KBI Tournament

[Obabikon]

Just a little shout for Jason Gibbons. He's currently in 6th place. They need a good day today, but they're definately in the running! Morson has 3 of the top 8 boats in the tournament. Good luck out there!


The Gustafsons had a MONSTER 20 LB bag yesterday, which vaulted them to the #1 position.

These "kids" if you remember posted a music video on this site. I for one was a little critical of it. BUT... they have very nice high quality vids of fishing exploits on Uncut Angling. Apparently when saying a word on accepting first place at the KBI their message to the kids and following their dreams was that you don't need a fancy boat to enter big tournaments.

On a related note:

Jon Olson, a fisherman from Kenora, Ont., has a fish tale few can top.
Olson was competing in the Kenora Bass International fishing tournament last weekend when he dipped his toes in the water before the weigh-in.
He said he felt a tug, yelled, and pulled a muskie out of the lake, its teeth clamped to his foot.
At first, Olson thought someone was literally pulling his leg.
"I thought one of the other guys was playing a joke and swam under the back of the boat and actually grabbed my foot," he said.
"But when I pulled my foot up and yelled, I (saw) it just attached."
Olson said the fish was more than a metre long and weighed about eight kilograms.
"All of a sudden something come up and grabbed my foot and I kinda just yelled and jerked my foot away," he said.
"When I pulled my foot, it pulled the muskie and pulled him out of the water by a foot and then he let go."
Olson has deep cuts on his foot and ended up placing tenth in the tournament.
But he has a great fish story to tell.
