Pics Of A Few Decent Fish I Caught Last Week

[moguy1973]

We had a small "tournament" going on at my work place in which we had from March 1 to October 31. The winner would catch the biggest fish percentage-wise with respect to the state record fish in the state the fish was caught in...The rule was that you had to take a picture of the fish on the scale with the numbers clearly readable. The losers all had to pay the winner $20, and there were 5 of us that participated. The winner ended up being a 1lb 6oz white crappie which put it at 30.1% of the state record caught out of a creek off the lower Meramec River.

These were 3 of the fish I caught during the last week of competition this year that were close to beating that crappie. All caught on a local St. Louis lake with a chartreuse/black Square-A Bomber.

3lb 0oz (21.6%)

4lb 1oz (28.8%)

3lb 1oz (22.01%)

I did catch this smallmouth earlier in the summer that would have blown the crappie away but I don't know how much it weighed because my scale got wet and stopped working so I couldn't weigh it. I'm guessing it was 2.5-3lbs which would have been around 35-42% of the state record...Oh well, there's always next year and it was fun fishing just about every day that I could get in...

Nope. It's actually just 10lb clear Triline mono. It looks green because there was a funky green film on the lake all last week. It coated my line and looks green on the spool.
