Anticipation was unreal. Everything called for a great day of fishing. The weather was perfect. Then the tournament started.

My experimental grit recipe paid off. All 3 of the buffalo carp pictured below was caught on the instant grits with the almond milk and cocunut.

The rice turned out perfect. The end result was that I did not catch a single fish on it. Does not mean it will not work, it just means it did not work Saturday night.

The first tounament (on Saturday's)  is from 9:00 a.m. till 5:00 p.m.The second is from 6:00 p.m. till 2:00 a.m. Yes, I spent 16 hours Saturday and was only able to catch three fish.

I did win the day time tournament with an 18.0 buffalo. Being an even weighted fish over 17 pounds, I won a jar (an extra pool of money for an even weighted fish from 17-25 lbs.)

14.9 lbs. Buffalo

15.5 lbs. Buffalo
