My First Dogfight...

Well, a Tuesday Night (fishing) Dogfight, that is. Every Tuesday night, after the Spring time change, there is a bass fishing tournament from 6pm to 10pm. Specs: Buddy tournament (boater and co-angler), 5-bass per angler, 15-inch minimum largemouth, smallmouth or Kentucky spotted, $20 each to enter, 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and biggest bass pay out.

This tourney is usually won by a few different sets of favored locals. They know the spots and the brush piles and the structure and the honey holes. They know the patterns and the eating habits and follow barometric pressure well. They have the best equipment and the newest tackle. They have the biggest and the fastest boats as well. Can they be beat? Of course they can!

This year is gonna be different. A new breed of fisherman is coming to town - me! Wish me luck - I'm prolly gonna need it!
