Ernest T. Bass

Over the past several weeks I have frequented a series of watershed lakes and have caught numerous bass. Most of them are decent size of about 2 lbs. with a few going near 4 lbs. They are all healthy and in good condition, chunky and active. What I can't understand is what is available to them as forage sources. I see no small fish in the shallows, no minnows or tadpoles. We have caught no other species in the ponds except bass. What do you suppose they are eating to keep them in such good condition? :-? :-?

Hello Everyone, I just joined the forum today and wanted to introduce myself to all the lunker-landers out there in the Bass Nation. Just got back today from pulling a few mossy-backs out of the waters of a chain of beaver ponds/watershed lakes here in North Georgia. Although I love to fish for bass, I guess I could not be considered an elitist, as I have fished for many species including trout and panfish. Every year I go out West and fish for trout in the Rockies. Here in North Georgia there are several lakes and rivers where both largemouth and smallmouth can be taken. Hope to converse with all of you in the months and years to come.
