I forgot that the game was on tonight. Hope you are a Saints Fan cuz this dolphins run ends tonight and then it's back to mediocrity for them. I got Jimmy Graham in my fantasy pay league and I'm down by 2 points... I've been watching this a lot closer fishing competition is for fun my ongoing fantasy league is for the pockets lol

LMG said he may be taking a trip to Lake O. I wish the drive was closer or u would be there too lol. It says it's over 100 miles from Orlando so it's roughly 215miles away from Jacksonville. Lake O has been my dream spot to fish I have seen so mAny beast fish caught out of there and I heard on average the lake is shallow so you already know what I am thinking. I will get out there one day hopefully sooner than later, long drive though

Got 4 hours to go! I'm heading out to my golf course for some night fishing. I was there earlier for about a hour and some change caught 3 biggest being 20", lol I tried to stretch the fish out to get that extra inch didn't work lmao Had a really good day I was talking to DS through text. At gate I ended up with 6 1 20" and 2 18" rest under that. Caught the 20 and one 18" on a frog this morning then tey weren't biting so I switched to swim bait and caught the other 4. The 3 from the golf course came on a bullfrog colored frog, same one I never had luck with except for the last few times out. The 20" exploded on my frog and bent one of the hooks so it doesn't sit right on the frog. Down to 2 hooks left, hopefully I have some hooks that are on the frog somewhere in my tackle bag or it's time for another TW order, or BPS if these lengths hold up its close

That would be cool! Never really fished on a boat before. I rented a boat at a local Resivour in NJ but it wasn't the real boating experience lol

I wanted to do the Disney guide when I lived in NJ. Now that Iive in FL I would use an outside guide because I have transportation and the chance of the DD fish. Let us know hiw your trip goes and post pics of the fish

Lol yea I would make out like a bandit, I was joking about the weekend thing. I was planning on going to a Miami heat game that weekend when I make my trip

So when I make my weekend trip I only get Saturday at the glades lol? I'm going to have to schedule it so I can meet up with fstr Friday, you Saturday, and LGM Sunday to get my full south fl boating fishing experience (I may even ask captain Shane to let me hop on his boat for a YouTube video lol)

6lbs 10oz the scale weighs in oz. yea I checked the batteries but not a second scale. Hey man I'm with you my scale is off by .7 I will call her 7.1 lol

I used a 6 1/2 before the 7 and it's not a big difference except that the 7 is stronger. So instead of putting the money into the 6 1/2 id just go wit the 7. I'm fishing tomorrow so text me if you going out I may go early morning. I've been playing some GTA too going to be doing that and fishing tomorrow that's the plan anyway

This competition took off with you at the helm Lou you are the permanent runner of this unless someone wants to do it before Tuesday. Only thing we should do and I think you have in some posts is show the total and put the lengths of our 5 fish so we can look to see what we can replace. Also since we are all announcing our participation you should just include everyone's numbers so we can see where we stand unless that's too much then 5 is cool

Yea man bassresource is the way to go. I don't fish flukes much but watched their videos and it helped me a lot

Man I know your pain I have a few of these stories but that's why we fish

Nice fish Lou I went out cuz the eagles game wasn't even a game we got BLOWNNNNN OUT! Looked like a basketball score I was out for little under 2 hours and caught 6. 2 that were 19", 1 18", the rest were under that. I was using my frog in bullfrog never really had success with that color

She went 22" and 6.10 tested scale with 20lb weight and it read 19lbs 9oz weight probably isn't exactly 20lbs.

Man those are some monster fish

I don't need an expensive ultra accurate scale the digi I got is fine and accurate enough I've seen the ones they use on TV I imagine that is the one or type you are talking about.

hopefully the fish are on tomorrow morning. This weather has been perfect not hot and it has been overcast. Only problem is the water has been really choppy. I don't like frogging when the water is rough like that.

also that 7lb 24" fish I caught few months back was nowhere near the girth of this fish the 24" is long that's why can't go by pictures need the eye test. Felt heavier than any fish I held. So to say this one was only 6oz less than that no way. If that weight is actually 20lbs on the dot that would make the fish 7.1lbs

yea she felt heavy I weighed a 20lb weight scale read 19lbs 9oz so I'm saying its accurate, I doubt the weight is exactly 20lbs

Nah I haven't been there in a while. I've only been there few times and fished te same two spots I don't know how to direct you to them though. I have a video on my phone of a huge fish that I lost got she got wrapped around a tree in the water. The game is on so I'm not fishing today Which gander are you talking about I fished the one that's south by the outlets

I woke up ten fell back asleep so I didn't get out this morning. If they are televising the Eagles Broncos game then no fishing for me today Good luck to whoever goes out hopefully you catch some nice fish, even you too tightlinesjax

Funny I was going to be fishing with a sense of urgency that's why I wanted to go to Industrial Park with czar yesterday morning but decided to go to gate instead to save gas lol. Yea she felt upper 8 scale read 6.10 tho. One of the heaviest fish I've felt but according to the scale it's not lol. But that 21" I posted the other day was nowhere near as fat and weighed 6 so that's weird, that one was solid though no belly. So I think I need to check me scale by using a weight it's a berkley digital scale that I've had for years since I was a teen. When I had her in my hands I'm like yea my new PB. My motto is scale don't lie though

Yea I figured it out. I'm going out in the AM will update tomorrow

First off I hate these types of threads but had to on this one. Caught her in the rain at a spot where I lost the fish of my life, easily double her size! I was fishing with member Bass Czar, who also was with me and saw the first monster fish I hooked into but got snagged in pads and snapped off my mono. Has been 30lb braid ever since that day. I cast out to the same exact patch of pads where I hooked this ones older bigger sister, was using a black frog instead of a swim bait that big sis took. I reel it in and she slams it I didn't see her good at first just felt her. She stayed deep and I Czar is about 30yds away I yell "I GOT HER!!!" He runs over as I'm fighting her and deja vu... she runs into a patch of pads and I had a horrible flash back of her older sister lol. Now she's in the pads hung up and you could see her tail and some body. After a minute or two I get her free and Czar takes her out the water. Snap a few pictures, measure her, weigh her and then threw her back. Now I know the scale doesn't lie I live by that, but we both swear it did today lol, so I want to get some peoples take on this. Thanks for the input
