Hi everyone... I have been stalking this post for a couple weeks now and went out to the honey hole known as dunlap with a buddy from work for a few hours this morning. We caught a few fish and here is my biggest at 13" long I caught using worms.  I wasnt sure what I would catch out there so I wanted to be ready for all of the bonus rounds but think this should be up there for big fish for the month (I hope). I also wanted to know if someone could confirm what breed of perch this is. I grew up calling all bluegills/redbreast... "perch". We had a blast today and cant wait until I can get back out on the water and see if I can break the 13" mark That's a hog!

HOLY COW!  Some super fishing by both "Mperkins17" and the "Rionator"!  Congrats to "Mperkins17" on his super Trophy 13" Redear which took over first place in the adult division.  Also some nice fishing by the "Rionator" who landed three more Trophy Fish in the adult standings.  Looks like were going to have one heck of a Contest!  Take advantage of this warm spell. It is going to get a LOT COLDER next week.  Standings are on Page #3.

We have one heck of a contest shaping up! All five places on the adult board are filled with Trophy Fish.  It will take a 12" fish to place.  Also there are still three open spots in the junior division and any fish will place. Keep up the GREAT FISHING!  Side Note: Colder weather is on the way. Should be here early next week. Winter patterns will take effect and fish will be in deeper water.  Also where is that 14" Redear!

Nice Redear "mperkins17" and congratulations on your first place standing. Good job.  Also those Trophy Fish caught by the "Rionator" look pretty good.  Contest fishing at it's best.  Side Note: Just one inch shy of 14". That big one is out there.

Coming into the second weekend of the December Contest. Five Trophy fish have taken all the places in the adult division while there are still three open places in the junior division. Also three solid fish are holding the Big Fish Awards which will be given out at the end of this contest. A 13.75 will tie for the adult award while that elusive 14" Redear will take over the lead. A 12.50" Fish will tie in the Junior Award while a 13" fish will take the lead. A 10.50" Bluegill will tie the Big Fish Adult Bluegill while a 10.75" fish will take over the lead.  This weekend should be pretty good.  There is a major cold front on the way for the early part of next week. It is going to get a lot colder.  Stay warm and keep enjoying our great outdoors.  Side Note: Four active Bonus Fish Rounds with more on the way. One coming up very soon! Standings are on Page #3.

Caught this bass on the Comal river. Pleasantly surprised as I was just using a little piece of worm under a float.

 Congratulations to "USMC_GY" for winning the Bonus Bass Round.  His 17.50" Large Mouth Bass caught on the Comal River was more than enough to seal the deal!  Good job.  Side Note: "USMC_GY" wins a bait pack of Berkley Baits. Standings will be updated later tonight on Page #3 by "Laker One"

Cold front will be arriving. Winter Patterns should be taking place. Look for em in deeper water and for them not to be as active.  Still looking for that 14"!

 Congratulations to Roberto on catching two nice fish.  Your Channel Catfish which was 12.50" nails down the Bonus Catfish Win and a gift certificate for Lunker Life Custom Tackle. Your 12.25" Redear will slide you into third place in the adult division.  Some mighty good fishing. Good job.  Both fish were caught on Lake Dunlap using worms.  Standings will be updated later tonight on page #3 by "Laker One.
