Finally struck gold!

Fished a tourney on Grand today and we had a great day. I stuck a solid 3lber on my second or third cast and that is where the snowball started. By 9:00 we were culling 3lbers and we actually got culled a few 4lbers and gained a couple ounces. We ended up winning it by 5lbs with 21.60lbs. Caught all of our fish on a Bomber Firetiger crankbait. I did get broke off though by an absolute monster. She ate my flippin tube and got me into a brush pile before I could get her turned. I could still feel her head shakes even though she had me hung but she sawed me off before we could get the boat in to her. Even though we won the tournament this fish is going to haunt me for a while because I have caught several 5 to 7lbers and I konw this fish was bigger than that. Anyways we had a great time and there is nothing quite like throwing back 3lbers in front of other tournament boats who are begging for keepers to fill out a limit . I have been needing a good finish for a while now so hopefully this win will put me in a groove!
