Again this year my brother and I are going after those giant 6 lb plus smallmouth on Lake Simcoe. The tournament was called the Crackle Cup but for the last few years has been known as the BPS Simcoe Open. Now Im talking five fish weighing average 6 lb each. The first team to get 30 lb will win a cool $7,500,00 bonus. So far the 30 lb mark has been missed by a hair. Last year was own with 29.3 lb and the year before was 29.9 lb. Our best weight was 27.3 lb. with a 7.18 lb toad. We have them figured out and this year we are going for it. I will keep you posted.

Hey Marco!!! A little advice on driving the 03. Use less trim. Only trim it up until you are comfortable, and always trim down (slowly) when coming off the throttle. That boat has seen upper 80s and occasionaly touched 90 with a tailwind.
