Well, i had another 10.00 derby with my son...earlier in the week i boated a 4 ...3 fives and a 6 pounder Then out of no where the fish shut down....Today i boated 8 bass. The bass have to be 14 inches to count snd it's the weight of your best 2 bass...Seven of my eight were dinks and too small to count....My counter was 1 5/8 pound...Matt boated 5 ...four were too small. His best was 1 5/8 pound..lol so we tied....I was worried the braid was to visable to the lock jaw fish so i loaded my new Skeet Reese worm rod with 10 pound P Line Flouro Carbon....that worked very nice....

I lost my first 2 because i took a little off the hook set knowing it wasn't braid ,YOU can't do that...take nothing off and when i acted like the flouro Carbon was braid,,,i started catching fish(-;
