What a fun day on the water. The bite remains good on Green Bay. A lot of fish in that 20-22" class. Hopefully a few survive to grow old. Had a couple hours to get out and sniff around to check some water before Battle on the Bay. Ended up finishing 20th out of 120 teams. Weighed 29.08
Scott Hausauer and I made some good decisions in the event. Fished the seasonal patterns and winds accordingly. Ended up hitting four different spots. Last spot gave us a 1.5 pound upgrade. Sad part is i was bassing the fish in like Kvd thinking it was not going to help us. Lol
Like most at the top it was a matter of one or two more big bites to change the game and make that jump. We fished clean and always are talking/thinking of the next spot or presentation while out there. All in all it was a good time. Some times a win is not the first place trophy or a big check with your name on it.
I know Scott and i both walk away with knowledge, experience, data and more importantly. A great memory of what fun it can be to fish. How much it takes a good partner to help lift a person up or build the confidence in the day. Support one another in decisions and make it more about the day rather then the competition. We dont worry about what others are doing. Or how others are catching fish or what others may have caught for the day. We go out every event with our own goals. Our own plan. Do we accomplish it. Most cases no. But when you think positive and work positively at it. Results will come. Team Reese's only mistake this weekend was not having any Reese's in the boat.π€¦ββοΈ
People laugh about it. However its the one thing that helps us laugh and keep it positive and breaks the day into such a simple life pleasure.
Always fun seeing old friends at events and just reminiscing over the past years hunts and fishing stories with good people.
We are hungry for the cass lake event in the middle of September. Fun days left this summer and i hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy some time on the water with a friend or family member. Team Reese's
