Our club's two day Classic was this weekend on Weiss. I found a decent pattern Thursday in practice but nothing great.
It held up the first day of the tournament and I was 0.71lbs out of first after the first day.
Today I zeroed. Ouch. Well, technically I did have one keeper (12.5" spot), but I threw him back and left an hour early.
I lost three good ones on squarebills that jumped and threw the hooks. All 3 were definitely over 3lbs and one was probably well over 4.
Turns out the other leaders struggled also. I only needed 7.5 today to win. Had the winning bites and couldn't land them. First place was $2,000. Instead I fell to 10th and $200. Glad I was in a position to win, but wish I didn't learn what it's like to watch $1800 worth of fish jump off!
