Had a small singles tourney last weekend, had boat 6 out of 10. all 5 boats in front of me headed up the river. about 200 yards from the take off was a bridge that you had to come off plane to go under. most boats went to the middle, I went to the right with my buddy in his jet right on my tail, We blast to the bridge and instead of idling through, I jump to the front deck, grab a spinnerbait and cast parallel to the piller and WHAM, 3.6 lb smallie, while the boat was still settling down! swung him over the side just as my buddy goes by! Turned out to be the lunker of the day! So he takes off and I take a couple of more casts and on to the run! I pass him again and stop at a bluff, throw the TM over, pick up the rod and Wham again 2 lb smallie, followed by 2 more!...and then it ended! he passed me, went on up to jet boat land and ended up in 2nd with 5 smallies for 14.5 lbs, I had just over 12, Had one guy in a Trtion with a 300 think he was bad! He came around a corner as I was just about to go on plane, He was full bore out and watched me jump up on plane and start after him. it was amazing how fast I caught up and passsed him, he was shocked! Especially when I told him my boat was 10 years old and it did this speed 10 years ago when most were running 150's! He said he had never been passed in 2 years, but he also never seen another Allison! So at least the lunker paid for the gas for a day! plus caught about 20 smallies!
