SN13 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 First. My buddy told me to join this thread so. HI! I do my best to align the tail with the base of the rod and then photo the fish in a hurry to get em in the water. Some photos don't look like the tail is at the base, but it is. Next. For scale: 5/10/13 - 20" 5/15/13 - 16" 5/15/13 - 18" Take that MVorbrodt Also, the ones on 5/15 were barbless hooks. I gut-hooked a 14" on 5/14 and it didn't make it... 1 Quote

Well about time you joined Judd!!! Welcome to the best bass fishing forum on the net!!! In this competition, we got for a month and top 5 fish lengths win! Good luck!!! P.S. Judd (SN13) has an unfair advantage, he has a honey hole right in his back yard!!! 1 Quote

Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 17, 2013 Super User Posted May 17, 2013 @sn13, had that same set up, spheros on a redbone for snook for quite a while. Not really bass fishing too much now, but did catch a nice one the other day, I don't measure them but about 6 lb or so. I'm occupied with snook now, had several over slots this week. Quote
Super User MCS Posted May 17, 2013 Super User Posted May 17, 2013 Went back to the pond from yesterday, that produced. Got 3 but they were all around 15" or under. If I work tomorrow I have the perfect spot to stop on the way in.... Quote
CountBassula Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Today's Catch: 4 Bass at: 13.5", 14.5", 17", and 20" Bonus catch: Snakehead just barely shy of 2ft See attached. BTW, is anyone keeping score officially, or do we do our own round up at the end (when does this end again?) M. 1 Quote
Super User MCS Posted May 19, 2013 Super User Posted May 19, 2013 Been keeping my own score, but I think Alex had 4 fish and Fstr had 3 or 4 dunno the totals of theirs though....I think it is the 6th. So You have time to cull LOL I have a 15" I haven't posted because I am going Monday to get 2 more over 20" Nice fish by the way. Quote

So You have time to cull LOL I have a 15" I haven't posted because I am going Monday to get 2 more over 20" Nice fish by the way. thanks! it was funny the way is started off, i got 2 13-14" bass first that I didn't take pics of, thinking i'm never gonna win this thing with small fry like this, then i got a 3rd small one, and i'm like snap! better start taking pics! then the last 2 I hooked were 17 and 20" so yea... and the darn snakehead was bleeding so much and thrusting I got it's BLOOD IN MY EYES!!!!!!! kinda freaking out a bit, don't want to get a eye eating parasite or some nonsense like that... anyways, fishing was good, and weird. i went for 2 hours to my honey hole canal near my house, first 30 minutes nothing. then all the fish but the last one in 30 minutes. then an hour of nothing again, and on the way back i'm like, ahhh one last cast, and i land a 17" on :-) always good to do that one last cast :-) Quote

Alex_bassman Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 My total length for the first two weeks is 75 inches, what is everyone elses Quote
Super User MCS Posted May 20, 2013 Super User Posted May 20, 2013 My total length for the first two weeks is 75 inches, what is everyone elses How many fish is that? I think you posted 4 right? With me it depends my best 3 go for 63" and if I throw in that 15" I haven't posted yet I am at 4 fish for 78" Which I might post all things considering, I swung and missed this morning. They were there, didn't bring anything with me they liked, was trying different baits instead of senkos and rattlesnakes, they shunned the pop-r this morning too. This is a lot closer than I thought! Still going til the 6th right? Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted May 20, 2013 Super User Posted May 20, 2013 I haven't been keeping track of anything and I have mostly been catching small fish anyway so the lengths won't matter. I need to find some new spots and finally make my way out to Ponte Vedra with my fishing gear. I was there yesterday with my girl and son at Meckler Beach. I stopped by my spot, didn't have fishing gear tho, and I saw 5 huge females swimming around in the shallow areas and I saw the resident gator pop his head out the water to see what I was doing then he went back under It looks like it is a 2 man bragging rights race between Alex and MCS. Keep it up guys and congrats on all your catches... I hope next time I can keep up! Quote
Super User MCS Posted May 20, 2013 Super User Posted May 20, 2013 Nah I think Mvorbrodt and Fstr are still alive too. They have 3 or 4 good fish as well. It is a 4 horse race. 1 Quote

Alex_bassman Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 just to clarify everyone we are not going for the best 5 fish of the month. We are going for the length of your best two fish of the week added up at the end of the month. So there should be a total of 8 lengths added up on june 6th. Quote

fstr385 Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 I miss understood too. I had more 15-18" ones I could have put, but figured I could do better within a month. Im fine with either way, but prefer top 5 as well. Maybe next month? Missed one fish the first week then. Got these 2 biggest today, but hopefully can top em by the end of the week. 18&19" 98.5" overall so far in 5 2 Quote
Alex_bassman Posted May 21, 2013 Author Posted May 21, 2013 went out yetserday and got skunked AND almost hit by lightning. had to load the boat up in hail! Quote
CountBassula Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 went out yetserday and got skunked AND almost hit by lightning. had to load the boat up in hail! well that should be a hint that the fishing gods disapprove of your tournament rules :-P Quote
CountBassula Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 OK, so far I'm at: May 10 2013: 18" (post #37) May 16 2013: 20" (post #75) May 18 2013: 20", 17", 14.5", 13.5" (post #81) Not sure if I'll get to fish this week, maybe Sunday at a B-Day party I'm going to ;-) Quote
Alex_bassman Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 if we wanna do best 5 thats fine with me guys. 2 Quote
Super User MCS Posted May 23, 2013 Super User Posted May 23, 2013 Cool. Think best 5 keeps the competition tight and works out better for all of us that might vary week to week on fishing time. Man finally got out today it was ok, 3 fish, none over 15 again....Tommorrow is another day, planning on hitting the water. Hopefully the big bite is on. 1 Quote
