Well Guys, This Summer Season has been going on for a month and 7 days - and so far no fish for points. Will submitted a 7 1/2 inch Rio (see photo) and I recently fished Bayou St. John and am submitting a 9 inch Rio (see photo). It must be the oil, or the heat, or other things going on. If you have caught a fish for points let me know I'll post it. We are going with length instead of weight for big fish this season, I recommend one of those Home Depot yard sticks - they are easy to see in photos and only cost 59 cents. I am thinking about a Rio tourney forAugust/September, what do ya'll think?
Last year the winning Rio in the NOFF Tourney was 9 1/2 inches, so there are bigger ones out there; and I threw this one back - so he may be bigger now. Ryan and I are going out Monday Morning in Bayou St. John if anyone would like to join us.
Here Fishy Fishy Fishy. Nice Fish Brian. Did you catch him out the Canoe? Trolling for Rio's sounds like the ticket for the big boys.
ReplyDeleteWill, Yeah I caught him in Bayou St. John on a Beetle Spin. I launched just north of Harrison and fished the back side of the island near some big beautiful houses. 5 Bluegill a bass, and this Rio - All released. Ryan and I are going back Monday Morning if you are available.
