Got the exact weights out in my jeep and i'm too lazy to go get them,.. Rolling Eyes

,..but here are the tourney results:

First place (and all the money) went to Next level & Senko bandit with 3 fish for just under 10lbs,..including a nice lunker that went just under 5!

Second place went to Chuck C & Ryan G with a nice 3-fish bag of 6lbs & change.

Third place went to Johnny Skeeter and yours truly with 3 fish for just under 4#.

Nick & Zorro and fishbait84 & partner found the fishing pretty tough and did not weigh.

Good job & congrats to SB &NL,....... and better luck in 2 weeks to everyone else at Bantam! Wink

ps: I think we might have a picture coming (hint hint Nick!! Razz

) of Nexl Level with his lunker!

I think that just about all our fish came on finesse baits,..(jigs & worms) and I believe that the big fish of the tourney was caught on a DS worm!

Most of our bites were extremely light and came off wood or other shallow cover that had deep water nearby!

thanks everybody on the congrats. Just4Fun is exactly right. the fish came off of a drop-shot rig in about 5 ft of water. i was definitely not thinking bass when i hooked it. i thought it was a good size pike. all of our fish came out of at least 5ft of water or more on all finesse baits. congrats to the others that caught fish on a tough day as usual on mansfield. thanks for putting on the tourney mark it was a great time. hope to see everybody at the next one. also want to give some thanks to my partner senko bandit. without his 2.5 lber we still would have been in trouble. Very Happy

Nice seeing everyone on a not so warm day. Laughing

Our fish came on grubs and jigs. See you guys at Bantam.
