We had a long grinding weekend. We were in 11th after the first day, with 3 fish that went 4.13. Day 2 our early morning bite went away, we hit a few deep holes and didn't find any fish, so we decided to go to the one deep hole that we caught the most fish on the week before. We sat on the spot for over an hour with no bites, then I caught an 8.6 that was a 24 1/4 incher over the slot. It only took that one bite to bring us all the way to the top. After we went and weighed in the fish we only had two more bites all day and they were slot fish. It was an amazing blessing, and I never saw it coming. Congrats to the guys that finished second and caught a fish over 9lbs, and got the free mount, yall made us sweat it out till the end, and good job to everyone that fished, it was a seriously tough weekend. It still hasn't completely sunk in that we're the champions.

Nice, who put you on your fish?
A little shout out would be nice to your captain.
Congrats

My dad has fished down on fork forever. Couldn't have done it with out him. He has took me down there since I was a little kid, we spent probably a week running around eliminating deep holes. I owe 98% percent of my success from his teachings and advice. Wouldn't be in the positions I'am today without him!

Congrats buddy. Well deserved win. I captained for the 2nd place team who had the 9.21 over and the single-day heaviest bag, both of which set records for this tournament. Lake Fork is a special lake where one bite can help you make up a lot of ground. You're never out of it. The kids I captained came up from 46th to 2nd.
