Cypress - Friday night tournaments

I fished Black Bayou. Had 3 total, two over and one under, 7.46. I also caught one slot fish, about 5 minutes after I caught the first over which was 10 minutes after the tournament started. Finished 6th out of 18 boats. My big fish was 3.98. I could not get a spinnerbait bite, except for one....and that one was because YOU have jinxed me....about a 5 to 6 pound catfish. All mine came on soft plastic. I did hear reports of jig bites and some spinnerbait bites.

Note - they had a drawing for a rod and reel after the weigh-in...donated by Bass Pro.

Way cool on the drawing

I see your post of those weights earlier but I thought they were Cross? But I guess that is next week?

The rod and reel was a really nice combo. The guy that brought them said the dollar value of the set us $180.00.

Fished the tournament tonight (last night) with Nick. We only caught 4 fish total. Weighed one over and one under. First place was 8+ pounds and second was 7+. They didn't have many boats and only paid 2 places. Nick and I managed to get big bass - 4.1 pounds. Caught that fish about 11:45.

Fishing was tough and it got quite chilly before the night was done.

Did anyone fish this past Friday night in the Cypress/Black Bayou tournament? I couldn't make it and was wondering how the fishing went.

Hey Mr Noble, I fished the tournament friday night, I think I talked to you the tournament before last. We got first in that one with only four fish. Were you the guy with the big bass? I'm the young guy in that sketter SX170. Fishing was better friday than the last tournament. We caught 11 bass and weighed in 9+ pounds for third place. Winner had 13+. Second had 12+. The winner came from black bayou. Hope to fish the labor day tournament. I think I saw your name in the paper for that reeves tournament, if so, congrats to your high finish.I

Brushhog...thanks for the update. Yep, I was the one with big bass tournament before last. I remember your winning stringer. It was tough the last time, so I'm glad it improved for this past Friday night. Thanks for the congrats on the Reeve's...
