Here is our weekly wrap up. 1st Place AK with 5 fish 97", 2nd place MCS with 5 fish 83.5 inches. Jumping to 3rd place TightlinesJax with 5 fish at 79". Good luck to all of you this week.

I went out with Martin (aka:mvorbrodt) and came back home a little while ago. We caught some fish. Not that much bass. I caught a decent 15" bass on a frog, and Martin caught a nice 18". The highlight of our trip was that I caught for the first time 2 snakehead. A little one and according to Martin a decent one. We had a very good time. Martin, thanks again for the invite. It was pleasure meeting you. This fish puts me at 30". Pitiful I know. It's been tough out there.

Cute pic. Good family time. That spot looks great.

I fish with an Avid and I have a lews mg on that one. Great rod. I cannot speak about the ***, or the Savvy. What qualities are you looking for? That will help us narrow it down for you.

Hey Glades, its been a while. How is Nevada treating you?

Fishingator, we would love it if you came on board to our group . There is current thread going on asking where the bass fishing ladies were at, and we can proudly say they are over at the bragging club group.

AK, that could have been an Okeechobee record. The state record was caught above the lake and below Jax. Our competition can frustrate people, because we are going for length not weight. Fortunately, we have included the big fish category. Trust me, I may not have caught up with you in length but, I can still say I won in the big fish category once.

AK here is the site. http://www.worldfishingnetwork.com/florida/big-catch#.UjURsb7D9es

AK, go to the FWC sight and look up their Angler recognition program, and you will see some huge bass caught across the state. One guy caught a bass so big its length was in the 30's check it out.

FishingGator, nice fish. Your from South FL I see, way to represent. Would you care to be our first lady to take part in our FL bragging rights club in October??

If there are 20 inchers I will land them. Time is of the essence so I will take my time on the hooksets. I do not fish mono. If they can cut through 30lb braid, then I am going to have problems. AK, the state of FL record is 17lbs and some ounces, and it did not measure 24 inches. I have caught 24 inch fish and they are 7-8lb fish. I would think a 17lb fish would be low thirty's to upper, upper 20's

Rovingmutt, thanks for updating your profile, that is very helpful.

Let's see how we do tomorrow. Martin and I are all set, he was kind enough, and taking me to one of his productive spots. Stay tuned. I will report tomorrow night as well as the Sunday night weekly wrap up.

First off, Tightlines Jax, nice power move. You have jumped into third place, with 5 fish at 79" surpassing CapitolIP's 70". AK, I have been fishing, just not catching anything worth while. Finally, today I caught a 15incher. The month is not over yet, anything can happen. Remember we still have big fish category. So I may not hit the numbers but I can still land a monster, you never know.

You guys are putting up some beautiful fish. Congrats.

Sorry here is the fish, I forgot to post it duh???

Ok guys, after 2 weeks of trying I finally have a fish that's worthy to post. Here is 15 incher I caught at a lake in Weston. I was fishing for 2 hrs, and right before I was about to head home I got a strike. It was little but still he hit my frog. I cast again, and I got another hit. By the third cast I landed this 15 incher. Then it went quiet again. Martin I am looking forward to our outing tomorrow. Hopefully the weather cooperates.

Rovingmutt, we are honored that your first BR post, was in our forum. We would love to have you next month. My recommendation before you come aboard, would be for you to update your profile. What part of Florida are you from etc. etc. Second recommendation is to introduce yourself in the intro forum on this site. Look forward to competing with you next month. Lou.

Man... those are some beautiful fish. Now that's a vacation.

Off the top of my head, I have to organize my cash that I carry in my wallet with all the presidents facing the same direction, and bills have to be from smallest denomination to greatest. My wife knows it drives me nuts when she puts the money in her wallet completely unorganized and loose bills all over. LOL.

Keep at it. That's all you can do. Follow the advice you were given. Move around, and cover a lot of water. Pea's can become skittish like bass. They have been around long enough to distinguish baits. If something does not seem right they will dismiss it. Move around, and you will find a fish that willing to accept your offering.

Got you down AK, you are at 97" with 5 fish. You culled out your 18 incher.

I say hi, as I am passing by. I am usually being approached by people. Sometimes, they scare me when they do that , because I was not expecting it. I get too laser focused in some situations I guess.

dsidle, I got you down. I actually have down for 50 inches. You need 20 inches to tie for third as of today.

With that amount of pressure and those conditions, think like the Japanese, and go ultra finesse maybe. Light line, less than 6 lbs and small profile baits.
