Mr. Douchet,

Excellent job on the river!  For those of you who weren't there, Jordan snatched the victory away from all of us 'river rats,' with the help of a big brutis largie.

 

I personally thought the tournament was tough!!  I would have rather not pre-fished this one, because the water levels were so different from one week to the next that it looked and acted like an entirely different body of water.  The lower river was chocolate milk, and the upper river had sagebrush in 5 feet of water!  I couldn't adjust and only wound up with 10lbs, and probably ran 140 miles in my boat.  Good job Jordan, and to the others who did well, my hats off to you!

Nice work C-Ride and Jordan...I heard you guys landed a 7 pound hawg largie!
Hi Guys,

Thanks for the props. The entire day went exactly to plan and it was definitely one of those days when we could do no wrong. We caught fish dropshotting, throwing senkos and punching matted reeds. Also nice work to Mike Wolsy for weighing that monster bag by himself and to Echternkamp and Kromm for yet another consistent catch.

Here are a few pics we took after weigh in:

Awesome job Jordan and Chris!! Feel free to keep that styling lucky life jacket Jordan! :)
Hell of a job guys !! Nice fat Largemouth.
Congratulations guys that is an impressive bag. Nice to see someone figured them out.
Jordan that is a PIG! Lets here the story behind that one please. I could only imagine how stoked you were catching a largie like that in a NWB tourney=)

Good job J !!! those are some hawgs you boyz got into ... :-)
Congratulations Jordan and Chris! What a bag, and nice Mama Pesce! I only wish you were in a different flight so we could have won big bass with Mike's 5+ smallie.

We gambled we could catch a mixed bag ourselves, but we didn't count on the Snake getting blown out. Nonetheless, Mike stuck his big smallie on the first spot we fished on the Snake which gave us false confidence we could get a few more bites, and finish up with 2 largemouths. The falling water shut down our largemouth bite, after only getting one, so we ended up short of even getting a limit. At least we had fun finally getting to fish a tourney in nice weather.

ciao,

We did the same thing Marc. Our first spot was dirty as hell. I caught a 2 and a 3+ in the first few minutes and gained that same false confidence. We had no contingency plan for dirty water and barely got 5 fish.

Dirty water? You must of been fishing by us! Oh wait you were....we ran up river after we talked, and found a slough with crystal clear water, but all my fish on beds were either caught or gone. This is two years in a row this has happened with the water coming way up for the tournament. It's hard to adjust with no prefish experience in the same conditions. It's to bad conditions didn't stay the same from the previous weekend, because we all would have all had limits by 6am in that slough! Congrats Jordan and Chris, at least you guys figured out you needed to get out of that spot early. Nice 5lb smallie Mike!

We did the same thing Chad. After we left we went up river and found clear water as well. You were right however about the fish being gone from the beds and they were boxed up. I watched somone we all know put 3 or 4 good ones in his livewell while we were there. Those fish moved up and made beds quickly because that water wasn't even there until Wednesday. Ironically the only fish I caught came from under Rider's boat as he and Jordan were pulling away. I think that place is going to come uncorked this week. I am hoping to go back down there this weekend.
