Location: Berlin | Jim gets that many people because he is a class act and it shows in how he runs his tournaments.
Nice job guys, that is a heck of a weight in those conditions.
This system is a time bomb right now. If we can just get any kind of stable weather the bite will be unreal. |

Location: Darboy USA | Congrats on the win. Yes, tough conditions indeed. Big change in the fishes mood and location from Friday to Sunday. Could only get 3 to go yesterday, needed those last 2 or one big girl. Never came, although some of the half dozen northern and big white bass had us on edge until we got the boards off! Talk about disappointing.
Anyone know where the top weights came from? |
