OUCH
« on: Feb 22, 2004, 02:32 PM »
This weekend I went to a fishing turney in Valier MT.  There were 4 paying positions.  1st, 2nd, and 3rd heaviest Northerns, and 1st for combanation weight of 3 perch.  We were having a hot day on the perch and ended up with 5 that we're over a pound.  The guys who were fishing next to me told me to get those things in and weighed up since the weigh in was only open another half hour.  I had done every thing I can imagine to keep them from losing any weight.  Made a live well in the ice, kept changing water,  even kept them in the shade.  I got them in by the skin of my teeth.  And after the offical weigh in......I had lost by .o1 of an OUNCE.  What hurts is that one of the fish I used had swolled a treble hook pretty deep.  I like an idiot got it out.  If I had cut the line I would have won $250 as it turned out I got a pat on the back and a "damn that was close".  All in all I've got a great story, lots of great fish, and a $250 treble hook in my tackle box.  By the way there were 503 registered fisherperson for the tourney.  I guess 2nd isn't that bad.

That was a close one, but like everyone already said, job well done. Think about the people that did'nt even get to weigh fish in because they got skunked ??? Anyway, it's probably better that you pulled the treble hook out . The way your luck was going they would have found it and you would of had a lot of angry mother ****ers. Honesty is the best policy. ;D
