Date Fished: 3/14/2008
Water Temperature: 59
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet The ABA Grand Slam B.A.S.S. tournament was a class act March 14th and 16th. Even though I lost 3 giant fish the first day, I enjoyed the tournament more than any tournament I ever fished. It was a pleasure to be around such friendly and professional anglers. My first day partner Emily Parker witnessed drag screaming and rod doubled each time I hooked a big fish with eyes bulging and mouth wide open. Emily will go far in the tour circuit. This young lady fished harder than any man I have fished with and had me beat until 10 oclock. I can not say for sure these fish were in the 10lb class or if they were even bass, but I did land a 10lb 08oz bass a few weeks before the tournament in that hole and its twin last March. The fish could have been stripe,drum or catfish. I'll never know! The big fish whacked a 3/4 oz rattle bait yoyoed in there face in a 6ft. ditch on the edge of a spawning flat. All you can hope for in a tournament is to be in the hunt and I had a shot. You need a little luck landing big fish because they are super strong this time of year. Hopefully next time luck will be in my boat. This March the fish have been following the bait from the channels to the flats and back as the water goes up and down. The fish have showed no physical sign of spawning yet. Gone Fishing! Buddy Golden
