Michiana Steelheaders Kid Tourney (pics)

[Bronzebacker]

We fished the Michiana kids tourney on sat  and other than a little shakey weather and wave action i think everyone had a ball!
The start of the Day!!

loading the Quacktannic.
Not looking so perky after the 7 mile run

rods are set and were trolling!

We had a slow start and the waves started to take their toll

WELL WHAT WOULD A TRIP TO THE BIG POND BE WITH OUT A LITTLE CHUMMING!!

FINALLY WERE ON THE BOARD AS A COHO KAZZONKED THE RIGGER AT 40 FT

Well Jr spent the rest of the day in that one seat in that same position only moving as a hook up happened and then i "moved" him to the fighting chair! We went 3 for 4 missing a big steelie that peeled the drag on a flat line.
However Jr perked up on land and it was off to the weigh in!!
ALL SMILES!!


AND a BIG THANKS to captain Chris!!


These guys put on an awesome tourney and i can't say enough what an outstanding job they all put in!! WHAT A CLASS ACT!! Congrats to all the kids and the winners!!

Great job with the boy,excellent memories.
Thanks for the pics-they tell the whole story.
I've fished with grown men that chum every time they go out.
Tell him to be proud he stuck it out.
