Hey Patriot one, you’re right. Seems our government is more concerned about 3 little fish than the millions of illegals that are swimming across the Rio Grande 🤦‍♂️

Mike’s right! If you want to ruin the lake, post it on social media. In the old days you had to put in the time and work. Now you just open up your iPad, see what they’re using, then go Molly hock the hell out of them. Oh ya, Don’t forget to drag them across the carpet before you throw them back.🤬🤯😬

Re: Law that few are aware of

What I’ve referred to has nothing to do with what Kwin posted. My conversation with the warden started about a trout that I released but led to a discussion about bass. As I stated before I thought it was pretty crazy but he was quite adamant about the law.

Re: New Bass Trail up North?

Seriously! Most of these Orgs. have never had a full field in their existence. Seems like every lake, every weekend, has 1 or more tournaments on it. Up north anyway. It would be nice to see fewer numbers of tournaments but with much larger fields. Just my two cents.
