What type of frogs are they? And is that a 3.75" weedless huddleston?

Rods are more important.. Upgrade the rod first...

NIICE

Mine was caught on a 3/8oz green pumpkin jig with a rage baby craw on it... 1.6lbs I don't know if this counts but I caught my PB smallmouth on a 3/4oz football head with spider jig trailer... First smallie on a jig (if it counts)

Depends on the situation... They fish totally different, a hard jerkbait can suspend making it a key choice in some situations. The soft jerkbaits have their pros over the hard jerkbaits in certain situations too.

1 piece 100%, unless transportation is making it so you CANNOT carry 1 piece rods...

LOL

Thanks Glenn

What exactly is fizzing? Does it have to do with the sudden change of depth for the fish? Never heard of it...

WOW!!!

I saw the photos of your PB in the southern competitions thread,I run the one for the northern guys... Great fish!!!! A great rod for the money is the Abu Garcia Vengeance, it is only $50... I have used the casting rod but I'm sure the spinning rod isjust as good...

Do you target bass? I know some people do, but trout and perch seem to be targeted the most...

Exactly, ice fishing is not fishing... We will have snow and ice on our lakes soon enough, but as soon as the our lakes are ice free in the early spring the competitions will resume, can't wait!

Who wants in Novmber! This will be the final competition of this year for who ever will still be hitting the water. I know I won't be able to get out much if at all this month but we might as well still have a thread for November. New comer's are always welcome! Personally I'm very excited for next year's competitions, hopefully we will get more people to participate and lots of big fish!

Rage craws are definitely my bass magnet bait... Texas rigged and used as a jig trailer are my two favorite ways to use them... I had the best 30min to 1hour of fishing ever with a texas rigged rage craw. It was towards the end of summer and my friend and I wanted to hit a spot that is pretty close to our house, so we said that we would go out for about an hour and be home before dark. So in a short period of time I hooked up with my PB 6lbs 5oz, a 4lbs 14oz, and a 2lbs 9oz, my friend caught a 4lbs 12 oz... That is a solid 4 fish limit for an hour LOL 6lbs 5oz 4lbs 14oz 4lbs 12oz 2lbs 9oz

That's a fine looking bait! What is it?

Yes, not sure how much fishing i'll be able to do but I will get a comp started

LOL

I would suggest a screw lock hook or an offset hook so that the soft plastic your are texas rigging is straight, this is most likely your problem...

Nice handful of fish you got there!!!

Trust me I know I have it easy right now, and If I want to make it as far as I'd like to in the sport I'm going to have to work very very very hard!

I will definitely poke into the southern thread this winter checking out all the FL pigs... I usually go down in February for a week to my grandfather's place, that's always a nice escape from the snow. Besides that trip to FL I'll be playing basketball, indoor lacrosse and soccer. Soccer and lacrosse is only once a week each compared to bball which is everyday after school and some time Saturday... Then in the spring I'll just have lacrosse which means plenty of fishing!

Wish I was 18!!!! Less than 2 years...

That's a great new avatar A-Jay!

I'll be honest I am not going to count up all the totals for everyone... I think we all know who won LOL, I'm going to start a Nov. thread either tonight or tomorrow even though I wont be doing much bass fishing at all... It's going to be a long winter for me, I'm going to have to keep dreaming for spring to come along! As soon as their is ice off the lakes we'll start up again... I will start a thread in the winter for us to talk about any ideas for next year competitions and what not... I think we will have some real good comps next year!
