Fished Lake Erie today, bite was a little tough, I had 6 bites and landed 5. My best 4 went 15.55 lbs for 3rd place.

My fish were caught on green pumpkin Micro Munch tubes and 4" drop shot worms.

I had about a 12 mile run to my area, it was a little bumpy (1-3 footers) heading out but about 10:00 the wind died, good for boating, bad for Erie smallies. Bite tailed off for me after 10:00 AM.

All in all a good day. Why the title football season?

Check out these footballs with fins, twin 4+ pounders.

Anyone recognize this guy?

No, it's not Elite Series Pro Paul Hirsoky, close though, it's his twin brother Bob whom fishes in our club.

Bob and his father really whacked em today. Bob had 18+ pounds (that's 4 fish!), his father had 16+ lbs. Bob was 1st running away, plus his bonus lunker at 5.52 lbs.

And another member with 2 of his footballs....

Those are absolutely beautiful fish! I hope to get a few of my own this fall...

Now, THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Nice pigs! No pun intended!

Check these hogs out from our clubs tournament last month. These guys got 1st and 2nd place.

Did you guys launch from Ohio?

Nothing wrong with those, but I don't see a 5.  

5 as in 5 fish limit, or as in 5 lb'r?

The Pa Erie limit w/ our club rules was only 3 fish.

As for a 5lb'r, one of the smallies in the first pic is 5 even.  I think the farthest one on the right.  The second pics lunker was 2 ounces short at 4lb 14 ounces.

Total weights were 1st pic: 12lb 15 oz  2nd pic: 12lbs even

Very nice BASS Fisherman! I hope to fish Erie or St. Clair one day. Or both. For more than one day.  ;D

BASS fisherman, we were in PA.
