Quarry Man Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 I was fishing a neighborhood pond today that I am allowed to fish. There is another pond connected to the stream that I now learned is private. I was walking in the woods, past the pond, in order to reach the house and ask permission, when I noticed a 3 pound bass lying dead on the ground near the pond. It looked as if someone had caught it and left it there to die. If that was done by an owner, I think its wrong, but they have a right to in a way. If it was someone else, its not cool at all. Why would someone do that. They let a nice bass go to waste. NOT COOL! Quote

Subaqua Adinterim Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 The first Not Cool post from Tuesday was bad enough, now there is a sequel LOL. Definitely not looking forward to Not Cool III 3 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 8, 2017 Global Moderator Posted May 8, 2017 I've seen them beach themselves chasing baitfish before. Maybe it was chasing a bluegill and ended up too far from the water for it to be able to flop back. Quote
CTBassin860 Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Maybe it was another that was killed by the hookset and was just left on shore instead of floating a dead fish. 2 Quote
Super User JustJames Posted May 8, 2017 Super User Posted May 8, 2017 Or someone caught and released this bass without knowing injured the bass some how. He died, bird, wind or something pull him out of water. In the past week I saw at least 4 bass dead on shoreline, beach area. Quote

Quarry Man Posted May 8, 2017 Author Posted May 8, 2017 It was definitely not beached, the bass was 15' from the bank Quote
Super User J Francho Posted May 8, 2017 Super User Posted May 8, 2017 Seems like there's bigger things to be worried about. Leave it, some animal will get it. Quote

hoosierbass07 Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 You want Not Cool? Terre Haute Gander Mountain is closing. I went to that dang store almost every weekend, particularly during the winter drying to survive till spring/summer. Not cool, sad, depressing. Quote
