LAPRBASS Potomac Series Tournament - Part 2

Steve had professional shirts made for the
team. Way cool, we are playing with
the big dogs now! Sponsors, yes sir
ree, and before you know it Steve may be
getting a boat and truck wrap. I think
it should be the Washington Capitals, and
Steve should negotiate this into his next
year's contract, along with a jersey signed
by Alex Ovechkin for Mr. Burchick. |
 |
The ecotone edge (where differing
habitats interface) of grass and open
water can be very productive. |
 |
I'm melting . . . about this time in the
afternoon, I was seriously thinking
about going for a swim, especially as we
watched occasional recreational boaters
with tow-behind tubes, jet-ski's and sun
bathers on small beaches. |
 |
Put a tag on her and stick her in the
live-well. |
 |
This heron got mad after I caught the
fish, as we were obviously working his
stretch of water. |
 |
I've never been to a weigh-in. Way
cool. We saw a goodly number
of monster five thru eight pound bass.
I think today's winner had a bag
weighing nearly 20-pounds with each of
his five fish coming in at around
4-pounds each! |
 |
You bring your fish in a bag, rest them
in aerated, cool water in tubs, and they
get dry weighed on scales, which is then
recorded. You are allowed to bring
your five largest, largemouth bass.
They must be alive and after weigh-in,
we are responsible to walk them to the
dock and release them back into the
Potomac River.
The five highest weight bags take home
checks that exceed $6,000 and the
cumulative boat weights apply toward a
season finale, big pay-off that
considers series numbers and Champion
play-off totals. |
 |
Steve, thanks for a great day on the
water and exposure to tournament
fishing. I look forward to my one
or two other tournament days
through the course of this summer. |
 |
Nice park too. |
