22.59 pound stringer with 9.14 big bass - 06/29/15 03:07 PM

My dad and I took 1st place in the Sportsman's Bass Club tournament at Toledo Bend this past Saturday night. Our best 5 went 22.59 pounds, and I caught the big bass of 9.14 pounds. I just knew I had finally got a double digit when I got her in the boat!! It was an awesome night of fishing, and it made it even better to catch them with my dad.

Nice!!! Great job!!
Is that one your dad is holding dead? I know it happens I was just wondering. Not trying to stir the pot at all.

Excellent Mr. Phelps. Those are some great memories there. Any stories behind the catching to share? Lots of folks interested in night time fishing and need the help.

Thanks everyone for the congrats. We found these fish last Saturday night while scouting for this tournament. The tournament started at 7pm and we did not have a bite until 11:00. I wanted to leave the spot to try other places, but my dad talked me into staying. I'm glad that he did!! He was sure that they were going to show up and start biting. It was like someone turned on a switch when they decided to bite, and it was on!!
We caught all of our fish on this same main lake point in 12 to 15 foot of water. We were throwing tx rig ole monster worms with 5/16 tungsten, with a bead, and a brass clacker.
