TOPIC:

We pre fished Friday morning in 3-4ftrs and ended up with 3 steelhead and lost a laker. On Saturday waves where about the same we ended up with 2 steelhead and a couple misses not exactly what we were looking for to weigh in the tournament. Sunday started out as the calmest day of the 3 but that soon changed before we knew it we where fishing 3-4ftrs again that ended up building to 5ft+ before they called the tournament at 11am. We ended up with 2 steelhead again and a few missed bites. The fish we did catch came on mostly spoons anywhere from 20-75ft down in 80-130fow. We just couldn't get the kings to bite it seemed that teams either did really good or really bad and we happened to fall into the really bad category. It was a rough weekend on the water with the less than ideal wave conditions and slow fishing but all in all we had a great time at our favorite tournament the BIG RED CLASSIC!

Over 30 on pro side and over 50 on am side there was over 80 boats total it is a very well run tournament and our favorite. They feed you each day starting on Friday with 2 kegs of beer and a chicken dinner at the captains meeting,pulled pork on Saturday and brats on Sunday plus they give you a really nicely filled captains bag. It is definitely a tournament to check out if you are thinking about traveling for one next year.

Hey Joe & crew. Wish you guys had better wave conditions. I bet you guys were exhausted. Lookes like a great tourney. Might have to do it next year.

Looks like tough conditions for sure. Did I see another broken rigger arm? I have the same ones and I'm hoping this isn't a weak point.

Tough conditions for sure. Ouch on the Big Jon Boom. Had that happen before as we rockin pretty good one day. Good luck to you fellas!!!

Even though fishing and waves where rough it was a great tournament and I would definitely recommend giving it a try!
