A couple of weeks ago Kayak Bass Fishing had 2 tournaments here on Wheeler Lake AL. One was a 2 day big fish tournament starting on Friday and finishing on Saturday. I decided to enter the big fish tournament, so I took off Friday. I had a head ache Thursday night so I did not do my usual preparation before going fishing..just was not up to it. Got up Friday feeling good but had to tie on a few lures and at the last minute decided to switch kayaks to a lighter faster paddling kayak (big mistake), because I was planning on a long paddle and pretty good portage. Well launch time was first light but I was about 45 minutes late launching and I hit the water at about 5 minutes after launching and I do mean hit the water. I flipped the kayak lost my hat, sandals and Hawg Trough (required for the picture and release tournament)...so my day was over...and it was just 6:20. This was day one of the 2 day tournament and I am done and have not made a cast. Now day 2 was not much better..I will save this story for tomorrow.
