rushing Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I got a call at 5am while I was at work this morning cuz my buddy Travis(BabyBullies) had to tell someone about the 50lber he had just caught. I didnt have my digi cam in my truck so I wasnt able to get a pic so a co worker of ours stopped and took some with a disposable camera. He doesnt have computer access right now so not sure if the pic is gonna get posted. He said the fish looked like it just got done spawning. Still seems to be a very late/early morning bite. Got me some bullies this morning and gonna hit the river for an all nighter since I havent been out since last thrusday. Congrats to Travis on your new personal best!

moosebaytripper Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I agreee with the just spawned suggestion I caught a 33 lb fish this weekend that had absolutly nothing in it's belly so some havent eaten much yet. nice catch nothing like a big fish to really get the blood flowing.

daruoho Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Those fish are probably Males. Thay are just coming off the nests. they stay and protect the nest for 10-15 days and do not feed. that is why they looked so skinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babybullies Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Well it was a while befor i could get to a computer. Thanks rushing for the post. The final weight was 47 pounds. Got some good pics with a disposeable camera. Ill put them up at the local bait stores in mankato and the srounding areas. Ill try to scan them in to my friends coumper and get them up for all to see. It was my personal best by 5 pounds. I have 4 flats that are 40 to 42 pounds over the past two years so it feels great to break my best from years past. Like rushing said i cought it a 5am and had it on shore at 5:15am. Good fight, lots of power in that one. I had two other run 10 minutes befor that but the cats or possible gar did not take the bait for two long and ended up droping the sucker. Well thats my story and i hope to have a pic up soon. "I AINT EVEN GONNA LIE FROM THAT FISH'N GUY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyT Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 When you get it developed most places will put the photos on a cd for you for a few dollars more. Much easier than scanning yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't do it on a hour photo development. I did that and the scans onto the CD are horrible. But if you send it off to be developed, the CD picts are nice.

Flaco651 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Yeah I would sure like to hook into Flat of that size. I am still trying to get over the 25lb. hump. I really haven't been doing to well this year, mostly smaller Flats & some decent channels. My buddy backed out this past friday so I decided I would stay home. Then I woke up around 3:30a.m. Saturday laid there til 3:45 then got up. I had Bullies so I figured I would give it a shot. I fished from a little after 4a.m. to about 9. One run and a couple snags was it. I just went to the closest spot to my house which is Blackdog. It's been slow over there lately. The way I look at it is if I'm gonna get a trophy this season I just have to keep putting in work on the river, fishing buddy or solo missions whatever it takes!

rushing Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 What ever it takes is right. I fish alot by myself. Even when I go out with friends I tend to stay out long after they call it a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
