State Vs State - Episode 6 Results 2024
FishinDaddy reply :
If you signed up on the other thread.
This is where you post your results.
Example
FW = fish weight = 10.5 lbs
SR = state record Fl = 17.27 lbs
FW / SR x 100 = your score
10.5/17.27x100 = 60.80 rounded to 2 decimals
FishinDaddy reply :
Only 3.75 lbs which gives me a score of 21.74. More important than this fish is the offshore submerged hydrilla I found today. Hopefully many more to come off of this spot. Lake Toho, Fl on a Fluke.

There's state records where we'll be, catching them is no easy task though. My last 5 pound smallmouth I caught was out there though.
Dwight Hottle reply :
I'm finding it hard to believe that nobody has caught anything. Post up those results.
Bluebasser86 reply :
I got one! We had the KC area get together today and I got a good smallmouth, biggest one of the day in fact 
State record is 6.88, my fish weighed 4.80, 4.80/6.88=.69767X100=69.77 I think? Either way, it felt good to get a respectable entry at least

Now your talking. Nice looking bass.
RoLo reply :
She's just a young startup, but I figure the mossback camp needs a little support.
She taped 22", weighed 5lb-4oz and has a state score of only '30.4'.
Not to worry, we're counting on the big gals to rock-the-house in May

Now that scale never lies. Looks exactly like mine.
Shane J reply :
That scale is the bomb! Nice fish, too. Well done, Rolo.

Roger I'll gladly take that 6-10 off your hands if you don't want it great fish. Hope you tie into a DD.
RoLo reply :
Guys, I'm beginning to think that the bass are having fun with me.
Today, my best fish looked about a pound heavier than yesterday's best.
NUH UH, the trusty Brecknell told me that my eyes ran out on stems and it threw away the extra pound 
Today's girl weighed 6-11, exactly one-ounce heavier than yesterday's (pathetic).
Yeah I've got pictures of her, but for one lousy ounce I didn't bother going through the FTP process.

you & your lovely wife will be scooping up the fat ladies 
Speaking of ole bass, the girl below with the belly sores threw me a curveball.
I thought she weighed a pound more than my 6-10 on Saturday, but weighed only "1-ounce" more (6-11) 
Lee, if you & I hope to stand a chance against the BR sharpshooters,
we need to be gunning for a 12-pound hippo

I saw Wayne Yohn weigh a 14 pounder out of Kissimmee a couple of years ago. So at least we have the genetic pool to compete.

shimmy reply :
Well Dwight is starting early, i am liking that we already have a score around 70 at the moment. It will take a 75ish to be in the top three of this thing. I'll be able to start my season off tomorrow by finally fishing more than an hour and am excited. I am ready to put something on the thread and it might be a one pounder but i don't care. Game face is on...which probably doesn't mean anything to the fish and i will probably not catch anything big. Nevertheless, i'm going to pretend that i am ready to catch something big for this season

shimmy reply :
Nice to see MN already in the running. So i said i would post no matter what to warm up. I have no giants from the other day i went fishing but it was fun to fish a whole day and try my luck out in weird stormy weather. Decided to fish my main lake Beaverdam Reservoir, a.k.a. lake desolation. Luckily caught some and never missed any giants. Started the day off with catching them on 2.5 square bill and stuck my first larger fish of the day at 4.10. Then switched to the jig in an area with grass and caught my next fish going at 4.4. Was happy as a clam since i was not expecting much from today's outing with the weather being weird and plus, i thought i was going to get rained out so it felt nice to catch a fish after sitting in the truck for 2 hours waiting it out. Then after a few more fish caught a nice 5 pounder on the wiggly jiggly. It was a fun outing and i had already predetermined that whatever i caught, i was going to post for this thread to get a warm up. This may be the lowest score thus far...can we have a prize for that? Maybe send an angler a hat that says special on it or something? Anywho, this is a brutal reservoir and anyone that fishes it knows it is hard to catch a fish, let alone have a decent day. I count it as a win,
4.4 Jiggly
4.10 crank
5.2 Jiggly
On the board,
Shimmy

Those are nice fish, Shimmy, but you don't have the lowest score. I guess I'll post these. I caught a 4 even and a fish that was just under 5.5 on my Boga Grip. If I call the biggest one a 5.4 I have 5.4/13.875 x100 = 38.9 percent. The 5.4 is the top fish. I definitely need to prepare more for fishing photographs. My quality doesn't compare to yours.

Ha, yeh, it is interesting, this reservoir the fish are usually an inch to an inch and a half longer than your typical 4 pound or 5 pound bass elsewhere. The problem has always been an inadequate forage and the fish are very thin. It's a huge bummer. The fish are hard enough to come by and when you finally get them, they are not well-feed.
Asking me if i have a scale, you know me too well apparently!!! In all honesty, i don't even think i would launch my boat if i didn't have one! Murphys law would lead me to catch a pb that day and i would spend more time upset wondering the weight than enjoying the fish.

You know, can we just point out the most important part of this catch??? The 5.97 was not rounded to a 6 or 7 pounder. The fish up north are about an inch shorter and an inch wider and can pass for bigger bass, even to the experienced eye. This is a true Christmas miracle. I always thought the ounces went 5.0 lbs, then 5.5, and then either 6 pounds, skipping 7, and straight to 8 pounds after that, no ounces in between. Perhaps Glenn should pin this post on the fishing reports section as a guide for dummies and mandate all happy clickers to read prior to slipping into a manic phase and posting crazy numbers with no respect towards the human race.

