Oh man. Everything Jaydub said was true. Quite embarassing considering the amount of ribbing I have been giving the other guys.
Quantum PT tour edition baitcaster with a team daiwa rod. I had no choice. Gone is my sony camera and the cell is kaput as well. Did some quick math in my head before diving in and I knew I had a spare cell phone at home.
Lesson learned. I was jigging a strata spoon and i will no longer do it wit my baitcaster. I had the reel in the palm of my left hand and the smooth surface of the reel combined with the rain and numbish hands was a recipe for disaster. Spinning reels and rods for jigging from now on.
And the icing on the cake is that my team managed to lose the tourney somehow. I think we caught about 125 fish to their 25 fish but still lost out by a half pound of smallmouth weight. We owe them wings!!! (Going to go on half price night).
Oh yeah and for those who are interested; the perch are in at the beach/tiffen launch and at the marina in Barrie. Crazy, crazy numbers but very few over 10". Fun day right up until the end. Oh yeah, I got home and was locked out of my house as well.
