R-Report- Speaking of the big one take us back to that moment. Tell us in your own words the real deal, how it went down that day. Paint a picture if you will.
Rocket- ...AH!Yes!..The "BIG ONE"that was a great fish,a once in a lifetime fish,but not really,actually,my partner "COOLY",had found this fish,and a few more ,just like it,he had been out a couple of weeks,before,just fun fishin,with his Dad,and come across these big fish,anyways,the day of the tourney,started out fantastic,Cooly banged a couple of 4lbders.,right off the get-go,then I added,a couple of more good ones,I think it was about 9:30 or 10,and we already had,four good fish,that weighed,about 12 to 13 lbs,we guessed,then Cooly says,so ROCKET,do you want to make History,and I didn't really pay too much attention,to what he had said,anyways,he says,drop your bait right in there,by that little clump of floating weed,and hang -on,I sort of chuckled a little,and said,YA!RIGHT!I no sooner had dropped my bait down,and "Whack"just like someone,had tied,a cement block on the end of my line,all I could do was yell "BIG FISH","BIG FISH",Cooly came flyin to the front with the net,bustin my Flippin Stick on the way,as I have the bad habit ,of leaving rods,all over the boat,with one swoop of the net,he had the Giant fish,we both ,sort of just looked at it,and I said ,maybe 6...Cooly says.I'll bet she's over 7,we put the fish in the live-well,and after we had both calmed down,we got the scale out,she was 7.9,on my scale,that sort of got a yell out of both of us,all this took a matter of about 10 mins.anyways,it was great holding up the Record Bass at weigh-in,and I hope,if anyone who reads this,has any pics of this fish,that maybe,I could get a couple of copies...Thanks
