It was fun while it lasted LOL, I'll upgrade but so will everyone else...

I doubt mine will last long either man lol. I think we'll both have to upgrade a few times to contend. What bait were you throwing? Got to love it when they choke it head first like that

 

I boated a couple 4 pounders this afternoon (oddly, both weighed exactly 3-15) then finished the day with a 6-10 (23")

for a state score of '38'. Though I've got the weight trend moving in the right direction,

I'll need a double-digit bass to stay in the race against the BR hotshots.

Now that scale never lies. Looks exactly like mine.

That scale is the bomb! Nice fish, too. Well done, Rolo.

Roger I'll gladly take that 6-10 off your hands if you don't want it great fish. Hope you tie into a DD.

Guys, I'm beginning to think that the bass are having fun with me.

Today, my best fish looked about a pound heavier than yesterday's best.

NUH UH, the trusty Brecknell told me that my eyes ran out on stems and it threw away the extra pound     

Today's girl weighed 6-11, exactly one-ounce heavier than yesterday's (pathetic).

Yeah I've got pictures of her, but for one lousy ounce I didn't bother going through the FTP process.

I'm not posting anything until I get something that's at least 50%. Not like it matters, I know I'll need a 70%+ to even contend with Dwight 

NY State

7.0 lbs / 11.25 lbs = .62222222

.62222 * 100 = 62.2! Good score i guess, more than halfway to the state record!

At least you are catching good ones Roger, Nicole and I have been catching a lot of fish but nothing over 4.

Lee, I'm sure you're tired of hearing this from me, but next month (May),

you & your lovely wife will be scooping up the fat ladies 

 

 

Speaking of ole bass, the girl below with the belly sores threw me a curveball.

I thought she weighed a pound more than my 6-10 on Saturday, but weighed only "1-ounce" more (6-11)     

Lee, if you & I hope to stand a chance against the BR sharpshooters,

we need to be gunning for a 12-pound hippo

I saw Wayne Yohn weigh a 14 pounder out of Kissimmee a couple of years ago. So at least we have the genetic pool to compete.

First entry for 2014 in the smallmouth category at 5.50lbs.  PA state record is 8.5lbs. 5.50divided by 8.50 =s .6470588 X100 =s 64.71.

 

and with that.......here comes Hottle's greatest hits, vol.2014

Nice Smallie Dwight.

I'm really looking forward to being out on Lake Erie Again.

When does this competition end?

When does this competition end?

 

the "competition" ends when Dwight post his first picture..... but the game ends at the end of the month I believe, not sure.

So I still have time to try and enter.

you had to declare your intention in the other thread, so probably not.

 

good news is, they do it every year.

 

00mod, Ajay, fishing daddy, someone will be here shortly to clarify.

You had to declare In the previous thread. Just keep an eye out for next years.

Well Dwight is starting early, i am liking that we already have a score around 70 at the moment. It will take a 75ish to be in the top three of this thing. I'll be able to start my season off tomorrow by finally fishing more than an hour and am excited. I am ready to put something on the thread and it might be a one pounder but i don't care. Game face is on...which probably doesn't mean anything to the fish and i will probably not catch anything big. Nevertheless, i'm going to pretend that i am ready to catch something big for this season

The Contest runs through June 15.  Don't forget that this year we have 3 categories; Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Spot.  3 winners with prizes this year.

 

Time to upgrade. She weighed in at 5.97lbs. State record is 9lb 3oz. Should be a total of 64.98%
