Went out this morning from 5:30 to 7:30 and the fish were locked in. I ended up catching 9 fish using frogs (black and baby bass). I missed 4 strikes and lost 4 frog, hook, and fish at same time thanks to MONO! Martin I feel the pain of the big one getting off because the mono snaps! Would have had my biggest caught at the golf course. I brought the frog in front of te culvert and the fish jumps out water I hook her and she shoots out pulling drag. I get her by shore going to pick her up and have no idea what happened but the line snaps and the fish is sitting there, tired, with hook frog and string in mouth. I fall to my knees and try to grab her by the tail but she swims off lol. I wal to another spot caught 2 then go back to the culvert thow my frog same spot and then a bass slurps it. I set hook and it starts to go under ground in culvert then turns around and heads out to open water. I couldn't see it just felt it and it felt like it was the same fish. I get it to shore and realize it wasn't but put up a fight like it was a 6 or 7lber. Pic shows around 18.5ish but the fish isn't perfectly lined up so I'm calling it 18". All the other fish were around this size but nothing longer. So I'm at 5 fish 95"

If you are talking about going out Thursday night I was planning on doin some night fishing after the football game. If you are going out we should link up. Dave will probably be down too but I think he may have work Friday morning but that doesn't always stop him from night fishing

I'm going out at 5am to chase the BIGGEN. I haven't been to my golf course in a few days to extensively fish so hopefully I got something for you guys to look at early morning. I think I'm still with 4 fish at 77". Sunday I have a feeling I am going to have a showcase of fish for you! I'm going to Orlando for two days so I am going to hit up that spot again but this time I will make sure my phone is in my pocket!

Maybe its the curse of the thread creator happened to Martin past few months. If you don't win Lou that's what I'm chalking it up as.

Nice fish we saw the pic Shane posted I never caught a peacock before so that fish you are holding is my dream fish Congrats man that's an amazing looking pea and snook

Lou I think it's cool we go off topic from time to time. We are all grown azz men so if there was something that we didn't agree with we can keep our emotions and "fingers" in check! Hell we had a Hitler video made about our competition lol that could be taken as offensive but we all see the no harm no foul intent so it's not a big deal.

If the mods are really following they should implement a new forum category call local friendly competitions. This comp we've been running has caught on in the north with the Mass guys. I'm sure if more people knew about this they would love to put together a competition for their home state. As far as guns go I don't have one nor do I see the need for one. As far as all you guys who carry them I'm glad I am on your bass resource friends list so we basically like family now

Nice fish

Always feels good when you can save a fish, or any animal for that matter

You guys are at it the bass should be turning in down here in FL soon enough the weather is getting cooler. You have some good fishing over in the NE area

That was the best video I have ever seen on this site!!! Martin thanks for the laugh my girl knows all about these competitions she will get a good laugh at this too thanks man lol

This just went the wrong direction I like clean fish I don't mess with sausage

That's a nice fish put a pic in the thread

I still can't get over the ski gear in FL weather I love it!

Anybody catching any fish with these baitcasters you speak of?

Nice catches my girl loves when she out fishes me happens often I have to admit lol

My goal is to go down there one month when peacocks are on fire and post all 5 peas for that month. You said baitcaster is better fighting the fish and I agree but I still have to get use to that. I gave up on the BC I need to try to get the birds nest out and keep at it.

I'm going to have to start training and preparing myself for this outing we are going to set up. Ill know what weekend I will be coming down based on the competition. Hopefully the transition from bank fishing to a boat won't be too different.

8-9 hours an outing is what it's gon take to dethrone me Lou but if you out that long I stand no chance.

I'm usually done around 8:30a whenever I can ge out on weekday mornings and it is so much more enjoyable than later in the day.

Good luck

I have the Tate pencil in green frog. I only used it twice and caught one. I was actually at dicks the day they put them out.

How do you not get uncomfortable? lol I get hot when I'm on the bank in a wife beater to are on a boat dress for snow

Thanks to Felix I won't ever forget my tackle. Thanks for the BASS Member bag I put what I need in it and leave it in my car. It makes bank fishing a lot easier thanks man again, I am going to try out those baits you sent me with it this weekend.

As far as numbers go it is still in the 90s we just have a breeze now which feels great when you are out.
