I 100% disagree with that. I live in one of the "Mecca" areas of bass fishing now and I would take Oregon back in a heartbeat. The bass being non-native, living in deep water, and handed trout every six weeks most people there just don't know how to fish for them once they are over 2lbs. It also has minimal pressure outside of Tenmile and compared to a real bass lake Tenmile has minimal pressure. In Oregon if there are fifty boats are on a lake fourty of them won't be fishing for bass. Oregon is an absolute gem if you aren't a bank beater. Quote

Lived there for 60 years and have loved the state and still do. But enjoy the attitudes of fishermen out east towards their fishery's much more. Columbia river was my favorite river for smallies....and last I heard they were managed very poorly. Tenmile was awesome yes.....Siltcoos I hear is coming back...awesome. Tack was a gem.....Green Peter was amazing once...These waters are all so small compared to waters I now fish...so it's each to their own....sincerely glad you enjoy those fisheries....I'm thankful for these new amazing adventures.

Does anybody know how big the males are that they use, and where they come from? Past genetic research focused mainly on the female but the ShareLunker program is showing the equally important role of the male's genetics. 2014 Nacogdoches Texas, a lake record of 12.54 lbs was caught on Lake Naconiche; genetic research showed some interesting facts. The mother was ShareLunker #370; 14.28 lbs from Falcon Lake. The grandmother was ShareLunker #187; 14.05 lbs from Lake Fork. The great-grandmother was ShareLunker #9; 16.13 lbs from Gibbons Creek. Plus ShareLunker #305; 14.67 lbs from Lake Fork. All 5 were from the same father; an almost 8 lb male. On 3/5/2018 at 11:28 AM, S.

SWVABass Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 @Catt did I read that correctly that all females were bred back to the same male? How was this done? Not questioning your info but are they using a.i. Or spawning I guess? The time frame needed for those 5 females to grow one bucks life span went that long? 1 Quote

All 5 females are offspring of the same male! ShareLunker #9 was caught in 1988, the program started in 1987 1 Quote

That throws the perspective off & in my opinion, messes up the image. There really is no need to push a 15 lb bass closer to the camera & away from you, it is awesome enough with the correct perspective. But it is his lunker, he can do with it as he pleases... Exactly. It's my opinion that a photograph is quite possibly the worst evidence you can present for documenting the size or weight of a catch. That's what verified witnesses are for. A photograph is a moment in time, to capture the excitement and the beauty of a lifetime catch. Go ahead and long arm it all you want. Quote
All about da bass Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 His hands are as big as his face and his elbows are just slightly bent... He's definitely straight arming. That's what I do when I only catch a few two pounders on a rough day. 1 Quote
lo n slo Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 i just threw all my tackle off the hwy 150 bridge ? Quote
