Title: Here's A Bass Question
Post by: Hunterman on February 12, 2012, 09:56:20 AM: When a person goes to land a freshwater bass, you can grab it by the lower lip, and it stuns it,, while with seabass it just ticks them off :bash:

I've had my thumb torn all to heck in a season of fishing seabass, and I'll keep going back.. Ain't nothing like bar-b-q seabass :drool:

Post by: benhuntin on February 12, 2012, 10:41:41 AM: way bigger "teeth" and they are tough as hell. You can always tell how good the sea bass fishin is by a persons thumb. Try atlas gloves and you will never lip a sea bass with out them again. :tup:

Post by: Oneshot1Kill on February 12, 2012, 02:34:18 PM: I usually grab in the gill slits. Though doing that last year got a trouble hook in my hand and after half an hour of slowly cutting the barbs out I got back to fishing. Which sucked cause either the bite ended or the fish didn't like my hand meat as bait.

I think I figured him out.. He waits until we all have the cabezone on then he puts down the dark bait :bash:

I've been told by my father-in-law that if I throw any more cabezone back,, they are moving in with us :yike:

Title: Re: Here's A Bass Question
Post by: lokidog on February 12, 2012, 07:43:27 PM: I just use my 50 lb braid to lift "seabass" out of the water, no worry about seals, but I then grab them with bare thumbs to dehook them. Or, once in a while, a small one is just released by grabbing the jig and flipping them off.

Funny story though.... When I first came to Puget Sound, I was out fishing and caught a little 16 or so inch dogfish. Not seeing any teeth, I stuck my thumb in there to remove my jig. As I unhooked my jig he did a little head shake :yike: I learned real quickly about their "little" teeth!

There is a natural antidote for that. I was taught that a long time ago that nature has a way of putting antidotes near poisons as a general rule to stop the pain. An old timer showed me and it works extremely well and has saved me a lot of misery over the years.
