Lake Howard Tournament 4/13/13

Great conditions again. Started out in the high 40's and ended in the mid 70's. Water temps were in the mid 60's all day. I fished this tournament with my brother Eli Johnson. It was his first tournament ever. We started out strong, we had our limit by 8:30. We culled two in the next 2 hours and that was it except 2 short fish. We went to weigh in with high hopes. When we weighed in we were in the lead with a limit for 6.0lbs which is good for this lake. We ended up missing second by half a pound and first had 11lbs with a 4lb kicker. We had a good time anyway. Didn't really miss any key bites so no regrets. I'm pretty sure everyone was doing the same as us anyway, it just came down to the luck of dropping it in front of them.
