Dang man talking a lot of smack for not posting a fish lol. Just curious about how many hours you fished this month? Seems like I am out of town everytime the weather is good.

.

I saw them in Instagram. Beauties!

Heading out soon. Forecasts calls for 15-20MPH winds. They call it breezy. In reality, you add 5 MPH to it and now it becomes windy... LOL. I may have to change tactics. Good luck to the rest of you around the state.

Of course they are calling for 60% chance of rain/thunderstorms tomorrow

It was raining this morning too just lightly though. Me and Czar went back to that spot for just under 2hrs before rain got heavy and I set my official PB today at 7lbs 7oz!!! Yesterday 6lb 11oz and now this!!! Posted her on FISHtagram lol

At this rate I may have 5 fish within the 5 day time restriction

[Rovingmutt]

Well it was slow for us today, only got 4 fish, 2 on a floating minnow crankbait, 1 on a spinner, biggest on 1/2 oz rattletrap silver/red

 

Joe's biggest today, 17 inch

 

 

that will be it for this month,

lol I can only go by what I saw in the text. Tomorrow morning I hope you get to see some of these fish up close! Funny thing is when czar caught his PB yesterday I got there about 5 mins after he released her. Then when I caught mine yesterday he helped me get her in. Then today he same thing he got there 5 mins after I released my PB... When his *** should have been there with me but he was too busy trying to scout a new spot!!! I could have used a photographer only 1 pic I got does her justice

The Bandit got off early today so we went fishing at a new spot. A friend came with. Fun but frustrating day for me lol. We caught 25 total in an hour and 45 minutes. The Bandit got an 18", 17" and 14" right off. They should have been mine lol but I gave him choice spot for finding this hole. I only caught 5 and the two biggest were 12". It was nice to be back out. We were all fishing Carolina rigged watermelon red and green or similar.

[BassinLou]

Mutt and Dsidle I documented your catches. Joe finished up at 95" WTG!!! Dsidle I gave you 22" follow the bottom part of tail of that fish and the tail is even with 22". That puts you at 99". Congrats and that makes you the man to beat!! I told you guys it only took one to two key fish at this stage to change the standings. 

[FD.]

Went out today hoping to make a run at the leaderboard, but no.  4 dinks and that was it.

My day at the glades went well. Not as well as the Northern guys have been doing but none the less we had a good time. Wind was blowing hard from the East at 20 -25+ MPH and the day was overcast all day. We boated 45 fish using  an assortment of baits. I just stuck with Pitching and Frogging. My brother in law, used trick worms, flukes, and frog. Unfortunately, from the amount I caught none were contest worthy. Oh well. I did catching a pretty nice mudfish on my new Dobyns and it handled it easily. I also caught a beautiful 11" Oscar on the frog. That was my first. I am done for December. I have to rest my arm so that LMG and I can tear it up on Wed. Enjoy the pics.

Not bad. Got a good tip to fish snakes in the holes out there. Also, we will most likely be doing a lot of flipping. Gonna get a good arm workout I hope.

Cool fish Lou! Dside nice job you're killing it this month!

[Diggy]

I caught some nice fish today on topwater. My first was near 5. I have pics, never measurements but Ill upload in a bit.

that Oscar is pretty cool looking cant say Ive ever heard of it let alone catch one, don't think we have em up here.

ok so the story of my fish.  had to go out w the popr bc it has absolutely been on FIRE lately for our crew.  any way to get topwater strikes im gonna do it, fishing the senkos and lizards and jigs almost puts me to sleep.  so I got out after work around 330, missed a nice fish on my first cast.  not as big as the one I got but in the 18-20 range for sure.  the big guy smacked my popr about 10 feet in front of me scared me to death and I ripped my lure back on shore, just tossed it back out to the spot in front of me and popped it once and it smashed it put up a hell of a fight for being so close to shore.  took out some drag and mangled my lure.  snapped a hook off the back and bent the front ones all up.  that was the extent of my action for the day, hopefully getting out tomorrow w AK and czar if the rain holds off, I haven't got to 100" in any month so that's gonna be my goal, I think I have an 18 or 18.5 to get rid of.  heres the pic of the lure.

^{Drat, my honey hole has gone totally flat. After catching those PIGS, I haven't had a hit in two days.}

^{Tough way to lose the competition BUT there's always tomorrow. Here piggy piggy piggy. Great pics of those pigs guys. Well done.}

[dsidle61]

Ladies and gents I can officially say I am this months winner (I could possibly give ak a run even if he ninjas his fish) with the pig I just pulled in. I'm still at my pond so I'm going to make you guys suffer a little while until I get home! But I will say it's a PB by a lot for me

LMAO I was about to say the same thing on here

Man congrats on the win for the month and congrats of taking my BIG FISH TITLE FROM ME MAN!! Mine was 7lb 7oz so u can imagine.

We had another great day! Pics to come! The Bandit, our friend and I went to new spot #2. We caught 29 in 3 hours and missed a bunch more. We had probably 10+ that we lost at the little boat we used. The boys lost them on mono left and right. Some of mine I just didn't set well and they spit. We fished Carolina rigged zoom finesse worms in watermelon w red flake. I used a crank for a bit but couldn't commit to it with the boys hooking up on worms. The coolest one was one that stole my worm and when I re rigged I cast to the same spot and he bit again!!! When I got him to the boat he had my first worm still in his mouth!!! I took a pic but it's hard to see. I also got a nice 19". She weighed 3.6#. This month all I posted was one 12". Yesterday I had a 12". Today I have a 14", 15" and a nice 19". The month may be closing but I am off Tuesday and plan to head back out and give it all I've got! I will upload pics in a bit!

Good for you Gator. I was rooting for you to get out on the water. I am glad the outing paid off for everyone.
