Speaking of irrelevant reports... Sorta. Didn't want to post due to a up coming Sonoma derby I was thinking about fishing in.

Kings island, 1 fish going into the last 15 minutes.
Lucky cast at the bridge on my way in produced a 5.6.
Two casts to 5 casts later a 3+ Around the bridge.
Good enough to bump me up to 4th, which earned me 5 valuable AOY points that I eventually gave back in the next event.

Moral of the story.
Fish hard until the end and have fun while doing it.
Including the first day of beacon.
That makes 3 tournaments in a row that I caught fish in the power hour that made a huge difference.

Side note.
Didn't end up making it to the Sonoma event.
Boat issues.
Turns out Matt Nyri won it, catching most all his fish off of the bridge.
