I then decided to see what was happening in Chris pond. Saw a few guys I know that had a few so stopped there for a while by where the water flows out. Nothing for me so I kept walking. Eventually after a long time of jigging I still haven't caught anything so I decided to walk around the big lake to see what's up. 98% of the people had no fish.
So after I walk all the way around I go back to a corner in Chris pond where I saw some nice lightnings swimming. I was using a Drews custom baits cricket colored mini jig. Made a few casts and landed a nice little 1 pounder. Made just a few more casts and Boom! Hooked up to a fatty. Just starts to run and I ask some guys if they can help me net it. Well after walking up and down the shore for a good 10-15inutes I finally got it in and instantly went to weigh it in. Weighed in at 6 pounds 13 ounces! Long story short it was the biggest of the day and I won the tournament with just a 6 pounder. I was stoked. I ended up getting 800$ but bought a Phenix and a Ci4 in the silent auction for a heck of a deal.
The overall bite was just incredibly slowww. Only saw probably 25 fish caught all day. Water was just way to warm. Ended up with just 2 fish for the day but 1 of those happened to be the winner. All the staff members put on an excellent tournament. Tons of great prizes that got given away. Thanks to Wes from ProdigyFishing for making everything turn out great. Had a fun long day.
Tightlines,
KT
