What was freaky was this was a small pit that must have recently been sprayed fpr thick vegetation....i found no fish on the depth finder....i used to fish it a few years ago and it was ok....now..it's horrible...

Matt was drifting 2 worm rods and throwing a deep diving crankbait....i was throwing a Rooster Tail and pitching a worm..

In one hour i iwas ready to leave...there simply was no fish.....somehow ,while talking he saw his drifting rod move..he set the hook on a 14 1/4 inch bass just over a pound...ut oh..i'm losing the tournament....He said he saw a big fish on his depth finder over on a drop off..i sped over tyere and bumped a worm...tap tap....i reared back and set the hook on a big fish...Matt was worried as he saw me battle the lunker...Then..i was disappointed..the lunker turned out to be about a 6 pound bowfin. I reached down with the needle nosed pliers and let Mr. Teethy go.

Matt caught 2 more tiny bass...We were only fishing to 9:30 At 9;00 Matt's drifting rod starts sliding along the rail of the boat...He was drifting a Texas rigged black trick worm. He boated the 4 pound bass seen in the picture...Game Over...i caught one 11 incher and quit 15 minutes early..

We drove over to my house for a large coffee ...Hey...i like getting beat by mt son..i taught him well...lol
