This is the place to show your pictures and calculations.  If you qualified, then let the posting and smack talk begin.

 

If you are not sure if you are qualified, then you are NOT and shall be cast into the gorge of eternal peril.

 

If you can't figure out what this is all about then go here and see what you missed out on.

It's not a contender, but it's a start.  I'll post up as I catch bigger fish.

 

4-12 LMB, Tuesday, April 16, Local Pond

 

(4*16) + 12 = 76 oz.

 

NY state record LMB: 11-4

 

(11*16) + 4 = 180 oz.

 

76 / 180 * 100 = 42.22%

 

I got some work to do....

Way to start this thing off . . . .

 

A-Jay

WTG J. Glad to see someone is catching.

JIKA!

JIKA!

 

Shut up, Wayne.

LMAO!

 

I'm telling everyone!!  Rig burn time!!! 

 

BTW, the mouth in that second pic looks WAYY bigger than a 4-12.

This is a blue gill pond.  Al the bass are like that, big mouths, tall bodies.  They do not work hard for their food, just sit around, and gulp a blue gill if it swims by.

Looks like JF is the winner. Somebody must have caught a fish in the last five days.

I caught a 5 pounder but in Florida that's not big enough to even bother with the math.

I caught quite a few 3s and a couple of 4s this week at Table Rock but with a largemouth state record of 13 lbs 14 oz I really have nothing worth posting.  My wife and I spent the week there so half the time we were fishing for crappie as that is her fish of choice.  I did catch a 2 lb 14 oz white crappie which is 63 percent of the Missouri record of 4 lb 9 oz.

LOL, I just posted that to demonstrate the math and the format that would work well for this contest.  I intend to do MUCH better than 42%.

Im coming for you Francho!!! I'm determined to get a good one by the end of this week!

Here's my first entry -

 

6lb 6 oz smb, Tuesday, April 23, Lake Erie - in PA waters.

 

6 lbs 6 ounces for a total of 102 ounces.

 

PA state record SMB:  8lb 8oz or 136 oz.

 

102 / 136  = .75  x 100 = 75.00 for 75%

 

And a PB ~ Even though I don't look like it in this photo ~  I'm Pretty Happy  ! ! !      I'm gonna say I was just really focused . . . . . .

 

 

Now we are talking. Good job Andy!!!

Jeff

Here's my first entry -

 

6lb 8 oz smb, Monday April 22, Lake Erie - in PA waters.

 

6 lbs 8 ounces for a total of 104 ounces.

 

PA state record SMB: 8lb 8oz or 136 oz.

 

104 / 136 = .7647 x 100 = 76.47%

 

Sorry A-Jay.

There are a few more days left for upgrades on this trip.

 

76% Dwight??? Thats all you got???

I suspect this wont last but it sure is a nice fish. Congrats!

Jeff

Very nice smallies, Dwight and Andy. 

Wow.  And he's looking for an upgrade, folks.

 

Nice, nice work Dwight!

Great smallies!

alabama 

 

spotted bass

 

state record 8lbs 15oz=143oz

http://www.outdooralabama.com/fishing/freshwater/fish/bassblack/spotted/

 

fish weight 3lbs 4oz=52oz

 

(52/143)x100=36.36

 

caught 4/24/13 on lake jordan by skipping a shaky head under a pontoon on a boat lift.

 

 

not huge but its a start. two things i'm counting on. i catch a bigger one and everyone else forgets about spots    

 

you can see how worn the tail is from spawning. she was really under weight for this lake. she would score much better in a few months, or 2 weeks ago.

Here is my first entry, hopefully not my last :

 

 

6 lb 8 oz Largemouth

 

Sat April 20th

 

Kezar Lake, ME

 

6lb 8oz = 104 oz

 

State Record for ME is 11 lb 10 oz for a total of 186 oz

 

104/186 = 55.91

 

Hopefully I will be able to upgrade soon

Not bad at all, Mainebass.  It's going to take some work to beat these guys with the 75 percent plus fish. 

Anytime you dip into the 50th percentile with a largemouth, your doing good.  The smallmouth deal on Erie is outrageous, and there are guys (like Dwight) dialed into those 70th percentile fish.  Truth be told, I think Dwight is gunning for the 110th percentile.

 

Those smallies are ginormous. I have no chance at beating those huge smallies. They just don't grow that large out here that often. Lake Erie is an amazing lunker smallmouth producer. I wish I lived closer. I'm going to try and contend with largemouth.
