Hello Everybody!
This past Saturday I fished in a tournament hosted by TOP BASS on Rice Lake with my very close buddy, Tim Bonello. Blast-off was at 7:00 am and our blast-off number was 52. I was so excited and pumped for this tourney with Tim! Our first spot was for smallies and we were on a school! We hooked many many fish, but we only managed to catch 2 keepers in that spot. Then, we went about 2 hours without a fish. In those 2 hours, we lost 3 nice largies pitching jigs and Texas Rigs in the Otonabee River. Then, we headed back to our first spot and it did not disappoint us! We smashed about fifteeen 2+ pounders!!!! We had our limit of nice smallies with our smallest being 2lbs 12oz. The rest of the day we did not hook into anymore fish when we looking for some big buckets. We were trying to improve by fishing a river with senkos and jigs. After that, we headed back to weigh-in which was at 3:00 pm. At the weigh-in we weighed a nice 16.31 pounds! Our biggest fish being a 3 and 3/4 pound smallie! At the end of the weigh-in we saw that we had come in the money! At TOP BASS, payouts are to 15th place and we came in 9th place! I was so happy! It was an awesome experience and it felt really cool to come top ten! I'd like to thank Tim Bonello for helping me to have an awesome tournament experience! I also like to thank my sponsors for helping me through my fishing!
