First tournament of the year

[carolina-rig-01]

Britney and I fished our first tournament of the season yesterday. We got second place with 16.43 and missed winning by 1lb. The bad thing is that I caught all of our fish, Britney didn't catch a fish all day and I lost a big fish that would have culled a 2lber and certainly would have bumped us up to 19-20 lbs and would have won the tournament. I will happily take a 2nd place finish to start the season though, especially considering that my only goal was to do well enough to not take us out of Angler Of The Year contention. I honestly wasn't expecting to do that well but my pattern held up better than I expected and we had fish moving up into our areas all day long. All of our fish came on crawdad colored Wiggle Warts fished on chunk rock points infront of spawning areas.
