Leave the bass alone. I took my grandkids up there off Walnut creek and we caught thirty yellow, white perch, four Walleyes twenty rockies and at least sixty smallmouths. Tthrew the bass back in , but my granddaughter got two citation size. She is on the PA F&G Website. I’m not looking right now, but I think it was 25” or better. She kept yelling “Brucie, help me with this!” I told her bring it in or you lose the honor and you’ll be ashamed of yourself. Never saw a teenage girl so proud.
Wow, sounds like your freezer’s full. Man, I gotta get up there.
BTW, I’m not much of a fisherman (but I like to fish when the fishin’s easy)... So, what’s the thing about bass? Are they endangered or something?
