December 2013 Bragging Rights Finale

[BassinLou]

wow DS nice catch.

 

went out with my new rig i got for xmas got the quantum smoke its a sweet reel. caught the big one right out of the gate with a 6" pearl white senko worm he was 22" and weighed 5.5lbs was a great start to the day

 

the nexte one was a little bit later but still not bad he was 18.5 but only weighed 3 lbs caught him on a crawfish colored 6" senko

 

overall it was a good day not to hot and had a few laughs and only one heart break from being only half a foot of landing a nice 7-8lb lmb he jumped right at the shore and snapped my line like tinsle i almost cried.

 

Lunk you have an impressive stringer this month also. You are currently at 99". Great job. Do you have more fishing time in the tank or are you done for 2013? Sorry to hear you lost a pig yourself.

I gotta say, this month as turned out to be one of the better months for this competition. Although its not over, maybe for some of us, power plays could still be had. Dsidle is leading the way with 105" and also is the front nominee for  "Big Fish Honors" . Great job to him. Really the top 4 have done really, really, well. Great job to all of you.

Maybe there is a PIG out there waiting for me today. By the way, thanks every one for the recommendations on braid lines. Going to Wally World today. It's been great fun and just maybe I'll get lucky today. Tight lines to all

Gotta admit that this has been very fun to watch.

BUT DS I am 2, 20" fish away (given the 5 day limit) from being 1 inch behind you lol... But I told you if your wife makes me some brownies then I will just leave em on Instagram (PS: I like my brownies with chocolate chips in them please lol)

Just leave them in instagram, if you really wanted to participate you would have posted already. Yes, we get it you caught big fish this month. However for what ever reason you chose not to post pics. Now participants are enjoying their catches and posting, competition is ending tomorrow, and you want to swoop in and prove what? Enjoy your brownies and chocolate chip cookies.

Got 2 yesterday about 16" each, and a nice one this morning close to 18-19. I don't even know what I have now, nor what my measurements of my fish before since I cant find my notepad. I think someone accidently threw it out at my shop. Oh well.

I am your notepad..... with those fish you are at 88". Let's see them when you get the chance. Your top five are: 21" 18" 17" 16" 16" = 88"

AH, thanks. I will have to post the pics later tonight. Been so darn busy with these holidays and whatnot. This is why I don't think I will be able to run this thing. I barely have time to fish let alone head this comp. But I do still have good ideas to really mess with people and see who can make out with the challenges. I carved the notches in my seat cover on the boat that covers the 2 batteries in the middle. I now can use it to measure fish, and not have to worry about leaving the ruler thing in my truck when Im on the boat. However, this morning I still forgot to grab the ruler and put it in my pocket, and was on the other side of the hole when I caught the one this morning. Once again I used my rod as a guide, so I will have to figure that out as well, lol.

Your welcome... running this competition is not has easy as it may seem. Although its very fun, it does require a level of commitment, that I unfortunately, for the next few months will not be able to keep. We will talk about your ideas on Wed. 

[MCS]

I am curious to hear your ideas, this comp is kinda stale. For me at least time is my biggest enemy, and right now it just ain't happening with travel and OT and family commitments. Been fishing for about five hours total this month LOL. Jan isn't looking much better.

Whoa Lou calmn down I quoted DS cuz that was a joke between me and him that wasn't a shot at anybody else lmao. This is fun nothing more.

I'm posting these bad boys out when I get home I'm out with czar as we speak, charging my cell. I'm not gonna ruin the leaderboard tho. I'll just post some pics and what I caught them on.

This one pic is insane the crank was deep in this fish's throat got a cool picture. Vacation ends Janurary 2nd BOOOOO

[bostonsox2904]

lol.

Looking forward to seeing the cool pics tho

[AK-Jax86]

lol.

Looking forward to seeing the cool pics tho

The pic in my avatar is the one I caught today. If I waited to set the hook any longer, and I did it very quickly the fish would have swallowed it and most likely died I couldn't believe how deep it was and how it was hook, lots of blood I thought it was dead til she swam off slowly.

I will post the rest later when I transfer my pics from my phone to laptop

Not gonna lie and keep in mind I'm the one who would be knocked out but he is following all the rules put forth. I mean what's the difference between catching them all in one week or throughout the month. If someone caught all of theirs in the first week nobody would complain.

Don't want to be a rule breaker and nit pick but it is technically 5 days tomorrow 7 would disqualify my catches.

But anyway we would be tied @ 105" which means we would have to implement YOUR tie system of the biggest fish if we go by length YOU WIN (24> 23) if we go by weight YOU WIN (8.3> 7.7) too lol... Congrats man!

[AK-Jax86]

Need to figure out how to put videos on this site but I think I have to go the YouTube route then embed it here.

I saw fish bedding at my one spot got out my gopro to put it underwater but the battery was dead! Haven't used it in weeks someone told me if u leave battery in that it will drain it so I guess that was correct. So I was using my iPhone, not underwater of course) and I tried everything to get te fish to react pop'r, senko, Uvibe none worked. Then I put on a Ribbit frog and let it sink drove the fish nuts she kept bumping it and such but wouldn't commit. After about 15 mins of trying to get her to commit she had enough I threw it back out for the 50th time it seemed and she slammed it the second it got to the bottom it was pretty cool, getting that on the gopro would have been cooler since it happened about 4ft in front of me. (I only got the footage of it messing around with the frog for a few minutes)

Second cool video I got on the iPhone is a water moccasin trying to run me off I must have been in front of its nest or something. But it was in the water across from me by this log and then it swam over I got the footage right up til it hit the bank then I ran off I wasn't trying to Crocodile Hunter this thing lmao.

[fishingator]

^lol

[AK-Jax86]

^lol

Gator I am not going to lie I was terrified when I saw it come on shore I'm like what did I do to you!! I I mean you no harm lol

I must have done something to p*** it off that it was minding its own business then sees me swims across the pond and then up to where I am at. Could have been my cologne or my outfit idk lol

Logic is bit off catch them all in one week no body cares....catch then the first week of the month post them the last week then we have a problem it is the five day rule so catches are posted in a timely manner kinda insulting for Lou to track it and then get bombarded at the end also to add a degree of honesty. Post what u get when u get and there will be no confusion on if it was got before or last month etc. If aka wants to brag or whine about all his monster in the beginning of the month then he shoulda decided to play with us all and posted instead of decided in the last week he wanted to win again lol. I understand the challenge of winning in one week since he wins all the time but earlier catches are irrelivent if not posted so who cares just my 2 cents.

Right I get that but say in January I catch 5 fish January 1-4 and post them all on January 5 what's the difference between that and if I would catch them January 26-30? We all know the rules we are here for fun first and to share our stories if he caught his fish from Christmas Day til now it's all fair game. You can't ban a guy from playing just bc he caught his fish at the end of the month.

I believe my intentions where pretty clear in the beginning of the month new winner going for big fish. Then DS won that when the day prior I had the big fish. Then here we are today and I managed 3 more for a 5fish total all since the 26th of DECEMBER.

This is a friendly thread why all of a sudden did it turn into this? Made a comment directed at DS and it blew up lol. Nobody gets all worked up over all the man crushing that's been going on.

How is there any dishonesty here? PM me if u need to cuz this open forum crying like little children is ridiculous

This is a fun competion I believe it's called bragging rights we r just having a little fun. I kept saying over and over it's not gonna affect anything

Lol this is crazy what this has turned into.

Is the fact that I KEEP stating that I caught my fish from December 27th not registering? Is is a curse word and the site blanks it out or something. 12-27-2013 that might work
