6/2/2012 9:03:00 AMAmen on releasing the bass in such a small lake. Some real pigs have been caught there, and I'm sure many of them caught were caught and released before by others. I love bass filets as well as the next guy, but I have a standing rule....If you fish in my boat you release the bass you catch. I"ll weigh it, take of picture of it, but then it goes back in the water. If folks want fish to eat, there are perch, bluegill, and other warm water species whose population needs to be thinned, and are great table fare. Back in the 70's and before we regularly caught 5, 6, 7, 8 lb bass from even the smallest of our lakes. And, myself included, we took them home. Back then there wasn't even a limit on bass. And I had pictures of stringers of big bass I'd be ashamed to show now. No, catch and release for bass is a good thing. Okay, I'll get off my pulpit now.

6/2/2012 9:16:00 AMNice catch...I think I HOOKED that one before....the orange one that is....
Yeah, great cover and lots of potential for big bass. Best opportunity is in a boat or yak for sure.

It rivals the mutt with extra fins you pulled out of here last year c17hydro.
look a few post deep on this page:

6/2/2012 4:18:00 PMHey nate, I think he was making a joke about your yellow fish. Ya know, floating because its made of plastic......At least I hope he was. You deserve nothing but accolades for your catch and release point of view. Especially for that little lake.

6/2/2012 4:28:00 PMNate, that was in no way a stab at you. The 3 eyed fish was because of the water quality of the lake, and the C&R spiel was to try and encourage it. I don't know you from anyone else aside from what you post on here, as you don't know me. If I launch a personal attack at you it won't be so subtle.

6/28/2012 8:40:00 AMWhat's up brother! I see Nate is a postin' bass again! Great thing about him catching and releasing those bass is we get to see how the bass are growing there since he catches so many of the same fish in the exact same place. I wonder sometimes from reading his posts that maybe somehow he has been eating a few fish....just by READING his posts...hehehehe! By four now....bak to lunching airplains!!!!
