Gotabigun at LB - catchinon - 09-22-2020
I went out for a couple of hours today to try to catch some of those big cats everybody seems to be scoring at UL recently. Happy to say I hauled in a 32"er. Took pictures with 3 cameras to be sure I got it right but I am not ready to post any yet so be patient. Then I let her go before I remembered I was going to have my wife take a trophy shot of me with the fish. She felt a lot worse about it than I did. She's the best.
I upped my contest score by a few points and am able to add to the team score which was one of my recent goals. Go South!

When I was down the for a "work related" drive the one I seen yo catch looked more like 3 or 2 inches, its hard to tell with out one of the pics form one of the 3 cameras.
sounding fishy to me.
RE: Gotabigun at LB - catchinon - 09-22-2020
That was the only wb bass I caught but it provided more than enough bait for the 2.5 hours I fished. It was more like 9 inches. All the fish I got were caught on the head or tail. I had several fish like the head but I couldn't hook them. They tore it up pretty good. I got the big one on a little tail section. I looked at that closure sign you pointed out to me. I saw zero algae wherever I went. Weird.

not sure eagerly awaiting for one of the pics, I can verify the little guy, I seen that one?
RE: Gotabigun at LB - catchinon - 09-22-2020
I was serious about the big one. We just have a baby shower (I know) that is keeping us busy all day, then I'm going scouting for elk tomorrow so it might take a few days before I can post it.

RE: Gotabigun at LB - Fritzfishin - 09-22-2020
yeah craig i got a 32"er to, but lost my camera as i was reeling it in
RE: Gotabigun at LB - Boatloadakids - 09-22-2020
Hey, well done Craig. I think we are on track to thump those norhern guys this year. Looking forward to a pic of your PB. I'll be out there tomorrow so I'll try to up the southern score a bit more. Good times coming.
RE: Gotabigun at LB - Cowboypirate - 09-23-2020
Can't wait to see it.
RE: Gotabigun at LB - catchinon - 09-23-2020
Well, Lynn, I'd love to meet you out there tomorrow but we're going to the Uintas to scout for elk. I feel a lot of pressure off after getting this one, so I can concentrate more on hunting for a while. If I have it right it looks like the only ones with higher scores are you, Jig-fisher and Ahi, and I never dreamed I would be even close to you champions, let alone pass any of you. But keep after them; you just need to get a couple of 33s to reach a "perfect score" of 100 points.

Here's a picture of the big girl.
