Louie has a Bass Tournament coming up, so we were out doing a little pre-tournament scouting. I landed a really nice smallmouth bass! I think this is only the second smallmouth I've ever gotten.
I kind of don't get the point of fishing if you're not going to eat it after!... Everyone I know here who fishes takes their catch home and cooks it...
We eat the other fish, like bluegill, perch, crappie. But here, Bass is considered a game fish, for sport. So we catch and release them. Some people do eat them, but we don't, because Lou is a tournament fisherman, so that's the difference.
Nice! I know they are different fish, but do you ever watch Hillbilly Handfishin' or Mudcats? I've always wanted to try that!! Good luck on the tournament Louie!
Nice! Do you ever participate in the tournaments?
ReplyDeleteOnce in awhile I'll do a tuesday night tournament with him, but the big tournaments are 8 hours long and I don't really have an interest for that.
DeleteI like the smile better than the fish! ;o)
ReplyDeleteWas he yummy? :p
:-) It's always nice to catch a good one. No, we don't eat bass. Catch and release only for us!
