I thought it was a pissing contest?

20 boats so far. Sadly that's a good turnout for Big Lake

We'll still have a good time. Wind looks like it calmed down a bit so it will be interesting come weigh in time.

Excited to meet everyone!

No doubt gonna be good times for sure!

Well.....who won?

results???

Rough day! 27 boats entered 11.70 was the winning weight.

W did not win nor place in the paid top 6 for the inquiring minds

did he weigh 2 fish??? lmao

I believe so, right over 8 pounds I think. A lot better than most I'll add though, it was tough. 1st few hours fishing was in a steady drizzle, I think the sun only shined about 5 total minutes today. Dirty water everywhere, and most of the fish we caught were either 12-17 or 30

Me and some friends fished today. Tuff out there. We managed five flounder. On another note I had my first person fall out of my boat today. I laughed so hard I almost cried. Btw he is not a little guy either.

We caught 20 red fish give or take a few today. Only 5 were between 16-27. Caught 7 flounder also. Found decent water around 10am with 18" of clarity and we caught 80% of our fish on 1 protected shoreline that we drifted over and over Fishing slowed after lunch, caught very few in the last 3 hours of fishing time. Mind you my partner nor myself have ever been to big lake a day in our lives before. We went in completely blind this morning. Picked a spot of the map and beat the banks. Not a bad day for a 1st ever trip

The reds are easy to find in bl...like you said pick a wind protected bank and you will run into them eventually.

Hell yeah man. Nice job. This lake is just awesome. You should check it out on the good days. Thurs about a hour before dark the fish went nuts. They were just crushing bait.

Tell that to the many teams that didn't weigh in a fish. There was nothing "easy" about it today. Blasting off in drizzling rain sucks bad. Rain drops at 55mph with 20mph wind tends to sting a little.

Not knocking you, but do you even realize how many people think its "easy" to catchs reds in BL, Bass in Toledo, Bass on Rayburn, Bass on Calcasieu, but come tournament time they dont weigh fish, if it was easy, you'd see everybody fishing tournaments, and weighing in fish.




Once again, not knocking ya, but its not "easy"

I am absolutely in shock! :eek: I cannot friggin' believe this crap!

;)

I said it was easy to find them....not so easy to find tournament sized reds. :D I know what you mean about running in the rain. Got stuck in a rain shower last fall in 50 degree temps and it was miserable. Bought me a a fish hedz mask and it is the bomb. Basically a paintball mask with no holes. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Save_...-SPHACEMK.html

:help:

I really don't know where we finished because they only called out top 5 or 6.......... We caught 20 or so Reds but could not get the ones we had yesterday...I hit a school and had one 25inch 7.34 and 6.13 but weather and tide was not the same...We never could find that school in the area again today.... Caught several nice trout though....Had one almost 5lbs...

We had a few ounzes over 8lbs........

I agree...come tournament time it always seems like pulling teeth no matter how many fish you caught pre fishing. Every once in a while the stars line up perfectly and you have a banner day. I fished bass tournaments for 9 years with my dad,can be VERY annoying. On another note,you have to admit redfish are the easier to catch compared to bass. High pressure affects bass way more than reds.

Yes, but come tournament time, they aren't... Atleast with a bass it can be 11 inch+ on calcasieu dogfights....reds gotta be 16-27, and your shooting for 27

Tough day on the water to say the least. I felt we had a good showing for two guys from the east. 8.52 lbs for us. It was nice meeting some of you I have never met before... Saltyshaw and Mallardfish to name two.

Yall did damn good...congratulations on the catch in that crap...

I clocked winds at 9am...27 and one gust hit 35mph...

It was nasty for sure!

Who won?

Couldn't tell ya. It's our 1st year in this series. We don't know hardly anyone by name.

Hey W next tournament is May 14th in Venice. Come get you some of the East side

Blake Champion and Mike Lambert won. Really great guys that fish the IFA, LSS, and HT Cup. They beat out Brady (Boatdriver) and I by 0.36lbs. It was a fun day but was not fun running through ship channel.

We plan on it

You and Dumass teaming up??:smokin:

Capt. Matt Caire

No Kevin Ford...that's pop N Cork country,,,,, you should of seen those 3ft waves in the lake today.... Now we know Lake P 3ft waves would of sunk my boat......I'm wonder if Venice's 3ft waves are cross breed???

I bet it was rockin and rollin out there today. I seen some of the rigs heading east down I-10 this evening on the way home from Baton Rouge.
