Well back in the 90's I blew my powerhead on my boat and had some guide trips lined up up,so a friend of mine Mark Tatum let me borrow his boat for the trips.He had Cowboy's Randy Whites old Skeeter boat with the walk around console,I picked the boat up and replaced a couple of batteries.And was able to take out my people on the lake Fork guide trips.So I offered to take Mark out fishing on Labor Day for being nice enough to lend me his boat when I was in need.The first hole we pulled up on I casted a jig out and caught (2) 8 lb. bass in back to back cast,and said Mark you should fish the McDonald's Tournament and this would be a great place to fish it.He thought about it for a while and decided he would give it a try.So the day of the tournament he had his boat pulled up by his trailer and started his motor and the warning horn went off.So he droped his trolling motor down and began casting a DD22 fireTiger crankbait.20 minutes later he lands a 13.52 lb. bass which at the time was the largest bass ever to win a bass tournament in Texas!"Moral of the story nice things happen to nice people!"

Good one !

I'm just about the nicest guy you will ever meet...how bout some GPS coords so I can win the Big Bass Splash next week!

Mark caught that bass out of 6 ft. of water so that spot would be dry land now...

Good stuff.

Very true! Good story.

That is a good one Tony!

One that sticks out in my mind is the Oklahoma highway patrolman that caught a high 15lber in the McDonalds...was disqualified because his wife was in the boat reading a book and not registered for the tournament. Epic Fail

Ouch

Some people are just destined to WIN.

Want to borrow my boat Tony?

That's awesome dude!

Nice tale...

I remember that one, he never read the fine print on the entry form

Nice Story
