A few years ago, 2005 to be exact I came up with an idea to have a 4 person bass tournament. Those of you that have heard of bass tournaments know that this is unusual, and I believe it was the first ever in the state of Iowa. My friends and family have always said I have had some goofy ideas, and this was one of them I had back in 2005. The tournament is just like any other bass tournament, except instead of having just one partner, you have your partner in your boat, PLUS two other people on your team in another boat. Ideally you work together, call/text each other the "hot spots", or the "hot bait" of the day to compete against all the other teams. It has been a fun tournament to compete in.

This year, as the title states was a flop. None of our team members could really find those bass creatures on the day. All four of us fished hard, and caught numerous bass throughout the day, but as a team we only weighed in 4 bass, out of 10 possible. We just couldn't seem to find the keeper bass that day...a FLOP as I call it. A flop it may be, but I am a better angler because of it, and I will get back out there soon...you can't let one bad event get you down for too long.
To close, I may sound like a Cubs fan for a few seconds, but "I guess there is always next year".
