Guntersville mid march?

If I catch an 8 pounder she will be going on the wall!

Good luck with that...though an 8 lb'er is by no means a trophy fish.

Just throw rattletraps in and around the grass and you will do fine.

Twise for you an 8 pounder may not be a trophy, but that would be the biggest fish I've ever caught. The replicas I think look pretty bad. I'm all about catch and release but one of that size or larger is going in my office.

Don't get me wrong - 8 lbs is a big fish! My personal best is 6-5. I just fear having everybody rush out and mount the biggest bass they catch...I know there have been a few posts on this forum about keeping bass vs. releasing them (and I DON'T want to open that can of worms again!) but even the locals down there are fed up with people catching a "trophy" bass and taking it out of the lake. Believe it or not, Guntersville is on a decline in regards to the "quality" of bass fishing. Many of the guides down there are really concerned about the status of the lake.

Absolutely....you just don't catch the number of 8-10 pound fish down there anymore. To many out of staters going down and keeping fish. Throw them back and let them reproduce. I look forward to my trip down there every year, but I turn my fish loose even if it would be 10 pounds. i'll take a few pics and watch her swim away.
