Title: 2023 Show Your Bass Off!
Post by: bassquatch on April 18, 2023, 07:36:53 AM
A little late this year, but post up those beautiful bass!!

I'll start it off, but I'm going to sit back and watch more this year, as I feel like I tend to post too much.

So let's go!! I want to see all sizes, all smiles and all BASS!!

I disagree.

Always one every year lol


We specified "bass". Nothing wrong with a tasty seabass. Lol

No I don't keep largemouth or smallies. But boy does it stir the pot a bit to see panko in a pan.

In all seriousness fishing has been pretty decent. Having to work for it but smallies coming in up to 5lbs and largies in the 2 to 3.5 range. Should be lights out now. Just have to hit the water.

I couldn't care less who eats bass, as long as they are legally harvested and the person can get past the taste.

I’ve alway thought largemouth bass were excellent eating, smallmouth even better  :dunno:
