Best to move and try somewhere else after releasing a bass...Choose your lure wisely...surface lures and tubes and wacky worm hooked plastic worms are considered bass lures...
MB picked up one at a Pampered Chef Party a couple of years ago and I like it not only for french fries but it makes great chicken wings ! ... Only problem I have is digging it out of a corner on the kitchen counter so we don't use it all the time...great for reheating fish and chips !!!
Great story Bye...I loves fish'n with my boys too (sons, grand sons, and great grand son...cripes I'm getting old eh?)
With this damn COPD I don't do the walking now so the grand son bought a pontoon boat so that I can get out on the lake again...He's a good lad...I tells his mother !
Last time I carp fished Little Lake at P'Borough was before the die-off...My son landed a dandy about 25 lbs. but unfortunately we had no camera...Had to leave early to go pickup my Father's Day gift of a mobility scooter !
