The season has started slow for me, the losses are mounting and the bank account is emptying. We managed to catch a limit at buckeye, at least thats what we thought. A misunderstanding in the boat, which is nobodys fault but my own, concluded with a short fish going to the scales. It wouldnt have mattered in the end as our bag prob would have only weighed 6lbs or so but it was still aggervating. In that particular tournament (rules vary from tournament to tournament depending on who is running it) a short fish results in a penalty of your biggest fish being removed from your bag. So not only did we lose the squeaker, we lost a 2lb+ fish. Like I said, it wouldnt have mattered, you had to have over 8lbs to get into the money and those two fish wouldnt have been much over 3lbs combined. We got bit most of the day but we just didnt find the quality that some guys are on. 3 tournaments in a row now without a check. Im due. Last year at one point I had won 3 tournaments in a row and really didnt fall out of the top 10 for most of the fishing season. Getting your butt kicked can get to you, im just glad my wife isnt keeping score.
S.T.P.
