Youth Bass Fishing Tournament

On May 3rd, Payton went on his 2nd Youth Bass Fishing Tournament.. he caught several fish but didn't catch any that would put him on the board. The bass had to be a minimum of 16 inches and that was hard to do. But because he has entered two tournaments, he is now in 3rd place in his age division. It works very similar to baseball tournaments, you get points for entering tournaments and even more points for catching fish. He is super excited and loves this new hobby of his. His Grandad thinks its pretty awesome too, and has put in time and effort to make Payton a better fisherman !! I think there are 4-5 more tournaments left for the year and Payton's goal is to get a sponsor (because they have "sweet" shirts ) . We are super proud of him, once he puts his mind to something, he doesn't give up and works at perfecting his sport !
this was a "keeper" catfish.. it wasn't entered in the tournament, but they hurried home and ate it !! Go Payton !!
