Hey thats what I was using today. Burning a Reaction Innovations in. Texas rigged/pegged/shiner color.

ripping it through hydrilla. I missed one big but didnt get a good look at it. I set the hook he pulled hard bag taking drag out. Heck of a fish whatever it was.

Well this became interesting really fast. PZ and TOOK both of you are tied at 92". PZ submitted his pics and I know that TOOK is still on the water fishing. Down to the wire. Awesome!!

Pz3 · March 31, 2015, 01:27:24 PM

He has 92 with that 20.25 he just mentioned?

If so thats nuts to tie it up like this.

Yes as of right now, TOOK has 92. He had 86.25" before and culled a smaller fish

Unless you go on one of your night ops like you have done in the past. Lol!!

Pz3 · March 31, 2015, 02:14:09 PM

Perhaps. I do have my gear in the car.

I wouldn't be surprised. Just let me know. I plan to wrap this month up tonight around 9pm. If your going out, just post and I will wait til tomorrow. Other than you, I don't think anyone else will be fishing tonight. Good luck.

Pz3 · March 31, 2015, 02:27:03 PM

Problem around here is to many of my spots dont allow night fishing. I could get away with it at one but homeless people on meth scare me.

Here's my fish for today. 20.25, lost a HUGE FISH! Spent the day throwing a Black Dog Baits G2 Shellcracker. Ended up storming so came in early. Great month and DAMN you guys can put up some serious nunbers. Love this as it really pushes me and I also fish KayakWars so this helps keep me motivated to stay longer.

MCS · March 31, 2015, 03:42:44 PM

Nice fish took

Thank you! Still kicking myself for missing that huge fish to start the day. Nailed the swimbait I set the hook and it turned straight at me, then under my kayak and into the thick vegetation it got tangled and came loose before I could get to it

Pz3 · March 31, 2015, 03:44:52 PM

Oh yeah...

West no I never cut it down. I left it the way it came.

Nice fish Took... looks like were tied unless I get something tonight.

I know you have hot spot secrets so I will enjoy this moment for now

. Those night ops pay off BIG time!

Pz3 · March 31, 2015, 03:54:14 PM

Well we will see. Im planning on using an ole monster and slow rolling it.

Took · March 31, 2015, 03:55:44 PM

I almost had a solid 36" Gator to add lol. I left the spot because it acted like a cat stalking the frogs I was throwing.

Deadeye · March 31, 2015, 05:20:34 PM

Some great last minute fish to post up guys!

Went out today and manged one but nothing to cull. So that ends my month where I sit at 96.5 I think.

Still time for some of you guys to pass me..... Go For It!!!

Also want to say a big Shout Out to Lou for his Come from behind WIN for the 1st ever Florida Bragging Rights Angler of the Year

Great Job Lou and you deserve it, Job Well Done.

West6550 · March 31, 2015, 05:48:52 PM

Heading to the lake Lou give me a few. I'll post when done to not keep it prolonged

West6550 · March 31, 2015, 06:40:01 PM

Well nothing to show :-( I'm done for the day. Wind was insane. Beautiful out though none the less.

Capt. BassinLou · March 31, 2015, 07:01:03 PM

The only one left out there fishing is PZ then?

SFL BassHunter · March 31, 2015, 07:22:00 PM

So with a few hours left I decided to forgo my chance to win or place higher in the standings, in the spirit of friendly competition. Instead I decided to go pick up my online orders from BPS.
My new Rods, BPS Bionic + Reel and a bunch of goodies.

This is indeed a "woops"Y reel! Wish the PQ looked this nice.

and to all you Senko/Sticko/Stick Bait haters, they had a buy 3 get 1 free deal so

it I bought em!

Congrats to the winner this month!

Lou thank you for all the work you put into this friendly competition. I truly do appreciate it.

OH and Woops almost forgot to congratulate you on AOY! Nice job Lou!

Pz3 · March 31, 2015, 07:27:22 PM

Im not fishing........ yet. I will drag this out to the end lol.
