Personal Best
I managed to catch my personal best largemouth in last night's
tournament. It weighed in at 5 lbs 7 oz. I caught it on a 7-inch black
Power Worm on a shaker rig with a small worm rattle inserted in it.
The fish came out of 10-12 feet of water just after full dark
(approximately 9:15 PM). I had very few bites the rest of the night,
but that one bite was big enough for me to earn my first ever check
for lunker. I will post pictures over on abpf as well as Outdoor
Frontiers post haste.Harry J aka Thundercat

| Congrats, Harry. I checked out your pics and they look great. I'll try
to outdo you soon, I've got the Texas water advantage, but you've got
the knowledge. |

| Don't swell his head, he shook a worm : ) Nah just kidding the fish was a
nice one. I took the images and made him pose. Harry will definetly give
Warren a run for his money for best dressed ROFB'er. It was a tough bite as
I fished as an observer, I landed two fish and slept for a few hours into
early morning. But good to be back out on a big boat. The fish were there as
two members of that club brought in respective limits of 15 and 12 lbs. It
was all about location as they both caught fish on patterns that everyione
else was using |

| I weigh in 12-16 lbs fairly often yet, still have not managed to win a
tournament. Its pretty disenheartnening when you bring in a nice bag, and
the first thing you see is an eight pounder on the scale.

| I know you were kidding. I go to the lake and say, "Where are the fish
today? Where will they be later on? What will they bite on? How should I
present it? What rod should I use with what line? Why aren't they
biting? Is it my presentation, lure, or are they just not biting right
now? What is the meaning of life?" Then I come back to ROFB and TFF and
try to learn some more. I like Harry's signature line. "Share the
knowledge, compete on execution." Sure beats mine. ---

| Just Five Fish Bags. Although I must admit I only caught 4 fish saturday for a whopping total of
5.99 The previous weekend I weighed in 11.05 and 13.55 on saturday and
sunday respectively. Didn't make it in the money either day. I blew a
couple good crank bait fish on the saturday with 11.05 that would have
improved my bag by a couple pounds. Next weekend I am fishing a club open with only a 3 fish bag.

| Good luck Bob. When you bring in 12 pounds what seems to be the average
winning weight? Warren |

| Lately the winning bags have been over twenty. I'ld say the last 5 or 6
tournaments I have fished have had 21-22 pound bags for first. Three or
four tourney's ago we weighed in 16.5 for third with 2nd going a 19.05 and
1st going to over 22. I'ld say all season a 16 or 17 was the lowest 1st
place I have seen. May have been one or two lower back in January or
February.
