Great job Mutt, I have documented all your catches including this morning's post.

[FD]

I spent the day on Toho with Frank G practicing for the Wounded Warriors Tourney in two weeks.  We boated over 40 fish with on 12 being quality keepers.    I could only upgrade with three of them.

Drop 3 14's

New count  14.5+14.5+17.5+17.5+18.5 =82.5

[Capt. BassinLou]

Well it happened. The wife and I went out for about 3 hours today. Shes got a few bites but missed them. I got 3 hits, caught 2 and missed one. One was big enough to cull my 16 Inch and put me into the Century Club for the Month.

Here she is: 20 Inches culls my 16 and gives me:

17.5 + 19.5 + 20 + 20 + 25.75 = 102.75

Mutt.... tell Joe, I said congratulations!! That 22" was a great looking fish. Well done to the both of you. Your catches have been documented.
Mutt btw, double check your numbers. I have you at : 20+19+19+18.5+16.5=93"
Let me know.

[West6550]

Well I had 13" before this AM.

I was already burnt from yesterday at the beach so I knew it'd be a quick trip.  Arrived and it got hot and the wind picked up with 30 mins.  I fished from 6 to 930 or so and called it.  I have to work the next 7 days and didn't feel like being in the sun for 8 hours today.

I managed one that was maybe 8" lol and this 14.5"




I tried several things and the frog I did have a short strike. Ended up having to slow way down with a speed worm for those.  Not my favorite type of fishing.

Total: 27.5"

[Capt. BassinLou]

My lake is drying up bad...

TOOK, I would that is a nice problem to have since you fish out of a kayak, no? The fish are more concentrated in certain areas. I know in the glades when we have a drought its like shooting fish in a barrel. The bass get so concentrated that it gives anglers the false sense that they are Bassmasters!! LOL!!

Yeah hit it and caught a bunch of shorts. Unfortunately this has happened before sue to a sinkhole and if we don't get a serious rain it will be completely dried up. Such a great place and it's sad to see this happen...
