Very nice picture Marc. I hope they didn't get bit up by the misquito's too bad, Minnesota is infested.

LOL. The rule back there is a rod in one hand, a can of OFF in the other. I spent my early years back in that part of the country. Everyone has screen porches and screen houses. Yes, the are unreal back there. I do miss watching the fire flies at night though.

I hope while he cools off Sparky will realize if some guy went up to HIS wife and said what he said, he would be ready to punch the guy out, as would all of us. Sparky won 2nd place at the BBQ/Derby and seemed like a good guy. I'm hoping he mans up and does the right thing. My In Box is waiting.

sparks is a good guy thats passionate about bass fishin. I think that everybody has there moment and when you love something you protect it no matter what it is. everyone has the right to do what they want with there legal catch weither its c and r or make a meal of it . I myself choose to c and r and pass it on to someone else. our bass fishery is a very strong but fragile thing and i hope that everyone would see how important c and r is for this fishery.

Well, I understand and appreciate your passion and his passion, because I have it for this website. But putting a fish above treating another human being with respect is about as twisted as some of the things we hear coming from PETA. Unfortunately sometimes the back and forth just gets out of control until someone crosses that line that requires action. It's really up to Sparky at this point.

I do normally catch and release unless on a certain day, I am fishing for dinner. That only occurs a couple times a year and the other day, I was craving bass. This bass was the only one I hooked in 2 hours and I needed to get home. On any other day, this fish would have been released. I am still here and will continue to come and learn what I can, and share what I can. I am very sorry I offended Sparky to the point that has caused this uproar. I have learned much from reading his past posts. I still have respect for his knowledge and passion about bass, but I will definately avoid responding to any of his comments.

Good looking fish by the way!
