February 2015 Florida Bragging Rights

Capt. BassinLou · January 31, 2015, 09:21:28 AM

New month!! Most of you know what time it is. For those of you who don't know who we are and are interested in learning more, I included what FBR is all about and the rules of our game.
(http://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/index.php?topic=120475.0) If your not interested in participating in the contest, but still can't resist to brag, please don't hesitate and post your FL pig pics here. We would love to see them. If you want shoot the breeze and take your mind off things you can also follow us on Fishbook (http://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/index.php?topic=113721.4875). We are a diverse group of anglers that love to fish and have fun, so please kick back and enjoy the ride.

Last month for those of you that have been following was a great month. Congratulations again to Swede for the win. The good thing about a new month is that the slate is wiped clean and its anyone's competition. Best of luck to every one who enters. Included you will also find the current standings for our first ever Florida Bragging Rights Angler of the Year race (FBR-AOY).

And..... with that....... I'm all in!!

I will gladly explain. Before you post an upset video on why you are not in the TOP 10, let me bring you up to date.

You do have points. You have 9. There are others as well, however like I said, TOP 10. Also remember, you took a lengthy hiatus while the rest of us were scrapping it out. However since your back I am sure your standings will change. How much? Only you can decide that.

Here we go again....... all this has been explained. in the previous month's. But since your my bud, I will explain one last time!!

How you place during the monthly competition gives you points for the AOY. For example, 1st place get 10pts, 2nd gets 9pts, 3rd gets 8pts.... etc...etc... Lastly, if you happen to catch the longest fish of the month you get awarded 5 bonus pts. If you want to calculate your points, then I highly encourage you to go over all the posts since you started here on UB, and if you find any discrepencies i will gladly go over them with you.

Have fun going over hundreds of posts. I did. Not fun. Your welcome!!

High stake $$ tournaments have been lost by ounces, in ours you can lose by quarter inches. I know we are not high stakes, but if my ruler clearly marks 1/4's , and 1/2's you best believe I am going to use them.

BOATS · February 01, 2015, 01:03:24 PM

Hell , if your gonna let us call it I say 10 inches. That's my story and I and sticking to it.

LgMouthGambler · February 01, 2015, 01:15:01 PM

I caught a bunch, held out the last pic looking for a big one. Should have just took a picture of a smaller one to make the 5. Oh well.

Here are my 4 measured.
