yeah and considering the water being cold still, the weather playing tricks and that many people pounding the water, your talking a tough spring tourney! anyone that fishes bass tourneys around here knows how tough it can be in the spring. Now i don't know if it's always that tough, but i'll tell ya what, a 5.5lb fish is a dam big one. Sounds like they either need some structure/cover in there or a better regulation on keeping them! Sounds like it was a fun event either way!
