JSB (Junior Senior Banquet) was ..... .............. um... The banquet was good but my table was HORRIBLE
I forgot to turn in the sheet that had a request on who to sit with....yeah....i got stuck with 3 foriegn exchange students, two outside guests that i have no clue who they were, the only person i knew at the table was a girl who is in my anatomy class, she was on the other end and it was hard to have a conversation while being surrounded with people i dont know/dont spend time with.
The banquet itself was great. The Juniors did a GREAT job of honoring my class for the last time. I was escourted in by a junior girl, she was nice, then i about freaked out when she took my to my table. As we walked in they talk about you. I cant remember what they said (I'll get the DVD next week) but it was something like "Thanks for being the leader we need and being a friend when we needed a friend..."
Now to the good stuff....
The tournament today.
1. I fished my first tournament the first saturday of my 8th grade year at Lake Fuqua
2. I fished my last tournament as a highschool student the last saturday of my 12th grade year at Lake Fuqua.
Kinda cool. Before going into the tournament I won the first tournament there, and the next time we fished it i finished 2nd.
After today....lol....my streak (if you want to call it that) is over. I finished 2nd from last with 1.5 pounds. Last place was the guy who won Angler of the Year for the last 5 consecutive years and a good friend of mine, he blanked.
I learned a new method of fishing today that i'm gaining more confidence in. Carolina Rigging.
This morning I hooked 3 short fish (all about 1/2 inche shy of being a keeper) right off the bat. I thought it might be a decent day. Those were the only bites i got until 12:45 (weigh in was 1:30......NEVER EVER GIVE UP!!!!!). I hooked a fish on a carolina rig (my first real carolina rig fish). About 3 minutes later i got bit again on the C-rig but didnt hook the fish.
Nothing was working from the other day prefishing and i had done what i do when i get in a pinch and that wasnt working (Pointers off rock banks, flipping jigs in the grass, etc.). I've been wanting to try a C-rig so i tied one on just to give it a try and it saved me from getting skunked.
