It looked like a tough bite for sure. The water was filthy. |

Location: Darboy USA | Nice pic Thumper! My 6 year old got 3 nice brookies last night and is excited to eat them for dinner tonite!
Anyone know where some of the bigger weights came from? Was it a trolling bite or did all different tactics prevail? Congrats to the Van Schyndels, great bag in tough conditions! |

You paid down to 18th place while the FLW paid down to 9th. That's with your entry fees being lower than $600 per person and the costs of doing your tournament much lower. Great bang for your buck

| Thanks. I cant take much credit except for just showing up and fishing I was in Florida for that whole week beforehand. I have to give all the credit to my dad and our partners. It was a day were you dont catch a lot of fish but you get 8 walleye bites and 5 of them are the right ones. |
