10th-just one digit off of #1

No photo today, forgot the chord to my camera/computer, BUT HEY,
came in 10th place overall, out of 115, caught a 42 lb fish,
one of four, all identical. Went away from the pack based on water temp
and movement over the last 24 hours, saw the water on the computer last night
moving, so left the pack that all went to where all the big fish were on day one,
and went further west and south, way further! Just kept catching fish all morning,
bigger fish, lots of current, and way rougher seas, it really becomes more of a
muscle match in these conditions, and I found myself having a hard time,
my shoulders were already sore I quickly found out from yesterday, and today,
with more current and rougher seas, those big fish just went deep in the water
and hung-at home in shallow water and fish of much smaller proprotions, it is more finesse,
but it was a strength battle over and over today, but our team was ready for the challenge
and we lost not a fish, nor killed anyone!
Were surprised to come in 10th place overall - that's our first Pro paycheck in a long time-
but everyone, from the president of another boat manufacturer to other teams, to spectators,
to event coordinators, want to buy a tye dye team shirt-they do look good, especially in a group,
lucy people know that well-hatteras! so if you were wearing your shirt today, many thanks,
the force was with us-on the drive tomorrow, after the giant sunday wydham beach brunch sunday-
yeah team, next stop, who knows
