6/6/09 Red Fish Tournament


Came up just a little bit to long literally in the third round of the Low Country Redfish Cup. My partner Trent Malphrus and I had a great day catching some nice slot fish. We had four fish in our live well to choose from before the weigh in and picked our two biggest fish. One was 21.75 inches long and 3.75 lbs. and the second fish that was at one point just a hair below the limit of 23 inches and weighing in at a little over 5 pounds. 
We measured the fish several times to make sure it was a legal fish and were urged by several witnesses to go for it. Five minutes after our measurement the fish some how pinched out over 23 inches in front of the weigh master by 1/8 of and inch and we could not count it. We would have won the tournament with that fish or with one of the other two fish we decided not to weigh. It was a tough break but it was still a great day!
