according to Ron Garavelli, director of MDWFP fisheries dept, he urges everyone to catch, put on a stringer, carry home, roll in corn-meal and fry bass fron area lakes... he states that Ms. has the potential to produce record setting bass, but too much catch and release has area lakes over populated...{i never contributed to this problem} check out his article in the March Field and Stream... also send any unwanted fish to Judge jb... a little peanut oil would also be welcome....haha...

Judge I am glad you posted that. I argued with my neighbor not long ago that some of the bass in our neighborhood lake need to come out. All you catch is a bunch of one pounders maybe two pounders. Then there will be an occassional nice bass (maybe one a summer between everyone). He just kept saying that he never keeps bass whether in our lake or in Eagle Lake or Lake Bruin. Thats alright, I'll eat his share too. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Judge around these parts we participate in the CATCH-FRY-AND-RELEASE program.

the waterway has been full of small frys, the keep and eat idea works, we have been keeping all bass from a freind's lake and in the last two years they have gained weight. the bass are relly growing in size and numbers.
