On the bottom.....

Again, how are you determining whether or not any of the fish in the lake have spawned? What kind of research have you undergone to determine that not one smallmouth in the entire lake has spawned yet?

That is impressive. How deep were they?

Ok professor. Pre spawn fish are not spawning fish. Post spawn could be argued but since zero have spawned that is moot. About the rest of your post? I haven’t put anyone down unless recommending them to research their thoughts before...

I loss my daughter in law six years ago on March 15th. I loss my son one moth later, April 15th. Wasn’t and isn’t easy. My wife and I are raising his son, now 18 and 23. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of them. All we can do is take one day...

And by the way, ive seen some giant smallmouth on the nest for 2 weeks now, and no i wont say where lol

The fact that you can't even construct a sentence in English correctly makes me question your self-proclaimed superior intellect. Just to be clear; you are claiming that this thread was started on a "false premise" simply because you don't...

So the daily on the water flw report was a lie? Because their reading raunbow clearly stated the top producers were targeting spawning amd staging smallmouth. That is the very reason there is such an uproar, their words, not anyone elses.

Not a single “spawning smallmouth” were caught during this tournament. How do I know this? Because they are still not spawning. This thread was a rant about tournaments off a false premise. Seems like there is a lot of that these days. Also...

Clearly we have very different views on this subject, it doesnt make me right, or you right. You wont, cant never will change my point of view , ive been shaping this point of view for well over a half century. I dont know you, dont care to and...

US Fish & Wildlife banned tournament fishing from refuge waters back in 2001. Does anyone here really think that was done just for the helluvit or do you think they did so to protect those fisheries? Come on guys, we all know tournament fishing...

Clearly you have done YOUR research. Yep, that’s sarcasm bud.

It is hard to argue with the pro-tournament crowd. In the end it is all about money vs the fishery and we all know what tournaments are about. I agree with you that dropping the size limit as a special exemption for a tournament during the spawn...

Look up the FLW results from a week ago. Took 70 pounds of smallmouth to win.You ll find all the fishing information you need on their tournament site. Good luck Rich

No! I had a Custom Shop 58 Historic Les Paul but have since sold it.

4 more weeks. I hope it warms up. And I hope everyone is ready. It can't get here fast enough.

So sorry for your families loss. it's funny how kids see things sometimes.

Unfortunately i have shot a couple deer that were "released" I do see your point about sample sized being greater in larger tournaments

They don't release the deer after they shoot them that's the problem im guessing. I don't know what other tournaments they used for the study there might be a high school tournament involved also but they do exemptions anyway for HS and youth...

i guess thats where the problem lies with me, why only the large tournaments?? would you be in favor of tv hunting shows being allowed to come to kentucky and shoot an extra buck? i mean if we are talking exposure and state revenue production there...

Of course I dont see a problem with it. Dont get me wrong I don't think they should lower the size limit in every little tournament. But Im all for it in larger regional tournaments that bring in alot of money and exposure. And as a requirement you...

So sorry for you and your family's loss

And again, i mean that with the utmost amount of respect lol

So of course you are in favor of lower size limits (only for tournemt competitors) because you actually have asked for them in years past....your words (i used to talk to marcy and kdfwr) I personally think THAT is the dumbest comment on the whole...

They didnt decide to do the study just because flw pros werent happy last year. Like I said before KY fish and wildlife has waived size limits before in youth tournaments there years ago. I used to talk to Marcy and the fish and wildlife about...

OK, here.. https://www.flwfishing.com/news/2018-04-13-size-limit-lifted-at-cumberland “Tournaments are good for the area, and we get several requests for lower size limits,” she continues. “But we don’t have any information on how the lower size...

Research what?

3.7 feet over summer pool . They are catching them up close using red cranks or other crawdad baits ,,, wanna have some red or orange pattern in your bait color Big question? Do you have a 58 Les Paul?

Sorry for your loss, that's unimaginable!

Anyone have current conditions/water temp for Cedar?? Are they locked up on the beds yet?

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. As difficult as that was to even read, I am able to see the humor in their innocence. Prayers set for blessings and comfort through this difficult time!!!

And so far without ANY specific data or links to said information your post is identixal to all the other posts/replies. And maybe its a "joke" to you....and once again that is YOUR opinion. Have a great day

Not to be smart but ALMOST everywhere on the internet you can find out the facts. I do question where some who I use to follow closely gets their info! Geo, you should really research this a bit more. This thread is a joke, full of...

Wow sorry for your lose!

Looks like the mounds lot at Brookville lake probably a first time boater

They "WERE" going to have a Crappie USA tourney there this weekend, but postponed it until June (due to high water).
