nhbass and I fished the NH BASS Federation Open on Friday...fishing but no catching. Thought we had a good pattern lined up for the day. Looking in 20-35 ft of water, dropping Silver Buddies into bait...wrong! Caught 1 11 1/4 inch smallie and that's it. Fished 4 inches to 40 feet and everything in between. Nada. To top it all off, my new Dobyns rod witha 1 yr old Daiwa spinning reel attached, somehow blew off the boat. Got up at 2:45 Am and drove to the lake, arrived back home around 6:30 PM exhausted. Had some Shannon Door Pizza, 2 cold Buds and crashed. Got up this morning, ate and went and caught some fish..feel better now.

The winning weight at the tx was really impressive-4 fish limit and 25.55 lbs! All Largies, biggest one well over 7 lbs (think 2 were). First time on Sunapee, seems pretty good, but you couldn't prove it by us!
