You can’t win em’ all! We fished from 6AM-8PM without stopping! It was a slow pick! We got our fish but just couldn’t find that kicker fish to put the icing on the cake! It happens! This could’ve ended differently if there wasn’t so much shared information on the water. We were in first most of the day but got knocked into 3rd place by a father daughter team, I’m proud of them as they fished all day the same amount of time we did! They got us by .02 ounces! That little girl has heart man, I’m amazed!!! The first place dude, ahhhhhhh, I don’t know him for shit! But he got us by .40 ounces. Grrrrrrrrr, LOL!!! We needed a 6.3 ounce fish to win but the fish kept getting smaller as the day went on. Total fish caught between myself and Cap’n Mikey Topaz, about 30 fish between 3.5-6.30 lbs. We’ll beat his ass next year like we beat his ass last year!!! Oh, we’ll be back, that’s for sure! LOL!!! TIGHT LINEZ! “THIS, IS STILL WHAT WE DO!!!”:D

P.S. We’re not too happy with this 3rd place finish at all! See you on th grounds next year!!! Hehehehehehe!!!!:mad:

Blehhh.... These tournament are always a bunch of fun. Just sucks to put all that time in for some loose lips to screw it all up. All morning three boats working the same area all guys that put their time in prefishin this place for last month and half, then 6 boats come flying around the point and are up our ass all day:mad: big congrats to the father daughter team they prefished the hell outta that place you deserve the win! That's a great memory that little girl will never forget:)

Those words I just read sure show the competitive spirit blazing. Best to you Eddie coming in 1st next year. You did real well! It can be so spotty fishing hybrids this time of year anyway, am I right?

I like your mindset Eddie.

Good work to team topaz and the other two places above that had the guts to compete with the best hybrid anglers in the USA.

Team Topaz put a lot of time into pre-fishing the lake and it shows. Heard a lot of guys came up empty while these guys put 30 fish in the boat!

Hard work and great effort! You guys certainly have the hybrids dialed in. Big numbers of fish, guys! Fantastic.

if it makes you feel any better, the last 3 times i've gone there, i got just 2 fish total haha...what can you do, always luck involved. NJ lakes are too small, no secrets stay secrets for long. maybe i'll get a real boat and beat you guys next year :rolleyes:
