2008 Tournaments Fished
While the Empire
Chase has come and gone, bringing the BASS Elite Series Tournament
to Buffalo (July 31st thru August 3rd). The Smallies showed why Lake
Erie is not only the Walleye Capital of the World, it's the
Smallmouth Bass Capital of the World as well ! ! !
First off, Congratulations to Kotaro Kiriyama, what an awesome job on
Lake Erie Bronzebacks of 93 Pounds & 6 ounces for 4 days (20 Bass)!!!
Also Congrats to Buffalo's own, Tim Creighton for winning the
Co-Angler side with 38 pounds & 14 ounces (9 bass).
I had a rather disappointing tournament, finishing 49th after
sitting in 18th at day 2's end. It's started out tough on day 1 with
James Kennedy as he had motor problems that forced us to nurse his
boat back to the dock for repairs that cost about 3 hours of fishing
time and kept him from running to his best spot. I still managed to
catch 10 pounds 4 ounces for 3 fish after not having any fish at 2pm,
then landed 5
book end 3 1/4 pound Smallies on one drift and sat in 21st place. He
was a great guy who has just been plagued with bad luck all season and
I wish him the best next season. On day 2, I drew Terry Scroggins and
had a ball fishing with him. We caught a bunch of fish but just not
big enough ones to help either of us much. I managed 10 pounds 4
ounces again with all book end fish again. No big kicker fish to help
me move up in the standings much but I did slide up to 18th. On day 3,
I drew Greg Hackney and it was the worst tournament fishing experience
I have ever had, Bar None ! ! ! ! ! The Rumors of his treatment of
Co-Anglers are
True. I have never fished with someone who was that arrogant, selfish,
worried about what you are doing and unprofessional in my life ! ! !
He did the standard trick of turning off the electronics so your
fishing blind while trying to block the front sonar by moving in front
of it if he saw you looking at it. Then, he positioned the boat, stern
to the waves, leaving you only to drag something way behind the boat
at about 1 1/2-2 mph. If I casted toward the front of the boat off to
one side (not even casting past the mid point of the boat), he would
turn the boat with the trolling motor toward your line so you would
have to reel up, cast to the other side he'd do the same thing. Then
when it got rougher, he put out a drift sock right off the back of the
boat to even eliminate more area for you to fish. I started fishing
straight down off the back corner opposite the drift sock and the next
thing I know waves are crashing over the back of the boat as he's
pushing the boat backwards into the waves to back up over a fish he
see's on the graph. Then he tells me not to fish straight down. He
just kept trying to frustrate you and take you out of the game.
Unfortunately, It worked and I only caught 1 bass that weighed a
whopping 1 pound 4 ounces that dropped me to 49th. I did cash a check,
but was more disappointed in myself for not finding a way to beat him
at his own game and letting him get the best of me. I really should
have had him disqualified for his actions, but BASS probably wouldn't
have done anything about it anyway. They know about the complaints
about him as it's common knowledge among Co-anglers and after Keith's
comments at the weigh in to me; "Oh, you mean he actually let you
catch one!" Now, that BASS has eliminated the Co-Anglers on the Elite
Tournament Trail for next year. We'll just have to see how big of
crowds show up to the weigh ins without the Co-anglers families in
attendance and we'll get to hear some new excuses why they couldn't catch
fish as they won't have us Co-anglers to blame. BASS wants to become
to next NASCAR, being the ELITE Tournament Trail for Professionals,
but they really need to look at the individuals they have representing
them as should the sponsors! I know I won't buy anything Mr. Hackney
promotes!
