you hating on both of these dudes?

I approve this thread...........

Haters gonna hate! LOL!!!!

Really Dale? Let's see, Tffers Ken A. and Stax08 were out there just this past Saturday. They boated three fish, I believe. A 12, and two fours. And another bite was missed by the guide and owner of the 40 acre pond/lake plus Pat lost an ~ 8 at the boat. In 9 hours of fishing. By three guys that might can fish a little.

If you'd like to comment on high-fenced hunting, perhaps you should spend a credible amount of years behind and in front of those fences before you speak.? I'd guess from your comments that you haven't. Same for fishing.

Private lake fishing boasts a higher percentage of success than "high-fenced" hunting. My theory on why...pea-sized vs. pear-sized brains. Really.

All of that aside, when you get right down to it, the argument over this place or that is a matter of personal preference, and nothing more. Of course one's odds of a lifetime pb are much better on managed vs. unmanaged properties.

So what? Doesn't make the guy with a 78 Chevy living in a 63 trailer's 8 lber any less of an accomplishment than the guy who caught the 12 out of his own private lake, from his state-of-the-art bass boat, unless of course you are in it for the EGO.

Quit biiitttching about who, what, and where and start fishing. Spring is upon us and it's time to rejoice in a fresh, new year!

High fence fishing and hunting, oh so much fun.

So why do people go to fork......for the chance
If it wasn't there we would all fish Bridgeport to catch 10" fish

Last time I was at Fork nobody was charging me $1500 to fish. Plus that is where the state record was caught.

My only concern is WHY so many are SO worried about what everyone else is doing! Just enjoy life and be happy! Who cares where fish are caught! The angler still had to make them bite and land them after the fact. Too many negative Nancy's!

state record?

I tried to catch a DD out of the tank in LFM. Couldn't get that SOB to bite. Had the camera ready and everything

So here is my question for all that bash the Bell and other small private waters...If you got the call tomorrow to go for FREE would you pass???

Be honest...We are all on here for one reason, we LOVE the sport of bass fishing and enjoy the banter back in forth with our fellow man, who enjoy it as well.

Here's the deal boys...4 acres, 40 acres or 1400 acres, we all love to bass fish and we love the pursuit of the giants...If you had the shot you would go in a minute! So do us all favor and save the "I can�t believe you would pay that, or fish that aquarium" BS...It�s been done already.
