bamabassman · 03-08-13, 09:38 PM

i was INFORMED that i needed an 11.06 pound bass to even be in the running....the "dead sea" ain't got no fish that big,lol. and since i ain't got a job yet, THAT'S the lake i'll be fishing for a while. but i am going tomorrow anyway. again blue, fantastic bass buddy.

keithdog · 03-10-13, 10:35 PM

Thats a real pig Blue. Congrats! We've got our work to do now!

Jrob78 · 03-10-13, 10:41 PM

Yep, MSBoy, Bubba and I need about a 13 to be in the game. It'll be fun trying though!

bamabassman · 03-10-13, 10:43 PM

jrob....daniel is heading to the kitty kat lake i HOPE real soon. i so badley want to see him hoisting up a HUGE set of jaws form that lake. (calling panther)

Just curious. How big would an Indiana bass have to be to be a contender? I've forgotten the formula once you convert the weight to ounces.

Divide your fishes total ounces by your state record fishes total ounces and multiply by 100 to see what percent of the state record your fish was. So Clayton's was 124/184 = 0.6739 and multiplying that by 100 is 67.39% of his state record.

Using the IN state record LM of 236 ounces, you would need a 10lb 0oz LM to put you in the lead as that would be 67.80% of your state record. A 9lb 15oz bass would put you at 67.37%, just barely behind Clayton.

Does that help? Do you have a 10 pounder in your plans? Or maybe you're going after Smallies instead since the IN record for that is only 116 ounces?

Thanks Dean. Catching a 10 pound bass would be awsome, but considering our state record was only 11 pounds + untill recently, it's a tough call, expecially on the northern end of the state. But it could happen.

As for smallies, lake Michigan which is in my back yard offers some real pigs! But unless you have the boat to get to them, it can be pretty tough. Very little access from shore. But there are a few places I'm thinking about trying.

lilmule · 03-15-13, 09:18 PM

Im hopin for my first entry tomorrow as have a T out of port road ky lake,get a try at it anyway.

bamabassman · 03-16-13, 01:24 AM

bamabassman · 03-16-13, 10:00 PM

so ya'll are safe for a while....lol!

Bubba_Bruiser · 03-16-13, 10:43 PM

I should have put up Tanner's fish the other day. I keep forgetting their is a 2nd and 3rd place too.

bamabassman · 03-17-13, 11:24 AM

P-U-T I-T U-P BUBBA!!!! that is an AWESUM bass!!

bcklash · 03-24-13, 12:23 AM

Bama, there was a 12.7 lb LM caught on the big G today.....

MallenManson · 03-24-13, 02:04 PM

WTG Blue!
Season hasn't opened yet and I've already lost!

kennethdaysale · 04-29-13, 09:51 PM

Excellent fish Kory! I hope we get to see some fish posted in the 70% range maybe even the 80's as the year goes on.

nobass · 04-29-13, 11:13 PM

well with both blues and cory's post who do you think will get third.

really great fish cory what you catch her on

carolina-rig-01 · 04-29-13, 11:17 PM

Thanks guys. I caught her on a Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver. I was sight fishing and there is nothing in the world that is as exciting as catching fish off of beds, there is just something awesome about watching the fish react to the baits you flip in their bed. And when they are as big as that girl, it is pretty intense. I spent a total of probably close to two hours on that fish. I left her 3 different times to let her settle down because she was so spooky. I knew if she got on her bed and got comfortable she would be catchable, but I wasn't sure that was going to happen. I also didn't realize she was that big. I told Britney that I was certain she was at least 7lbs but it's just so hard to guess the weight of a fish when you see them in the water. After I set the hook and she came up on top of the water and made a slob out of herself I knew she was bigger than 7lbs LOL.

kennethdaysale · 05-26-13, 04:58 AM

What do yall think about this? Maybe it would be a good idea/fun if everybody competing would post a pic of there biggest 2013 bass even if the weight was below the current 3rd place. I really like IB's layout/design skills and I'm sure he wouldn't mind putting together something that would reflect everybody's standings.....from first to last. I caught a 7lb fish wed but quickly tossed it back (almost disappointed but not

) because it wasn't a contender. If you guys don't want to bother it's fine but I thought it might be fun to look at in January and say "well I didn't win but I did better than X and Y"

I think that's a great idea. I would love to see the quality fish everyone is catching. The bar is already set so high, it's going to take a monster to overtake the lead. Let's see those "almost" fish.

kennethdaysale · 05-27-13, 06:26 PM

Here's a 41.8% (6lb-12oz) fish from this morning on a frog. In a friends boat so no tape.

MississippiBoy · 05-27-13, 10:56 PM

Nice fish, Ken. You look thrilled......
