I fished a club tourney on G'ville one November day, after a major front with 25+ mph winds. Not a bite all day! Coming in to ramp with 12 minutes to go, already gave an apology speech to coangler for not getting around the fish, and he throws to a milfoil mat that has blown up to the riprap by the ramp, catches a 3 lb'er. I spin the boat (25 mph wind) and throw a spinner bait, 6.5lb'er, then another cast a 4lb'er. Won the tournament because everyone else had the same bad luck we had most of the day. In the words of Ike, 'never give up'!
