    Tournament blast off, 100 boat shot gun start

    One of the oldest tournament in our area. This was the 36th year. 200 teams, we take off in 2 flights. 100 boats shot gun start.

    We ended up 33rd. Not as good as we normally do here. But still decent.

    yeah I know. All our tournaments this year we are in the first flight. Makes awesome vids being at the back. But us the way it works is you weigh in by your boat number. So if your team 100 your waiting a while.

    Man, even in a Bullet it’s hard to pass slower boats on a long run when your dealing with boat wake after boat wake. I make it happen when I can, but don’t get too stupid, it’s only a fish.

    also, OP lost time by not having his rods out........ that takes time to dig all that junk out.....

    Both rods we are starting with are beside my partner. We take rods out last min so ppl don't see what we are using.

    That would be fun but if we tried that in Palatka we'd kill each other. WAY to many fast boats down here!
