Bluegrass!!! OH MY!!!!!!

[fishNnut]

In April of last year, the DNR conducted a creel survey on Bluegrass. They did so on two separate days for a total of 3.27 hours. Although the results were better for larger fish than the 2004 survey (18"/2 fish limit enacted in 2003) and electrofishing is "spotty" in my opinion, they failed to bring a fish up larger than 20"(4.1 lb.) and 4.6 lb.(19.5"). This was out of a total 292 bass with the majority being 8-13".

haha if you are telling me there aren't big bass in there because they didn't get one during their survey, ur badly mistaken. i've caught some big ones out of there, just NEVER 18 pounds of fish in 2 fish. i know they are in there.

p.s. a 10 pounder in regency club? i used to fish there every night, and find this hard to believe. someone would have had to put it in there recently.

This is beginning to sound like some of the reports out of Garvin Park lake......that 50# catfish that keeps getting caught that no one ever sees. I guess theres a lot of night fishing going on out there.

Steve, obviously you did not read my post. I said that in my opinion, electro is spotty. I just stated the facts that are found on the creel survey. Do I believe there are big one's in there...yes, but depends on what you consider a big one. How big have you caught out of there? Do I believe that there is a good enough population of 8+ and 9+ pound fish that someone would catch this amount of fish the first week of Sept.? Everyone knows fisherman always tell the truth.

haha i didn't mean u were badly mistaken, just anyone in general who believes that. but i am with you. i always look at the creel survey but don't use it as a basis for evidence for me to fish certain lakes. i've caught 10 that i can think of this year from bluegrass and loon combined that were over 5. but my biggest was not 9 pounds, but i do believe they are in there. but they don't get that big by being stupid and getting caught.

Thats a big fish, but it looks skinny.. was it weighed? It looks like a 7lb maybe

[lroberts]

I must agree.....very nice fish...wish I would have caught it. However, that is not a nine 3/4lb fish....maybe seven as Stevens said.

This bass I caught is much closer to 9 lbs. !
