Since I already insulted A-Jay I’m finally on the board. My biggest today I dropped half way back to the boat. My second biggest went 5-14. Thats 5.875 divided by PA record 8.5 equals.69.11 x 100 for 69.11 total. 

Football season has started I see.

Great way to start your off trip ! 

Congrats on another Lake Erie Tanker 

Now go set the PA record why don't Cha !

That is incredible!! What a monster!!

Carly Simon was singing about @Dwight Hottle:

 

 

@Dwight Hottle is always a tough act to follow,

but I've got to start some where . . . 

Got my best brown bass so far at 5-5.28 

That's 5.33 divided by MI record 9.98 gets me to 53.40. 

Still some room to grow I think 

 

A-Jay

@A-Jay, you forgot the entry fee. 😁

 

Nice brown bass.

That’s grounds for disqualification!

There’s a part of me that’s hoping Lynn joins the forum if only for one post to submit an entry fee for him. 😂

Oh my, please excuse my mistake. 

I'll go with one my Dad used to tell me all the time growing up.

"If you had half a brain, you'd be dangerous".

He was so supportive.

A-Jay

Hahaha. His support was erroneous, I’m very dangerous without brains 

 

Managed to top my last entry, but just barely.

This one was 5.37 lbs 

divided by MI record state record smallmouth bass of 9.98

gets me to 53.80. 

A 0.4 pt improvement while it is better,

I still think I can do quite a bit better.

Time will tell.

Fish Hard

@A-Jay - you're too cool to fish down South!  Is that an insult?  Gosh I hope so!  😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️

 

Well - I went ahead and tied my PB of 11 lb 5 oz today!

 

 

Absolutely beyond blessed and grateful to have caught this monster - details in the latest catch thread!

 

11 lb 5 oz (11.3) ÷ 15 lb 14 oz (15.8) x 100 = 71.5

 

 

Wooooo!  🔥🔥🔥🎣🎣🎣

Wow - What a giant ! 

Congrats on matching your PB.

So does that count as two PB's ?

Nicely Done.

That's one heck of a fertile fishery. 

btw-  even though your entry fee has been duly paid a few times over now,

feel free to cast A-Bombs my way as the mood strikes you.

Looks like I'm targeting spots for this State VS State thing 😂

 

Really nice fish. 

@A-Jay - you need a haircut. 

 

Here's my entry, caught 5/15/25.

 

Prespawn brownie that measures 20.25 inches and weighed at 5 lbs 4 oz (5.25) pounds on a digital scale.

 

5.25 divided by 8.0 (MN state record) = 0.656 x 100 = 65.6

 

 

 

LOL

@gim I knew you could do it.

And 65.6 is Very Respectable.

Congrats again

I thought he displayed great restraint 

and I can respect that.

As for you sir, is hosehead a word ? 

😁

Now, now let’s not be casting aspersions! 😆

*Upgrade alert

 

Caught this particularly bulbous specimen this morning.  It's 1/4 inch shorter than my previous entry but a fair amount chubbier.  And since this thread is by weight, this fish is a slight improvement.

 

20 inches

5.68 pounds (5 pounds, 11 ounces) / 8.0 pounds (MN state record) = 0.71 x 100 = 71.0

@gim monster! Nice fish man. If my reading is correct, that puts you .5 behind @Pat Brown for the lead.

Honestly if I finish on the podium in this I would be pretty impressed with myself.  There are a lot of good sticks here.

 

Plus for now it puts me as the top smallmouth score.

Now hold on one New York Minute . . . . .

Looks like your state record brown bass is a bit of a mystery.

What is this 'Uncertified' deal all about ?

You can most certainly expect some type of official investigation regarding this Tom Foolery.

Or at the very least an * (asterisk) next to your entry.
