This morning when I woke up and saw that it wasn't raining, I expected it to be a good day on the water. Until about 9 in the morning, my expectations were true. Once the sun came out and the hangovers began to wear off, every person in their 40-foot cruiser blessed us with their presence.
No matter where I went on the lake, I was battling huge wakes and annoying jet skis. I guess that's the price you pay to enjoy the great bass fishing on Grand Lake. As far as the fishing goes, the bass seemed to be biting as they have all week.
Saturday, I asked Jeff Kriet where he would be starting on Sunday morning, and I was waiting on him and his entourage when they arrived. The spot where he smoked his 24 pounds Saturday didn't produce but Jeff kept reassuring his fans that it was an afternoon bite, and he wasn't worried.
I followed him most of the day, and during the afternoon, his fish did seem to bite better. KVD's crowd was by far the largest, even though he wasn't leading the tournament. It's about halfway dangerous following him around the lake.
Despite the relentless cruiser wakes and teenagers trying to show off on their jet skis, the day went well. Being able to watch the best in the world fish this week has been a great experience, and hopefully they'll come back in 2009.
