Re: 8 inch hudd advice
While I've thrown 8" Hudds on both the Dobyns 806 and 807, I prefer throwing the 8" Hudds with a jig hook on the 807 for better hook sets. The Butch Brown rigged 8" Hudds are fine with the 806, but again the little stiffer 807 works better on the jig hook IMHO.

Re: High participation tournament cost turning fishermen away
Could be why kayak tourneys/trails are growing in popularity due to lower costs. Savings in gas, registration, maintenance, etc. on a bass boat alone versus a kayak would be huge IMHO.

Re: Tas Moua Wins LPBT Open on Clear Lake on 8/25/19
The best inches to weight chart estimate I've seen is this one, but it still varies from lake to lake and even fish to fish because of girth also. My estimate on 90.75" is ~17 lbs IMHO.Bsapp206 wrote:Can any one translate inches to pounds for me??? approx??

Re: Anyone Been to Sonoma?
I was up at Lake Sonoma a week ago last Wednesday and it was muddy even before the last rains we got. The fishing is going to be tough with the water levels rising after each storm, and then dropping from the releases to lower lake levels again also I would think!

I prefer Cabela's over BPS, but BPS will price match if you ask. Just give them who and how much so they can confirm it and once confirmed they match. Took me ~24 hours before they confirmed. I had gift cards to BPS given to me so thats how I found out by asking, otherwise I'd have picked Cabela's.

Simple option would have been to offer to help or let them know they should seek help in reviving their fish.

Personally, I fizz fish through the mouth. For me, it's the simplest, most fool-proof method for on-the-water fizzing, because you can do it entirely in, or just above, the livewell, so it doesn't involve excessive handling of the fish, which can remove it's slime coat and further stress it.
