[#008000]P.S. And leave Sparky meister out of it. He didn't make you do anything - you did it your own self. Besides, Would he blame anything on you ?[/#008000]

Dont worry about the rookies Leaky, you dont have to clean "trash fish"[] Just need alot of salt, tarter sauce and a barf bag for later!!! Man we started it now, the Bass Boys are going to have their thongs in a bunch!!![:p][]

Would you believe, the Sparkinator actually tried to help!!!! A lot of shouting and hollering at him had no affect.[] As punishment, he didn't get any. Liar, liar, pants on fire. [laugh][laugh] It was a fun trip.[fishin]

I suppose one of us should chime in. "You should have let that fish go, I am so yada yada, catch and release and so forth"
I have no problem with people eating bass as a bass fisherman. I prefer perch and walleye and wiper and the occasional smallie but don't let some 'bass huggers' label all of us bass fishermen as yuppies who don't believe in keeping bass for table fare. They are actually quite good to eat.
BUT if somebody catches a trophy bass I do hate seeing it on a stringer. Other states wouldn't be so bad but Utah isn't managed as a bass fishing state so it's up to the bigguns to keep up the population.

[frown][mad][shocked]Damn meat eaters! Oh well that fish was 14 years old anyway on its last leg just like you leaky[] I hope you choke on it lol

Was that fish over 20inches? How big was it?
[signature]

I thought all bass over 12 inches had to be released.

now...I've eaten bass, and caught some flak from the last time I posted pictures of bass on a stringer, but that fish is definitely not under 12 inches. Are you aware of the size regulations?
[signature]

At Condie you have to release all bass under 20 inches and I am thinking that bass is not 20 inches. I'd just like to think that she got to spawn this spring before leaky decided to kill her when every one knows smaller bass taste much better. I guess some people don't realize taking big bass out of lakes hurts the population vs taking smaller ones.

ive been known to eat a dog or two[] throw some tonys on the mutt and yummy

In Leaky's defense the "trash fish" was 20 1/4 inches long and he has every right to eat or do whatever he wishes with the fish. If he is at a lake fishing for some dinner and the regs state that you cannot keep anything under 20 inches than what are you suppose to do? Catch a 20+ incher, throw it back and starve? Yeah right, gimme a break!!! Good on ya Leaky, most important thing is that you and the Sparkinator had a good time. You wanna go back next weekend and see if we can clean em out????[]

Only in certain lakes in UTAH do you have to release Bass over 12 inches, HOWEVER this fish was from another..........Planet.........errrrrr............State!!!

I'd like to think that a man has a right to do whatever he wants as long as he is following the rules. You've got some balls accusing him of keeping an undersize fish by looking at a picture. Why would you assume that a man 30 years or so your senior doesn't understand ecology? Apparently the Idaho fish and game disagrees with you, they want you to release all the small bass and keep the bigger ones. Go figure.

[:p] had my first LMB the other day i can say i don't blame you one bit those suckers are really tasty. I would have to agree some people here we have some people that are just too weird when it comes to the Largies but like someone else here said why in the world would you accuse this man with out even knowing where that fish was cough and what size it is. Ever heard of don't judge a book by its' cover.
