That's what i've been doing up here and I got a 21" ,19.5", and 18" in the past few days... I'm at 93" as of now

[BassinLou]

First off, Tightlines Jax, nice power move. You have jumped into third place, with 5 fish at 79" surpassing CapitolIP's 70".  AK, I have been fishing, just not catching anything worth while. Finally, today I caught a 15incher. The month is not over yet, anything can happen. Remember we still have big fish category. So I may not hit the numbers but I can still land a monster, you never know.

Man I forgot about the big fish. The 5 fish I posted I didn't weigh but I highly doubt any were over 5lbs.

I recently got a new smaller tackle bag, thanks Felix, to just take what I need wit me fishing I need to throw my scale in there.

I was gonna stay in Orlando but decided to come home so I am gonna be going out tomorrow morning and then again in the evening after the eagles game.

Let's see how we do tomorrow. Martin and I are all set, he was kind enough, and taking me to one of his productive spots. Stay tuned. I will report tomorrow night as well as the Sunday night weekly wrap up.

[BassinLou]

Rovingmutt, thanks for updating your profile, that is very helpful.

Yea man the FL record LMB I forget the weight but it was just under 24". I caught a 24" in one of our competitions and she weighed 7lbs. Should have been well into double digits but she was skinny.

Length can be very misleading with bass. I've caught long skinny ones and short fat ones

Martins productive spots?

I expect to see a bunch of fish under 16" and snakeheads lol just playing good luck guys!

Nice fish man! I see the same thing sometimes I hook a fish and it is 4# hook another the same length and it will a pound or two heavy. Funny huh.

Land of the mythical 20"er? NO MONO Lou remember those bass have teeth like buzz saws where Martin fishes lol

[BassinLou]

If there are 20 inchers I will land them. Time is of the essence so I will take my time on the hooksets. I do not fish mono. If they can cut through 30lb braid, then I am going to have problems.

 

AK, the state of FL record is 17lbs and some ounces, and it did not measure 24 inches. I have caught 24 inch fish and they are 7-8lb fish. I would think a 17lb fish would be low thirty's to upper, upper 20's

[BassinLou]

AK, go to the FWC sight and look up their Angler recognition program, and you will see some huge bass caught across the state. One guy caught a bass so big its length was in the 30's check it out.

I really wish I got to measure my PB... Any ideas or guesses for length, I know it is hard to tell... Pic on the bottom is 21" 4lbs, pic on top is PB 6lbs 5oz

Lou someone on this site sent me some link saying the record came out of Okeechobee either this year or last, I'm not sure who but one FL membe posted a link in one of our competition threads. That could have been the record caught out of Okeechobee though idk all I know is that I didn't catch her so it doesn't bother me lol

The fish in my avatar was over 24inches and a HAWG, I still to this day think my scale was off. On that site you showed me I have had bookmarked in my phone for a while, I even stored the number to call to verify a fish over 12lbs or whatever it is, labeled BIG FISH lol.

Funny you brought that up because I use that as my "24" means double digits" I have even see fish on there that are double digit and are around 20". That's why I don't put too muc stock in length. For instance the fish fstr posts look like they eat my fish but mine are longer means nothing give me this fatties that fstr is posting anyday!

[dsidle61]

dsidle, I got you down. I actually have down for 50 inches. You need 20 inches to tie for third as of today.

Thanks Lou, i was trying to go off memory bc i didnt feel like digging for my old posts!  Hopefully ill get out tomorrow to get my 5 fish and hopefully I can make a run in the battle for 2nd and 3rd place!

[AK-Jax86]

I know those biggens can get into the 30s, Dave's PB is 13 and he said his was 33"

[AK-Jax86]

First place is what you want.

Why is everyone gunning for second all of a sudden lol

[BassinLou]

AK, that could have been an Okeechobee record. The state record was caught above the lake and below Jax. Our competition can frustrate people, because we are going for length not weight. Fortunately, we have included the big fish category. Trust me, I may not have caught up with you in length but, I can still say I won in the big fish category once.

[AK-Jax86]

Yea I like that we added the Big Fish category gives you guys something to shoot for since this length things isn't working out lol just playing.

Lou I meant to ask you does your boat have a live well? Because if I catch that south fl monster LMB or Pea I may need that live well lol

Hey all!  I've been missing off the board since the spring.  This is a great idea!  I wish I had gotten in this month.  I moved and am enjoying finding the local holes.  We have been getting out about once a week so I am going to try to give it a run for October...that is if it's ok to have a Queen of the Hill .  Good luck everyone!
