Man what a day! since the tournament didn't start till 8 we didn't have to get up early, very odd. Ment Jimmy Mize at his room and we got in no hurry till................. I realized I had forgot my life vest, damn it, Jimmy in his calm has heck way said no biggy we have plenty of time just go get it after I dump him off. In no time I was back at the ramp and in the boat. We take off and head to the first stop which is in the middle of no where and deep. He catches one on the 2nd cast and I pretty much follow behind with a keeper. By the time we leave that stop we both have 2 in the well a piece. Next stop doesn't go so well then he says lets just work our way up the drop and see if we can run into them.................... holy shit did we!

Literaly cast after cast for about 10 cast in a row and if you missed one on a cast the next cast would be a bite, wowowowowow. We kept having guys watching us just trying to mark the spot so we sit there for what seemed like forever and when they left we moved on and caught fish every stop after that. Both of our fish didn't look too good so we went and got some ice at a marina and cooled them off but one of mine was in no shape to return to happyness. Come weigh in he was dead as hell and coat me 4oz and I ended the day with 15.11lbs and a tie for 5th.

Tomorrow I have Jeff Kreit, man this should be a blast. He is doing the drop thing also like I did today so hopefully everything will go fine and I will make it to Saturday.

Mike
