 Looking forward to this weeks tourny, as i'm sure many of you bounty hunters are! so i get my code at midnight and head out to do some night fishing , the night bite has been good because of the awfull heat! during the day's. We get to the area in about 40 minutes, i have decided to take my jon boat and trolling moter instead of the bass boat becuase i was not to familiar with this canals ramps, very dessolit area to say the least, we were in the water and fishing in just a couple of minutes.Buzzbaits and frogs were the meal of the evening.BUT ,i forgot to mention the swimbait i just had to try!!!! but everthing was packed so i hang it from my hat...... Fast forward a few hours we have caught some nice fish! then i catch a real toad on a spro frog , this is when things went south,"so to speak" new #$##%^^ camara wont work, now you have to remember its pitch black 25miles into the everglades ,i have thigs flying around my head that sound like small fighter jets!!!! So i swat at somthing and remember that swim bait in my hat, me neither! its now buried in the underside of my pointer finger right at the knuckle.After several attempts at removal no luck just alittle blood! Idont even have plyers strong enough to cut the bait from the hook. Well lets fish its only one finger and a long way home!! Needless to say we fished for about an hour and left a little earlier than i wanted, but we still had a good night fishing!! A quick trip to the E.R and then the tourny photo's, just another eventfull Bounty adventure!!!!
