my mistake I was supposed to multiply the length times the length times the girth then divide by 1200, so I just messed it up. 20x20x10/1200 will get it right.

Well my name is Frank Williams, live in Hawkins, Tx and fish lake hawkins, Lake O the Pines, Lake Fork, Lake Caddo, plus about 10 others. I am retired so I fish when and where I want, he he he. I sure like this board it has brought back a lot of things I had forgotten since I was out of fishing for about 11 years, but now I am back fishing tournaments around here and having a ball. Since coming back to fishing my personal best is a 7.5 lb on lake Hawkins. Salute to all and keep up the great work I love the articles and videos. Frank aka/alpha bravo eight alpha alpha charlie ps if you want to call for info on the lakes around north east texas here is my phone number 903-261-1913 it is my at&t cell which I have with me most of the time unless I runnnn out the door and forget it, LOL

I too have the problem of getting over excited night before a tournament, what I do is lay on the couch and put a boring tv show on and then do really DEEP breathing exercises and that will generally put me to sleep for about 4 hours, and that 4 hours will do me fine until I get off the lake and back home.

I imigine most of you already know this but some might not. If you are out on the lake and you don't have a working scale, as in you just stepped on it, LOL, here is a formula that will give you a pretty close weight on the fish. You could figure it with this formula measure the length and the girth at the largest part of the belly then multiply the lengthx lenghth x girth and divide that by 1200. So a 20 inch long fish with a girth of 10 inches would be 4000 and then divide by 1200 = 3.33333lbs.

That is one good looking fish. If you could tell me the length and girth I could tell you the approximate weight or you could figure it with this formula measure the length and the girth at the largest part of the belly then multiply the lenght x girth and divide that by 1200. So a 20 inch long fish with a girth of 10 inches would be 200 and then divide by 1200 = 3.33333lbs

clark I fished a tournament last saturday caught 15 fish but had to cull down to 5, caught them on just about everything but to the point when I weighed them in I had 7 small 1/2 digested brim in the bottom of my live well. So bass really do feed on brim

Idaholunker I sent you a pm I would very much like some white lumaflex skirts

IF you ever decide to sell one of those I want one, I will pay 25.00 for one of those probably wont even fish it but dang what a job on it.

I know this is going to be a silly question but,,,, what is Mend-it

In Texas your monkey balls are called hedge apples.

glen I have spent 5 hours looking for lumiflex skirts and cant find them on the internet, would you have a source you wouldn't mind sharing with me

where can you find lumiflex skirts

NOW I know what I have been doing wrong, thanks very very much

I am also sure there are a lot of guys and gals out there that like me can catch good limits of fish but don't have the money to get in the big pay tournaments, heck I can't even afford a big bass boat, living on social security you have to do just what you can. So I fish out of a 1982 kingfisher stick stear that I paid 1200.00 for and still catch 7-9 pounders and catch 5 fish limits in our little local tournaments in east texas all the time.

There are black large mouth, spotted bass, and guadalipie bass all in the pecos river in texas

I dont have any problem telling others about the spots where I catch fish or even what bait I caught them on. On several occasions I have pre-fished a tournament and told the members of the club where and what I used and then went right in behind several of them and won the tournament anyway. No two people present their bait the same way and the way I do it will not be the way they do it so they may or may not catch the fish I catch. Besides if the man upstairs intends for you to catch his fish he will let you if he doesn't you can throw until dooms day and that fish won't open his mouth
