[MSchmillen]

I am with that guy. NO GREEN CARP!!!

just kidding, like to get over 22" this year, that is my biggest.

how did everyone do? I left something to be desired with my goal of excellents. I fished a few tourneys and if you don't have your dump together for that day you may be out of the money before you start. How did everyone else do?

I didn't top last years big fish, in fact I only got 3 over 20" this year compared to 8 last year. One was on a jig/pig a few weeks ago, my second bass using that setup. Didn't use the jig as much as I thought I would, old habits are hard to break. And even though I got a new boat this year, I found myself fishing out of the canoe quite frequently. I did explore some new waters and had some luck. The only goal that I really accomplished was getting out and fishing as much as I could without getting burned out.

Well I was able to accomplish my first goal, Catch a 6+ pound bass. I got a 6.4 and that made my season. I also fished some new waters and found a few more lakes that hold some pretty nice fish.

I really didn't have any specific goals for this 2006 open water season but I must say it was a success. I finished 3rd in my league of 28 anglers, landed 5 large mouth bass over 20 inches (largest was 21.25 and 5 lbs 12 oz), 7 went over 19 but not quite 20, a bunch in the 18 inch range and three smallies at just over 19, and had a handfull of very successful days where you almost loose track of how many you've caught. That's what it's all about. To be honest, I had a few days where things didn't work out but those are the days that keep me going back. Most important thing from this season is that I feel I've become a much better and more well rounded angler.... I hate to say it on this bass forum but I'm targeting walleyes tomorrow... Haven't put the boat away yet and the forcast looks favorable. I think I'll mark a few spots on the GPS for the hardwater season that's creaping up on us. Ahh.. Thanksgiving break... Teachers don't make a ton of cash but the scheduling is quite condusive to excessive fishing.

Obviously I'd like to catch more and larger fish next year. However, that may be a challenge. This year I caught 2 bass over 6 pounds and 11 over 5 pounds. Next year I'd like to catch a 9 pound bass!

Woo Hoo!

I didnt quite meet my 2006 goals this season. I mean each time I went out, I did GREAT. However, I just didnt have enough time this season to go bass fishing. Thus, I didnt catch bass as big as I did last season.
