Brag'n Board: August 2000
I have put together some
August 2000 Florida fishing pictures. Although no trophy size
bass were caught during this month I was however unable to get
the net under one that would have been in the 6 - 7 lb. range
for a client from Korea if it had not thrown the hook. I did
manage to get the net under a 5 lb'er for him which is considered
to be a trophy bass in Korea (see picture and report below).
A 3 foot alligator was also landed and released during this month
by a Deleware father and son team. The look on their faces speaks
for itself (see photo below). Click on any of the months listed
below to view trophy bass pictures and bass fishing reports about
Lake Okeechobee trophy Florida bass that were caught while wild
shiner fishing on Lake Okeechobee by anglers from across the
United States. Our Florida bass fishing pictures are also cataloged
under each month they were caught during the 2003, 2002, 2001,
2000, 1999 and 1998 calendar years. A fishing report on amount
of bass caught, area caught on Lake Okeechobee and other information
is listed with each Florida trophy bass fishing picture. To ensure
validity the angler's name, address, phone number and e-mail
address is also listed.
This
3 foot alligator which tried to eat our float and hooked it self
in the tail was the only trophy this father and son team boated
and released unharmed.
Chae Myong Chi (left) and
his son-in-law Chuck Etheridge (Taegu, Korea - ph: 011-82534734777
- e-mail: EtheridgeC@usfk.korea.army.mil) caught 117 Florida
bass up to 5 lbs during 3 days (Aug. 2-4, 2000) of Florida
wild shiner bass fishing with Cap'n Ron. Mr. Chi caught the 5
lb. Florida bass and had a larger one (6 - 7 lbs) throw the hook
just as I was trying to net it. Chuck and his father-in-law on
their last morning (Aug. 5, 2000) with me also bagged 2 wild boar
hogs. We Florida bass fished in the Harney Pond Canal and Fisheating
Creek areas of Lake Okeechobee. They released all (116) Florida
bass and kept the 5 lb'er for mounting.
