Cooooold Tonight !!

[Jim Carlson]

It's supposed to be around 33 degrees by morning. I'm sure I'll hear no sympathy as it gets colder in most other states, but this is central FL. People around here get frostbite at 45 degrees! Pretty bad when you need to consider winterizing in this neck of the woods.

 

[Ken Neeley]

Quit yer whining!!! LOL

The windchill index here is about 6 degrees right now....so cold out your nose hairs freeze up as soon as you step out the door!!!

Winter SUCKS!!!



BTW Even though that smallie action is GREAT up there Ken, you are CRAZY to stay there. 3 days of summer does not a climate make HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Ken Neeley]

Lucky for you, those 3 days came while you and Tox were here!!!

 

[Christopher Laurencio]

15 degrees in NJ tonight. I hate the winter!

 

[Ken Neeley]

Think of it this way.....if every day were a sunny day, then where would the joy of a sunny day be???

 

[Donnie Matney]

Iam in Philly tonight cant wait to get back home in KY where it is a little warmer.

It's because of the cold that Ken and the rest of the MVM has such great fishing. Them fishies only got 3 months to reproduce and eat!!LOL!!

[Ken Neeley]

That's got me thinking....how old is one of our 5lb smallies compared to a Dale Hollow or Pickwick 5lb smallie?



Too lazy to research it right now.



SoCo and MVM rules!!!!!!

 

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

My guess is that yours will take longer to get to that size.



TOXIC

 

[Ken Neeley]

That's exaaaaactly right.....older and wiser!!!

 

[JAMES MOORE]

13 degrees and dropping. Suppose to go below zero tonight.

Ye Ha means ice up and tip-ups will be coming out soon.

 

[Carlos Hathcock III]

Ken,

If that was summer I would hate to see your winter HAHAHAHAHA

 

[TROY WAINRIGHT]

hey bass what part of florida ,im near daytona

 

[Bob G.]

Supposed to drop down to 3 degrees tonight.



I have read that it takes 3 to 5 growing seasons for a smallie to reach 12 inches. Based on that, I would think that it would take the better part of 10 years to reach 5 pounds.

I was stationed in North Dakota in the late 70's. I am orignally from Louisiana. One Christmas eve it got down to minus 60 degrees with the wind chill. When people talk about being cold here in Louisiana, I just laugh. Those people live up there and enjoy it.

According to an articles published by a fisheries biologist a 5 pound smallmouth in northern waters would be about 15 to 18 years old . A guy in our club caught a smallmouth in Canada which weighted in over 7 pounds I believe . The fish died on him so he gave it to some local biologists they told him that the fish was around 23 years old in fact it was so old that it was infertile . What was nice is that they had skin mount made for him when they were done with the fish at their cost . I believe it is still the largest smallmouth taken form that area of Canada

Cold here in Charlotte also (similar to Atlanta). However, most of the moisture is being blocked by the mountains (Appliachan's), so that's nice.



Better than 2 years ago when we had a big ice storm in the middle of December. Man, what a mess.
