Those are impressive fish. You really have the Rios dialed in. I do not think I have ever seen a 12 inch Redear except in pictures. Good job!

The Rios have been kind of hard to find this year. The late spring flooding really messed up their patterns and nesting. I usually have a dozen good places to catch em this time of year. I have only a couple where I can pick up some nice ones. Gonna keep trying and looking. Also your invite is always open. I have some pretty easy places to fish. Side Note: October and November are usually good times to catch some nice Redear!

Thanks Jamie! Will be getting with Mike or Robert (Dafanman) and possibly plan a road trip to your neck of the woods.

Caught a couple smaller Rios in the 8 to 9" range. Only you Chuck could get away with a statement like that! Us mere mortals would be starting a new topic for every 9" Rio caught Well done as always Sir

Fitz, I've never caught a Rio. I'd start a new thread if I caught one of any size. Congrats Banker.

Those are some "CHUNKS"! Good job Chuck.
Side Note: Has the Rio bite picked up?(Dunlap,rest of the Guadalupe River). Also how is the Redear bite? Drove by Dunlap the other day and the water looked pretty good. This was at New Braunfels.

Thanks "Gitter" for the reply. The Rio bite on the Guadalupe has not been good all year. With all the water that had been let out of Canyon it really messed the bite up a lot. I have not caught many Rios on the Guadalupe this year. As for the Redear, the bite has been fair. Caught a few this year in the 12 inch range and a few in the 10 to 11 inch range. Side Note: As for the Rio bite hopefully next year it will be better!

That about all you can do is hope for the next year. The Rios will make the come back on the Guadalupe for sure.
