First of all congrats to Jeff for locking up the win also Pepito and Scott for rounding out the top 3.
Day 1: Made my way to Bethel. Got my first bite punching a reaper near the second opening, BF day one. Had one more in the boat until the final hour. Scrounged out a limit on senkos and was sitting in 2nd going in to day 2.
Day 2: Portholed!, went to bed at 3a.m... Briefly woke up to a knock on my window (Thank you Gil for trying) and shut my eyes again because I knew I had two alarms set. Slept through the alarms some how and woke up at 7:30 to Scott pounding on my window. The frustration for getting a late start quickly turned in to motivation as I was getting ready to get in the water. I still felt like I had a chance to win, that was until I relized the back plate where my livewell sits was MIA. Several trips back and forth to the campsites, retracing my steps, produced nothing. Kinda hard to fish in a tournament with out a livewell. I drove home with my tail between my legs and took a nap. Woke up to take the boat out of the truck only to find that leaving it fully inflated in 105' heat busted the seam and had the bladder popping out like a F*$^# up PIECE OF $#!T! So there goes that. I'll be finishing the remainder of my final full season with one yellow and one blue pontoon. Thanks to Pepito for lending me his old ones.
Now, I know where Scott is coming from because I was also part of that scenario and honestly, I felt the same way for a short time, more dissapointed than angry. What pisses me off the most though is that I screwed myself out of AOY , and that is nobodys fault but mine.
I had another great time at the Port Hole with the other brave souls who I had the pleasure to share drinks with.
p.s. Since I was acting tournament director and every body launched with out checking in with me, they were not aware that I changed the launch and weigh in times. If they did wait for me then they would all not be disqualified. Therefore I win by default!!! Mitch please update the AOY standings accordingly. t(._.t) ;-)