You know this type of reaction from personal experience?
The post is obviously being dramatic and apparently not all picked up on it. I could care less if Glenn posts it, my point is those who work extremely hard for a certain weight range understand the sacrifice it takes to get there and people throwing numbers around is kinda silly. Looking at SPEEDBEAD's persistence towards an 8 using swimbaits is a perfect example of how rewarding a true 8 pounder is. He has posted numerous fish that look over 8 but has always posted honest weights. By all means, those who care less about weights can throw the numbers around all day long with other people who throw random high numbers around; it is amusing to listen to, but for those who enjoy the real size of a bass, just avoid the shenanigans with us. I think my point has been made so no need to further blab on.

Yes but the truth will set you free of pain.
Hit the lake today and decided to upgrade my status. Won't make a smidgen of a difference but i enjoy this thread being immersed with pictures. Decided to hit my lake again today for the first time since my last posting. Usually don't get to make it out that much but had an opening and had to take it. The day was really frustrating for a long time. Got there by 7 and by 4 in the afternoon had nearly 30 bites and only landed 3. The three that were landed were all under 3 ish. Worst of all, i missed a giant while casting into weeds and yanking the jig out of the cover repetitively. I saw her come out and inhale it, had a great hook set, and my darn pork trailer impeded the hookset and wedged itself into the hook. The only draw back with pork. Verdict is still out if it is worth using pork, i don't care, gonna use it anyways. So, i finally switch to my sunfish green jig with none other than the rage craw trailer and persisted to get more bites with absolutely nothing at the other end of the line. After being anchored to a point prior to a cove, i continued to cast down the channel and slowly bring the jiggard up along the path while coming as close as i could to the weed line. After feeling the same stupid tap i had been feeling all day long with absolutely nothing alive at the other end, i set the hook for kicks and giggles for the umpteenth time and there was weight! Hallelujah. I was more surprised by that than anything else today. Needless to say, she was just shy of 7 pounds. Only biggun caught today, would have had a great double with the other missed fish, but woulda shoulda coulda is the name of the game. And look, i know my fish from this lake is small comparatively speaking but every lake has it's context. This is a true giant for this body of water. No need to do the math on this one,
I decided to miss her a couple times with the net to add some suspense
Finally get her in, roughly 23 inches
Posing with her new jig in the mouth
Pulling her out of the livewell, the eyes of an angel
A bad pic here since i was by myself and failed to setup a good tripod shot. Decided not to get my whole self in the picture. Long distance pics are a no no, i thought i was closer than in reality. This fish's belly was nearly empty,

Thanks.

Hey Speedbead Jeff is netting on Erie this week. He takes good pics too. Upgrade for the smallmouth category.
6-4 oz divided by state record 8-8oz.

shimmy reply :
wow Dwight, just amazing. Can only imagine what it would be like to catch a smallie that big.
Shane J reply :
I imagine, it's much like tying your line to a small Volkswagen. And then hanging on until he runs outta gas. Nice job, guys!

Everyone can now take a seat, grab some popcorn, and watch the show. The big "D" is now on the hunt.
gripnrip reply :
Nice fish fellas! I'll be on my first official all day trip tomorrow. I doubt I'll get one as big as Speed but maybe I'll get to at least post an honorable mention bass!
BadBassWV reply :
Speed that is a Hog nicely done Sir, Dwight very nice fish to you too Sir.
I cant imagine, maybe someday.
FishinDaddy reply :
Taylor and I went to our local mud puddle/county park/old phosphate pit to test out the new humminbird this afternoon. Caught several 2 pounders and then this girl inhaled a blue berry vibe.
She only weighed 6.1 pounds which would score a 35.32.
shimmy reply :
Nice post spawner there, must have been a long fish. Congrats.

Dwight, at least you're chomping at the apple 
Against my wife's wishes, I recently performed some home surgery on an ingrown toenail (vertical cuts & yank-out with needle-nose pliers)
The podiatrist told me that even a youngster abused in this fashion would never heal PICKY - PICKY
In any case, between the infected toe and adverse weather, we haven't much chance to wet a line.
Hopefully that'll change real soon, but in the wake of Speedbead's hippo, my confidence level has been sharply deflated

Somewhere on Lake Erie there's a walleye guy cursing all the monster smallies he keeps hauling in.

I would gladly trade him an 8lb Waldo for the same size smallie. I would even trade him two 10lb sheepshead for one 7 lb smallie.

For anyone in search of pure, unadulterated generosity..............you won't find it here 
FishinDaddy reply :
it's hot...not the fishing, but the air and water temps.
warmer and I managed some good keepers on Toho last Saturday but nothing over 3 lbs.

Good Deal
sounds like Goblets Cove
senile1 reply :
We're still trying here in Northwestern Missouri but I am not even getting close. I caught this 6 lb'er today at Smithville Lake. She was 22 inches long but too slender to carry a lot of weight. Maybe a month ago she would have been a bit heavier with eggs. So 6 lb/13.875 lbs x 100 puts me at a pitiful 43.2 percent. Getting my wife to fill the frame to make the fish look good is something else that I am failing at as well.
RoLo reply :
Beautiful bass Ed.....Way to go!!

Dwight Hottle reply :
Nice one. I sent you a pm.
NEjitterbugger reply :
Doesn't compete with Speeds monster LM but here's my 6lbs 22" caught on a rage rigged rage smokin rooster.. She had just spawned out sadly..
SPEEDBEAD. reply :
That fish has a good frame to it. She should weigh nicely in the spring.
NEjitterbugger reply :
Another nice post spawner... 4lbs exactly and 21", texas rigged rage craw

Shane J reply :
Nice job, everybody. My biggest woulda only been 63.77, so no where near the size I needed. Congrats to the winners! Watch, now I'll break the state record! Haha. Next year, ya'll!
