On July 8th, I fished the American Bass Tournament on Clear Lake.  My partner Bill and I caught 30 plus bass all in the 2lb range.  These were our two big fish.   The big one on the right went 4.11lb.   The one on the left I caught and was 3+ lbs.   We weighed in 14.53lbs of fish and finished 31st.   The winning team had 27 lbs of fish.  

 

 

This Largemouth Bass is not quite a wall hanger.  It weighed in at 2.2lbs.   It was the largest out of 8 bass I caught this day.  The fish was caught on a fishing a senko as a wacky worm.  

I caught 4 fish, weighing approximately 12.5lbs.   The big fish went close to 5 pounds.   Working top water with buzz bait, sammy and spook.  

Tommy struggled to catch fish.   Only getting 2  fish, weighing approximately 3lbs. Tommy lost 3 including snapping his line on what would have been the big fish of the day.

Taking Bassmaster II, I now have a record of 1-0-1 in the series.   Saturday will be Bassmaster III.

 

 

I fished with the local bass club in their Lake Sonoma Tournment.   I drew Gene, who happens to be a great fisherman.   Gene is pictured here with his big fish a 6.18lb large mouth taken on a wacky worm in the main lake.   This fish helped Gene and I win the tournament.  One tournament entered, one tournament won.   Perhaps I should retire now with a perfect record…..or maybe not.  

 

Fishing for Smallmouth Bass on the Russian River, I got numerous smaller bait fish.
