The river was a little high 4.8 feet at bent creek va. And a little stained we found fish in slower moving water. Overall fishing was good. With a slow presentation. It was our first club tournament of the year we managed a fist place trophy.

Only had an hour to go out n try and stick one and told myself I'll make 3 more casts then I'll head home and this one ate on the second to last cast. Of course I didn't have a scale with me when I catch the biggest bass of my life
