I guess i was part of the last bass thinning. Same thing happening all over again. The monster bass seem to be the last to go and when there gone it will be another 15-20 years to bring them back. I remember the 80,s when i could run down to the water, catch bait, catch at least two40lbers and be home in 3 1/2-4 hrs and not seeing any small fish. I M O we need a slot fishery with a top size as well as a short size with one large fish per person over the top size that way the commercials will get there fish and the recreational guys will be able to get a trophy.
