Took my favorite fishing partner out to stomp around for some bank fishing today. Shocked to see the lake was turning, but we gave it hell. I only had 3 bites but boy did they feel good. The omega shakey head produced 2 out of 3 fish. #wired2fish_official #omegacustomtackle #fishing #fishmorestressless #chrishimstedtfishing #bassfishing #largemouth #fishingwithmydaughter #favoritefishingpartner #fallfishing #IamWired2Fish #blessed #betterthanideserve #Godisgood (at Secret Spot) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWjkYYvrsLa/?utm_medium=tumblr

Truck is packed. Boat is not. Only do this a couple times a year.... Fishing the back seat this weekend. Hard to decide what ro pack and what to leave, but I believe there are very good lessons to learn from this. I have way too much tackle anyway. 😉 What an amazing way to start a day.....any day! #chrishimstedtfishing #fishmorestressless #wired2fish_official #truckpacked #coangler #lessonstolearn #learningopportunity #fishingislife #whattopack #tournament #Rangerboats #amazingsky #fishing #bassfishing #blessed #Godisgood #betterthanideserve (at Lake Bound!!!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVT-H3EL1x3/?utm_medium=tumblr

The "curse" is gone! We finished in 2nd today on Lake Norfork! WooHoo! But....the fishing was so horrible that the first place team finished with less than 9 lbs. We had 5 fish for just under 7 lb. Either way....we did well enough, or better than...to place second. What a grind, but...About dang time. 😀 #chrishimstedtfishing #fishmorestressless #norfork #lakenorfork #foundafew #bassfishing #bass #fishingislife #SaWeeT #blessed #Godisgood #betterthanideserve https://www.instagram.com/p/CU3x5Y_LdG8/?utm_medium=tumblr

TY....We found a few today which is better than a lot of ppl. Sitting in 3rd after day 1 but only ounces different from 1st place. Hope and need to avoid the "curse" tomorrow. #chrishimstedtfishing #fishmorestressless #norfork #lakenorfork #foundafew #bassfishing #bass #fishingislife #SaWeeT #blessed #Godisgood #betterthanideserve (at Norfork Lake, Mountain Home, Arkansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU0mNgULibu/?utm_medium=tumblr

The "CURSE" is REAL! This makes SIX tourneys in a row where I've finished 1 fish out of a paycheck. Caught plenty of 'em...nearly 10 or 12 a day, but not the right size on day 2. This has to end. NOT GIVING UP! Still had fun! BTW...all but 2 of my fish came on an Omega Custom Tackle Shakey Foot. @omegacustomtackle #chrishimstedtfishing #fishmorestressless #youtube #stockton #stocktonlake #omegacustomtackle #jigfishing #shakeyfoot #ditchdonkey  #tournamentfishing #wired2fish_official #Rangerboats #Humminbird #mega360 #minnkotamotors #garminmarine #panoptix #seaguar  #fishinglife #fisheveryday #feelthattug #bucketmouth #lewsfishing  #bearded #cursed #beardedfisherman #SaWeeT #blessed #betterthanideserve #Godisgood (at Stockton Lake Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTyIT4CrbAv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Consistency is key....my arse. I'm getting fed up with this pattern. This is my 5th tourney this year that I've finished 1 fish out of a check. And....the second that I finished 1st on day 1. That's right...we finished in 1st on day 1. When will I put 2 days together for a decent finish? Yes, I'm fed up. No, I'm not quitting! Rant over. Now it's time to get ready for the next tourney. #chrishimstedtfishing #fishmorestressless #youtube #pommedeterre #30fthigh  #omegacustomtackle #jigfishing  #ditchdonkey  #tournamentfishing #wired2fish_official #Rangerboats #Humminbird #mega360 #minnkotamotors #garminmarine #panoptix #firstplacetotenthplace #fishinglife  #bassfishingismylife  #fisheveryday #feelthattug #bucketmouth #lewsfishing  #bearded #letsdothis #beardedfisherman #SaWeeT #blessed #betterthanideserve #Godisgood (at Frustrationville) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSpmKVCLXQW/?utm_medium=tumblr
