Seeing something like that in a trash can is upsetting. And this is my final post on the matter but I just went to the Moosehead Lake Fisheries Coalition's facebook page. It has 58 likes - my wife's dog page has 475 - it's all about perspective. A-Jay

Thanks And - I hope you're right. A-Jay

Good Luck. A-Jay

Fair enough - but the lake is 40 miles long by 10 miles wide. The effects of Hook & line eradication seem minimal at best. A-Jay

Good Morning and I was hoping you'd chime in here. I can appreciate & do respect your educated input here. Beyond the obvious science behind what the Moosehead Lake Fisheries Coalition is trying to accomplish, you have a unique perspective in that you live there. You know the history and with a camp on the lake, you have skin in the game. As Moosehead Lake is approx. 40 by 10 miles, with over 80 islands and more than 400 miles of shoreline, I am going to go out on a limb here and say that after this "derby" is over even if it wildly successful the actual impact felt by the resident bass fisherman, will be minimal. As for the "science & biology" that is driving this event - I never agree with it. The shear size of the water leads me to believe this is an attempt to appease & or raise money & awareness. A-Jay

Without getting into whatever politics is involved here, and after reading a little about the Moosehead Lake Fisheries Coalition, I'll admit this definitely rubs me the wrong way. But I'm not a big trout & salmon angler so perhaps I'm missing something. What I do find interesting is here we have a situation where trout anglers want to kill bass (smallmouth in this case) in order to reduce the competition / number of mouths to feed, so the trout & salmon can thrive. And not too long ago a different state became very famous in the bass fishing world by using trout to Feed bass, again to help them thrive. A-Jay

You probably wouldn't attempt a max hard turn while traveling at highway speed in your vehicle. Same applies to your water craft. High speed and sudden direction changes in virtually any evolution rarely end well. Treat your equipment like your life depended on it, because on the water - It Does. A-Jay

I'll say a quality Pearl Necklace could be a classy way to mark the occasion. Of course the presentation will most likely have to include taking her someplace nice to show them off and a new outfit. Good Luck A-Jay

Nice Bass & Great Smile. Getting a good one while on RECON Operations is always a Big Confidence Builder Congrats A-Jay

Chewed. And it's all on the front - just the way I like it. A-Jay

I do not know for sure - But I think there may be some type of limited access involved. Either way - the man (and his wife) catches some very respectable bass. A-Jay

You'll find that the membership here is routinely game for this and will usually entertain it - - for a while. I will warn you however, that starting one of these in the dead of winter, can be a risky proposition . . . A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

Earlier this spring I saw a ton of real super tanker pike sunning in the shallows that looked like they had been through a meat grinder - all presumably the result of the spawn - A-Jay
