My partner and I fished a tourney Saturday at Patoka and the first fish I catch is a 5lber and I'm thinking it's going to be a good day. Well I get a
2lber on and lose it at the boat. Then my partner gets one over 3lbs so its still not a bad day. We then catch several just under the 15 inch size limit. We
decide to move and get another one on thats close to 4 pounds my partner try's to net it and it jumps and hits the net knocking it free. We still have 3
hours so were not panicked yet and move to another spot that doesn't produce so we move to a main lake point with good grass and my partner checks the fish
we have and the 5lber isn't doing very good. Well we decide to go weigh in early because dead fish don't count so I'm running back at 65 mph when
the motor blows so I stop a pontoon and get towed and was able to weigh in our 2 fish at 8.35. I lost big bass to a 5.70 which payed $550 that might have eased
the pain of the blown motor
