I hate photobucket.

WOW, Jeff From Iowa, do you hate everyone, or just everyone on this forum? You seem to have a lot of anger issues. Are you a Trump hater also? he has issues and needs a fishing forum cause he was banned from BBC on the Phoenix forum of all places to be banned from HA ha, I have lost track of how many times youve posted that over the last 3 years. I find it odd that you post it all the time, yet have never asked me why I was banned, or pulled your boat up next to mine while on the same lake, I am sure Ive seen you at least 3 times. For your information, BBC is very easy to get banned from. ALL you have to do is post one time against a paid advertiser or forum sponsor.... "Nobody with a Phoenix with a dual unit dash shroud, needs to buy any of these aftermarket mounts which will do nothing more than ADD a lot of extra weight on the shroud. The factory set up works as it was designed, dont waste your money." I know its pretty terrible of me to let fellow Phoenix boat owners know they dont need to waste their money.

Jeff you are right I did take offense from your little fish comments.
So I looked back to the standings sheets to see if we did pull in any lunkers this year. I know there were 2-10's caught last year for sure.
And to compare let's look at both the 5 fish limit LFA's as opposed to Hard Core (MF format).
You may question why there are so any fish with the same weight (ie 6.89) . Because we paper the fish. We measure, record the length and release on the spot using 1/8" increment check it sticks. Length verified by co angler and boater.
LFA- Jan 6.64,Mar 8.52, 7.68, 6.40, 7.02, 7.28, 6.28. Apr 6.89, 7.41, 6.89, 6.89, 6.89, 6.64, 7.41, 6.89, 6.89, 9.12 May 6.64, 7.95, 6.40, 6.28, 6.17, 8.67, 7.41, 6.87, 8.23, 6.03,7.29,7.70, 6.64, Jun-6.17, Jul 6.64. Aug 6.68, 6.17. Sep- 6.17, 6.52. Oct 8.52
HC-Jan. 6.85, 7.95,6.89,7.41. Feb. 6.89. Mar 6.17 Apr 8.76 May 6.98, 8.52, 10.4, 9.12. Jun 6.64, 7.68. Jul 7.15. Aug 9.91, 8.52 Oct 8.38, 8.52 Nov 8.52
LFA on average has three more boats fishing than HC. Without a doubt Mar, April and May were the lunker months for us. I didn't count the large number of 5+'s caught either. And despite what some will say co-anglers caught their fair share.

Do they invalidate my first post in this thread? I dont Understand why your addressing me. I think If you posted that in a thread and removed the first sentence addressing it to me you would get some conversation and congrats to your anglers.

Hey bud where are you catching blue cats? Are they any size? I caught some on the flats back in glade. They flat out thumped the chatterbait and were 3-5 lbs. I was like dude finally got some stank back on me but ended up being wrong type. Lol. My buddies give me heck cause I can flat out catch catfish while bass fishing. I can’t figure it out water is not that cold the bass should be more active. Next trip will be jigs on creek channel all day. Changing it up finally. I have caught three of this size range on Fork two on jigging spoons and one on chatterbait. Don’t even take pics of these giant cats anymore. Lol

Jeff your comment did come across as questioning these guys ability, strategy and/or skills and directly questioned being able to use their data as a measure of how the lake is fishing. One can always learn something from anyone if they aren’t short sided. I have fished the lake since the 80s and at least once a week. I have November and early December spots that have paid off like clock work since I can remember, at least 15 years. I can’t catch a fish on them or anywhere I have fished in the last four trips of 6-7 hours each. I mean not a bite from a bass. So yes the lake is fishing tough right now and their data shows that. The only people I have talked to that have caught a fish or more than one or two have been either crappie fishing or drop shoting and they have been small. However, finally found a report that gave me the hint I think I need and hope to test it this weekend. Point is let it go and move on. These type threads that hijack/attack someone sharing information or experiences have gotten old.......

I bet that kitty was fun Rog! Was on chicken ridge and marked a big arc. Dropped spoon straight down and got big thump. Visions of the next state record started dancing through head on initial run until......it started just dragging the boat around lol. My son, who was pretty young at the time, was like dad we need a bigger boat!!! It drug us halfway to the pump station and back to chicken ridge before it got tired enough from me to pump and wind up to surface. Did the same on my buddies lights this summer with a chatterbait. The light simply went dark when the fish swam over it. Never actually saw an outline just the light going dark. I was like oh man that’s going to be a giant bass. Pitched chatterbait out there, got hammered and then drug around the timber in the dark bouncing off stumps.

If you just keep talking to JFI, then he will just keep posting. See, his boat is probably put away for the year, so the forum is where he will probably live for the winter...
Typically when you ignore something long enough, it goes away..
Little fish is what it takes to win on Fork 99% of the time, so no I will not be leaving those little 10"ers, because a few 2lb'ers are hanging around.

If I was fishing a everything counts tourney I too would stay, those tourneys didnt interest me, which is why I only fished one out of the 5 weeks I was at fork that time. If Im fun fishing Im leaving them fish. Bingo we finally have a winner..... I made one comment, then answered their posts asking me questions etc. I was raised to respond when spoken to. A guy cant win on here, if I ignore a question or comment then it gets cross posted in another thread to try and make sure I see it and reply, everyone seems to want the last word and/or everyone seems to think what they have to say to me is important/witty/a good slam (dunno cus there hasnt been many funny posts or entertaining replies at all) enough to drag the cluttering up of a post one longer with their reply and then me answering them! Fishn-man stated the obvious cant believe it took so long to come out, maybe Texas does need that state income tax after all!! ezbassin seems down right in a tizzy, straight befuddled in most of his posts Ive read. Some of his better (more deranged) ones have been re edited, poor guy just cant make up his mind or come up with a bell ringer.
