Everything Mattlures said about CA is spot on. Slight difference, up here in Nor CA, we have places that are stocked with trout 7 or 8 months a year, and their are holdovers for the other 4-5 months. I truly believe we have fish which eat hatchery trout nearly all year.... but interestingly, because of the climate difference between SO and Nor CA, all we can grow is these "dinky little" 18's ....while they grow those 20+ lb monsters.

 

Sir Snook > There are those that have a credible history on this site and claims of larger fish without a pic are more than believable, other claims may be a bit dubious IMO.

 

Well sure..... But if I caught a huge fish, and didn't have a photo or the actual weight from a scale, I don't think I'd ever mention it on a public forum If somebody wants to believe me, just because I said so, cool ! But this is why I carry "multiple cameras and scales", every single time I'm on the water. They won't have to just take my word for it

 

Peace,

Fish

some of you guys are idiots, I don't care if you don't believe me about my 15 pound catch, but one thing I can say is that the next world record will come from florida that's for sure, I got my 15 pounder on a private lake so I can only imagine what's in everglades or Okeechobee, I have a friend in central florida and he knows a spot where there 15+ pounders swimming around so I told him ill be there everyday in spawn season with my new gopro

Wow. Bassresource finds a way to turn ANY topic into a peeing contest.

Everyone enjoy your fathers day and catch the new WR. Then come back and post about it. But until then lets agree to disagree, refrain from calling names and move on....
