Its not blood, It was just red. Any ideas? Anyways It was a good size bass forgot to weigh it XD my mistake.

this thing is adorable, I didn't even know they bit this small.

Well?

Usually im ok with touching them but that one bit me while I was taking the hook out. wow, that must of hurt with those massive teeth they have. XD lol

That's the only reason you need. I strictly CPR but if somebody keeps fish to help put food on the table I see no problem with it. As supportive as I am of CPR, somebody's need to put food on the table outweighs bass conservation IMO and I think gung-ho CPR people sometimes forget that. Yea I agree with you. But it doesn't make sense to me if you are fishing to put food on the table - let's think about this: He can catch 5 bass in 3 days of fishing. How many Bluegill or Crappie can you catch in 3 days of fishing? We are trying so hard to build up the smallie population in my creek here...daily bag limit is one and it has to be 20"+ to take that one True, it would be much more efficient to fish for bluegill or crappie your right and I see your point. All I'm saying is that it shouldn't be a big deal if somebody who needs to keeps a bass does. I don't fish here for the bass. I do for the trout and landlocked salmon, but I'm not about to pass up a meal if all I catch is bass.

Usually im ok with touching them but that one bit me while I was taking the hook out.

Nope, all I got was a flimsy piece of paper with a sticker on it saying i could fish. lol

Its their spawning season. Catch and release until June 13th. And why eat them? Because I eat almost every fish I catch. Not alot of money and this way I can cut down on my food cost.

Not to bad. Going back later today. To bad we can't eat these yet. can't figure out how to post more than 1 pic, so I put the biggest one up.

anyone know the limit for bass once in season in VT?
