You guys are crazy..... ROTFL.

Nice one MCS. This bromance is spilling over. I guess I am the home wrecker in this situation.

I hate to see what you have to give Martin when we go out in the Spring.

Martin you crack me up. LOL..

We did have some pretty good laughs, but, LMG, for your own safety, stop mentioning our trip. Martin is getting very...very.... angry!!

MCS you are at 28.50" with 2 fish I am at 47" with 3 fish.

Dyno you are right, I have you down for 4 fish. I guess since every one else was at 5, and I was getting close to the end of the list I put you down for 5. my mistake.

Martin, maybe life will go back to normal for you this weekend, and LMG, will ask you to go out again. Or will he????......

Here are this past weeks standings: 1 . Rovingmutt 102" 2. Fstr 101" 3. Tightlines 98" 4. AK 95" 5. LMG 94" 6. Jaxbasser 91.75" 7. Martin 89.50" 8. Cutlerjay 83.50" 9. Fishingator 70" 10. Dynomyte 57" As you can all see, it's still anyone's competition. Everyone in the top 5 still have smaller fish to cull, which can be a game changer. Great job, for everyone participating. Even if you did not make the top 10, there was movement in the bottom 10 category. We have officially 10 more days of competition, to see if there is a new "King/Queen of the hill, or if the defending champ can pull off a come from behind victory. Stay tuned.....

I love frogging. Some areas are too good to pass up, but unfortunately, no matter how pretty it looks, frogs are not always on the menu. Today for example, bait fish was on the menu. The place we were at was full of bait. So we had to adjust and target the schooling bass.

PM sent.

Martin that fish put's you at 89.50" so close!! That fish culled one of your 16's .

LOL. Martin I would hate to see you on a bad day....

LMG, thanks again. I had a blast, we had some good laughs and we caught a mess of fish. No big one's decided to play, but 2 did decide to play peek-a-boo, in your boat. LOL.

Cutler Jay, nice pig!! WTG!!

LOL...LOL... Martin wasn't joking that you guys are going fishing tomorrow. That's awesome. When we get in I guess we will all compare notes on here. Good luck tomorrow.

Funny, every time I see a post with your name on it, Shan, I am saying to myself "another one!!!" whew, this time it was false alarm, LOL....

Bass Czar, I got you down too.

I got you down tightlines you are at 98" you still have an 18.5" to cull.

Good one.. LOL.

You got her good.... remember pay back is a ***ch !!

The location looks pretty. I have yet to fish around cypress trees.

I have the carbonlite spinner, never had experience with the Dobyns, but just like their b/c counter part, the spinner CL is nice. Very sensitive, light weight, and stronger than it looks. For $50 jump on it, that's a great deal.

I am with bluebasser, I will discuss on the forum general areas, but specific locations, nope. I will privately, discuss locations with members that I have known for a while, but a spot hunter, I develop my own case of lock jaw.

Jumping fish can be tricky sometimes. For example, when I am in my boat and I have nice bass that decides to jump, I actually shove my rod into the water. The bass will attempt to jump, but I take the slack out, and it just becomes a slow headshake. On the bank however depending on the type of cover you are dealing with your technique must change. For example, little to no cover I keep the rod pointing down to minimize the jumping as best as possible. If you are fishing around moderate to heavy cover, I actually exaggerate and raise my rod up to where the my reel is at shoulder level, so that I may pull the bass over the cover quickly. If you give the fish the upperhand in this situation, it will dig into the vegetation and you might lose it.
