Location: Madtown, WI | what were the sizes of the fish?? Just curious. Heard the fish down there are burning out early so not a lot of fish over 40 inches...not sure if that is true.
But sounds like there are at least some decent numbers!
Congrats on the high number of fish caught.

Location: Lebanon,Mo | that is true on our burning out of fish. big fish of the tourn. i believe was just a 42 or 43!!! i have not heard of a fish out of pomme being larger than a 49 that was caught a LONG time ago!! lots of small fish here,but big ones dont come here very often!!! there life span here is very short for some reason!! we have a 900 acre lake just an hour from pomme that has produced a 49 and has only been stocked since 96,so you do the math!!! pomme started stocking in the 60's and hasnt produced big fish??!!! |

| I'm not trying to stir up any trouble, but I saw a boat handle a nice musky very poorly. For one thing, it was out of the water on the deck of the boat way too long, like 5 minutes. They then hung it with a boga grip to weigh and take a picture. The fish then went back on the deck for more pictures, then was flopped in the water and worked for less than a minute. I waited around for awhile, after they left, to see if the fish came up and needed more help. Never saw it, so I hope it made it.
IMO....you're not going to have big fish if guys continue to treat them so carelessly.... |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | OK, we got it, someone needs a bit of help with CPR technique. I'm betting that wasn't the norm during the tournament, am I right? |

Location: Lebanon,Mo | yes the max outboard is 40hp,but alot of guys buy cheap little v bottoms with trolling motors to use on the lake or sell there big boat (like i did) and buy something to use there and everywhere!!! my 16.5ft lund rebel does awesome on the other lakes and still gets me on fellows!!! |

Location: Lebanon,Mo | and im not for sure "who" treated the fish in that manner!! i cant see one of the tournament guys doing it,but some of the these guys would be too excited(no names to speak of) and probably never caught one before in a tournament and got "fever" is all i can say!!! and "some " of the bass fisherman down here get ticked off when they hook one and pretty much want to kill the fish!! theres been more than one time that i pulled up to spot and a musky laying belly up from "bass" people,but i was able to revive the fish and take off!!! (kinda makes you feel good inside,if you get my drift!!) |
