One man, a red boat and a hot hole. That is all that was needed Friday evening at Thompson Lake in the third session of the Badwater Bass Club. While others frantically scoured the lake looking for that elusive bass, Jim camped out near the northwest shore and scored himself a full bag of fish, granted one of the fish was dead on arrival at the weigh-in. Dead fish are apparently welcome in the club standings as the rule states, "A 4oz. per fish penalty will be assessed for fish that do not swim away on their own after weigh in." Only a four ounce penalty, eh? For the next session I'm going to the fish store and buy five large bass that will obviously be dead. If they are at least three pounds, the four ounce penalty (per fish?) will still leave me with five fish that come in just over two pounds each. I think that rule might need to be updated.
Here nor there, a great session from Jim and his Red Rocket vessel.
