96 was first followed by 90 then 89. Are you kicking yourself? One thing that I learned about this tournament is that I need to invest in a more comfortable seat.

Not too much now. My best 5 from fishing a little bit in the morning and in the afternoon on Saturday was 93.25" good enough for 2nd I just didnt have enough time to jack with a tournament this weekend. Saturday was my only free day lol. My big bass was 21.5"

Actually I guess it depends on how much 2nd place got lol. But I'm just glad I didnt miss out on a chance to win a kayak!

Second place (gutcheck) got cash and a gopro!

It's been my experience that fish bite better when I'm not fishing a tournament.

[quote=pelican]It's been my experience that fish bite better when I'm not fishing a tournament.[/quote ......same here... I caught 99 inches in two hours prefishing two weeks ago and couldn't get anything more than 18 after 16 hours of fishing during the tourney.. I want to thank everyone that was involved in putting this on and special thanks to APT

Congrats to all. Wanted to enter as I really enjoyed the tournament format last year, just couldn't get away from work in time. Nothing like a tournament with those hours to learn something about yourself.

LOL Nathan... No offense buddy but if I had a dollar for everyday I whacked it for 95 -100 when I wasn't fishing a tourney I could buy a lifetime supply of senkos... Like pelican says: game changes when you're actually fishing the tournament...

Man, this is easily my favorite event to fish. I really appreciate APT for putting this on. If you'd ever considered fishing a kayak tournament this would be the one to try. I only had 1 fish that made the grade to show for umpteen hrs of straight fishing so I decided to stop by moms and have lunch instead of rush to the weigh in since I was in the area. And fish do seem to bite better when it's not tourney day. The previous sunday I caught close to 100 inches in one spot only to find it full of sandbass and dinks when it counted. Story of my life. I enjoyed it anyway and hope they put one on again this spring. Congrats to Jason, Tom, and Mike on a job well done. And thanks to all who efforted to run the thing

Oh believe me I know that all too well. All things considered though I don't think my day would have been any fdifferent tournament or not. It was a couple of private stock ponds. Even when the fishing is bad (which it was for these ponds) it's still pretty good!

What a great time!! Thanks Rick at APT for this event!! had to junk fish every bite! Congrats to Tom and Mike!! I feel lucky to great 1st againt Tom at this one. He had a strong plan. Not mention the Mike and Deric we all know what they can do !! Also the hot hand of the "Night Rider" Bryan Row! For those that said they were going to fish this and didn't, not sure why you would do that again and again....come on out great bunch guys here. We have a awesome sport !

Sounds like a great time had by all. Wish APT would start a new series here next season!!

Me too... That series would be a hit!

Congratulations Jason and Mike!

Couldn't agree more!

Here are some Pics from the APT and my outing. I had a great time, but man was I tired! When you fish with Deric you better be prepared for the long haul and long hours. Thanks for Rick, Joe and Dan for hosting this. You guys are awesome!
I'm not really into tournament fishing, but some like NTKBF and These APT are fun and laid back.
