Fished a club tournament on Lake LBJ and thought I'd have a good chance at winning big fish. After running all the way up river and getting to my spot, I came across a very nice, fat, healthy bass and got it in the boat. I was pumped. But another competitor showed up to the area and went straight to what was supposed to be my next spot. He threw right into the zone and landed a pretty good bass too, similar in size to mine.
After working the area over, I started working my way back toward weigh-in and caught several more fish along the way. When it was all said and done, I came in 2nd and came up just short for big bass - the other guy's fish just topped mine at the scales. Oh well. A good effort, and 2nd place ain't a bad day.
