That is still a nice fish, though.

How much did that thing weigh?

Shoal Bass. I have seen pictures of what looked like smallmouth from the Hooch, although I have never caught one from there. They are not native, i know that for
sure. Good fish.

I haven't been on here in a while and just saw this. I hate to hear about things like this. You had a good attitude about it. It is a wonder this
has never happened to me. I leave my wallet and all...

Congrats. You and I live and fish in the same neck of the woods, and I know how rare it is to have that kind of day in this area. I fish a lot during the summer and I have never come close to...

That is one nice catfish. I like catching bass more, but I have always thougt catfish are underated. It is a different kind of fight than bass, but a tough fight for sure.

Fishing toward the bank is more of a lake thing, although I have caught trout up under cutouts in banks in creeks and rivers. Doesn't usually work that way with bass in rivers. It took me awhile to...

Yeah, I understand that, too. Spots really do take over. Lake Blue Ridge is another example. It used to be a great place for Smallmouth, but the spots have ruined that. Even the DNR wants you to...

I can second that. I'll bet some of the people who keep Shoal Bass don'teven realize how few places they are found. You are right, 3 pounds is a big one up here.

I agree with a lot of what has been said here. It is irresponsible to keep a stringer full of bass. Crappie, Bream, catfish and trout are all better eating and there should be stricter limits even...

Finally, a catagory I can compete in!

I have to admit that I had never heard of a Shadow Bass. I looked it up and it said it was a cousin of a Rock Bass and I see the resemblence. I catch a few Rock Bass once in awhile. They are a lot of...

Ya'll would really like the Redeyes in some of these North Ga. streams. They have a lot of markings on them. I guess it is the cold water.

I fish someting that looks a lot like that, but not made by that company. They work good in the streams around here. I heard about a year ago that they were working on Buck SHoals, but
haven't heard...

I have seen those things while bass fishing, but never caught one. I would like to sometime. Is there anything that doesn't cost a lot that they would hit? I just hate the idea of tossing expensivie...

I have heard that from several different people. You are right, that is not good. Shoal Bass are found i n so few places. I think smallmouth would hurt them a lot worse than, say, spots, because...

Smallies are great. There are not many places to catch them in Ga, but there are quite a few in North Carolina. I am not an expert, but I think Shoal Bass are even better fighters than smallmouth...

They are right. The traffic is awful, but I was assuming you didn't want to live right in Atlanta. Anyway, good luck to you whatever you decide to do. I still say I would like to try some of those...

I grew up about 20 minutes north of Canton and, you are right, that would be a good choice for you. Lake Alatoona is right there, Lake Lanier not far. The Etowah river runs through the middle of the...

You would love Shoal Bass. If they got as big as LM, they would be scary. Meanest of them all.

Shoal Bass, then Redeyes, then Smallmouth.

Is the weird one not a Warmouth? He reminds me of a Rockbass, but I don't think ya'll have them down that far. I have heard Warmouth resemble them. I may be completely wrong. Sounds like a fun...

I have fished the Little T and The Tuckaseegee before. The Little T. more. I live in North Ga. and I try to fish NC for smallmouth at least once per summer. I had read something about the French...
