BassinLou

Since you said we are going on an honor system, I post with what is given to me, and that's what you said to us.

Tightlines Jax 3 fish 54.50" 10. Dsidle 2 fish 34" Big fish honors nominee Mouldie with 9.3lb bass. Lastly, no pics with measurements = no recognition

Bummer, pretty day the majority of the time, I decide to step out for a bit.... Thunderstorm! I am out til maybe Wednesday.

??????? 94" on just 4 fish is not good enough.... Wow!! Then you have some monsters that you are going post.

I figured you would like it since you have been trying to find a better "fish friendly" design.

Lgmouth what do think of Rovingmutts design? I like it. Are you a carpenter mutt?

Rofl good one, Rovingmutt. Great design, won't work for me however I can't put that set up around my waist.

AK, I actually messed up an gave you 2 extra inches. Still puts you on top but barely, Jaxbasser is right behind you.

Puts you at about 94". Now you know why you are up there.

Here is the post.

You stated in our conversations yesterday that you were around mid 90's with 4 fish. You also stated last night you were going to post those pics after you took you're family member out for some fishing.

I guess some online retailers do have more variety, but I am also fortunate enough that if I need something fast and important for a fishing trip, BPS is close enough to pick up rather than wait two days to a week. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

You guys have found that BPS does not carry a lot of things? Each BPS is designed differently I think. For example I have 2 BPS roughly the same distance from me. The one in Doral, is a smaller BPS. Their trackerboat dealership seems larger than Dania's but the store itself is smaller, and selection is poor. The BPS in Dania, I feel has a lot more tackle selection however. I have a Dick's sporting goods in Pembroke Pines and they are ok at best. For me, BPS suits me just fine.

Yeah, AK, you don't stand a chance stepping foot on that lake without $$ first.

Man I am jealous hearing about your guys spots, I have to avoid couches, shopping carts, bicycles, all kinds of junk in my canals. Maybe Lgmouth can relate. I am fishing for real urban bass, Lol, they are really skeptical of lures.

It's all about how you hold them. There was an article on Bassmasters I think last year, where this gentleman explains to you how to hold your fish to maximize the shot. Good read.

I agree with you. Your part of the state holds some real nice quality fish. I guess I know where a lot of the big fish honors is going to now, since your on board. LOL.

When it comes to big fish I always take 2. If I would have caught that 9.3 it would have been 3. LOL. That would be my PB.

LGMouth, I got you down too. You are at 5 fish 85.50. Man, you guys are making me work... Awesome...

Mouldie nice fish. Must me a long fish, because that sure is a slim 9.5lbr. The angle I guess does not give that fish justice. Our first fish for the big fish category.

Tightlines Jax and Cutler Jay I got you guys down. Tightlines 3 fish 54.50 and CutlerJay 5 fish 62.50. Good work guys.

Rovingmutt, don't sweat the pics. You provided pics with measurements, and that's all we ask for. Could there be a mix up with all the fishing action you had? Yes! Of course. In the near future when you get into them again, just take a full length pic and do the best you can on the focus. We are all good, and your numbers stay the same.

FSTR, Miami fishing has been slow. At least for me, for a while. You guys in Broward have been getting into them pretty good this week.

Now you know you can catch them, now go do that over and over again.

As promised here are Week #1 numbers. [Pls note some of these numbers are unofficial (UO) til pics and measurements are provided.] 1. AK 96" with 4 fish. (UO) 2. JaxBasser 91.75" with 5 fish 3. Rovingmutt 87.5" with 5 fish 4. FSTR 85.5" with 5 fish 5. Lgmouth 82" with 5 fish (UO) 6. Martin 69" with 4 fish 7. Fishinggator 63.50" with 5 fish 8. Dynomyte 57" with 4 fish 9. Dsidle 34" with 2 fish 10. Bassinlou 31" with 2 fish. There you have it folks. Very productive week for many of you, nice work. No big fish have been submitted yet. May all of you have an even better week 2.
