Mike Szopinski, with his 52 during the week.
Guess who will show up with a few beast as soon as he forwards me the pictures????
Joe Vandermeir with a 51 1/2" from today. Still waiting for some pics.
Who's pictures are we waiting for? Why of course Andrew. With his usual covey of weekly 50's. Beautiful 50 1/2 & 52 1/2 beasts.
Wow,3 nice ones!I'm gonna hire a different guide!
Just got lucky and was in the right place at the right time. The learning curve sure has been shortened by coming up to Bay Store. I wasn't much of a weed fisherman unless they were combined with rocks but this week sure changed that. There is still lots of learning to do but every year I learn something new. The fish sure seemed to be showing themselves this last week, looks like the guys in camp should have a good week.
Hey DP was that 48 the morning I left off a certain spot I may have seen you on. There were quite a few fish in there at one point, not sure if that still is the case.
Frank go get those 2 big girls on you know where.
Wow !!! What a beauty. The kids were amazed .......wish you could've seen there faces when I showed them this picture. Have fun!!Quote:

You obviously have never met Tony Rizzo. Even Ruhmann looks down on him.
Another week......another 51 for Andrew.
Guy comes up for one day, and another 51. Note, this is the Hellkat fish without the dental device.
Think I should have titled this post, "The Andrew Show"??????
He's back.................................
Think this picture was taken to hide the spot??????
Nice fish Dick. Looking good. I was sorry Becky and I just missed you. Give em Hell.
Yes, i'm back. after over a month off the water got here last nite.In time to net a biggie for Frankie again,get cut and bruised releasing his fish again,nothing changes I guess.(we did have quite an evening though:))
Overslept this morning but all is well.Got 3 fast including this one I've waited 40 years for on this Lake.Sweet.Sorry about the 'self portraits' but it was a nice one-precisely measured.
My skills with a camera are what they are but.....Very pleasing day-and we are heading out now so it likely isn't over.
Nice fish Andrew and I AGREE on the HellKats!!!
Here's the other pic-as bad(or good) but....
Sorry.
Oh my god, that thing is a slob. I've seen plenty of pictures with you and a fish, but, despite the trick shot angle, that fish has got to be one of the biggest. Well deserved.
Butch Zens guided his brother Gary to this 50 3/4" fatty today.
Very clean, beautiful Lunge DP! Congratulations!
Dick,
Congrats on the fish! How does it feel to finally get that piece of as_ after 40 yrs?
Yes Dick congrads on that fish, so is she a "Legal" and I hope we get her in November :D
Yes.Yes.
Numbers today.Biggest I heard of so far was 47.Weather changing a bit-lil cooler.We'll see what happens.
Tony Rizzos old saying of 'any change,is a good change' is largely true I think-except when they already are going.:(
What..........again???????
Lets just call this one a 'test'.Poor Frank.So disgusted I cut off tails he rigs me a tripod.=cut tails.
Then yesterday he rigs my camera vertically on the tripod,makes me pose,marks the precise spot for me to place the tripod and for me to stand.Well he must have screwed up!!!!Certainly I,the 'mechanical man',can't screw up.
I think he fails to appreciate the 'age' factor.At my age its simply asking a lot for me to secure the net,set up the camera,hit the 'timer',scramble back to the fish,get a grip,then try 'pose',all in 10 seconds.Nowadays it takes me that long just to get to the trolling motor.Not to mention it was still poor light time.Give it up Frank.
On top of that,this 'Fall' fishing is too dam easy,I'm going hunting.
Im not sure if anyone else is having this problem but when i pull up the bell tolls page there is only one page.I can only view the first page and thats it . any help app.
I would try the webmaster, if you get no help there you might try going to User CP, then Edit Options, and look at settings.
Nice fish Dick! I think you should axe the 10 second camera pic idea and get a video recorder set up like Joe Bucher's. Tape the whole deal! Put it all on your second dvd and post You Tube clips on here and talk about what your doing. Man would that be awesome! Sure looks like some Sept fatties! I'd hate to see them in November. They are some dandies! Keep tallying them up.
Congrats!
Craig
Hi Craig.
Yeh I hear you.I need to focus(pun?)on a new set up for next year or just stop this.I feel its too stressful on the fish the way I'm doing it now.I actually have most of them on video anyway though so maybe someday i could put....
Anyways this thread is a good place to put some good news for those that fish here.This incredible stretch of warm stable weather has given us a glimpse of the fishery I think.LOTS of big fish around and an incredible population of 'nice' fish.
Been here 5 days and its hard to describe -or- believe.Fishing a few hours morning and evening has produced more nice fish than I've ever seen or caught.Multiple 5 fish days and only 2 the whole time under 40 inches.Been going out the last couple hours with Frank and think our worst night produced 2 fish.The only day we fished together morning and evening was slow-we only got 5 with an average of about 44 inches.
A word for Wendy.Wendy I heard from Butch and Gary you are flying in to fish a couple days with Frank.If this weather holds,you are in for a treat.He has at least 2 different knee knocker brutes lined up-REAL knee knockers.Should be your time!!!
To everyone else who is still coming for the Fall-you should get some incredible fatties this year.They are here,they are fat,and they appear ready to do business.Good fishing,heading home to hunt.
What a life. I missed a turn some where.:confused:
Yes Sully,that explains the 'loose screw'.
Boy am I glad that DP went home and left a few fish without sore mouths for me. Enjoy the hunting Dick. I am sure that Frank kept a few secret spots for us to drag a lure through. Dennis, we might try your favorite spot one of the days. The bell has been sitting idle too long and rust is starting to form on the clapper. We will see what can be done about that.
Tim Grybowski scrapes the rust off today with a 51".
from somewhere,,,,way,,,,,,, far away from you.
Got it on that little lure I made and promised you one. Will get at it this winter and see what you can do with it.

I was pretty happy with my measly 49 this afternoon, until I saw Darren's 52.
Pretty awesome.
Brett, she's a beauty. How big????
Congrats Darren!
Are you sure it wasn't Carols rod?:)
Jerry Lally with a 50 1/4. And yes, it was on Carol's rod. She stayed in today, and it was caught in what would have been her position.
Boy, that looks close to camp?
