Elkhorn Tourny with Taylor 8/4

[coachjoe]

Fished the Saturday tournament again with Taylor. We floated and shuttled with admile3 and it was a fun 12+ hours on the creek. We caught plenty of fish.. however the big ones were pretty elusive. I did manage a nice 15" to go along with a couple around 13 which was good enough to finish in 4th place. It was a very nice day on the creek and we all had a great time! Taylor did hook a monster smallie early in the day that probably would have been close to big fish for the year... but on the second jump it landed over a rock and broke her off. Taylor did manage to catch her limit and put about 9 fish in the boat for the day.

Taylor's first.. didn't count but she was pretty excited:



Here are her three best:





A couple of more shots with her fish:




My biggest of the day.... notice the crooked hat?? I blew out my water shoes and struggled to stay on my feet when out of the kayak (took a couple of nice tumbles)... on a better note Canoe KY had water shoes on sale and I got a nice new pair for less than 20 bucks :-) :
