caught everywhere
Everything went right for me today. Everywhere I went I caught fish.
awesome catching
Everything I did worked. I couldn't do no wrong. I was catching some awesome fish.
bigger catching fishing isolated reason
That's the reason I'm catching bigger fish. They're on isolated beds, and I'm fishing really slow.
area caught fish friday spent time
I was pretty disappointed today. I spent all of my time in the area where I caught my fish Friday because I thought it had more fish.
area strongest
I think I had the strongest area on the lake.
affect boat
It didn't affect me, though. I yanked him out of the water, got him back on the boat and went right on fishing.
falling holding middle
It hasn't sunk in. It's like in the middle of a dream. When I was out there and the confetti was falling and I was holding the trophy, it's surreal.
middle
It hasn't really sunk in yet. It's like you're in the middle of a dream.
bedding caught days fish good last morning third visions
For two days I've been on bedding fish, and I went back this morning and caught a 6-pounder on my third cast. I had visions of grandeur, but that was my last good fish of the day.
five fun nervous relaxed stage tournament until
I was relaxed the whole time. I'm never nervous when I'm tournament fishing. To me it's fun and relaxing. I didn't get a little nervous (Sunday) until I got up on the stage with the other five finalists.
dreaming seems sink surreal
It still seems a little surreal right now, like I'm dreaming this. It will sink in soon.
It still really hasn't sunk in. It's surreal.
bunch factor fish guys matter mind money thrown tournament
Actually, the money isn't even a factor in my mind. I fished this tournament just like I would have fished if a bunch of guys had thrown $5 into a pot. I fish the same way no matter what.
areas bit catch five good maybe milk sure today tomorrow
I just had a good day. I could go out tomorrow and maybe catch 10 pounds. I'm not sure if I can catch five fish. But I'll got back to the some of the areas that I got bit in today and try to milk them for what they're worth.
