Don't feel too bad Smitty. You weren't the first WBC member to do that. You pulled a D ick McElhinney.
They used to draw Potholes down that far every year in the 80's and early 90's. D ick shoved his boat WAAAAAY back up Crab Creek one year - most likely the exact same spot you did! (I presume you turned that bend and it got shallow real fast, didn't it?)
Would've loved to be there guys. Fishing Potholes when it's that low brings back great memories. It really concentrates the fish and makes it super fun! I hope there were many limits brought in. That makes it a great tournament!
The WBT tournament was a blast, but very, very tough fishing. There wasn't much I could do, as the rules prohibited me from helping her. However, I did go out with a buddy to do some striper and hybrid fishing. Really different kind of fishing than what we see here, with fish breaking all over the place as they school up on the shad. It's exciting to see them doing it, but really frustrating to try to get them to bite.
I also got to go out fishing on a differerent lake, catching bass in the hydrilla as you skipped a frog across the surface. What a blast!
But the tournament - really cool. Well organized. Lot's of wrapped boats and trucks. Exciting to be a part of it.
Just too bad it was the same weekend as Potholes. Would've loved to be there and see the best anglers of the state duke it out. Congrats to not only the top 5, but to everyone who brought fish to the weigh-in. I know most, if not all of you, haven't seen Potholes like that, so it's a victory to have figured it out and caught a few.
