B.A.S.S Highschool Championship Win - 20I5 - Sturgeon Lake



Well... What a week/weekend! My and Danny went up to Sturgeon Lake a week before to pre fish for our Highschool tournament to try and make it to the states again this year. We spent all week from pretty much sun up to sun down, finding and eliminating a bunch of water. In total of the 4 days we pre fished, we only stung one fish, and it was painful, lol.. It was finally nice to start stinging them today! Our coach was David Chong. In the morning we fished smallies, caught a few dinks before 8Ish, we stuck around for a bit and started to hook into some good fish. Danny caught two good ones on a popper, and i got a smaller on on a jerk bait. We gave it till I0 and moved from the spot to go try and find some largess we had shook off from our pre fish. We fished this one stretch of docks we had some fish on, but we couldn't get them to go. We ended up going to our second spot, a stretch of beautiful looking docks with slop pushed right up to shore and against the docks. I was throwing a one ounce tungsten with a brown/Gold flake tube and punching it right through the matts beside the docks and letting it soak for a while. We came up to a nice, deeper dock, covered with slop and i had a good feeling. punched my tube into the slop about 3 feet from the dock and and let it soak for a long time..... Shaking it, bouncing it off the top of the slop, Deadsticking it, and finally THUMP, Danny grabbed the net and net it as the hook popped out right when it got in the net. We were pumped.. At this point we had 3 decent smallies, a decent largemouth, and now we were trying to get rid of the I3 incher.. We had some frog fish so we ran across the lake. It wasn't as good as we thought and was starting to get worried. We kept fishing our butts of and Danny had a 2 and change explode on his horney toad. We continued to fish till it was time to go in, didn't cull again, but was enough to take the win! Me and Danny would like to thank our parents for helping us out with everything, my dad getting my boat done just in time for pre fish, Our coach David Chong, and our high school director Doug Fergoson and MANY more, You guys rock! This tournament qualified Danny and myself to fish the B.A.S.S Highschool Championship on Kentucky Lake on the 22nd of July, and get to go to conneticut to represent Team Ontario,
WE ARE PUMPED
