Perfect Hook Set

DAY 3

Pictures from the tourney with anglers representing states such as Conn. NY, Maine, NH, Mass, Vermont, RI (i believe), canada I HAVE 40 TOTAL PICTURES Most of the others are anglers on stage waiting for their weight / getting interviewed. These are the pics of the anglers who held fish up. If you want me to post the rest from day 2 let me know I didnt take pics of all anglers yesterday but, I will see what i can do today

Not sure but, i suggest fishing the shallows for a while

Bullhead BASS

I am heading to Cabelas and figured I would pick up a cheap reel or reel/rod. Either: Cabelas Prestige (which I have and like) or Shimano Solstace

thanks .dsa i was watching a documentary where a gentleman was talking about people worrying about them "walking" the gentleman said some thing to the effect, these fish should not be feared in any way and its not like they are going to sneak into your house and ****** a beer from your refrigerator

i never stated they were deadly to humans how many have been caught and tested for game fish in their stomachs? how fast do there digestive system works? depending on the number this may not prove that they do not prey highly on game fish

1. does it matter if its old? 2. if they arnt dangerous they why are they being hunted in so many states no fish and release on them more like fish and kill

I agree with those who said, that bass will attack any size bait / lure etc. I have seen bass eat live small mice (not used as bait) and Small birds (not used as baits) If a bass attempts to eat something too big but, it can not fully swallow the prey, the bass may die. Big largemouth "dead" after attempting to eat a fish it could not swallow There is an exception in my opinion which is that there are parts of the year (winter especially) where bigger bass may not expend as much energy chasing something big. Bigger bait bigger fish never stuck with me because, I have caught 6in bass on a 6in spook and a 5lb lmb on a 3in rapala jerk bait. Bass eats mouse (tank too small for mouse) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuRH1u1BRmk Good studies one being distance of prey / size http://www.montana.edu/~wwwbi/staff/mcmahon/Pred-Prey.pdf This was taken from http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/bassmaster/youth/news/story?page=b_youth_BassEat_JrBMM_0106 "Bass also choose their food based on their size. The bigger the bass, the bigger the meal. Largemouth in California often eat rainbow trout 10 to 12 inches long, and Cross once found a 12-inch gizzard shad in the stomach of a 10-pound largemouth. He has, however, examined stomachs of big largemouth that were crammed full of tiny grass shrimp, proof that bass will eat whatever is easy to catch." "Largemouth bass switch from a diet of mostly insects to a diet of fish and other larger prey when they reach about 8 inches," says Cross." This info was found here http://www.jimporter.org/articles/article59.shtml "Any prey having a body depth less than the diameter of the bass' mouth may be consumed."

I was searching for a video for bass and found this one of a "pet" snakehead. Arnt the illegal?

woot woot I caught another no JK after catching that fish all I have caught was dinks ! 1lbers!

Thursday last week

If fish thought like humans I am sure it would have regretted dragging that big belly around just to get a hook in its face... It may have not been a record bass but, heck I can't complain one bit. I have only seen a few bass that had a giant gut but, again this is the 1st I ever caught or seen in person. Thanks guys

Thanks everyone I would have only had pictures on my phone if my buddy did race home to get his cam!

Thanks guys Now if only I can find some more decent bass this year !
