My neighbor Eric (Snakebite) asked me to go fishing with him in the morning, I already had my fishing license but hadn't been fishing yet this year. I got up at 0400 and we left sometime after 0600. Sharon went to and we stopped to get some bait, There were sure a lot of boats heading North that morning and when we got to Lake Machickanee there were lots of people and more boats coming then we found out that there was a Bass Tournament going on there. I had never fished there before and don't own a boat so I just fished from shore. I put a minnow on one pole and threw it out then told Sharon I was going to go down a ways by the weeds and work a Night Crawler, I had just cast the crawler and Sharon said I had a bite on the minnow so I told her to take care of it and She reeled in a nice Channel Catfish. I kept getting hits on the crawler and suspected it was Bass and after several more crawlers I finally hooked one a Very Nice 5 pound Large Mouth Bass pictured above. I caught several more Bass and after 2 hours we were ready to head home. Everyone remarked that I probably won the Bass Tournament! HaHa No $20,000.00 Bass Boat just an old $20.00 fishing pole and a Night Crawler.
