Holland 6-29

[Far Beyond Driven]

Fished the Kids and Kings tournament with my girls this morning. Was cool as my dad was able to join us and help out with the kids.

Greeted by a calmer than forecast lake, we made use of the Four Winns' ample power and just blistered across the lake after we were told to take off. We hooked up just as we were wrapping up the spread in 80' and put a nice 7.5# laker in the box. Could not get the silver going and just kept plowing south in 105', picking up a fish here and there. Lost one big rip on a full core and found a king hitchhiking on a 200' copper, but the rest of our action was riggers literally hammering on the bottom.

Well, except a fat 12.6# laker that came on a white dodger / P-nut 325' back. I think it took Goof almost half a hour to winch that thing in, butt of the rod in the dog box cup holder and me pulling the rod back so she could reel in wire foot by painful foot.

That got us 6th place but unfortunately not big laker. Came up a little short for my youngest, but she won her first tournament a couple weeks back so she needs to learn how not to win as well.

Very fun tournament, very well ran.
