I took a day off to go fish the F & B tournament with my wife Carin Vaughn. What a great day! We ended up catching 3 Cobia. The 1st fish we landed weighed 42.5 pounds a real nice fish but not nearly the fish needed to take the tournament. Our second fish was a small fish that we released and was only 10 pounds. With time winding down we hooked our last fish with less than a hour to go in the tournament( what I call "4th Down & Forty") after a 15 minute tough fight we boated the last fish and felt like we were contenders. We ended up taking the female angler category and got a nice little trophy and little cash just enough to break even for our expenses we put in. I was just happy to place out of the 60 boats that fished the tournament and have a chance to fish with my wife for the first time in a while.
