In before the lock!


You all probably already know my opinion on the topic. Anybody starts bugging me about where I catch bass, especially someone who kills bass, I tell them, "Figure it out for yourself. Learn to be a skilled and ethical angler. Explore the lakes, ponds, and rivers. You will find the fish you are looking for." .

Bass grow slow at our latitude. According to some sources, it takes three years for a bass to reach twelve inches. Three years!

A twenty-two inch bass could be over ten years old!!

With that in mind, it's easy to see it doesn't take many bone heads to destroy a bass fishery. How many years do you think the average bass in the average body of water lives before some selfish moron takes him home for dinner?

My opinion is, if you know of a under-utilized bass fishery, keep it to yourself. There are a lot of selfish and ignorant anglers out there who will ruin it for you and everybody else who uses it.
