This past weekend charter was booked for a bassmaster challenge between CLOSENFF and STRIPER, a solid aluminum Sea Nymph. Striper had on board a veteran of the north end of Lake Norman and a young man who's tackle box is bigger than my entire boat. CLOSENFF had A to the J, an experienced farm pond largemouth fisherman. The stakes were high for this tournament, bragging rights! The CLOSENFF crew was a bit worried going up against a boat name STRIPER! as catching the elusive striper has been a challenge. We got out before the sun rose and after 10 min. of trolling we hooked up, STRIPER! Not two mins. later another STRIPER! We whistled over to the crew on the STRIPER and threw the fish their way. A little while later after unsuccessful jiggin on the banks we went back to trolling and picked up another. 15 points for CLOSENFF -5 points for STRIPER. Yep they actually admitted to fishing live bait and catching a stinkin catfish. Our 1st bassmaster challenge win!
