December 2013 Bragging Rights Finale

[MCS]

Nah guys me and Lou were talking about all your cracks about counting fish earlier and u would win like u got a problem with the rules or wanted a special exception. He just stated the rules, as far as I read nobody DQ any catches. Ya boy DS got it all twisted rules n DQs, I just set that straight lol so post em up from the 27 and get on the board bro clock is ticking.... waaah waaah waaah lol I think it is my nap time been up waaaay too long lmao.

[MCS]

I don't think you want that man it would not be organized that's why I like when Lou does it.  If I did it post at your own risk and keep track of your catch.  All you would get from me is a quote saying nice fish.

 

If you want me to then I'll do it lol. Lou will be missed a lot more if I do it lmao

 

Simply put everyone likes to go to Disney World but its a lot better when you are with someone who has everything planned and mapped out so you don't have to be that person and you can have fun and enjoy.

I hope when flag football season is over that Lou returns as the Commissioner of the Florida Fishing League (FFL)

Here are my cool pics

 

Caught a lizard on my KVD 1.5 felt bad because the little guy died. This was sometime last week same with next pic.

 

This little guy had a bluegill, you can see its tail in its throat, and my KVD, the one with the lizard, stuck in its mouth. I have only seen this in pics on the internet pretty cool to see it in one I caught... greedy little fish

 

This one I caught today with Czar. She INHALED my crank. Took me forever to get the hooks out as you can imagine came centimeters from being a dead fish, and she was bleeding heavily. I didn't think it was going to survive but when I put her back in the water to revive she swam off slowly.

Heres the 2 from Sunday and the one from yesterday morning. The 2 from Sunday are an easy 16", and the one from yesterday morning was to my surprise a 20" fish. Once I looked at the picture and then measured the rod, it was an easy 20", maybe a little more. Darn rain this morning, but Im gonna try for a bit, maybe a little after work since I am going to close the shop about noon.

I corrected your 18" to 20" and that places you at 90". I think that has been your highest ever submitted. WTG!!

That is a very creative title, and it has a nice ring to it. LOL.

 

To piggy back off this thread, I hope to be back after my season is over. I understand that many of us are busy, and to take over this responsibility that I volunteered for may be a big undertaking if you want to do it right. Like, I mentioned yesterday, I will be fishing with LMG tomorrow, and I will be picking his brain as far as his ideas for this competition. I agree with MCS, this format may have gotten stale. None the less, as a competitor it was still fun for me. This competition as innocent as it was, made me a better bass fisherman at the end of the day. I learned a great deal while I  been doing this. AK, mentioned another thing about Disney world which is true. It's a lot easier to have fun and enjoy the experience when there is someone else doing the organizing. That's a perfect example, of why I volunteered to do this and believe or not I spent 6 months "organizing" this competition trying my hardest to bring in new blood and keep this competition going. 

       I am definitely going to miss this, that's for sure. When I come back, I hope to return with fresher ideas and formats. I wish all of you the very best, you are all great anglers and you make Florida proud . May all of you have a Happy and Healthy New year, and be safe with all of the festivities tonight. I will be home tonight, because I want to start the New Year with what I love doing. BASS FISHING!! 

      I will post our final numbers later today. It was fun hangin and braggin with you guys and gal. Til next time.

[Jacob044]

Thanks again Lou and I'm done posting cuz I resolved to just go out and catch a pig or two and watch the aerobatic shows. Been fun though and I wish all guys and gal the best. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

[LgMouthGambler]

Got me another 20" this morning. This time I had my ruler with me. Might be the same fish from yesterday's. Gonna have to study the pics later.

Jacob, it was great having you. Thanks for being part of the gang. Don't be a stranger and post those aerobatic lunkers.

Lou I hope you don't leave us all hanging and still pop in from time to time to share info and joke around with all of us.

I'm thinking that when you take your leave of absense that's its just strictly the running of the comp. Because if you are leaving the thread all together it will definitely die you add to the great conversation and joking around that brings all us FL guys and even people from other states back to this thread.

No, no..... I just want to put it out there, I am just taking a leave of absence from coordinating the competition. This forum is my home and I am not going anywhere. I will be sharing my catches and sharing my outings on here. Someone has to keep you knuckleheads in line. Lol...  

[BassinLou]

Ok gang, here are the final numbers of 2013. I was holding for Lunkmaster, who said he was fishing this morning, but I have not seen him around. So here we go.

3. Jacob: 21.5" 21.5"  21" 17" 16.5" = 97.5"

4. Joe: 21" 20.5" 20.5" 17" 16" = 95"

13. MCS: 14.5"

 

There were a total of 22 participants this month and 13 posted fish. As you can see the top 5 put up some great numbers this month. This last week there were several surges, and some of you moved up while some of us moved down. Like I said a couple of weeks ago, when the smoke settles we will see who the "King of Hill"  will be. This month it was clearly Dsidle, not only did he have longest string of fish, he also landed the Biggest fish of the month with a 8lb+ monster. Great job, and congratulations on winning this months contest. 

 

Like I posted earlier today. This will be it for me coordinating the Bragging Contests for several months. It was fun. We had are ups and we had our downs but we stuck with it. I will be around posting, the glades is going to start firing up soon, so I will share those experiences with you all. Happy New Year!!

[fishingator]

Thanks Lou! I just got done but didn't catch a thing worth mentioning. Went back to the first new hotspot but the weather cooled off a smidge and they weren't interested. We are having a last minute get together so I had very limited time. Happy new year all and congrats to the winners!

[FD.]

I had a 14.5 today in Toho but that doesn't move me far up the leaderboard.

That fished would have placed you right behind me. You would have been 7th. Looking at those numbers both of us would have needed some hail mary fish to hit top 3. LOL. It was nice having you on board this month. I hope its not the last we see of you on here FishinDaddy.

[LgMouthGambler]

[lunkmaster24]
