All i asked for was 1 fish - 06/26/17 08:19 PM

So my wife said she wanted to start fishing some open team tournaments w/me. So what could go wrong since I usually fish alone and always 1 shy of a limit. 2nd tourney together and I tell her all she needs to do is catch her 1 keeper for us to have a chance to cash ( by the way 1st team tourney we tied for 2nd place w/only 4 keepers, 0 by Ashley). Needless to say her competitive nature she didn't want to use the small fish bait I set her up with in the 1st tourney she want to use what I had on so she could fish in the [censored] like I did.
Back to the story-- get to spot I want to fish and she pulls out her beetle spin on steroids 1st cast hangs up. that's enough of that. look up she grabs rod w/ custom jig and go to work and around 10am I look back to see her rod bent over, I grab the net in time to see fish swim by boat and it looks big , as she gets its head turned I start to get net ready and it jumps( I'm thinking oh $#!+ if I miss this it will be a longgg day) as it jump she pulls it over the edge of the net and her line go limp as hook falls out.
at end of day she did all I asked---
1 fish-- 6.9 lbs ( big bass of tournament) also successfully netted my fish for a combined 19lbs

Very cool! I'm teaching my wife this year and so far she has proven to be a drop shot prodigy... hoping she's gonna stick it out and follow suit on some team tourneys!

Saweet!! Looks like you've got quite the "keeper"!! Could make quite the team if you catch 4 and she gets the kicker each time!

thanks for the comments
now if I can get her to understand the she will be better off using a baitcaster instead of a zebco 33
on a flipping stick when flipping into the reeds.

Sounds like you are ready to fish the Texas Bass Couples Trail out of the Metroplex Division in Fort Worth.
