Great idea, run all the way from 515 west to Lake Fork Marina and back, 10 mile round trip. My Yamaha SHO burns nothing but premium. Got anymore great ideas?

It's a 10 mile round trip from the 515 W bridge to LFM??? Man, you must be taking a VERY long way around. And your SHO only requires 89 octane. I guess you don't fish deep much this time of year? I can burn 30 gallons/day checking offshore stuff.

I know our old manure spreader could hold a ton of sh!t(lol) but the spreader action would help to chop the fish up some. would sure make for a stinky field!!

I think its a good idea and a fun way to help work on a problem with an overabundance of the white bass/hybrids out there! Probably catch some monster bass while doing so too! :-)

It's a game fish and has to be kept in edible condition. Whether by the angler or whoever he donates the fish to. Once cleaned, I think the rancher could haul away all the carcasses he wants to.

You can put two bags of ice in the livewell to keep the fish if you don't have room for a cooler.

The two L/W's on my skeeter can each hold 25 fish easily, already done it a few times with Sandbass and Crappie.. A decent size cooler on your front, or back deck will hold 50 fish with no problem
It seems everyone, well not everyone is looking for an excuse not to fish.. If you don't want your fish I'll take them up to my possesion limit.. It don't bother me one bit to clean 100 fish, whats the big deal..
I know Ken said not to worry about it, but I want to keep and cook mine, that day or the next... grin fish on, those big Mag sandies pull real good, kids love it... fish

Sounds like a great idea. If this happens I will go for sure. You might want to up the price a little bit and pay a group of people to help clean the fish or have people there who charge to clean the fish.

The last time I put a knife to a fish Richard Nixon was president.

That's why God invented Pappadeaux's!!

I am not cleaning any fish. Those of you that want to keep the fish for yourselves are certainly welcome to do so but I have found multiple people that will take them whole, uncleaned as long as they are in edible condition on ice.

Like Billy said, a 48 quart chest will hold a bunch of big sandies. Take a couple bags of ice with you and you should be golden. cheers

I'm all for more sand bass tournaments. I've fished the Hubbard and Tawakoni sand bass tournaments. At Tawakoni it's an individual event, and you only submit 5 fish for weigh-in. At Hubbard it's a team event and I think you submit 20 fish for weigh-in. Twenty seems about right for a team event. Fifty seems like too many and increases the problem of what to do with all of them.

Five miles twice is 10. Check it out 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 10. I was going back to 515 to get my other 25 understand then back to LFM.

Us Aggies seem to use more common sense than most folks. Heck, why stop at 50, go for 100 or even 200. Put a #3 wash tub on the back of the boat full of ice and let the good times roll. Hell yeah.
woot
