Falcon Bass Champs Practice Day 2

Day 2 was rough. We got on the water at daylight and made a 25 mile run down the lake.  We hit a spot that had produced several fish over 8lbs for me back in November. Lani quickly caught a 5lber but that was it.  After two more hours of checking old and new stuff we'd only managed 4 more fish with none of them over 4lbs.  We decided to totally make a change and head back up the lake and as we were idling out of a creek, his engine shut off.  We checked everything we knew to check and managed to get it started again but as soon as I hit the throttle it died again.  Luckily a couple of super generous guys also practicing for Bass Champs saw us working on the engine and came to our rescue. If it wasn't for them we'd probably still be in Mexico. They towed us across the lake to the state park which took a solid two hours.  Once we got there we had to wait on someone to come in off of the lake to carry one of us back to Zapata to get the truck and trailer.  Luckily after about an hour, local guide Tommy Law came in off the lake and took Lani back to Zapata to get the truck while I took a nap on the front deck of the boat!  Not a good day but it could've been a lot worse!
