AZ Head to Head Bracket Tournament - Round 1 - April 23rd - Roosevelt Lake

With a decent tournament the day before at Apache Lake, it was time for my first round of head to head bracket style tournament. My competitor and I decided to fish Roosevelt Lake since was so close to Apache, and we were both there. I had heard the bite was extremely tough but a sporadic shad spawn bite was out there. It was a breezy morning to start and got insanely windier as the day went on. I missed a few on topwater early but got on the board throwing a small swimbait. That was my only bite until almost 11am. The winds picked up, 20-35mph, and fighting 3-6ft waves, I made a move to wind blown bank that wasn't getting as pounded as hard as other. Grabbed a jerkbait and proceeded to catch 3 keepers and a few shorts. They were enough to get the win, and move me into the second round.
