The official FnF 2008 Fishing Tournament

LORDDAL · May 25, 2008, 05:03:30 PM

so do rainbow browns and brookies fall under the pan fish ar do we have a size for them set like 10" or 12" or something just makin sure before logan and I head out again

FinsnFur · May 25, 2008, 09:40:54 PM

I'll add those LORDDAL. Let's go with 12" on all of them. Anything caught in a lake will surely be over, and it'll keep the brooks and streams from bringing us a plethora of little ones.

The stripper limit is killin me,... ours around here are usually no bigger than about 24-25 inches most of them are hybrids and are only15-18 inches.

I agree with Al on the striper limit (freshwater). Anybody that catches a 30" around here gets it mounted.

Most of mine are in the 18"-20" range.

FinsnFur · May 25, 2008, 10:02:44 PM

Are you both talking about freshwater, if you are I'll add another listing for it. The 30" is for saltwater.

weedwalker · May 25, 2008, 10:06:34 PM

The stripers we have in Ky are all freshwater.

It probably won't matter though. The spring spawning run is over and they went $40 (gas prices) back down the river.

alscalls · May 25, 2008, 10:19:25 PM

Yes in the Ohio river. And what about hybrids? Some folks call them wipers they are a cross between a striper and a white bass and look a lot like a striper.

FinsnFur · May 25, 2008, 10:39:19 PM

It's either 12 or 14 then...we'll go with 14

Stu aint got no pics up yet.....

Well, since its raining here and I cant work today, lets slip off to the swamp and see if we can catch a fish or two.

Be righhhhhhhhhhhhht back

MDM · May 29, 2008, 04:00:19 PM

holy crap :shck: panfish has to be 8inches . thats gonna be kinda hard for creek waders. bluegill and sunfish just dont get that big around here

Coulter · May 31, 2008, 06:39:44 PM

Dang Jimbo...what kind of chemicals you guys have leaking into the waterways up there :shck: 36" Kings still seems to be a bit excessive, at least by Lake Ontario standards. I'll be going up there again this summer, but the average we were getting on kings last time I was there was more in the 30" range.

I guess it doesn't matter anyway, the deadline for the contest precludes me from entering any decent fish. I won't hit the saltwater until the end of July and the Kings won't come until mid August

Okay, I'll quit whining now. I'll just have to rely on the bass, walleyes, and perch

Good luck to all

Steve

Blame that one on Todd

Coulter · June 01, 2008, 10:06:24 AM

Way to go Todd

Coulter · June 05, 2008, 03:56:04 PM

So Jimbo...where does a silver bass fall?

I do intend to stick it in a pan before I eat it. Does that make it a panfish?

FYI...They are usually only 8"-12" when we catch them

And can I get a sticky on my tally please

Steve

northern coyote · June 07, 2008, 11:46:12 PM

what bout bullheads?

where do they fall?

FinsnFur · June 08, 2008, 10:40:18 AM

Well....silver bass, aka white bass, sand bass, actually average 10" to 16", so lets go with a 12" minimum. That work for you Steve?

Bullheads are too commonly measured by weight, but average anywhere from 6" to 12", so how does 8" sound, northern coyote?

I'll edit the list.

northern coyote · June 08, 2008, 01:16:13 PM

sounds good to me

FinsnFur · June 20, 2008, 05:23:09 AM

Ten days left :shck:

DirtyDog · June 20, 2008, 08:09:39 AM

Y know......i am the one who wanted this......and since it started, I have only caught one fish that was even CLOSE to being a keeper.

Most of the time I haven't caught anything.

alscalls · June 20, 2008, 02:40:48 PM

I think ya smell funny...Ya think thats it?............. :roflmao:
