Fed. Nation @ Barren River

Well to put it simply, pre-fishing was great. We shook off over 30 fish on Friday all of which were trying to rip the rods out of our hands. We did stick a few but just from community holes which ended up being prob. 6 fish all around 3-4lbs. Greg did manage to bring one 5 lber all the way to the surface and then shake it off as the fish jumped and spit the ______ lol. Anyways, tournament day went well, just as I had wished. Overall had 18.56lbs and my non-boater had 11.47lbs. All together we had 18 keepers. My non-boater was amazing, he caught 3 of my biggest fish in mid air with the net. I ended up in 1st and my co-angler grabbed 2nd. It was a good day. Here are a few pics.
