Who says you need a limit to win ?

Only the second tournament I've ever made a go at, and my partner and I took third, much to our amazement. I caught two of my biggest keepers using a Tiki stick worm but get this, I've never used soft plastics before. I just knew hard lures werent going to work because Ive fished that area before. My partner ( the more experienced one ) has fished hundreds of tournaments and didnt catch a keeper. He threw mostly hard lures. Anyways 3 keepers and a 3rd place win we both took home a couple of shimano rods and a hundred bucks but, I think the plaque is the coolest part.

Good for you! Congrats! That will get you hooked on tournaments. Good haul on the prizes too.

I thought I should share the strategy I used in case any of you ever decide to try it. We fished docks, off the main lake with the wind to our backs. The rig was comprised of a Waveworm (Tiki Stick) Black with a blue tip. Hooked through the nose texas rigged, with a 1/4 ounce U-head. I'm not doubting anyones ability to fish with soft plastics, I'm merely suggesting a combo you maybe should include amongst your arsenal.. This style of tikistick is know as "dipstick" and you would probably have to order the black/blue color online as most stores only have select colors. GOOD LUCK FISHING

Wow! All I've gotten for third was my money back, or 80 dollars, and once I didn't even get paid!

Do you know the actual name for the color you fished? I've been fishing some different blue this year with a a fair amount of success. I had ben so stuck on watermelon and red flake stuff for so long I had to break out... I like the sound of the black with the blue tip.
Congrats!
