Had only about 2.5 hours to fish today so launched the Ally in the dark at 6:30, headed to spot number 1, throwing a Senko, I hook into something big, only to have it come unbuttoned? Brother Dave throws at the same rock and has about a 2.5 lb smallie nail his grub and break him off, then jump a few times to rub it in! then I have another on a grub and it breaks me off, then Dave has a small one jump off. Go to spot 2 and Dave loses another 2.5 lb smallie as he is trying to lip him in! So now it's a game of whoever gets the Bass closest to the boat, wins. On to a new spot and the phone rings, it's Rivernut( my buddy with the 335 hp jet) For the last 5 times I have been out without him, when he calls I always catch one while talking to him. Sure enough, bam! 1.5 lb smallie on, I could lead the tourney, but no! it comes off too! Brother Dave is laughin at me. Time is running out, gotta be off the water at 9, so we head to a current break spot, I pitch in while the boat is drifting back, and bam, another one on...then off! What's the deal? hooks are sharp, hook set could rip your head off , I can't figure it out?, Brother Dave is laughing at me more, so I say " oh yeh, take this" and cast back and get a 2.5 lber on, I yell for the net, as I am not gonna lose this tourney today. He laughs some more and sais "forget it!" the current is way too fast for me to let off the TM so I go to swing him over the side, he comes up, into the boat and...Jim Bitter! bounces off the windshield and back in! Then we had to leave. So I won the day with the fish closest to actually catching it!
