many of us on here don�t accept consolation prizes and we don�t believe in the �everyone gets a trophy� mentality. Just my opinion. TPW can do what they want to try and increase interest in the program. In my book, it takes 13 for a SAL. It will always be that way in my opinion. Yes. Times changes. But not always for the better.

Don�t worry next year it is going to go down to 2 lb lunker so the others don�t feel left out

This is what i think should happen... Lets have a online tourney... If your interested we can set a day and that morning everyone that wants do fish just to prove a point or for bragging rights. (because the majority that have commented on here act like 8lbers come everyday they are on the water...)<<lol BY THE WAY...can log on and we can wear white T-shirts with something (specific)hand written on it to prove that fish was caught that day. Then post it. Then we can see who can truly go out and catch a 8lber like its nothing. Pic of fish will have to be it on scales of course and a length pic to confirm scale was at least close to being zero'd. Its just a idea. Cause I know the majority on here are telling stories... and will continue to... I mean they are fishermen...right? lol

If 8 is a giant, what is a 13?

Enough with the ShareLunker talk... How many burpees did you do at CrossFit?

What trails do you fish Chase? That's what I want to see.....Where you stack up against the Texas sticks? No doubt you have the bass Moxy going for ya but really curious to the standings on the trails you fish versus every few days, catch an 8 when the water is fairly calm (in terms of competitors).

I'm leading AOY in my local club but that's the only tournaments I fish.

Its a giant as well.. monster.. SAL.. fish of a lifetime whatever you want to call it. But what i know is people don't go out and catch them from a public lake everyday they are on the water. People are going to say they do... and yet hate on a guy that is actually posting proof that he is catching big fish or whatever your heart wants to call them. Ill reel any of them fish in any day of the week and smile the whole time doing it. I think people get razzled at chase because he catches them with the proof. I think it makes certain types of people jealous.

I don't mind the posting but the click bait SAL is a little much. Wasted way to much time even scrolling through this dang post.... When you have SAL in the title, PLEASE let it be a monster so I can oogle, congratulate, envy etc.........Otherwise, I get ticked off because I wasted my time on ANOTHER click bait BS post for a standard 8+ bass. I should know better by now but not mad, that's on me..

Why some folks take such offense to something that doesn't affect them, we'll never know I guess...Oh well, we're all flawed in some manner, some more than others.
