Florida Fishing With Dwight And Robert ( Guess The Weight As Well) 2025
00 mod reply :
Went down to Florida for a couple days this past week to fish with a couple good buddies of mine from here on BR. Dwight Hottle and Robert (SouthFLA) of Hawg Tech. We fished a mixture of lakes, reservoirs and canals and whacked em good! I mean really! Mostly topwater which makes it even more fun! Put the new Curado I through its paces as well. Ended up catching between 25-30 fish a day per person with some big ones mixed in.
Big Cavitron fish! ( Shout out to Bobby with Megastrike!! )
Bullet in the grass....
Dwight's Girls:
And last but not least, this fish was weighed and released, but I want to have a little fun with it. What do you think this one weighed?

shimmy reply :
uh wow! That just looks amazing. What a tank. Between 9 - 10 pounds. What a trip! Regardless of the fishes weight, the whole thing looks like the typically amazingly proportioned bass everyone dreams of. Awesome fish bud

who cares on the weights, nice fish all around!!!
00 mod reply :
OK, well to update this, all fish are over 5lbs, except maybe 1 of the canal fish. The biggie went 7lbs 15oz. I knew that deceiving pic would get most everyone, and even we thought it was bigger. But to quote the bearded one, " A scale never lies!"
Jeff
SPEEDBEAD. reply :
Hey, it's true.
Best way to make a 5lb fish a 3lb fish is to put it on a scale. 
gripnrip reply :
Dang who would of thought! Besides SPEED anyways!
Bankbeater reply :
Some nice hawgs!

Dwight Hottle reply :
Will take pictures for food & tackle. I'm a cheap hire.
South FLA reply :
I had a great time fishing with you Jeff, the top-water BITE was insane. For everyone's information, he had two come unbuttoned that could have given the big fish a run for her money.
Brian Needham reply :

I can send you some Owners if you would like.
00 mod reply :
