I've been taking good at-bats lately. I've been a lot more confident. |
I've got four different patterns working right now. |
I've got three patterns that I found in practice, and that's what I'll be doing tomorrow. I think what I'm doing is a smart move. |
It took a while to get my fifth fish. I should be OK for [today]. I have one flipping pattern with a pretty good bite. I feel like I can do a 20-pound bag out there. |
It was an awesome day today. It was like magic. |
It's been all in his head. We've been telling him, 'you've got to stay confident.' He's got to have that 'can't be beat' attitude, and that's what he did out there today. |
That front came through and just slammed us. It didn't blow through, it roared through. |
The fish were skittish today. Growing up in Florida, I knew how to make them bite. The lake has changed over the years, but they're still Florida fish. |
The spectator traffic wasn't even a factor today. With this weather, they all headed for the hills. |
There's another big sack out there. Twenty-five pound sacks are not uncommon any time of year down here ? so it's wide open for about six or seven guys, I think. |
We didn't do it like we wanted to, but we'll take this win. This game meant a lot to us. |
When I hit the big fish, I started shaking. |
