Two fish is better than none. Is it a pro-am event Milo or strickly pro? The first bass tournament of the year on our local lake takes place Sunday. Still unsure if son and I will fish it. Water still 40 degrees. Last year at this tourny we had a 12.40 bag, good enough for second and lunker at 5.2 pounds but temps were up to around 50. Good luck out there tomorrow.<br />Tightlines Flathead

Kickem some butt Milo. Most of us fish for fun but I'm not that good to put money on the line. Hats off to you and on being able to do both .

ok lousy day rain hail lightning trust me the worst weather conditions one could ask for BUT!! 4 Sauger total 9.65lb missed the cut by 2.23 lb but was asked to team up with another pro well off home and back in Ohio in a few weeks. Fishing for money gonefishin is tough work. Today I drove about 1/2 hour down river to fish a deep hole and it did work out my biggest of the day should have went there yesterday. Never fished this river before might do it again any of you fished the river

Way to go Milo, one more fish and you would have been in the thick of it (Bummer). If we had to fish for eyes for money here we would all be poor. I fish alot of amature tournys and have been in a few pro- am events for bass. I have to hand it to you for having the balls to take the next step and fishing with the big boys. I had fun at the pro-ams but its a backseat ride all the way. Nothing worse than being back seated by a guy that cant get into any fish. On the other hand its great when your lucky enough to team up with a guy that can teach you some good stuff and bring in some nice fish. Good luck this year and bring home some $$$$ <br />Tightlines Flathead

hry flat head thanks alot it was a tough step to move to the next level and believe me it took a bit of a toll on the wife and kids but with her support Its worth it. Fishing in prt clinton ohio in a few weeks not looking forward to lake erie that time of the year. This is when I usually try to partner up get a good draw and make some $ funny lake 1 fish can win it all there but the water is so unpridictable
