OMG some of those pictures they posted wearing masks while holding fish and teams standing 6 feet apart makes me think they are thumbing fun at this whole situation, the wrong person sees this and squeals is how we get entire lakes shut down like other states have done, or at a minimum all tournament permits get pulled until this is over. Fishing tournaments most definitely fall into the non-essential category. This is a d@mned it you do d@mned if you don't situation, they should not have fished.

Good for those that fished.

This whole thing has taught me something disappointing about myself. This morning was the 2nd time in 3 weeks where I had my alarm set at 4am to make the 2 hour drive to a lake of my choosing, and because there wasn't a tournament or person waiting on the other end for me, I hit snooze, slept in, and won't be going fishing. For shame...for shaaaaame.

you need that kid of yours to get a little bit older.

It’s hard for me to “fun fish” any more honestly. A couple weeks ago in cedar creek I watched a guy in a bass boat working a bed fish for at least 30 min. And he has already been there fishing in the cove for who knows how long before I pulled in. I was prefishing, but I thought how could someone want to catch a bass sooooo bad to stay in one spot for that long just pitching to same spot over n over n over n over. Just to catch it reel it in and drop it right back in the water. If he even caught it. And then I remembered back when I was young at Fork I’d spend 30 min trying to catch a 4lber. Sad I lost that. . But now I’m not spending 2 min unless it’s in a tournament, and I need it!! Lol

the sky didn't fall? dammit!!!

If you wear a cloth mask that does not filter out virus particles.. it will help! I heard it on the internets! Save yourself from the sky falling, mask up!!
