Lake Martin Fishing Nation,
I kept my mouth shut about this, because I hate to see a feud between stripe and bass fishermen, i.e., what's the point, don't we all like to fish? What bass fishermen need to realize is that many of us, including me, grew up bass fishing in ponds and lakes and have graduated to bigger fish. I have caught many big largemouths and a few big spots. I admire the skill that it takes to catch good spots and largemouths, but some of us have spent some time on the Gulf and elsewhere, and we enjoy catching BIG fish. The closest thing around here to catching big fish on the Gulf is catching stripes in our 44,000 acre pond. At the same time, spot and largemouth fishermen are chasing what's natural in our waters, and us striper fishermen need to understand and honor that pursuit. So, there's no feud to be had. Why downgrade my fish of choice? I'll not downgrade yours, catching big spots is a worthwhile pursuit. Hopefully, we can all be friends and recognize our differences.
Tight Lines!
Wes
