    Ford Big Bass

    Well, I hope you guys did better than me this past weekend at the Ford Big Bass tourney. Didn't weigh a fish. But it was fun. It was just tough. How did everybody else do?

    Re: Ford Big Bass (Arkansas Champion)

    Fished Friday only...
    On the second cast of the day, my dad caught a 5.56 pounder

    We weighed that in on the 3rd or 4th hour, for $500
    That was the only keeper we caught...but it was fun

    I'll be back next year...and prepared to fish all three days

    That was tough fishing. My buddy, who I thought sure would cash a check zeroed all three days. I had a pretty good Horny Toad thing going all day long in matted stuff, but couldn't hook up with a lot of them. Miss a fish on a frog=small fish. The big ones usually mean business when they commit.

    Thanks Jay..
    Just found out last night in a post Aaron made that we were 33rd overall

    It was tough fishing for sure...
    After that one 5.56 lb bass, we couldn't get a bite
    Caught a total of about 6 fish the whole day with that being the only keeper....
    For the first 15-20 minutes, they were tearing a buzzbait up for us, but after that we tried everything everywhere and they just had lockjaw

    Oh well, I'll be back next year ready to take home the 100 grand
