Well...tournament prior with my buddies in the Cooper River Bassmasters club I nailed an 8.92 from the Cooper River and this weekend this BEAST from the Lake Moutrie (lower lake).

She weighed 9.91 by tournament scales. The fish in the other hand was a 4 pounder that was also in my 22.96 bag. It took just shy of 26 pounds to win and there were 4 bags 20+.

Santee is HOT right now with the Carolina Angler Team Trail taking a 35 pound sack to win and a 29 pound sack to even get a check.

IT was a GREAT day except for the 25 mph winds. Them fish were about pounded flat in the livewell on the way back.
