King of the Inlet Tournament 4-16-11

This tournament was the first of the King of the Inlet tournament series. There are a total of 3. Tiny, Jason, Chris and Mike fished with us on this trip. The seas were rough! 3-5 feet and VERY choppy! We heard a lot of other boats were too scared to fight the seas, so they went straight east...not us though! :-) It was a very slow day. Ron went fishing a few days prior and caught 16/17 dolphin. After all the wind we got on Friday though, it moved the fish somewhere else. Our biggest fish weighed 20 pounds on the nose. Third place was 17.4. We aren't too happy because when we weighed the fish in, they said it weighed 17 pounds. We know our scale is accurate since we used it last weekend before we weighed our fish in and it matched the weigh masters scale, perfectly. Usually, you can see what your weight is too. This time, they didn't show us our weight, they just announced it. Either their scale is way off or the person weighing the fish is buddies with the team in third place and trying to protect them from getting kicked off the board. We are just going to have to really watch them over the next two tournaments and make them show us the weight. This could really effect us at the end of the series though since you receive points for where you place. We had a great team fishing with us and looking forward to our next tournament!
