Bass Tourny

I live in Alpine where we have a private lake just epic bass fishery. We had our annual member/guest tourny on Saturday.

Winner of the Adult division had a three fish aggregate weight of almost 17 lbs with the biggest fish 7-13 that stringer was good for

Winner of the Junior division had a three fish aggregate weight of almost 13 lbs with the biggest fish being a 5-7. That was won by my 13 year old son

At any rate we had a blast with a great BBQ afterwards!

not to mention that last almost 8 lb'er was caught with only 2 minutes left in the tournament

i was on a kayak, i was in the wrong places at the wrong times. it was fun nonetheless.

I don't know how Phil did. That fish that was caught with two minutes to spare was a dandy! I went down there yesterday afternoon to see if my cooler was still around (forgot it after the BBQ) there were THREE guys fishing right there! Cracked me up!

I guy named Matt on a 21ft Triton (w/ partner) won the tourney right? I talked to him that night at a party and he mentioned that the bite was epic on an extra special custom top-water bait.

I don't remember the guy's name who won, but he was in what looked like a Jon boat and caught the winning fish with two minutes to go. That lake has been off the hook. My son and I have caught so far this year several over six and at least two dozen over five and countless over four.

This is the best year I can remember for the bigger fish. Usually we only get maybe a dozen total over 5.

There was a guy who was throwing a "broken back" bait, not sure what it looked like or if it was surface or... At any rate it was a fantastic day.

The name of the Adult Division winner was Shane Spencer.

Congrats to your boy! I was the one flippin' burgers and handing out prizes. What an epic day. 18 fish over 5lbs. 6 over 6lbs.

THANKS A BILLION FOR FLIPPIN THE BURGERS! That was a real cool thing to do especially when your dad was out fishing! He really does a nice job on putting that thing together!
