If you haven’t done so already, you need to go back and read the week of February 17th, up through and including the 24th, to find out why we are not fishing the FLW tournament at Lake Ouachita right now. We are home in New Hampshire instead, following the tournament results over the internet the same as the rest of you. Sounds like the fishing was tough, huh? Only took twelve-something pounds over two days to make the cut. Pretty much what we had expected. The truth is, though, that it’s probably not the catching of fish that’s tough this week, rather it’s meeting the sixteen-inch limit that is making the results look so poor. In fact it is conceivable that some of the fishermen out there are actually catching ten-to-twelve pound sacks each day, but posting zeroes at the scales because they don’t have fish that measure sixteen inches. On the other hand, the guy who catches just four or five barely-sixteen inch fish over a two day period could be making it into the finals. So don’t be fooled just because we’re seeing a lot of low weights being posted; on this one you have to read between the lines to get the true story.
