Curtis, Britney, Berkley, & Tido



Tomorrow is the ultrasound to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. So last chance to put your vote in. Curtis would really like some support that it is a girl. So look back tomorrow to find out what we are having. We are getting way excited.
This year I (Curtis) am fishing American Bass Association tournament series. I fish with Lance Goulding. We started the year off with a bang. In our first tournament of the year we took second place. We had a lot of fun and caught a lot of fish. Our fish total for the day was around 100 fish between the two of us. We also caught some really big fish. The second cast of the day I hooked into a 4.5 pound Largemouth Bass. Then about an hour later lance caught a 3.5 lb fish. We knew that we needed to upgrade these fish to a size or two bigger to have a chance at winning. We had jokingly told each other a few times that it was the other persons turn to catch an upgrade, it was at one of these challenges that lance hooked a fish and it was looking like a big fish. We didn't see it until it was at the surface and ready to be netted. It was an absolute monster fish. It ended up being the big fish of the tournament. Then about ten minutes later lance called the same call out for an upgrade and sure enough I hooked into another big fish. It ended up being the fourth big fish of the tournament. We were sitting pretty good at this point. The big fish is a 7.03lb fish and the smaller but still really big fish is a 5.49lb fish. We were way excited and when we ended the tournament we ended up being in 2nd place out of 13 teams, with only three out of a possible of 5 fish because of the lake regulations. It was a lot of fun and we ended up winning 880 dollars that we split between the two of us.
In our sec0nd tournament it was bad weather and we got rained on for about four hours but we fished hard and at the end of the day we ended up 6th place out of 33 teams. We didn't get any pictures of the fish that we weighed at this tournament, because of the weather we just got the fish weighed and got out of the water where we could get dry and warm up. But we didn't catch anything quite as good as in the first tournament our best fish was 4.30lb's. We won 330 dollars on this tournament that we split between the two of us. We had a lot of fun even though the weather was not very good.
Keep checking back for more info on the next tournaments of the year. Hopefully we can keep up the winnings

We also had a Pinewood Derby contest in our University Ward. It was family against each other. Ours wasn't the fastest but we really had a fun time making it. Ours is the Brown one 2nd over from the Left.
