We fished the Bassin for Babies Tournament of Fork yesterday. We had 5 Unders / 10.12 and thought we might have a chance since Media the weekend before produced none. And, all I can say is Wow! There were Six Overs brought in. What a day. We had an 8#, 22.5" eat a Yellow Magic. Close as we got. I had them eating a Topwaters all day. Our best 5 slots probably would have gone around 26#+. Fork is on.

It is ON and has been for a while. We have been catching some really nice one's for several weeks now. The deep bite is strong and the cranks are doing good also. What was the biggest over and the smallest over ?

Fork is on! Heard it was a great weigh in. Dillon is a class act and puts on a great event for a great purpose. Hope everyone comes back next year and tells a friend too. The more the merrier!

10#+ was big bass. James, my son and I have got to book a trip with you sometime to learn a little bit about deep fishing. We caught all of our fish shallow and this is the way I grew up fishing and know what to do. I'll take my chance any day on Fork with 10+ in Unders, but when I have them by 9:00 and I can't catch one deep with a chance for an Over, I loose confidence in it.

6 overs in the tourney yesterday is still a hard pill for me to swallow, but it is Fork and there were over 100 boats in it. Great tourney and hope to do it again next year!!!!

We fished it too and had a blast. We only had 3 unders but caught nice slots all day. My brother law fished with me and he does not bass fish much. We did'nt even weigh in our fish because we figured 2 pounds of fish was not even going to come close to a check. Our cut-off time was at 2:45 and he caught his personal best at 2:55, don't know the exact weight but it was an over at 24.5 inches! We fished until 5:30 and our best five fish went between 24 to 26 pounds. He his hooked on Fork now and he is going to fish this tournament with me next year.

Pake and I only weighed in 4 dinks but had a blast. We caught a bunch of fish from 16 1/2 - 22 inches. I'm going to have to shift my way of fishing and try and target some good chunky unders if we fish any more tournaments on Fork. A big thanks to Dillon Lee, Mark Howard, Barry, Kathy and Ernie of Oak Ridge all the staff and sponsors for putting on a good event. More importantly, I believe they said they raised $8,000 for the March of Dimes. Great job all, and congradulations to the winners!

We fished it. Only has a little over 7 pounds, but caught fish all day. Had around 15 unders, just couldn't find the right unders. Had a lot of nice slots also. Great day overall.

I agree it was a well run T - will definitely be there next year. We caught lots of Slots no real big ones, keepers were hard to come by.
Are the results posted anywhere?
