manitoubass2 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) My wifes cousin and uncle have entered for years. They are old school jig and minnow anglers. For years Ive fished with them both, and they always were amazed at how well I knew the waters and techniques. Thats all they talked about was winning that tourny, and we had great times trying to strategize spots, etc. Day one I get a text saying I got two big fish! Contact stops there as I dont wanna jinx them. They are in second. Day two im busy with work so I couldnt make it. I told my wife "they are down 3lbs to the leaders, they need a good day and for them to have a bad day". Well I get a txt at 3 from tricia, "!!!!!" Thats it, i know they got kickers? I get the call around 430 that they had won by 4lbs!!!! Shortly after she calls me crying and tells me the bite was dead, so they took some of my advice and got lucky lol. Im just posting this because im real proud of them? all those deep v's and bass boats lost to a girl in a tinnie!!! Not that that really matters, im just really happy for them? 15 grand is a decent payday!!! Edited September 27, 2015 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) That's what great tournament fishing is about. Get your strategy work the details, make adjustments and make it look like luck. Nice job. Edited September 28, 2015 by Garnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Now how great is that? Man the trophy is almost the size of the Stanley Cup. Plus they get to put some cash in their jeans. Forget the fact that those guys were beat out by a lady. I find women that enjoy angling out fish guys regularly, me for sure. Something to do with pheromones I once read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) That's amazing and a great pay cheque to boot!Yes! They are awesome people and they really needed a new vehicle. My guess is thats where the cash goes after a few gifts for nephews ans nieces?
