I just checked our group and I am in the TOP TEN!!! Probably for the last time this season. I guess it pays to register early. Good Luck Everyone.

One PM during my lunch break with two colleagues right next to me. 7-4 on my profile picture.

I am in

Move to South Florida, I am still in shorts and a T-Shirt here.

I would go with Still Smokin

When the bite is really slow or just completely non-existent, I practice my casting accuracy by targeting whatever happens to be there. Floating garbage, turtles and ducks are some of my favorites and can be very satisfying.

My best advise to the guys who make 5 casts and move is to watch the elites live coverage. At the last tournament Hackney would go hours in between bites but believed in what he was doing and won by a nice margin. The pros do not get bites every other cast and those guys can but lures in spots that John Q Public can't even imagine.

My wife occasionally also reads this forum, so I absolutely NEVER lie about when and how much I fish.

An absolute necessity for sankeheads. They are nearly impossible to catch on mono-filament.

Outstanding!

Great looking fish, was that your PB?

It wasn't a monster but these things hit like a truck and don't stop fighting.

I totally agree. I have been skunked, sunburned, lost, had tackle lost or destroyed and have even sunk a boat, but have NEVER had a bad day fishing.

I have been looking at Okeeheelee Park in Greenacres, FL for years during my daily commute but had never stopped to fish. Yesterday I decided was the day, picked a random bank and started casting. I was rewarded with this little guy just over a pound. I love going to water I don't know and catching fish.

I always carry an accurate scale. The fish in my picture weighed 4 lb 6 oz (my biggest this year). I was certain it was 5+ until I weighed it. Large mouth Bass are truly a scientific anomaly, they are the only thing in nature that weighs more in the water than they do in air.
