hookingem Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Dwight just catch a new state record smallie and put the case to rest.... Quote
gobig Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Dwight's on a roll. Seventy two percent is going to be hard to beat. I don't want to say game over, but he's making it pretty tough. I just calculated 73 percent of the Missouri largemouth (13 lb 14 oz)and smallmouth (7 lbs 2 oz) records and I need to catch a 10 lb 2 oz largemouth or a 5 lb 2 oz smallmouth to pass him. Try having to hit 15 1/2 lbs for a 73 percent score. Caught an 8.2 the other day and it wouldn't have even put me over 40 percent. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted May 6, 2011 Super User Posted May 6, 2011 I'm on the Board - This sweet smallie lunched a 3/8 oz hand tied jig (thanks Flukemaster) Here's her score ~ 4.75/9.25 x 100 = 51.35 I'm happy but like everyone, I'm hoping to up grade. Of course, Dwight has taken the "Up Grading" concept to a whole new level . . . A-Jay Nice fish A-Jay! Now all you have to do is to add a pound and change, and you've got a whole month to do it.

Super User A-Jay Posted May 6, 2011 Super User Posted May 6, 2011 Nice fish A-Jay! Now all you have to do is to add a pound and change, and you've got a whole month to do it. Thanks - a whole pound huh ? I don't know if that's a good thing or not. The PA state record smb is a bit smaller than the MI fish, so percentage wise we would have to find, hook and some how land that wild monster smallie that haunts your dreams every night . . . Either way, I'm heading out again right now. Did I mention I really Love this retirement gig . . . . btw- the wife says you should come up here and puppy sit so she can go fishin' . . . A-Jay Quote

It is likely I will have just as difficult a time reaching 10 lb 2 oz as you will reaching 15 1/2 lbs. They are both 73 percent of the size of our state's biggest fish. If Dwight can do it, we can. Never say never! Quote

A-Jay I know that big smallmouth lives in Cadillac/Mitchell and it is now haunting not only my dreams but my wallet as the trip is going to cost me $80+ in truck fuel for each trip. I'm pretty sure that a few west coast lakes like Portage, Pentwater, or White Lake also holds a few brutes that could get up close to 70%. I wish I could get out today, but I've got a bunch of work to get ready for the big Mother's Day cookout. Starting Monday though, I'm gonna try to get out every day. And I'd gladly come up to spend some time with the pack, if you guys can handle the spoiled brats I'm going to leave you with. My motto is "Have Milkbone - Will Travel"!!! Quote

BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted May 6, 2011 Author BassResource.com Advertiser Posted May 6, 2011 I'm on the board. A little over 5 lbs. I would do the math, but what's the point. She would have to be 3 times that size to challenge Dwight. Quote

Posted May 7, 2011 Author BassResource.com Advertiser Posted May 7, 2011 Lee, all you and I need is 12-lb 9-oz, but those last few ounces are going to be Killer Roger, I have only seen 2 fish caught over 12 in the last5 years. They are here, but not many of them. I love catching the 5ves though. She inhaled a frog in the light rain today. I was only about 50ft from the ramp with legoland in the background. Quote

Right you are, and therein lies the joke I never fish Summit but always head straight for the canal to Eloise. Maybe I should rethink that strategy. You're certainly deadly with the frog, even in that vodka-clear water Roger Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted May 13, 2011 Super User Posted May 13, 2011 Here is a new update from today 5/12/11. Caught this sweetie on a jerk bait. My first fish of the day. She was 22.5 " X 16" girth. She weighed 6lbs-7oz. That's 6.4375 divided by 8.50 the PA state record X100 equals 75.74. Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted May 13, 2011 Author BassResource.com Advertiser Posted May 13, 2011 FLAG!!!!!!!!!!! Unsportsmanlike conduct. Rubbing our pathetic abilities in our face. 15 point penalty and loss of down. Dwight's current score is now 60.74. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 13, 2011 Global Moderator Posted May 13, 2011 So does this mean Dwight has 1st,2nd,and 3rd place right now? Unreal, so I only have to catch an 8+lb largemouth,which I've never caught in the state of Kansas before? No problem. Dwight, you are the master. Quote

Super User Lund Explorer Posted May 13, 2011 Super User Posted May 13, 2011 Remember you started it. Keep giving it to 'em Dwight. It's obvious that you are making the most of a great resource around Erie. When you combine good fish and a great stick, you get these results! Keep it up! Quote
bassmajor Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Nice fish everyone!!! Finally got something worth posting. Got this prespawn girl last weekend on a t-rigged flappin hog. I was a little late for work that morning but it was worth it She weighed in at 6.9# on my scale. It was in Iowa where the record is 10.75 (don't laugh southern boys! haha). 6.9/10.75 X 100 = 64.19.

Super User deep Posted May 20, 2011 Super User Posted May 20, 2011 This seems to be the first entry from VA! We need to fish harder than this. 7 lbs 11 ozs on an LC Gunfish. State record: 16 lbs 4 ozs. Percentage = 47.31. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted May 20, 2011 Super User Posted May 20, 2011 Nice work! Good looking fish. Quote
FL_Sharpshooter Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I'm almost too embarrassed to post mine. Dwight's fish looks like it ate 2 or 3 of mine, lol. Quote

Super User Lund Explorer Posted June 3, 2011 Super User Posted June 3, 2011 Crunch Time. A-Jay Dang A-Jay, don't scare me! I saw you bring this up and was sure you were showing off some Big Ol'Hawg. Maybe you can file for an extension seeing as how you were truckless over the last weekend! Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted June 3, 2011 Super User Posted June 3, 2011 Dang A-Jay, don't scare me! I saw you bring this up and was sure you were showing off some Big Ol'Hawg. Maybe you can file for an extension seeing as how you were truckless over the last weekend! I wish I could back up a brash and bold statement like "I don't need no stinking extension" - but the truth is there is not enough time in this Season to top the Behemoths post up by that stick over in Erie, PA - A-Jay Quote
Fishing Cowgirl Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Agghhhh I've been catching them, but nothing over 5lbs. With a state record of over 17lbs.. oh well. I'm still fishing, who knows. Some very nice fish being posted. Congrats to all. Quote
