August 10.2013 First Place!! 67lbs


August 10.2013
Today will live with me forever. I had my wonderful dad and girlfriend JJ, and two good buddies Brandon and Chris together to fish the Chesapeake Bay Cobia Classic. We set out with a positive attitude. The water was a little ...choppy, but nothing the weather man said to expect. It wasn't long before we got our first fish on; a solid catch. Throughout the next few hours we caught a few more nice sized fish, but we knew they weren't going to be tournament contenders. Later on in the day the conditions got right and we finally had our shot at a really nice fish. Brandon battled it out and landed him. We were ecstatic. We knew we now had a chance in the tournament. It was smiles all around. We then wanted JJ to catch a fish for the ladies division. We spotted a nice fish and JJ was ready! JJ fought her fish and after a little tiff she managed to get it in the boat and we were confident for her in the ladies category! We headed in with hopes high. On the way in we ran into a torrential down-pour and thunderstorm. We ended up making it in in great timing and weighted our fish. We were very fortunate with the fierce completion and our 67lber took first place and winning the Calcutta! JJ's fish was the largest of the ladies at 49lb! Overall it was an unforgettable day!
