Default Topwater Bassers on Merrill Creek... Our 1st WIN

Riz, I saw you mentioned that Topwater has some opens. Me and the wife happen to catch that Topwater Bassers were holding their annual 4th of July Merrill Creek Open buddy tourney. We never fished with them before,(What a GREAT bunch of guy's) but decided it would be nice to hit Merrill Creek anyway. Well wouldn't ya know it, the cards were in our favor that day, and me and my wife got "OUR 1ST TOURNAMENT WIN" in a 30 boat field. It was such a great feeling to get that first win, something we will never forget. Here are a couple pics. Also, once I stop being so lazy, I will upload the pics from our season so far, cause I don't know about anyone else, but I love looking at pictures of the fish people catch.

Awesome! Guess you figured out that place

What did the bag go and was the large mouth the lunker? What did she go.

Thanks guy's. Cant remember exactly the weight, but it was 14LBS and change. The LM my wife caught was 4.9lbs, and was beat out with one just over 5lbs. A GREAT day all in all for sure.

That is awesome there Rich. I am also lucky enough to have a wife that likes to fish and we fish together all the time. Never competitively though...I'm not good enough for that kind of pressure.

Congrats on the win. Maybe we'll see you out on the water sometime.
