Awesome fish! Thanks for sharing. Great photos.

Makes you wonder just how many times those things get yanked off their beds by site "fishermen"?? Sad.

Yeah sad to bring enjoyment.

Funny you say that fishtimidator. Sight fishing is a type of fishing. Even bass pros fish for bass on beds. Get over it, just handle them with care and they will be fine. I knew I shouldn't have left a report. People like fishtimidator ruin it for everyone. Thanks buddy.

I agree. Please report comments like this to me. Obviously a comment like that is just flame bait and against the rules stated right above the comment box below.

FishSlayer, don't let one guy's comment ruin your day and keep you from posting. The majority of us very much appreciate your contribution. I got blasted one time for posting a report from a trip to a local lake a week after a triploid release (which I didn't know about by the way) about how I was an "opportunity angler" and was a poor excuse for a fisherman. Obviously the guy doesn't know me or had read any of my previous posts. Thankfully the moderators yanked the bad comment pretty quickly. It was obviously directed at everyone. I was pretty hot, but later realized there are just some people out there that are narrow minded. It only takes one. Also, sometimes the way things are written can be misinterpreted (although I don't think that is the case here). :)
Hope you stick around and keep posting those great reports.

I have watched Documentary about fish on beds, and they would watch them and find what the bass were doing. Did you know that its almost always the Male you find on the bed? The Female is there ..somewhere..but she u sally sat about 10 feet away watching "her" male protect the bed. And no matter how many times the male was pulled off the bed by fishermen, he ALWAYS came back and was even MORE determined to protect it. Like you said, treat the fish with care and he will go back and protect his bed. Good report and grats on some good pictures!

I'd remove the comment, but the responses are a mixed bag of agreement and praise, so I'll leave it as an example of what NOT to put in a comment.

One other thing. I gave the report submitters (in this case Fish_Slayer83) the ability to delete comments from their own reports. In the future, just delete it yourself instead of responding to it.

Thanks aaron

i think all these haters just cant catch sight-fish.There is definitely technique involved.YES it's easier ,but we should all be opporunistic fisherman.Catch all you can.You dont have to keep them.But HAVE FUN,CATCH FISH.The easiest way you know how.Dont bag on people for the way they choose to have fun,or fish.Be happy for them.I think these guys have jealousy issues.Open your minds and expand your horizons.no More Haters!!!J U S T F I S H B A B Y !!!!!!!!!!!

How could anyone get cranky with a guy who is out spending the day with his gal catching and RELEASING fish.............Good to see the 2 of you out spending, what looked to be a great day together!!!
