Gulf Coast Bass Anglers tournament on Martin Lake- 1st place!!!

I got to the lake and put my boat in at around 5:00. First boat there. The guy that runs the tournament was there already. He said I couldn't fish by myself, I had to fish with a member in the first tournament. I was ready to pull my boat out and go home, but I thought for a few minutes and said to myself that it would be better to fish than go home. So I told him I would fish with someone. I got paired with David Ross. We launched out last and headed to a spot I had told him about. Right off the bat we both caught one. An hour or two later we headed to a spot he wanted to try. I caught a 3lber and that was it until about 1:30 for me when I caught one that was faning a bed. David ended up with 4 and I had 3. Not felling too good about my bag after another guy had a limit I headed to the scales. My bag put me in first place at 6.42lbs. and I had first and second place big fish at the time. Tough day! The guy with the limit had a dead fish and couldn't beat me out of first. I ended up wining and getting 1st and 2nd place big fish!
