We upgraded our unders a couple times throughout the day but were unable to find another over. At the end of day one, and some tough fishing throughout the tournament for everyone, we were inside the top 40 and less than 4 pounds out of the money...A big day on day 2 and we would have been golden....Alas, it was not to be as the fishing seemed to shut right off for us. Our spots were not producing so we moved, we tried different methods, the only fish we caught were red zoned including one 55 and 1/10 cm....bottom part of the tail juuuuuust over...so back she goes. heartbreaking. We caught a couple red zones and finally landed a decent eye for the tourney but was too little too late and we dropped to around the middle of the pack and that is where we finished. All in all a great experience though and one i wont soon forget...Been thinking about it non stop since sunday....lot's of what if's LOL. Way she goes.....Cheers.

We were all pulling for you BUT sometimes the fish don't cooperate and there's nothing you can do. I bet it was a exciting tournament to be a part of and probably taught you something.
Locals usually win these things. They get the benefit of fishing the lake in all conditions, water temps, times of year and know the lake better too.
Thanks for the update - I'm glad you had a blast.
