into since it was going to be won shallow this time of year and with the crappy water color, I was right all my fish were caught in less than 4 feet of water. I caught two or three fish on a Secret Lures MVP flipping jig in black/blue with a Berkeley chigger chunk, my big fish was caught on a homemade swimjig with a bluegill pattern skirt and every other fish I caught was on a 4" Northland Slurpies flipping tube in Perch and this was used in the reeds on the west side of Washington and when I mean in the reeds I mean in the reeds not just skirting the edge I was plowing threw the whole bed of them flipping to the thickest areas and the fish would blast that tube hard. I was fishing with Tom Miller and he only had two fish with about an hour and a half left so i recommended we go back to the reeds figureing that was our best bet at getting him some keepers to finish out his limit and he did just in time. Back at the ramp I weighed in a bag of 12.58 pounds with a 4.05 largemouth and Steve Oswald had 12.22 for Second place and he stole big bass from me with a 4.17 pounder %^$#er
