Guys, i have been bombarded with finals and every night i get excited hoping someone in NOVA has ripped some big girls lips and posted a pic of the hog. However to my dismay, there has been no posts. When was the last time a NOVA gang member has caught a 5 plus?? If someone has been rippin lips, please post. Has winter got the best of the NOVA gang...

last time I caught or even saw a 5+ was back in September....It's been too long

late august for me too...

Im sure we change that in DC waters Aaron 

i guarantee that! toughing out the elements must be good for the karma factor...

I've never fished up past blue plains but i hear theres deep water up there and lots of wood to fish

can you give some insight on fishing up there?

Shimmy, look at my post on trips section for Occoquan res 12/6.  Couple of pics of a good fish I caught on the res.  5lb 14oz on the scale.  21.5 inches.

november on a buzz jet i posted it but you cant tell how big its was by the photo.

Caught one 7.34 about a 3 weeks ago, tried to upload the pics, but it says the max filesize is 175 KB, my pics are 225. Anyone know how to make them smaller??

Geez Matt, even your picture is a hawg!!!

Haha, thanks Jon! I guess I set myself up for that one huh? You know how to resize them?

I do mine thru photobucket and I don't know what I'm doing either, the pics I post are way too big and obnoxious!! Wish I could help 'cause I wanna see it!!

wow, throwing out a 7 pounder like nothing! Post that puppy. Just google it and there are instructions on how to reduce picture size so you can get it below 100kb. It will tell you. You can't just throw out 7 pounder language and not give everything to post that thing. Shame on you. Bring it to the board.

As for Quan, nice bass! Great to see that size at this time of year. This is what i am looking for. Very inspiring. I can probably guess the lure you used! It takes a good fisherman to pull big bass in the winter time. That was a fatty.

I went out on Saturday and caught a big girl weighing 5 lbs exactly in the spoils.  She bit a peanut butter and jelly jig with a chigger craw trailer.

Nice!!! Great to see that! I bet you timed that picture just right as the other boaters came around so you could give them a look of what they could of had. You know its true. Well done. Good fish. However, for he month of December Mr. Quan is the current leader of 5.14.

Thats the part of the spoils that I wanted to fish last time we went out but Thai said there was no fish over there. I knew it, oh well. Nice fish tho

LOL That was not intentional but it sure looks that way in the photo.  Those guys behind me fished that same shoreline very slowly so we moved around them and hit paydirt, I did see them nail a few keepers before we called it a day.  I don't rub anything in since i have been on the losing end enough to know how much it sucks; but I won't pretend I didn't get excited catching that fish behind some other guys who had just fished that area.

i catch 5lbers in my bathtub all the time
