I'm still on a quest for my 10" gill!! Also an 11 or 12 redear would be awesome. MY redbreast is shameful, but it's the only one I've ever caught lol, we don't get em down out here in Katy/Houston.

Might try out Conroe for the first time in awhile Saturday, so hopefully that goes well although my usual spots are high and dry

I'm going to try to beat all my PBs by 08/31/12.

Man Hooligan I need to fish with you! I know that there are quite a few spotted sunfish in LBL where barton springs enters, just fyi.

My PBs on the RS and SP are both "0". Sounds like I need to go there too. I did see Chuch catch some RS on LBL so I'll likely fish there this weekend too in order to increase one of my PBs this year then only 11 more PBs to go.

You kids and your 10"+ PB's...unbelievable!

WR: everytime your bait plops in the drink, the potential is there. All these fish I have posted were caught since June 1st of this year. I have been on a 18 year hiatus from freshwater fishing. In central Texas we are blessed with abundant fisheries, and relative low pressure compared to those metroplex lakes. Add just those things up and fish life is a bit easier for us. PB's are made to be broken and everyday brings that chance.

@Hooligan.

In all seriousness that was quite inspirational! I should make more of an effort to go to the bigger lakes in my area (Ray Hubbard and Lavon, maybe take a trip with my dad to Fork) and break my PB's.
I don't know why I expect to catch all my fish from a creek and a local pond.

Here are a couple of pics of my bigger ones.

Redear




Bluegill


The rest as far as I can remember are

GS - 9.5"
LE - 7.5"
OS - 4.5"
PS - 9.5" (in Ohio)
RB - 11.5"
RI - 11"
RS - 6.5"
SP - Nope
TL - 16.5"
WM - 9.5"

Mike those Redear are Impressive to say the very least. what the heck those are HUGE!!!

This discussion has overlooked one very very important category.

I present to you the Windcrest Oscar, for which I am the World Record Holder.

WO) 9"+ capable of eating small dogs, cats and if the rumors hold true, elderly citizens from the City of Windcrest.



That is one mean mutha! It has been known to haunt the dreams of men.

drrouter: that was a great post. I have not laughed all day. I thank you for bringing a smile on. You know I would not mind those fish being a bit more plentiful.

Mastodonic fish!

I know I have over posted those pics. But I gotta tell you, those things fight like a Rio on Meth! Not only are they thick, they make awful gurgling sounds like they are coughing up phlegm and they slap their tails around somethin' fierce! AND THEN IT (BLANK) ON ME!

that second pic...his tail wasn't laying down cuz he was done fightin'....no Sir! He was just mid tail flip..working his way back up for another slap at me. It was crazy. My wife was like "Just throw that damn thing back in the water!"

That was awesome dr. I remember when you posted the original story. Has Urban ever caught the elusive WO?

USMC....

No..he has not. He almost did, but it SNAPPED his line. I witnessed this first hand.

But it still haunts him....to this day....

These are my best

It was at calaveras lake and i took the kids out of school to go on a guided catfish trip. It rained, was cold, and one of the best times with my family...... oh and we caught some fish.
