Best tournament finish and what you did that day when you were fishing.
- I was finshing a October tournament on Buckhorn Reservoir outside of Wilson, NC. I had not caught anything all day, it was about 12 noon. So I pull out a top water bait and started fishing with it and I caught a 15" bass, on Buckhorn bass needs to be 16". About 5 min. later I caught one more but it was 13" so I moved on and about 1:15, I caught a 9.28# and won the tournament and Big Bass as well.
