Caught ALOT of fish on the Potomic today, but nothing too big. I caught 10+ bass but only 5 keepers for the tourney. I placed 11th for the BFL this week, which isn’t too bad….No I did not take any pics, BUT I have my weigh in slip and a website to back me up, not sure why this wouldn’t count…here’s the link, let me know if we can count these 5 fish….all fish were 2lbs average, nothing big.

just a few this week…

last one, first one on the scale reads 3.17 pounds.

Great fish Pax! Unfortunatley I didnt catch any this week.

No biggie Lake, I might be taking next weekend off so it’ll be up to you guys.

nice fish ohio, i just hope miller will accept my 5 from the BFL.

Good job on the tourney Allstar, I don’t know if that will fly bud but we’ll see how it shakes out.

I hate saying this, and I don’t want to seem like I’m trying to get your fish DQ’d but….. I cant see how the committee can prove they were all 14”. For all they know, the min size could have been 12 and you had five 13” with a 2lb average. I don’t believe you (or anyone here) would enter short fish, but its always in the back of the mind which is why the length needs to be shown. I guess the way the rules are set, everyone is guilty until proven innocent.

I understand BBK, you do have a good point. Fortunately I have the Maryland boat and fish commision to back me up…if you look at largemouth bass 15+ inches are keepers until June 15th

Went to this place today called Blue Marsh (Least fav place to fish) BUT do have 3 fish I can post. I also caught 1 muskie! no pics of muskie tho…. here they are…I didn’t measure because they were all over 3lbs, figured I wouldnt need to show a measurement of these
1st one… Small Mouth

Next one is a Largemouth…both my largies weighed the same, caught them on a chartruese spinner bait.

And the third

I hope you can see the date on the paper, I caught my first fish and hurried to grab a piece of paper and write the date on it.

Good fish Allstar…...some good points for this week. I couldn’t contribute this week, 4 shorts and was lucky to get them.

Good fish man, unfortunatley i didnt catch anything this week.
