Some of you saying you don't care about how many fish die are part of the problem with all fisheries, some may say you are idiots, but what do I know. Selfishness in its greatest form.

nobody keeps unders like they're supposed to so you might as well kill them in tournaments

There will be a lot less killed there than there was at the Mad Dog Moore Tournament.

What is the over and under of dead bass that will not be filleted for consumption, including delayed mortality that will be tossed back into the lake at the BIG BASS SPLASH this weekend?
Pry they stay safe out there.
Alot less than would die if everyone in the tournament kept a limit of unders like the slot limit tells us we should do.

Maybe less sharelunkers are being turned in because such a high percentage die, read a lot about them dining after they were turned in. Not sure if I would turn one in, can't wait until I'm forced into that decision. Lol

Kinda like the sand bass deal has hurt the bass in Lake Fork. If truth was told the bass are in better shape now because of the Sand Bass than just 10 years ago. Those Big Bass now have something easier to eat and get full off of. Folks just need to figure out how to catch them.
That's my Forkin opinion.
8 sharelunkers from Fork in 2006-2007. -0- in 2015-2016. I'll bet many of the locals and guides would disagree on the health of the fishery today versus 10 years ago, as it relates to Big Bass. go back even farther and look at the amount of entries in the early and mid 90s compared to now, its amazing.

Most Share a lunkers don't die. If you look they started in 2010 recording if the fish died, or was released back to the lake. With the exception of the 14 15 season the vast majority of the fish submitted where spawned and returned to the lake.

IF Hydrilla returned in about a 35-40% coverage,I'm pretty sure SAL's would start popping up again on a regular basis within 3 yrs. yes there are SALS's still there but I truly believe there would be a LOT more. Just my opinion. Talked to a buddy this evening on Toledo Bend & the little bit of grass they had found was sprayed 2 weeks ago & is completely gone now. Ruined 2 good spots he had found.
