Basstrackerma. With all due respect you will not find a more respectful conservationist and environmental caretaker. These are very closely managed fish, and TN even adjusts the size length based on availability and recruitment in the reservoirs. This was the take from 3 people fishing for 2 days, and is less than the creel limit. I have not harvested a largemouth bass in over 15 years, have never harvested a smallmouth bass, a striper or hybrid in over 5 years, and release all of my billfish and other apex predators unharmed. I remove fishing line and trash from banks, pick up floating debris, participate in lake cleanup activities, and more. I also possess a degree in fisheries management from Auburn University, the foremost freshwater fisheries research and aquaculture instruction institution in the world. So, I just happen to know a little about what the hell I'm doing. I suggest you find another to pass judgement on.
