I caught these fish in a junior club tournament yesterday. I finished in first place with 8.21 pounds total. Big bass was 3.56. It was bigger than it looks because I am not a big fan of the hold your fish at arms length to make it look like a 9 pounder trick . I had never been to the lake before last weekend, but I liked it and had a lot of fun. Good luck!

I was at the weigh-in, lots of junior anglers brought in fish. I think they had 4 overs total and one by a 6 year old girl.
Great job Alec!

Nice bag of fish. You'll have to work on the "Roland Martin" pose for the pics.

Good job junior...I sure could of used just one of those lil fish and I would of got first in my tourney...just couldnt catch a small fish out there. I had 3 fish that went for a lil over 10...big bass was over 5. Lake is alot better then it use to be. And by the way maybe if you held those out at 3 arms lengths they would look like 9 pounders...i would of helped! lol

Thanks guys!! It was a blast!
Mr. Dillard- Thats true... Maybe if I held it out it would look like a 5 pounder.
michealworley- Yeah I won with a little over 8. I was surprised too. I thought maybe in the top five, but everyone else seemd to have a hard day. I have seen some guys on here that did better, though.
Cameron- I will be there!

This is just a lesson to the young angler Bassin Boy...you posted your pics but took shots at guys and how they hold there fish. What was wrong with just posting your fish? In the sport of bass fishing always remember one thing...be humble even when you win...the moment you get cocky is the moment that you get your tail spanked by the guy you were cocky to. Just something to think about...and you won a junior tourney with 8.21...so now you can take shots at guys? This is what I was doing at your age and I didnt fish against juniors...I fished against the big boys...and WON! But I was always humble. Take it for what it is worth but in the future let guys worry about how they hold there fish and worry about holding yours...you just better hope that if I am ever in a tourney line behind you that they are alot bigger than that.

....oh by the way.....Dillard. I've met you before and you are anything BUT humble. All you do is brag about this and that....I had to pull my hat down over my eyes and act like I was sleeping just to get you to stop clammering. Hell, look at what you posted on this thread ("just couldnt catch a small fish out there"....????) C'mon man. Telling the kid "I sure could of used just one of those lil fish and I would of got first in my tourney"....how is that being humble? Us older guys are somewhat of a role model for the junior anglers so use your powers for good. Just because you've caught bigger fish doesn't give you the right to teach someone a lesson in a public forum.....so now that I've taught you one. How does it feel?
