I think that the winning weight was 12 lbs for 5 fish, pretty sad. As the boats were coming in for weigh-in we hear some 8 year old kid screaming. A bunch of us run over to see if he is ok. It turns out that he had a 7 lb bass on his snoopy pole, wrapped around a tree and it was freaking him out. He could not get it in. We helped him by wading out and grabbing it. We took him up and weighed it for him. Since his fish outweighed the biggest bass in the tournament by 3 pounds, we gave him the cash ( about $100) and trophy. You couldn't wipe the smile off of his face if you tried.

It was fun fighting steelhead on such a little rod. I also have a 3 and a half foot G Loomis rigged with four pound test that I use for a perch rod up on Lake Washington.
