5 Dollar Fishing Game

Awesome! We are in Fuquay. Holly Springs is about 5 miles west of us. Some people around here still call downtown Fuquay Springs or Mineral Springs. :-)

Same to you!!!

Hellllooo South Carolina and Ohio! Merry Christmas!

Cool! Thanks and merry Christmas from Fuquay Varina.

Merry Christmas! Happy birthday Jesus. :-)

First, celebrating the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Second, celebrating today is my one year anniversary of bass fishing! Plenty of fellowship with friends and family and more fishing stuff too! Merry Christmas to all of my bass resource friends. :-) - Joe

Bill Dance Outdoors Fishing with Roland Martin FLW Series

Man that's a good story though! Great catch on a big fish too!

I did hear they can tire out, but not them dying from lactic acid build up. Any others?

Tom the man!!!

That makes sense. I researched some on "strip the line". Does that mean the fish will fight so hard that it actually pulls away like with the drag? Or does it mean that you manyally have to give it more line with the other hand?

Does strip line mean swim away!

I agree. All the fish I can remember catching, whether fighting or not I have pulled in without wasting time. :-)

We have all heard the expression "That fish is putting up a fight". Some people have said that when a fish is fighting it is best to let them swim around for about 10 seconds or so to tire them out. Any truth in this? Joe

When someone says "you are crazy to fish in this weather!"

The last one has great info!

Justin that sounds humane and pretty cool. I can picture a bunch of bass sliding down a little water slide lol.

So the octopus hooks are the cats meow. :-)

I can't wait to try that technique tomorrow Dave and tmmytomato. ;-)

Big Stick Joe, Springlake is about 30 minutes from me. I have fished the docks at Bass Lake before. We need to hit up Shearin Harris one day.

Sega Bass and Rapala on my wii keep all mine alive. Lol

True that Shane! Have the camera ready and the scale and make it quick. :-)

Cool! Thanks Sloan. :-)

What percent would you say of bass make it through? Maybe over 90%? I always wondered that.

I imagine if one of the fish die while getting transported for the final weigh in of the day, the fish does not count. Does the angler get a penalty and how often do the bass die in live wells in pro tournaments?
