I hope some one is going fishing this 4th
(I'm not) but if you do be sure to release some, freedom is for fish to.
I think fish would be more willing to bite and put up a good fight if they knew they were going to be released.
On the bottom of my boat it says catch and release only.
I hope fish can read.


Have a good 4th everyone.

Basser, catch and release only? You are truly a great sportsman. I can only hope that the next great thing to happen is you using a fly and going after trout? But I guess it only a dream.

Trout Master. You were once a Returning Adult and now you are a smolt. What happened. :p

It's on my list. Problem is I have too many things on my list. When I do have some spare time I go fishing. I do some fly fishing out on the lawn in the winter time. funny thing is I never catch anything. although I do have every stary cat in the neborhood chassing A piece of yarn around. later

TM - We need to hook up again (no pun intended). Give me a call, since I don't have your number anymore. How's dem bass in Ballinger?? (Basser, I'm just kidding??!!! He doesn't know what a bass looks like...)

Basser,

Do you have the barbs punched down on all your treble hooked bass lures?

My version of catch and release also includes barbless hooks.

Hey! ZEN

took a dremel to them barbs( works pretty good ) on my most used lures, waiting for winter to do rest.
I have lost a couple jumpers but more my fault than no barbs.
FISH ON

Dremel works even better than pliers for removing barbs..

ok.. no more barbs from me.

I carried "catch and release" one step further this last weekend. I had lots of strikes on flies, but didn't hook hardly any of them.
