Man... since I volunteered to spearhead this competition this month, as MCS would put it "I can't even catch a cold" its so bad it has me double guessing everything I do. LOL.

[AK-Jax86]

Maybe its the curse of the thread creator happened to Martin past few months. If you don't win Lou that's what I'm chalking it up as.

I think your right AK. Martin, I saw that you liked the post, how did your outing go?? Did you and LGMouth, happen to go out late afternoon?

I went out, fished for 2 hours and he never showed up!

 

And speaking of Karma, I made that video today and my favorite line was about the mono snapping... and what do you know, I hook not one but TWO biggens and my line snaps, twice!!! Once right after the take, he pulled so hard my 14lbs mono went pop (though I suspect a snakehead, then again it was in an unusual spot for snakeheads) and the second one I know was huge and he swam into a ton of vegetation and i couldn't pull him out, and snap the mono went! I know I know you've heard that a million times from me, but it's the honest truth! I came unprepared! Should have brought my other rod with 50# braid on it instead, I didn't think the spot would have so much vegetation. But the good news is they were biting I pulled 4 or 5 smaller ones.

 

Anyways, I'm really glad you guys enjoyed the video, I was watching it over and over at work and literally crying from laughing so hard! I can tell you I have even better subtitles for "LMG Wins" video so, LMG, deliver, and I shall entertain you, and shoot a prize your way (I decided to sponsor a small gift prize this month to the winner, and I'm sure I would love the smirk on your face giving it to you personally)

i just caught a couple after work to update my collection, i'm gonna put big red numbers to make it easier for me to keep track of my "collection"

 

my math has me sitting at 74.5'' which is still 3rd place (as of this post) but i'm inching my way towards the heels of #1 and #2

 

to get my score any higher i'm gonna need to start catching 14'' plus

I cant promise the win this month. I dont think I am going to be able to get enough time in to fish. However, next month is a different story. I will then have a 55# thrust trolling motor on the back of the boat. Can you say "day trip to Lake O?". Martin, we will have no problems getting around with the 55# in the back, and the 30# in the front to troll with. I will however post some pics of Snook and Tarpon that I hope to catch this weekend in the Keys.

Very nice! BUT... once the guys from up north start posting pics, you'll realize it's futile to post anything under 20" LOL

i wish you were here this weekend, I'm ready for another boat trip man! i know it's been a while, but life sort of got in the way... but hell yea! sign me up for big O boat trip!

[CountBassula]

Hey Lou! I was hoping to go out with LMG this Sunday, but since he's gonna be out on his salt water adventures, perhaps you and I should get together Sunday afternoon, say from 5 till sun down? Let me know! I have a ton of nice spots up here in Coral Springs

[JaxBasser]

It's been sloooowwww. I should have taken pictures of those 13" and 14" fish I caught a few days ago. Didn't bother because I was sure I'd get bigger fish but I dunno now...

[AK-Jax86]

I'm going out at 5am to chase the BIGGEN.

I haven't been to my golf course in a few days to extensively fish so hopefully I got something for you guys to look at early morning. I think I'm still with 4 fish at 77".

Sunday I have a feeling I am going to have a showcase of fish for you! I'm going to Orlando for two days so I am going to hit up that spot again but this time I will make sure my phone is in my pocket!

[JaxBasser]

Since I know I have 0 chance of actually waking up early I'm gonna go do some really late night fishing. Going to throw topwater frogs and the 10" rage anoconda and hope for some big fish.

If you are talking about going out Thursday night I was planning on doin some night fishing after the football game.

If you are going out we should link up. Dave will probably be down too but I think he may have work Friday morning but that doesn't always stop him from night fishing

[JaxBasser]

I actually meant going out in about 30 minutes to hit some ponds within walking distance of my house. I work at 6am on Friday so I don't think I'll be able to get out tomorrow night. I'm off again Tuesday so maybe monday night.

i'm keeping it humble for now, rather build a steady base than wait for something that doesn't happen

 

i'm only 2.5 inches from the top at the moment

 

and the weekend is nearly here

 

muhahaha

Went out this morning from 5:30 to 7:30 and the fish were locked in. I ended up catching 9 fish using frogs (black and baby bass). I missed 4 strikes and lost 4 frog, hook, and fish at same time thanks to MONO! Martin I feel the pain of the big one getting off because the mono snaps! Would have had my biggest caught at the golf course. I brought the frog in front of te culvert and the fish jumps out water I hook her and she shoots out pulling drag. I get her by shore going to pick her up and have no idea what happened but the line snaps and the fish is sitting there, tired, with hook frog and string in mouth. I fall to my knees and try to grab her by the tail but she swims off lol.

I wal to another spot caught 2 then go back to the culvert thow my frog same spot and then a bass slurps it. I set hook and it starts to go under ground in culvert then turns around and heads out to open water. I couldn't see it just felt it and it felt like it was the same fish. I get it to shore and realize it wasn't but put up a fight like it was a 6 or 7lber.

Pic shows around 18.5ish but the fish isn't perfectly lined up so I'm calling it 18". All the other fish were around this size but nothing longer.

So I'm at 5 fish 95"

[BassinLou]

AK, I got your fish down. Both you an Martin have yet to learn your lesson with mono. Drop it already. Go braid. Your heartaches will be a lot less. Actually, I am kicking myself in the butt helping you guys. I am at 0 fish still.

 

Martin, I will take you up on your invite for Sunday. I think the change of city limits may help me get some numbers on the board. PM, me the details. Thanks for the invite, I look forward to it.

[DynoMyte]

Man I can't catch a break, I have either only been catching snakeheads...  Im still at 0 as well.  I went out last sunday off University and Southgate Blvd, casting toward a bridge column, see a bass jump like a foot and a half out of the water and completely miss my spook. LOL  Just been the luck I am having lately.

Lou I'm braid all the way I have two of the same reels that came with and extra spool each. So I have 2 with mono and 2 with braid and ran out of both braids, my fault I didn't get more. I need to go to academy over the weekend to get some more braid.

I hate mono my girlfriend likes it for her swim baits and cranks she like to use when she goes with me. I have some fluorocarbon that I bought the other day I never got it spooled on though, will do it when I do braid. You ever use that before?

When you said university and south gate I misread it as southside and thought you were in Jacksonville but you are over by Martin

He is from Jacksonville I think he says he went fishing with a buddy that lives in my area

[BassinLou]

I use all three lines. You want affordable braid, go to Walmart if you have one close by. The sell PP, cheaper than BPS. I have never been to an Academy. On rare occasions I will use fluoro for frogging, and it does well for me. Mono, for frogging is a no, no for me. Too strechy.

[AK-Jax86]

Yea I go to Walmart to get line academy has power pro too, I use the slick and Walmart never has that academy always does so I go there.

I don't use mono for froggin for what happened today too make break offs and that's too expensive when it comes to these frogs and rare hooks.

[AK-Jax86]

Never use floro tho, Dave was using it and told me to get a spool of it cuz it's like a cross between mono and braid
