Day two, fourth flight, due back at 4:00pm. Another cold morning. I drew Marc Marcantonio, a gentleman, scholar, and heck of a fisherman. We headed south to the Gorge to some spots he had got a decent limit the day before. We fished along side Andy Cuccia most of the day.  We fished from 20-40 feet deep on a ledge that extended out from a rip rap bank. Marc had one fish early and got a solid 3 later on. I had one short fish until 3pm. At 3pm, I caught a solid keeper, split shotting a 4" worm. I proceeded to get a 3.5lb smallie soon thereafter. On the last cast of the day I caught a squeaker, threw him in the box, and headed for weigh-in. I was really pleased to have gotten 3 keeper bites. Cameron, who weighed in before me, took this picture of me on stage
Cameron only had one bite that day. It turned out to be a 5lb largemouth. One of only a handful of largemouths caught, and certainly the biggest. Look for him holding that fish on t.v. He missed big fish by only a couple of ounces. (Won by Brent Ehrler!)
Marc Marcantonio as it turned out is a great contact I made. An extremely business savvy angler. We exchanged business cards and have been in contact via email.
