amazing numbers, nice 23"

I'm also very surprised by the good luck i'm having, i just started back fishing in march, and in july, aug and sept most of my fishing was really bad, 1 maybe 2 fish at most, and alot of skunked days, i only have 1 more day this month when i can get out and improve the score, i think with cooler temps everyone will see more fish this month than last, thanks for letting me join the group here's another pic from today, 1 inch at time the measuring board was great,

It was a good day, i think the fish are getting a little more active with the temp drop, aug and sept were real slow for me. anyways, i am sure with this group i won't be leading for long, too many good fisherman

I was able to get out to my favorite fish spot today, Tenoroc fish area, butterfly lake. I was on the water at 6:00 and started throwing a torpedo prop and a shatterbait and got nothing, changed to a white fluke throwing to the shallows with a slow retrieve, got nothing till about 8:00 , when i got my 1st fish, 20 1/2 in the boat, no skunk today, whoopee. Keep working the fluke real slow and got 4 more, 8, 8, 13, 18 1/2, then the bite shut down about 9:00 so i started looking around and went to another cove were i saw some schooling action, i hooked onto what felt like my best bass ever, fought for what seemed like about 5 minutes, everytime it would see the boat it would make another run, but finally i felt the pop, lost it. crap, crap oh well thats fishing, grrr anyways keep chasing some schools and did get 4 more, 1 i got on a spook (Love topwater) 21, 18, 13, 16 so a good day fishing, so hopefully i can catch up a little, next sat i can't go fishing, have to go to a training class for my work. so, lou i think i can cull the bottom 3 with the 21, 20 1/2, 18 1/2 i think my top 5 are 22, 20, 20 1/2, 21, 18 1/2 = 102 ?!! rovingmutt

those are some good fish, love to use frogs, nothing beats topwater

good idea

thanks lou, I figure this will make it easy to get a good pic,

to all thanks for the incouragement etc...., i really like this forum and sportmanship is amazing, this is my first year fishing in about 30 years, started doing it to spend time with my son(9 yo). i am post a test pic to see you guys can read my new setup i made today' again, thanks to all here the mutt let me know if you read the tape

lou i have thought about this some more, and i am going to with draw all my fish because they are too blurry and i think it would not be fair to the others, i will not enter ant more fish till i get better at taking pics, thanks rovingmutt

I agree with you it does look the same, i had so many pics and hard time keeping track, Lou, i think i want to withdraw the last fish because i screwed up my pics etc, i think that it would not be fair to keep that in there, i do have more pics but they are a lot worse then these, thanks for calling me on this,

well i got out to tenoroc fish mgt area this morning from 6 to noon and got 6 fish, i caught all of them on a zoom white fluke, this was my first time taking pictures and i did poorly, so if any of these pics are not good enough i will be ok with that, i will let lou decide, i did get 2 really good ones a 20 inch and a fat 22 inch, the other were 16, 15, 14 and 12. i will post the pics as soon as i learn how to do it. 1st fish is 22 inch, 2nd fish is 20 inch 3rd fish was 16 inch 4th was 14 inch 5th was about 15 or 16 but it hard to see it in this pic lou let me know if any of these pics are ok

hey lou, I,m in, good luck everyone

Boy this was fun to read about this month, i am in for oct lou,

I did do some salt water fishing for awhile, but i find freshwater bass fishing much more enjoyable and peaceful, i drive over to lakeland because of the many lakes to fish at, over here in pinellas it is very crowded etc,

I have been watching this forum for for a couple of months and you seem to be having a lot of fun etc... i would like to join in next month if i could, rovingmutt
