I couldnt agree more with this.

Like I said, I wasn't trying to be a jerk or pass any kind of judgement. I learned everything that I know from other people showing me. I was just trying to help and offer a suggestion. No harm, no foul. Nice catches by the way man.

I appreciate your help and you are 100% right. You should not try to put a fish on the ground as it can harm them, like you said their slime coat acts as their outside immune system. I only did it so I could get a nice shot with the camera and then I would quickly release them. One of the bass would not stop shaking his head when I lipped it and it fell once or twice on the ground but all the fish where fine.

Howie, if what you said had to do with the trash around the lake, man some parts of that lake are just disgusting. Near Asbury their was garbage all over the bank and it smelled like sh!t! If they want the lake to be a nice clean place to fish I suggest the people should clean it up!!! Including us.

Thanks Snapper. I really appreciate you realizing that I wasn't trying to bust your chops. Great job on the catch and release and keep on catching fish. Having fun is what's most important. A lot of people forget that's what fishing is supposed to be about.

I think your interest in the area is outstanding. Maybe write a few letters in your spare time to the communities that the lake is in. I think you are a student as I remember. Start a letter campaign, get others involved, next thing you know your on the town council, then the mayor, and so on. It's a great place to start, some day you will need to write a college thesis. Can we call you Mayor Snapperhead ? Great report !

My lake in northern jerz is producing the same kind od results. I have seen a the same type and size, as well as tons of nice, bigger bass in the shallows on the beds...and wanting nothing to do with anything I've thrown at em.

Whatever bro. That's what I meant. To me, catch and release means closed. I'm bass fishing too and am well aware that's not illegal, but it is illegal to keep them. Meaning closed.
