Was reading about that tournament on BBC, that was a team tournament that Dave Vogel organized. Great man and angler.

(interestingly I looked at bbc and the winning weight was 24.18 for that team event) Mine was a club tourney for me and I was fishing against the guy in the back of my boat as we have 5 non boaters and the short sticks get them..... I havent ever fished any form of a open tourney.

Nice fish. I did not think Iowa could kick out that big a stringer. Props.

I fished a Iowa tourney and almost busted 25lb.. Wish I could have culled the 3.8 and 4.0 w a 5 plus. I wish guys would stop using penetrating cull tags and picking up 5lb and over fish by them three had huge tears in their lower jaw. It clearly doesnt hurt the fish just like piercing a ear but internet keyboard warriors were quick to whine about my fingers poking thru the existing holes. Everyone is a critic. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/05/full-107866-12410-thumbnail_img_0027.jpg) Those holes make it easier to hold all five with two hands!  Good catch for that area. Hell...any area for that matter.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Fish brains cannot interpret pain like higher mammals. I mean they know something is going on obviously but they cannot feel pain so to speak. Nice bag sir!
When I am not fishing I am thinking about fishing. And mostly what I should have done differently my last trip!

I lived in Red Oak before moving to Lake Fork 25 yrs ago. I miss some of those SW Iowa lakes. Green Valley was know for having big fish, as well as Burchard in SE Nebraska. caught my first couple of fish over 7 lbs in those 2 lakes.

Not to mention the usual 20 fish days.

Any advice for Brushy Creek? I’m up here in Fort Dodge for work. Go to the wed? night weekly tourney weigh in at the ramp. They do a 3 bass pm tourney. Brushy has some nice fish I fished a club event up there and caught a bunch of 4-5 lbers in a few spots but come tourney day couldnt find them.

How much weight did you have?? 24 something My scale in the boat had it at 24.89 but I think the official one was 24.5 something I wasnt really paying that much attention and I ALWAYS act like I been there a million times before no matter what so I was just trying to help everyone else get their fish bagged and weighed etc. 36 or 38 after the second half day

Isn't that a little dangerous lipping critters up in the great white North? Serious bag anywhere but especially Iowa and congrats on the successful execution.
