34lb musky back in the 70's. She went 50'' plus.

Dwight you really are a heck of a fisherman.  I really enjoy seeing all your pictures as well as reading about your trips.  You know when the avatar changes it usually means good pigs things!

those are two awesome fish, well done!

 Roger that is Impressive for sure.

 

 And although I know he would not say it here -  I think Dwight's PB Walleye is in the 12 pound class.

 

The picture looks like an Alligator with no legs !

Nice fish! I once saw Randall Tharp kill em on a swim jig right after a cold front on Okeechobee like that.

Dwight, I hope you are registered in the Florida Trophy Catch program, those are some money fish, plus points for a Phoenix Boat. Awesome catch!!!!

Dwight - did you get your goodies yet? Just wondering what kind of stuff is included.

Kinda a threw hack, but I'm gonna connect this to the recent tournament on Toho.. Think you could've beaten the pack fishing like this Dwight? I bet you could've!

There are days when live bait definitely gives you an advantage.

Ah - gift cards - PERFECT - you get what you want and not a bunch of stuff you might not need.

What a phenomenal day you guys had.  I'm a native Floridian, grew up in South Florida, fished the 'Glades (this in the 1960s)...but my Dad and I never had that kind of day.

 

Such a wonderful fishery you're enjoying.  To put it in perspective from my viewpoint some quick figures. In 2013, the local bass club here in TN, in 16 tournaments totaling over 2,000 angler-hours, only caught 19 LMB 3 pounds or heavier.  That year, I caught 25 LMB 3 pounds or heavier, thus beating the bass club. You guys, in ONE DAY, caught more FOUR pound or heavier LMB than our 3 pound numbers for an entire YEAR. Just INCREDIBLE !

 

CONGRATS again...

Definitely looks like you guys beat that cold front!

Very nice indeed - congratulations to you both!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow, what a hawg! Congrats on your PB!!!

ridiculously awesome.
