So you're not just loosing with 12 pounds, you're getting shelled. Keep at
it. You need to find where the big girls live (possibly deep,offshore
structure?). A 20 pound 5-fish limit is pretty damn strong. What water are
these tourneys held on? I wasn't aware that AZ had such awesome bass
fishing.

Lately the winning bags have been over twenty. I'ld say the last 5 or 6
tournaments I have fished have had 21-22 pound bags for first. Three or
four tourney's ago we weighed in 16.5 for third with 2nd going a 19.05 and
1st going to over 22. I'ld say all season a 16 or 17 was the lowest 1st
place I have seen. May have been one or two lower back in January or
February.

Good luck Bob. When you bring in 12 pounds what seems to be the average
winning weight?

Just Five Fish Bags.

Although I must admit I only caught 4 fish saturday for a whopping
total
of
5.99 The previous weekend I weighed in 11.05 and 13.55 on saturday
and
sunday respectively. Didn't make it in the money either day. I blew
a
couple good crank bait fish on the saturday with 11.05 that would have
improved my bag by a couple pounds.

Next weekend I am fishing a club open with only a 3 fish bag.

Is that 12-16# for 5 fish or more Bob?

I weigh in 12-16 lbs fairly often yet, still have not managed to
win
a
tournament. Its pretty disenheartnening when you bring in a nice
bag,
and
the first thing you see is an eight pounder on the scale.

Don't swell his head, he shook a worm : ) Nah just kidding the
fish
was
a
nice one. I took the images and made him pose. Harry will
definetly
give
Warren a run for his money for best dressed ROFB'er. It was a
tough
bite
as
I fished as an observer, I landed two fish and slept for a few
hours
into
early morning. But good to be back out on a big boat. The fish
were
there
as
two members of that club brought in respective limits of 15 and
12
lbs.
It
was all about location as they both caught fish on patterns that
everyione
else was using

Congrats, Harry. I checked out your pics and they look great.
I'll
try
to outdo you soon, I've got the Texas water advantage, but
you've
got
the knowledge.
