Bad Bass Boys Team takes 1st Place!!!!!!!

The Original Bad Bass Boys Team took over the 1st Place position for the year with a 1st Place finish on Aug 9th in a field of 36 competitors. We weighed in 5 Bass for a total of 11.49 lbs. Almost 3.5 lbs ahead of everyone. Our big fish for the day was 4.39 lbs. Now we have our work cut out, we need to maintain our standing thru two more events.

Still holding on to 4th place

Well we took 5th in todays tourney with a weight of 5.23 lbs. This should tell you something about what kind of day it was on the water. 1st place was taken with 7.09 lbs. It was a tough day out there. We are still holding our 4th place year to date standing and we have 3 tourneys to go. The Bad Bass Boy Team has got there work cut out for them. We are feeling very confident with the next three lakes but we may put in one extra pre-fish on each lake just to give ourselves the extra edge. So far we have only pre-fished 3 hrs on each lake. We are 3 lbs out of 1st place but plan to close that gap and hopefully surpass that mark during the next event. I will keep you posted.

2nd Place

We are climbing our way to the top. We finished the 3 hour tourney with 5 fish and a weight of 10 lb 13 oz but we were penalized .5 lb for a dead fish. I got a deep hookset on him. I try to avoid this to help preserve the sport but sometimes it is unavoidable. I didn’t even know he had picked up my lure until I saw the line start to swim away. We finished in 2nd place for this event but I believe we climbed into the Top 3 bracket for the year so far. We have 4 tourneys left to complete the year. Our key to success has been to go with what we know but also plan to try new ideas, lures and tactics. We have been catching a few keepers by trying new approaches but in such a short tourney you don’t have time to expeiriment to much. We eventually migrate back to our comfort zone about 1.5 hrs into the 3 hr event. We will continue with this strategy until it becomes unproductive. Find a league in your area and sign up. It’s an awesome way to spend an evening!

4th Place

The saying is that nobody remembers who took second. So, I’m sure it’s a long shot that anybody will care who took 4th, but that’s exactly what the original Bad Bass Boys did in a recent tournament. (Hey, somebody’s got to do it!)
