You had a good day for sure. You are braver than I with the conditions the way they were. Good job and video it was a pleasure to watch. Thanks!:popcorn
Great job fellas!!! Film some more, I get excited when i see this kind of stuff.
Nice work bowler man.
How about a close up picture of them rod holders you have that you store your rods in.
Wind like that strikes fear in this pontoon owner's mind.
Great report and video. Thanks
Great video............ I think that qualifies for what it takes to be a fishing iron man.............
Those are made of stainless and are made to lay flat after removing rods. They work great , they are custom made from 2-8 rods.Quote:

Hey Bowler Man great video!! Enjoyed It!! You said y'all tagged them, what is on the tag? I like the rod holder on the sides where you store your rods. Did you build them yourself? Again thanks for sharing and please keep it up.
The tag has a ID # and a web address you enter the fishes info there. We have a blues that has been caught three times in four years. He went from 18lb to 47lb in that time period.Quote:

3 times in 4 years! So correct me if i'm wrong but that would be a little over 7lbs a year that they gained? I'm curious on length then, do y'all measure that or just the weight?
We do length but I don't remember what it done there. Our biggest to date broke the scales. But he was just under 50" long and 40" around .
My gosh that had to be a monster! How high would that scale go? You wouldn't have a picture you could share?
He's in my avatar
I didn't know that was it. That's a Beast!! That had to be a long fight.
Yep I caught him in heavy current. Finally had to get in another boat and follow him till he was tired. I only use 20# line.
bowler man that sounds like one we caught at santee below packs landing in the river.48 inches 38 3/4 girth.83 lbs.what a great fight in the river,12 years ago.Quote:

That is a 30 gallon super bait tank 2 (it holds around 42 gallons).The last tournament I had about 40 in it with 4 doZen gizzard shad. My boat has a built in 70 gallon tank in the bow also. My idea of cut bait is when I butterfly a 10" perch and use him whole. Lol That little flatthead in the video hit a 10" live perch moving at around .07mph. There is no such thing as too big in my opinion.Quote:

I use 8/0 circles and up to 10/0 J hookS. I make my own weights they are from 2oz up to 6oz
great video.you must of had a couple of big drift socks out to keep you at .7 mph in that wind.btw are you fishing the Carolina catt tourney at wateree this weekend if so I might just go deer huntin!!LOL
Yep I'll be there.
Bowler Man, what are the times on the tourney and where is the weigh in going to be? Thanks
It is on wateree out of the state park. From 7am till 3pm. Should be some big old fish caught.
Sat. correct?
Yes Sat.
Moving at around .7 did you have a sock out and if so where was it tied?
Where do you get the tags? I release 90% of my fish. Would like to start tagging all fish over 10#.
There not cheap. I get mine from fishtagger.com. they have a great databaseQuote:
