They'd probably die in the boat.

I have learned TONS watching BASS and have many favorite anglers that I enjoy watching. That said, BASS, just like any other organization always has room for improvement. Only a man with the call name Gig Em Aggies could be perfect I guess....

Oh contraire mi amigo, did not suggest I was perfect you did that. I have no suggestions for BASS like some others. They have done very well without mine or any others advice so I keep my suggestions to things I know about. Now I can cure your slice for you if you like. thumb

That said I also enjoy watching Major League Bass Fishing and enjoy their format. They weigh fish and release on the spot. I don't see BASS completely changing their rules but I could see them changing the weigh in aspect.

BASS has used the MLF format for the last two years at Bass Fest at Rayburn and Travis and will next year in May at Fork.

By the way it was the Texas Toyota Bass Fest that invented that format in 2007 at Fork. I had something to do with that decision.


Our club fishes the catch, record and release every Thursday at Fork year round. It just makes sense for us and also that way we can count the slot fish.

No amount of fizzing will help those fish. Those 5lb smallies are old. It'd be like a livewell full of 8-10lbers in Texas. That amount of stress can't be eliminated. The water is cool, it's not an ice issue. Scheduled earlier in summer when they are shallow really is the only option.

Good stuff Bruce Allen, and thanks for the info.
So how do you keep people honest? Honor system I guess?

Trash talk huh. Well it was pretty mild, lol. I use to love to watch when Leach was the coach, it was worth the time just watching and listening to him. PO, he got railroaded. Kingsbury will do a good job, he makes stars out of QB's. Got Johnny football a Heisman and Mahomes will probably start for the Chiefs before the season is over.

Don't know how many of you have ever been to a BASS weigh-in but the care and effort they use to protect and release alive the resource is extraordinary. Considering what the bass go through after being caught and by the time they reach the weigh-in it's amazing the mortality isn't higher. Just a guess, but I'm thinking there are probably more bass eaten on some lakes in a week than BASS loses all year and it's no sin to eat them by the way. I doubt they will ever go to the MLF type weigh-in, too many people show up to see the anglers, their boats and of course the fish. The MLF format was more or less made for TV and not live spectators.

Catching them as deep as they were is the issue. They could take a little better care of them in the boat buts only going to change it a little when you keep them and run a ways.

To get a crowd with this format you need another attraction other than the anglers. The concerts in the earlier TTBC did the trick. Tournament can't stand alone one that format.

If BASS is going to remain in the forefront of the sport, why would they not consider change. Why do they need live wells? They have Marshalls, cant they operate a scale? Who really truly enjoys watching Tripp, Mercer, and some angler hold up a limit of nearly dead fish? I sure dont. I dont think there is anything ethical about letting most of those fish go to be ate by turtles, at least put them in the crisco. food seriously.

So how exactly would you propose they have a weigh in without any fish?
