One more cull. Lou, please replace the 14.75 with this 15.5. I ticked his gill with the hook, he released fine and swam away strong.

Cport... lol!! Rinse the fish off first...  Looked like you butchered the fish. Same thing happened to my first fish yesterday. I placed it the water for while so that the blood would clot and then took the pic.

Congrats to Tress this month. I also would like to recognize Cport and Rchiuz for great finishes. Cport you have been with us for a little while and you have shown a great competitive spirit and your catches are improving each month!! WTG!! Roberto... you have been with us for quite some time and I know many months have not gone your way, but this month you put together a nice bag during a tough month no less. Good work !!
For the rest of the crew. Thanks again for your participation. I know August was a tough month for many of us. But... better days are coming for all us, I'm sure of it. Thank you all again, hope to see all of you in Sept. Good luck!!

Thanks a lot for those kind words, Lou, and the reason my catches are improving is due to all of you on this board. I have learned a ton, been helped personally by one of our members when I was in a tough spot to be able to keep fishing, and really enjoy the camaraderie and feeling of belonging to a family with a common uniting force....BASSIN! Mike, Lou, and Lip (forgive me if I forgot someone) really go out of your way to make us feel welcome and helped.

Congrats to Tress (again  ) and way to go on that end of the month bag, Roberto! I gut lucky and snuck in that last beauty, or you would have had second (which seems to be the best we can hope for around here with Tress  )

So what's the yearly standings? (my competitive spirit rearing its head)

That's what it is around here family. I don't live or fish down there but I read just about every post on here and I feel like I'm part of the Fl gang even if I don't live there.
