Haha Chad....Team Ortho knows how to get 'em!  

At the last Chautauqua Tourney, my same buddy nailed a 47" the night before, which was his first ever too.  I think next year, I won't let him fish until Saturday!

Tight lines!

My buddy and I got a few between Friday and Saturday, just not during the tournament.

Here are two nice ones from Friday. We got them on consecutive passes through the same school of perch. The big one spit out a couple of 4in perch while we brought her in and the smaller one had a bulging belly too.

47in

44in

Since we didn't have any fish to enter on Saturday, we stayed out and got this fattie at 4:30.

46.5in

I look forward to next year's tourney!

I have 2 Penn 330GTI reels for sale. They are in excellent condition and work great. I replaced the drag washers in both reels two seasons ago and upgraded the handles from the squared off style original to them. I relubed them this weekend, so they are ready to go. I will remove the braid that's on the one reel.

I am located in Rochester and prefer local sale. $50ea.

Thanks!

We raised a bunch of fish in the afternoon, but only managed a 21". The fish behaved very weird. Had a few follow in the baits and open their mouths slightly, almost like tasting the water behind the baits. We observed one roll on its side under the bait to get a better look at it. Kind of reminded me of a dolphin. All fish were very lethargic.

What boat did you have it on?

What model are the smaller Penns and rods?

I'm in Rochester

Edited original post with new price...$60.

I was down there on Saturday and got 3...the largest was 39.5"  I checked the Three Rivers FB page and here are the results from the tourney:

Chautauqua Team tournament results 2015

28 people signed with 13 teams total
29 legal fish were caught with 3 sub legals

1st Dave Fec & Joel Morrow 7 fish 45.75, 41.5, 34.5,34.5, 31.75, 31 & 30"

3rd Mike Coyne & Dave Hummerich 35.5, 34,34,33.5, 32.5"

I've been down here all week and today the weather was pretty much as forecasted.  There were white caps on much of the lake...pretty miserable day.

I'll toss in a new, never used Fenwick IM7 graphite rod with the reel too.

Here are the rod specs:

HMXT  66MHC  6'6"

3/4-3oz  15-30lb  MH Power

$80  Thanks!

I have an Abu Garcia 6600C4 reel that is in "like new" condition.  I probably took it out for a dozen trips and if I used it on half of those, that would have been a lot. 

$60

Thanks!

I made it down to Waneta last night.  With the heat wave this past week the surface temps were between 83°F and 86°F!  It doesn't look like there will be any relief today with highs in the low 90s.

I went out on my first Mostly Muskie charter this past Tuesday and had a great time. Despite low (southeast)/no wind conditions and having bananas on board, we boated 46" and 30" fish. I look forward to my next trip!
