TnT new personal best jumbo flattie.. 8-15-2015

[broken bobber]

Well always thought it was hard to imagine beating my personal best fluke of 14.1 and when i did it took forever as that fish i took when i was 15 yrs old and is what got me hooked on the flatfish.....

What a day...fished The PT Pleasant Fluke Frenzy and The Ozarks Sportsman Club Tourney's with my usual crew of C&B Joe and Dolla Bill Couch...morning was tuff with nothing in the box at 9am then it picked up a little...bounced around a little and it PAID OFF.....decked some OK keepers till this pig slammed my OMT BUCKTAIL ball TIPPED with a gulp grub....incredible fight and masterful net job by Dolla Bill....fish went 13.8 lbs on an old hand held and was bouncing over 14.... but was eventually weighed at 2 very reputable tackle shops on legit certified scales and was determined to be 14.3 lbs...... what a beautiful fish... took the VFW tourney for the 3rd year in a row and helped put us over the top in the 3 fish Ozarks tourney...... Thanx to my crew for sticking out the drifts and for an incredible day... AND to My Bow Monkey Mikey whos always watching over us.... :)

[hookset]

Congrats bobber!!!
I was wondering who got the slob!! We fished both tournaments out of AH this weekend and after I got 2x 8 pounders and 6 I thought we were would be top dog in both! Came to weight to find we were second in the one tourney (behind you) and first in FOP! That was my best day fluking in my life!! 7 keeper size fish orl 2 eight pounders and a 6! Will be a long time to be beat that

[Fishnfool]

Should have been my fish!!!!:confused: But I decided to eat cause I was pissed we only had 2 18.25" fluke in the box at 1130... the other guy was taking a pee only rod in da water was Toms.... WTF :o only had about 45 min bite on Saturday. Hell I didn't get a bite for over 3 hours .

Awesome Fluke Once in a Lifetime Fish in my eyes I was a lil jealous but so proud of Tom for taking his time with all the headshakes and felt like we were in 200ft of water before I saw that monster come to net and start thrashing backwards.. The Best Hooked it and did it all right.

LOTS of prayers were being said out loud for sure

Congrats again Tom!!!! Hope one day it will be my turn, Then Bills LMAO

Oh and Thanks for wining me some Money too, Wish we would have entered all of them..LMAO

This Year Fluking been tough not a lot of quality fish for us for sure.
