I fish a lot of Bass tournaments and haven't heard of a bass tournament letting you keep the bass afterwards in a very long time. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen anymore but I would say I don't believe it happens that often anymore since the 60's. There isn't a law against keeping them but we tournament BASS fishermen understand the importance of catch and release to preserve the fishery. We even penalize the fisherman for poor fish care.

Well i can say it was a mad house sunday! My buddy and i managed 4 bass with one being about 3 1/2 lbs fishing a arashi crank bait. After the rudeness of almost every fisherman on tville i doubt ill ever go back.

Realize also, that most people don't eat Bass, like they do or as often as they do Crappie. Crappie are also a more prolific breeder than Bass.

Major tourneys like Crappie Masters or Crappie USA have a 7 fish limit, and all are released.

That particular tournament at Taylorsville, 4/26/14 was a "Fishing for Kosair Kids Tourney" put on by FOP Lodge #82 (Mt Washington), with a cookout & raffle following the tourney. http://www.louisville.com/louisville...pie-tournament

So, there was no 2day/300 boat fishing tournament at Taylorsville Lake.

Taylorsville Lake is beat to death with tournaments, anglers fishing it most every day, and heavy traffic from boats of all sizes/styles ... and it still continues to produce decent fish. And, oddly enough ... I'm catching bigger & healthier Crappie from the lake, now, than I have ever caught from there, and I've fished the lake since it opened !! Jus' sayin' !!

Since it was a benefit for something worth while i will admit i was wrong. Just frustrating. Next time they need to push into may and make it a green sunfish tourney.

LOL ... yeah, I'd like to see a decline in the Green Sunfish population, too !!

I know it's frustrating when you have to take a number to fish a bank or stickup, believe me. And I have to drive an hour and a half just to get there !! But, you know what ... most of the time that I've found Crappie spawning at T-ville, it's been in early May. The fish I caught last week, both Black Crappie & White Crappie, still had not spawned. This rain, raising the lake up 4+ feet, is only going to delay things a while longer ... so you still have a chance at hitting them when they do come shallow.

... luck2ya !!
