Thanks again for another fun, well-executed event, Alan! And thanks to all participants for not wussing out due to the forecast.

This is my PB 6 lb, 2 oz pickerel from Rogers:

Thanks Randy. I didn't realize at the time that a trophy pickerel is only 5 lbs and 27". Probably the easiest trophy to get after channel cat (4lbs) and carp (20lbs).

A very big thanks to Alan for setting this up! I have fished my share of tournies and this was probably the nicest, best run and most enjoyable ones that I have ever participated in!

A couple of people have asked me privately about what I caught my fish on,..so I will just post the details here:
I caught all my fish (all that counted anyway...) on a black 1-ounce jig that day! I use twin trailers on it, a Paca Chunk underneath (for it's swimming action and then a regular chunk on top to bulk it up. I always spray the whole thing with Yum craw-flavored scent. With that much rubber and scent,..I find that bass really hold onto it for quite a while! Wink

I fished it two ways:
1) Tossing it to the bottom and very gently wiggling it around the outside weedline which was 12-13 FOW on Rogers. I concentrated on places that had a dropoff around that kind of depth!
2) I also cast it out and burned it back, over shallow flats where there was just a foot or two between the surface and the weeds. This is tiring with a 1 ounce jig,..so I don't spend a lot of time doing it. I just give a few casts as I'm passing by those kind of areas,...but I did pick up two of my fish that way! Cool
