Korea, Pro Tournament sponsored by Surecatch Korea.

Surecatch / Lureman Cup Tournament, Andong

Last weekend was yet another Andong tournament weekend. For the Pro's it was a 2 day tournament sponsored by my sponsor, 'Surecatch Korea', and for the Challenger Pro's it was a 1 day tournament sponsored by Lureman, owned by Park MuSeok (more on him later  ).

This time I took my better half with me, which was a big mistake. We fished together on Saturday which was also my one and only practice day. The day started off well when I got a bite on almost my first cast of the day which ended up being a little dink.

That was the only fish I would land all day Saturday. The wife however didn't disappoint as she always kicks my @$$, and today was no exception. She caught 3 keeper bass. Here's her biggest....



Saturday's weather was rather good, mostly cloudy with some sunshine mixed in (all the fish came during the cloudy times).

Then Sunday came, and the rain came down HEAVY all during the tournament, which I didn't mind too much as it was better then blazing sunshine. I started the day throwing topwater baits and lost/missed 5 bass early on (at least 3 of them were decent keepers). That made me frustrated. A few hours went by without a single bite, then with 30 minutes or so to go until weigh in closed, I caught 2 nice bass and hurried to the weigh in (we have a 3 fish limit).

Not good enough to win anything, but I came in 29th out of 69 boats and got some valuable points with these.....



The winner of the Pro's was Park MuSeok (Lureman Shop owner, FTV Bass fishing show host and my fellow Surecatch Korea Pro-staff). Here's a couple of his very nice winning bass....



He won the 2 day tourney with a total weight of 12,450g / 27.5lb.

Thanks for the report and the pictures.  Looks like a fun time.  Maybe you should enter your wife in tournaments.

Thanks Mike.
I am working on it. I have an inflatable boat that she can use 

The good thing that came out of this weekend is that she saw all those big bass boats for the first time and now she wants one

Not bad BK. You are just right at the door of winning something. Maybe if you could get a few pointers from your wife.
