Martin, Heck ya I am afraid of lightning. You saw in the news those 3 guys that got hit in South Dade 2 days ago. One of them is not here today, and another one may be circling the drain. The weather in my neck of the woods has been bad the last three days, as matter of fact, as we speak its getting pretty dark again.

 

this is how is done where I come from Lou: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Doyh7gGeoo

AK, going back to your story. I told you the big ones love to hang out by those culverts. Sometimes you think they are not there but if you look very closely in the shadows you will see them just hangin out. Those big fish are sharp, they are not that easy to coax sometimes.

 

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. 

AK, great story. You always get into a mess of quality fish and then something happens. You break a rod, break a reel, forget a phone, drop a fish, can't wake up, yada...yada...yada... and you still win!!!! Your killing me over here. I still have not been able to fish due to weather, and my weekend is also probably shot. Nice catches btw. Those 3 fish put you in at 77inches. Great job.

 

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

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.

Circling the drain LMAO! nice

 

Honestly, I would like to take that comment back, however its too late. . My filters were not on all the way, and I was on a roll typing to all of you guys. In hindsight, that is someone's  loved one and I should be respectful.

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

Thanks Martin, great clip from a great movie. In my younger years, I would not have thought twice about it. Now, with the Mrs. and the kids, I respect mother nature a WHOLE LOT.

Ak, I have you down for a 19" inch fish that you caught on Sept 2. You said in the thread that you would post the pic later on that day.

AK, this thread if I am not mistaken.

AK, my mistake. I re-read your post. In the pics you included the fish from Sept 2. Thank you for clarifying I will fix the mix up.

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

Ok,I guess you've gotta start somewhere,fished for about an hour today as soon as the rain stopped.

No hits on any soft plastics,so switched i it up and managed a reaction strike.

At least my fear of not landing one fish in the month of sept. is gone. Also i hope this is ok i had to keep recropping to get the pic under the file size limit,so you cant see part of his head if thats unacceptable ill figure something out.

16"

Zach, WTG!! Your on the board. I recorded your catch. You gotta start somewhere. Post your 5, and start to cull. You are in 3rd place right now. Let me also put it out there that AK is at 58" and not 77".

At least you can see the tape measure here.

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

Its gonna be a busy month for me, but lets have some fun.

How nice to grace us with your presence. The rumors of your demise were false. Lol how's it been?

It is ok Lou is say the wrong thing all the time. You're good man I know you meant no ill will with it just a new expression for me, but I will be careful how I use it, stick with the kids goldfish or gerbils and leave the loved ones out. Lol

Rumors of my demise? Meh, been busy the past couple of months. Just finished building my new boat puller. Now its time to get some fishing in. Might get 3 solid days in this month, but come October when I get the big motor on the boat, it should be a different story.

Nice. Some welcomed competetion.

Yeah last month was rough on time for me, but I did land a nice fish.

3 trips and you might spoil AK's party
