| Fished the Nick's tournament this past Saturday. It was a no boundaries tournament so we headed to West Bay. Found a school of very large fish (30+ inches) that were very spookish. Cloudy and overcast made it difficult to get a bait in front of them without them seeing us first. Broke one fish off, no idea how, and got another large fish to the boat, which was over the slot. Fished that area for 2-3 hours and decided to try somewhere else. (looking at the monster) 
Headed to the next area and fished hard. Jimmy managed to put one fish in the boat that was in the 22" range (4lb 2oz). No other fish to be found. 
Moved to the next area and found no luck. Then to the next area, no luck except one small fish. Then to the next area, nothing. Didn't even spook a fish in any of the areas we fished other than the first spot. Frustrated, we decided to head to the Choctawatchee Bay at about 1:30. Tossed our one fish back since we knew he wouldn't cut it on the scales even if we caught another large fish. On the way to the ramp, the super storm came through. After the storm went through we had about 4 hours of fishing time left. Caught a bunch of fish and managed to get 2 in the slot. New it wouldn't even be close, but we wanted our T-shirt. Bad luck day, but fished all artificials and weighed in fish, so I guess it wasn't a horrible showing, just not what we were hoping for. 
(fish getting ready to be tagged) Our final weight 8.5 lbs. 1st place was at 14.4lbs HUGE! 2nd was 14.2, and 3rd was 13.8 I think. Not sure where the big ones were caught.

What do they call it now, the "door knob", cause everyone gets a turn. It was packed by 8am. I bet those fish get hammered on.
