Here is is folks, have at it:

I have no less than 5 'new' lakes sorted out to go try, a couple with some *serious* potential too.

You're all toast.

I am going to win both categories and buy Scott Evil a buffalo tattoo.

All of yall are gona get owned!! No one has a chance.
Ma peeps, Mr. and Ms. Carp/Buffalo are gonna beat yall DOWN!

gg how are you gonna win, there are no carp in caney creek.

nor have you entered.

true.

hehehe... I'm waiting for the next carp/buff tourney. I should have my DL (and PPL) by then meaning I can go to a few local swims for some Huge Carp.

You better hurry, I am running out of room

Well, I'm not too confident in the carp contest but I know why you guys didn't enter the buff portion.

Do you guys really think I can catch a 4th 60?

No lol

I will be entering, but it will be a while.
Sept-Jan carp
January onwards will be looking for an 80lb buff!

...and i'll be laughing when you hook into a 50lb buff while fishin for a 50lb carp in october.

The second 60 was caught on October 30th so it is possible...

Nevermind, I'll just have to show you

It won't matter, coz I'm gonna catch an 80 later in the competition.

Just gotta get the 55lb carp first thats all........

80 huh. I'll believe it when you actually enter the buff contest....

Watch this space! No ware near Austin either!

Yeah yeah, i hear there are some bigguns out east as big as car hoods. Who said I won't be out there? I've heard of a few places....

Car hood? bah!

I'm talking van side doors.

I know there are some the size of a Smart car but I've heard eye witness reports of a buff the size of a car hood.

Has anyone even pulled a buff from east texas waters beside Fork? If so, they aren't talkin.

The winning buff will once again come from Austin and it'll be my new PB.

not talking.. yet.

Can I say the Big Sam........ The answer would be yes!

[quote=Golden Ghost by then meaning I can go to a few local swims for some Huge Carp. [/quote]

I should have done that.....YEARS ago

well im offically out for this one, ill be having surgery oct 13th. good luck to all.

I'll pick up trash where I fish, like I always do. Some of that trash is disgusting; old beer cans, nightcrawler containers, etc.

Oh, wait a minute, that's not the trash talk you mean?

Is it too late to join?

jump in Mike.



actually this year, you can join at any point in the contest.....

Can I join right after I catch an 83-pound buffalo?

Your almost thinking like a true dutch man now brett..imao

Sure, right after I catch an 85

Sure, and after you join, you'll get your entry code. Then you can attempt to recatch it

Sounds like Brets photoshop skills are going to be tested

I've seen his PS skills........

we're currently at:


$360
and
$225

not too shabby.

Ok, still haven't found a job, neighbor just got laid off, temperatures are dropping a bit.

We are planning a trip to west Texas to fish the Pecos and Rio Grande in the portabote. Maybe a bit of lake Amistad.

I have seen unbelievably large carp on the Rio Grande in the spot I am thinking of camping out at.

Only problem is that it is WAY out in the middle of nowhere. But I think we are going to do it.

Has anyone that's in the tourney caught?

Jase caught a 27 but he didn't enter it

Sure glad we got the ok to count our tourney fish. (dripping with sarcasm and disgust).

I think we should make a proper thread and sticky it since we can enter at any time..... Zach...

Excellent.

one more for buffalo now.

donny, i remember when zach called u a told u that he had just lost that fish and it look as big as a car hood. it was funny becouse after u hung up u waited a few minutes and said damn, a car hood, thats a beast and then we started laughing. that was all we talked about that afternoon.

I'm doing a solo session this weekend on a new lake.

Look for a 40+ to start the competition!

Um, er, me too!

OK someone needs to enter a fish to beat.

I say the next carp caught goes in as a target! Even if its 10 lbs..

Come on guys put in a fish!

As soon as I catch one, I will! Its been blankfest for me since signing up...

agreed

I like winning.

It could all be over Halloween weekend folks.

It could all be over.

Its just gettting started!

Learned my lesson at Emma a couple weeks ago. Wasn't entered and got my PB buff, 37lb 13oz. I know that if entered it would be beat, but would have been fun to put something up to shoot at. Will be entering. Plan on long session at Emma at drawdown...

I would have entered that little baitfish i caught at Emma but i didn't have my image!

At the rate people are entering fish, you should have.

Scouting trip this weekend. Be afraid, be very afraid!

you and boy scouts........yes we should be afraid

I decided not to take the image pics of the very very large fish I caught today because I know there are bigger ones... that I shall capture!

Can you spell b.s.?

you got that backwards... it's s.b. as in smallmouth buffalo

I know of a couple of big fish coming out to guys that aren't even in the tourney...

Anyone planning on putting up any numbers soon?

As soon as I remember to take a picture with all correct info...

results?

Sandbaggers.

Since I entered I have caught 0 carp and 0 buffs!

looks like whoever enters a fish will win

We still have a ways to go yet!

I think it's time for someone to enter something

Saturday night, from a new lake.

I shoulda entered that 20lb I caught out there last time. At this point it would have taken the lead!

TIME TO REMOVE THE STICKY, DON,T YA THINK

The tourney kinda runs through March. Did I miss March?

my bad,thought it was a fall contest

Is there someone in the lead? I didn't see any results posted.

-Dave

Last weekend guys. Good luck

I know that there have to be some sandbaggers out there that are waiting to post their buffs. lol I would hate to think that the buff I caught the week before entering would be the biggy at 37 13.

I feel better now that someone's entered a 28 and a 30. I'd have been sick if that 20 I didn't enter woulda won it lol.

Though I may go out for a night this weekend and give it a shot at one more big fish.

I've been giving a shot at big fish for nearly six months!

I should have entered :P

I never saw if anyone won the buff side of the contest. I probably threw back the winner without entering it. I hope I didn't.

Congrats to Bret for the big buff.... I think?

I think Bret won Buff....with 11lbs lmao.

Well, while I officially won the buffalo portion,

I'm just leaving the money in the website to use for prizes for other contests, etc, etc. I did go the day before it ended and caught a fish just to have something entered.

The carp side went well though, ajase got 450 bucks. not bad eh?

I will certainly know better next time. I passed up a couple of mid teens figuring someone had bigger.

start up another carp and buff contest

we will this winter.

but that is a long ways away.

Just got of the phone with David at USCP...

He is sending the tee shirts and an assortment of Carpology mags for the winners.

Big thanks to Dave "Big Red" Smith.

Brian, need your address, please send a pm.
