MCS, I'm Polish remember?! We invented vodka! I can take some Johnny alright doin' just fine my friend, just fine

3-4 days and i start getting the shakes and cold sweat! i fish every 2-3 days lately. less in the summer when it's slow and hot!

+1 Lizards are king down here!

Yes, I've watched MANY episodes with my 4-yo son

Lou, I warned you about me and LMG when we fished together, didn't I? Believe me, I'm dialing it waaaaaaay back! Perhaps one day I'll record what goes on when LMG and I are fishing together, if you think I need to dial it back here, well, you should see us on the water But in all seriousness, this is nothing more than a good fun with good friends here! I know I push the envelope sometimes, but I hope you all realize this is 100% humor from my end, and I love you all guys! After all I portray myself as the world's most evil man and laugh at myself more than at anything or anyone else This is a great forum and I've already made few friends here (shout out to LMG, fstr385, and you Lou!, wish more of you were more local!) And as far as the competition lasting for a year or more... why not?!?! It's not like we're going to stop reading this forum, nor stop fishing right? I know some months will be slower than others, but why not keep doing this until we all drop dead or move out of FL For me, this competition is a great motivator to go out even when I don't feel like it and to step up my game! So let's keep rocking on as long as we can!!!

Entire year?! That's just a warm up for, ahmmm, some of us! Competitions for ever!!!

You guys And yes, it's a date night with Johnny Walker... though I wish it was with LMGambler...

Yes well you might have returned him to me alright, but last night, in the heat of the moment, he called me Lou!!!!!!!

With an avatar like that, I'm sure Lou will be willing to bend the rules and let you enter on day #21... he did let that cheating boob Gambler join on day #10 before...

ROTFLMAO! When I was texting with you and fstr385 last night, my wife asked me if I'm one of those guys with another wife and kids in another town that i visit on weekends i replied that "it's just my other GF honey, you can relax"

And now you're bragging about our "intimate" time on the boat too?!? You are sleeping in a dog house, mister!!!

And a foot massage! And a day at the spa!

I'm easy, but not cheap!!!

Well i'm still waiting for my bouquet of flowers and box of chocolates!

Ha! That second picture is a proof you were using life bait! Not cool! Totally lame!

Booooo! Booooo! Where's the "NOT Like!" button when you need it!

Ha! I knew you and Gambler were going to cheat and use shiners! Lame!!!

i know you'll post the top 10 tomorrow, but could you also PM me or post my 5 fish, since you started keeping score, I forgot what I caught Also, not sure how you're doing it, but do you want an Excel spredsheet (I can share it with you as google doc) that will automatically calculate top 5 based on the numbers you plug in (I promise to not hack the programming in my favor )? M.

Well, the curse of the Gambler was definately upon me today! The first 2 fish I caught were gut hooked, and even though I managed to remove the hook and not hold them out of the water for very long, they both DIED!!! First one I unhooked in under a minute, and when I put him back in he was dead, the second one was out for a minute, then back in the water for a swim, then back out again, and he also... kaput! The one in the pic below is the largest one I got today, and he's one of the two that dies! d**n you Gambler!!!! Otherwise it was a great day. Fstr385 and I met up at 6:55am, dropped his itsy-bitsy-tiny boat and worked my entire honey hole canal in 5 hours that followed. We must have boated 30+ fish (this is where I hear NOT ONE word from Lou nor Gambler!) and had a great time! P.S. Lou I believe I should be in the 90+ inch territory

Yea, on my "bad" day I turn into a real Hitler

Death to Gambler! All Heil Martin!

simple. you throw it. once it lands you wait few seconds, often times you will get a strike within the first 4 seconds after it lands. if no strike, start bringing it slowly in so that it makes the bubbling sound. don't stop. run it slow and steady. works great on a calm flat surface with no wind, early morning or late evening, around sun setting or coming up. i've caught more bass on that thing when I was bass fishing back in NY when in highschool than I did here in FL... yes, there was a time when i was a great bass fisher man, then i took a break for 15 years and am at it again since last year. FL bass is tough... or it might be the spell Gambler cast upon me! that cheating wretched!!! EDIT TO ADD: i only use the small one peace jitter bugs. even nailed a snakehead one one few weeks ago

has anyone here fished a jitter bug yet?!? it's THE BEST top water lure for early morning or late evening when the sun is setting...

No Lou. We'll be comparing our 25+ inch bass to your 15+ inch bass. It will be a sad day to be a friend of Gambler!

Mission Gambler Death T - 9 hours... tick... tick... tick...
