Went out this morning @ 6:30 only for an hour went 3/7 on the white frog

That's a little much lol

Junebug and watermelon red

Lou what's the head count now? Who do we have competing

Nice fish Zack, your picture is fine we aren't crazy like that over here.

Just read Lous post lol I was gonna be like you hiding you secret spot from me and Dave when we took u to all ours lol

That picture better be from a website!!! U holding out! Where is that spot u never showed me that lol FROG and swim bait heaven

Yea Lou I didn't want any extra added to my lengths, would have made it easier though lol

Lou I am at 58" not 77" with 3 fish. I only got a pic of two yesterday and posted the one I had from then other day. I will get to over 77" hopefully by the end of te motnth

Not a lot of people are fans. If it were some type of fishing resort where room and mayne even food is included then I can see people being interested. Me and my buddies in FL are looking for a reasonable rate for a lodge fishing trip As far as the increased chances of a double digit that defeats the purpose we all fish. It's for the chance we find a spot where we hook into a 10lber I had it twice that I've clearly seen the fish and maybe more on miss strikes and hook sets never kno. But that's the joy fishing to me and I am sure a few other hare my view

Yea man I would love to catch musky! I've caught pickerel and pike back in NJ but they don't compare to a musky. Pike put up a hell of a fight so I can imagine musky

I as talking to Dave and he wanted to do a $10 competition when us 3 go out and do it by biggest fish. I think he just want me and Derrick to give him $20 everytime we go out fishing it always seems like he catches the biggest fish lol. But he was talking about taking a trip to Okeechobee one weekend when fishing is on fire. We have 3 people in for it so far would be cool if we get enough members interested we could all set something up. I know they have fishing lodges there and I'm sure there are boat rental places. People with boats like fstr and Lou if you guys are interested could have one of us on boaters hope aboard. We could also set up a tournament day by day and total for the weekend. Obviously we would have to see who is willing and book a time we all can get away from the family, or even bring them with, and link up for our own Bassmasters tourney We can keep the idea out there and if people would be interested we could open up a thread to keep everything organized.

Lou all that happened except the broken reel over the past 4 days.

Lou funny you mentioned breaking my rod it happened AGAIN LMAO. I was casting out at this spot over in North Jacksonville and had one break off my 50lb braid lost my swim bait. Tied on another and cast out and feel a bass bump it twice. Cast out again and wind knot got caught around the pole and when I cast out rod snaps. Fortunately I got it from Academy so I can go exchange it.

I know it's early so hopefully I can replace those 19" with a few 20s. Talked to the wifey just now and she wants to go to Aquatica in Sea World 2 weekends from now so I will be going back to the honey hole with phone!

It was the black frog at the honey hole. Throughout the day I was using frogs (only got fish on the frog at one of the first spots I went to and the honey hole), swim baits, uvibe worms (watermelon red) , senko (watermelon red/black flake and green/white 2 toned), and mightee worm (june bug)

Was in Orlando all day yesterday. I hit up a few spots that I just stumbled accords and boy what a day! Let me first start off by saying mr. Always prepared with his camera phone dropped the ball yesterday. this one spot where I basically caught all fish over 2lbs, luckily I didn't catch a fish that would have been my PB! I can't recall how many fish I caught but it was atleast 25, I got pics of one 19" and another 20" from the earlier spots. Here's the story: Start off by the text I get from Derrick saying (copied and pasted it) "We was killing them!!! I got my pb 10lb Dave caught 2 8lb and 5 6lb I caught 3 5lb ill send you the pics in a minute." I'm like 71lbs of fish! Then he tells me he was kidding and they got skunked at OPCC, I hav to admit I was jealous that I wasn't there to see these fish lol so they got me. Now to real fish. I park my car at a similar spot to yours Lou on the side of the highway. I parked my car kinda far from lake, only spot that I felt cops wouldn't hassle my car being parked. I take my rod, scale, tape measure, 2 extra frogs and a frog hook, and my phone (oni thought I did) all in my pockets. I walk down to the spot and I see a culvert I cast my frog in front of it and reel it in the boom came right out from underneath and slammed the frog I set the hook fast and sling te fish up out the water like the pros do in the boats lol. I weigh it first because I thought it was 7 or 8 but weighed in at 6.8. Then I'm like Im snapping a pic before he somehow gets back in the water we all know my luck lol. So I go to grab my phone and it's not there!!! I thought I dropped it while walking but ended up being on the charger in my car. So I release the fish and then cast back out an do the same thing bring towards culvert. As I take the frog out the water a fish explodes but the frog was already out so I throw it right back out 2 feet in front and the fish slams it again I set hook and she went 4.9. I moved around the pond and ended up catching 2 more fish in the upper 3s and a few more smaller ones that I didn't weigh. Only stayed for a little over an hour then I had to go pick up my wifey and son from the airport. Figures I was in Orlando all day and the LAST spot I find is the honey hole and my the graces of the fishing gods Mr Always has his phone DIDN'T. I would have been well into the 100". I didn't bother measuring em since I didn't have my phone with me so just replaced that step with the scale. I could have posted all 5 fish if not more and took the rest of the month off lol. I have 3 fish 19, 19, 20 Lou, Derrick said he is competing this month, I don't think he has posted in here yet but he told me he was the other day when we were out.

Need to go out and set that new PB

Very nice pics

I'd def go there if I saw that story on the news

Lou great comment gave me a good laugh. Just got back from night fishing caught a few nothing worth posting tho going back out in the AM looking for the 18"+ fish

I'm going to be in Orlando I heard the fishing is on down there so hopefully I can catch some. Only thing is I will be there the wrong times to fish but never know the BIGGEN is only one cast away

We don't have to worry about our conversations going off topic we are a bass club lol

MCS I have always been a Ravens supporter people are sleeping because of all the departures on D but I think Flacco winning the Super Bowl flipped that switch inside him. I see a way different Joe than he was previous years I agree AFC North belongs to the Ravens
