Queen of the Hill none of us would have a problem with that. Welcome to our little friendly FL competition.

Go big or go home! Big bass love big baits. Never tried these ones before but I use the Yum Mightee Worm 10.5". I haven't used them in a while since I have been on a frogging binge for the past 4 months but when I did use them EVERY fish I caught was big. I went through one bag and since no stores carry them I had to order more online, to this day those 3 packs haven't been opened FROG TAKEOVER

Man I wish I had that problem! There aren't any Peacock bass up here in Jacksonville

Yea I like that we added the Big Fish category gives you guys something to shoot for since this length things isn't working out lol just playing. Lou I meant to ask you does your boat have a live well? Because if I catch that south fl monster LMB or Pea I may need that live well lol

People keep sayin buy this the man just had a child and his wife is nt working which means only 1 paycheck an boy do I know I just went through it BABIES ARE EXPENSIVE LOL. Being a new father I'm sure he feels same way but it's hard to bring yourself to make any self purchases of over $100 lol. So him getting any type of boat is out of the question for now. Until the baby is old enough and you can pass off buying a boat to your wife as "baby think about how much fun and memories we will have in this boat"

I was going to say google earth too. Or you could try to make a fishing friend in one of these neighborhoods you've been asked to leave. I personally don't like to lie either but if I were down to my last few fishing options I would have to tell that lie and say I love there. I would even go as far as to find a exact address and be like yea my parents live at 123 Now What U Have To Say Blvd. I'm just I visiting them. I was told to leave a neighborhood pond because I didn't have permission. One time the cops were called and the cop was cool he didn't even hassle me he just asked me to leave in case the person who called is watching then he said I could come back right after lol he was a cool guy, I didn't go bak that day though. I guess one of the people who live on the lake saw and approached me like 2 weeks later when I came back. He introduced himself to me and told me that I could park in front of his house and if anyone gave me any trouble to tell them I am visiting him. He was like I am retired so if anyone hassles you ring the bell. Sometimes you run into good kind hearted people like that

First place is what you want. Why is everyone gunning for second all of a sudden lol

I know those biggens can get into the 30s, Dave's PB is 13 and he said his was 33"

Lou someone on this site sent me some link saying the record came out of Okeechobee either this year or last, I'm not sure who but one FL membe posted a link in one of our competition threads. That could have been the record caught out of Okeechobee though idk all I know is that I didn't catch her so it doesn't bother me lol The fish in my avatar was over 24inches and a HAWG, I still to this day think my scale was off. On that site you showed me I have had bookmarked in my phone for a while, I even stored the number to call to verify a fish over 12lbs or whatever it is, labeled BIG FISH lol. Funny you brought that up because I use that as my "24" means double digits" I have even see fish on there that are double digit and are around 20". That's why I don't put too muc stock in length. For instance the fish fstr posts look like they eat my fish but mine are longer means nothing give me this fatties that fstr is posting anyday!

Stanley I swear by them!! Only frogs I use were you an original user or have you been put on by my countless post swearing by them lol I've had a few members PM me asking me or thanking me about those frogs I think ima call them up ask for a sponsorship since I plug their company 24/7

Makes me miss living in NJ then I walk outside here in FL and don't lol Nah but Mitch what a great experience to chat it up with Skeet and to even give him a little insight to NJ bass and musky fishing that's awesome

Nice fish

Nice fish NE gotta love them frogs!!

Martins productive spots? I expect to see a bunch of fish under 16" and snakeheads lol just playing good luck guys!

Yea man the FL record LMB I forget the weight but it was just under 24". I caught a 24" in one of our competitions and she weighed 7lbs. Should have been well into double digits but she was skinny. Length can be very misleading with bass. I've caught long skinny ones and short fat ones

Man I forgot about the big fish. The 5 fish I posted I didn't weigh but I highly doubt any were over 5lbs. I recently got a new smaller tackle bag, thanks Felix, to just take what I need wit me fishing I need to throw my scale in there. I was gonna stay in Orlando but decided to come home so I am gonna be going out tomorrow morning and then again in the evening after the eagles game.

NE you got me beat for the month my biggest is 20, got two of em so far

Yea man the big ones love them frogs!! That's why I keep it tied on seems like dinks are allergic and that's what I like!

Tightlines nice catches What has been working for you when you get to go out? As far as my secret goes there is none, FROG FROG FROG no matter what time of day, conditions, or if they aren't biting it the frog stays on lol

Lou in glad to see you on the board! I was a little concerned that you gave up on fishing and picked up knitting for the month lol

If I see someone fishing I always ask them if they caught anything and what they are using. I have found a few spots this way. I have been approached by people wanting to spark conversation while I am fishing. The worst is when I don't feel like talking and they want to ask me every question they can possibly think of about fishing. But nothing worse than someone who thinks they know everything about fishing and tells you what you should do or what you aren't doing right lol

Went out from 12:30a to 2a and managed to catch 5 biggest 1 was 20" and the rest were between 15 and 18". I was using white frogs and the biggest one came on a baby bass colored frog, lost the frog too my last one figures. So now my new top 5 is 19, 19, 19, 20, 20 = 97" I'm at Sea World going to do some fishing while I'm here in Orlando. Hopefully I catch some 20" to replace these 19s. I will post pics when I get home on Sunday after football of course

No I'm talking about the golf course that's by my house. OPCC once you are in you are in since you need clearance to even get in. So they don't bother you because if you are in that means you belong there

Could be in for some pics tonight! I stopped at my golf course to confront the security guard who saw me fishing at a pond he said I could fish few months back and stopped a cop who was passing through and the cop approached me, I think I told you guys about that. So I see the security guard car and someone inside I pull up and it's this old guy. I told him about the story of his coworker and what my intentions were comming here lol. He told me that guy got fired for whatever reason and he is a fellow fishermen so he doesn't care if I fish. He told me to not fish the front 2 from 5p to 10p because that's when he has to patrol and people are still there. As far as the others he said that's fine to fish anytime. He said he gets off at 1a and is going to start to bring his pole incase he sees me there. I finally got my afternoon spot back and a good night spot, eventhough I have never fished there at night yet tonight will be the first going out around 11:30p see what happens.

Did you take any pics? I always wanted to go shark fishing never have yet
