thanking about heading up one day this weekend. just wondering how the bass fishing was.

Everything I've heard lately hasn't been very good. Post-spawn blues. Now bluegill....

Caught this today on guist creek on a yamamato worm
So I don't think the biting is too bad caught 4 other smaller ones but released them this was enough

It just burns me up that people like you are keeping bass like that to eat. First of all they aren't even that good to eat and second if you are that hard up for fish shoot me an email and I will glad to buy you some at Kroger. My goodness people, then people wonder why they go to Guist or Cedar Creek and can't catch any big ones bc idiots are putting them in there freezer. Joke

I never chime in on these but your comment set me off for some reason. First of all, the joke is on you for writing such a comment. The only idiot is you. The man said he kept one fish and threw the rest back. You should applaud him for only keeping one fish. Secondly, it was his biggest fish and he was proud of it. My two biggest bass are on my wall and I didn't even get to eat them. Ive caught nice bass since then and wouldn't do it again but I was proud when I caught them bass. Each man to his own and if someone wants to keep a BIG fish now and then that's his right. In the meantime, quit being jealous of the guy and keep comments like this to yourself.

Nice fish and thanks for the update. Fished for hybrids there on Sat without any luck. Switched to bass and caught one dink. I caught a 5.4 out of there about 3 years ago and hung on her my wall. I love that lake and there are some nice fish. But that lake can hurt your pride in a hurry as well. Always an adventure and never know when one of them big hybrids is going to hit your line.

If every bass is thrown back after catching even the wall hangers then eventually your lake or lakes will become over populated and no trophys will arise simple ya take away small fish that compete with big fish for food and your big ones will get bigger thats why i love putting dents in crappie and shell cracker and bluegill populations on a lake i fish i take hand size and a little bigger and leave the brutes alone so that they may eventualy become a state record plus i read a artical on crappie and gills saying that if you dont have atleast a 25 acre lake in 10 years they will over populate and u wont catch any good ones or have a decent spawn so i saw jerk yhe little terds out and stock in a creek or river a lake without a creek or spring into it is a finite resource as were a river or stream is as close to infinite as you can get when floods happen they bring new fish new bait and clean in a lake when a flood happens all it does is raise up no new food source (permanent) so its safe to say if your gonna cry about loosing a 5 lb bass out of lake dont in kentucky they are almost to old to breed anyways

But on a note agreeing with the guy who went off the ones this size do taste horrible and the fillet falls apart but them 12 to 16 inches in largemouth or ky bass are amazing but i wont eat a small mouth the meat is to squishy feeling

Man your logic doesn't fit with this scenario at all. The guy threw back the smaller fish and kept the largest one he caught. And where do you get the idea that a 5lb bass is too old to breed? That fish, was probably no more than 7 years old, LM in KY have a much longer life span than just 7 years and that fish had many more egg laying years ahead of her, have you not seen LM on the nest before? most of the ones I see on the beds in the spring are well over 5lbs!! The KY State record was almost 14lbs and was probably close to 20 years old. I don't disagree that selective harvest can be a good thing, but this is just silly. Besides, after looking at that fish, it would be lucky to hit 4lbs.

I understand that i think i got it backwards as i was half asleep but harcesting the small bass is a better idea but also why would therr be 12-16 inch protective slot limits their eggs seem to be the healthiest of the bunch i think and stand a better chance of surviving think of it this way a bass 5 lbs and up is kinda like a woman befor menopause some eggs survive but more die due to being inadequate than a fish that is 2 years old (12inches) granted they dont lay as many as a 5 lb sow would but keeping 1 bass that size wont hurt anything unless its a lake thats in dire straights and guist dont seem to be i do preety good down there for crappie bass and big gills from the bank by the bridge

I don't think a person keeping 1 **** bass is going to hurt the bass population in the lake. I am sure the fish and wildlife would not leave the size limit 12" if bass were low. It is also his legal right to do so. He could have kept them all and I do see an issue with that but he did not. I am sorry that they guy called you an idiot but all fisherman around here are not like that. He probably is one of those fisherman that thinks if you don't fish for bass that you should not be on the lake. it is sad the way some people are these days.

You guys that are jumping all over this guy are the idiots! He kept one fish in which he was perfectly within the law in doing so. There are limits on these fish for a reason. So ppl can keep a select amount of them to eat without hurting the population. I don't keep bass unless it's a spot and I have a mess of crappie to go with it. In my opinion crappie and catfish just taste better. If this guy kept this fish and said it was his biggest bass of his life and he was mounting it you guys would've been celebrating with him but since he decided to not waste it by mounting it like some of you idiots do he actually benefited from it and ate it. Stop acting like people keeping a bass here and there is going to destroy our bass population.
