Was gonna take the day off and then read Ocktane's report. Sitting there looking at that picture of his buddy with that largemouth made me want to go fishing, again... I know, what are ya gonna do about it!
Talked the wife into going to Spanaway. She said no, initially, and then I said that we would do some top water action and then she jumped up raring to go, lol.
Caught 6 or 7, I think. All little guys but almost all of them on poppers, so it was fun. Also caught 3 or 4 rock bass on poppers. She beat me out with the biggest (pictured) and the most. Of the fish we caught, two were small mouth but little, like 10-12". They were both caught on a green pumpkin tube.
Talked to a home owner there that said there was a guy fishing out front of his dock everyday, a while back, and he kept every bass he caught. Some days he caught multiple large fish, big ol basses and kept every one of them.
Then one day there was a bass boat out there with two bass dudes in it looking for the guy, lol. Wanted to have a little chat with him. Then, the guy showed up when that other boat was not there and the home owner told me that he went down and had a talk to the guy and told him that keeping all those big bass was wrong and he needs to quit doing it. The guy said that he was feeding homeless people with them, haha, yeah right.
Anyway, the guy has not been back, but, according to the home owner, the guy made a pretty big dent in the big fish population in the south end of the lake. But, imo, it will be fine, there are plenty of big fish to go around. It just kind of sucks that people kill these big old spawners just because it is legal (well, not multiple big ones). A picture and a scale equals killing a fish and showing it off.
I'm just ranting, tight lines everybody!!!
