The Big Fish Story: The night before, we had hit seven smallies within minutes just after sundown on the edge of the reeds in eight foot water. Some two, three and one four-pounder. Nice way to end the day. Noon the following day, a bluebird day in late June, we couldn't hit anything bigger than rock bass. It was post-spawn but many fish were still hanging in the shallows. Many we could see but not entice to follow on either Texas-rigged crawlers or crankbaits. It seemed like everything had changed. In frustration, we moved out to about six foot water and began casting into a different patch of reeds with single-bladed spinners. On the third cast the rod bent and nearly jumped out of my hands. Brought her up to the boat only to watch her dive and strip line a half dozen times before we were able to net what was to be a personal best smallie for me and biggest bass of the week for the group.

The BerkleyBigFish Grand Prize Winner will be chosen in January 2009 from the 12 BerkleyBigFish Finalists. Finalists are not eligible for a second seat in the final 12 and cannot compete in additional monthly Abu Garcia® Leader-Board Challenges with any entries.

You know what I think would be the coolest thing – after all 12 finalist are picked, and the overall winner is chosen in January of 09, BBF has a cocktail party the night before the Lucky Winner hits the water with Mr. Parker and ALL the category winners are there and finally meet, now THAT would be cool and something I would really look forward to. Any feed back?
