Aldo Rosado Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I am a retired Professional Bass Angler. I won three tournaments in a row before an accident to my right shoulder ended my career, but not before I landed 100 Lunker Bass in 12 years in the State of Georgia. I also caught two 14 and 14.1 Hogs in Georgia one year apart. What really makes my skin crawl is too see Bass Anglers fishing bass beds out of desperation to get a big Bass or just make it easy for them, well, in my book nothing is easy. You want to catch Bass then you have to learn how and learn Bass such as I did and set records no Angler in the world can touch no time soon. I will never reveal my secret because too many people would take advantage of it and wipe out lakes and ponds. Bass bed fishing should banned. and Anglers should be fine if caught fishing beds. That is my opinion. None of my 100 10 lb. Bass caught ever came from Bass beds that's a fact,. 1

Bob C Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 That's why I wear a blindfold when deer hunting. To see them is an act of desperation and laziness. 13
Super User Catt Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 How y'all are! While I appreciate your opinion, it is just that, your opinion! I have worked with, been around, and studied the research of some of the top fisheries biologist in the world and they all disagree with your opinion. I suggest you do some research into the Toyota Share A Lunker program and the research do by Clarence Bowling. Thank you! Have a nice day! 5
Super User fishinfiend Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 lol pathetic self aggrandizer Must have injured shoulder from hoisting all them hawgs. Good thing that injury took you out in your prime so the rest of us stand a chance to compete lol 8

Super User A-Jay Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ Interesting first post. btw - have you ever fished Victory Pond at Fort Benning ? A-Jay 2
Super User K_Mac Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 Aldo that is quite a first post. You may be the best bass fisherman no one has ever heard of...or not. Your shoulder may be damaged, but your ego is certainly unharmed. Maybe you're just trolling...only time will tell. As far sight fishing is concerned, some feel strongly on both sides of the issue. Tournament fishing in general is a source of stress to many anglers and fish. We have discussed these things here many times. If you have something to add to the conversation, we welcome your thoughts; if you just want to tell us how good you are and stir the pot, not so much. 9

Super User J Francho Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 Professional bass fishing is ruining the lakes. It should be banned. Imagine that for a 1st post! Same difference. Let's keep it toned down, and see where this goes. 3

stkbassn Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Congrats on your success but from a pro's standpoint if that's where the majority of fish are at the time and they need to make money to stay afloat so to speak then I don't see any problem with catching the fish where they are. A moral victory won't pay the bills when the champ is at the podium accepting his big check at the end of the tourney. As for me, as little as I get to fish compared to a lot of folks I am going to catch as many fish as I can while I'm out. If they're on the beds that makes it much easier to do for an amateur like me. So you can call me weak if you want, I have zero shame!
Super User buzzed bait Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 i see a lot of bass on the beds here in Middle GA around september ..... just interesting timing on the first post. aldo, curious of the 100+ lunkers you've caught, how many came from ponds vs the lakes/reservoirs in GA? 1
Super User WRB Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 I can appreciate Aldo's passion to protect big bass during the spawn cycle when the females are vulnerable to being caught off or near beds. Having gone through a similar learning experience and watching stringers of giant bass floating like volley balls belly up after being caught by live bait anglers, I spent about 30 years advocating no live bait during the spawn period. Over harvesting big bass from small lakes has a negative impact on the big bass populations, larger size lakes with a higher big bass population the impact is less dramatic. After banging my head against a wall of naysayers I finally stopped trying to influence other bass anglers. Today more bass anglers practice catch & release more then they have every done before and that helps if the big bass are handled properly and released heathy. Aldo settle down and smell the roses, life is to short. Tom 1

Super User Raul Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 So what spawned this thread? It's almost October. Have you been mad since March but couldn't find the time to post? He´s been busy fishing for bedding bass ya know, how you imagine he got all those looonkers he´s bragging about ?
desmobob Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I swear, I've checked the calendar three times to make sure it wasn't April 1st. Tight lines, Bob 1
Preytorien Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I'll have to follow this for sure. While I don't personally advocate bed fishing, I don't see the point of bashing those who bed-fish. If your argument is that catching bedding fish hurts population, then so does catching a fish at any other time of the year since most fish will participate in the spawn in spring. That lunker you caught and died in August, guess what, she'll spawn in May, that nice one you caught in early November, he'll fertilize some sexy female's eggs in May and have kids. ANY fish dead can hurt the population. Practice ethical and sensible C&R and good populations will be sustainable. 1
