Still The Same!!
The guys that Clamdigger mentioned Ray J,John Martini, Gary Corsetti,And a host of others Still catch just as many fish as you see in those pictures and still bring in many 40 lb Plus bass!!!
So Much for the theary of no more big fish!! John Martini Caught a a bass last season that weighed somewhere around 55lbs.
The fish are still there,you just need to know where and when to go.
I personally see no shortage at all.Last season I caught fish on just about every trip I made and got my share of 30lb fish and had a 42lb fish.Same as every single other year!
People in general should stop whinning that there are no fish and LEARN how to catch the multitudes of bass that are there!! When a guy does nothing but cast jigs and plugs in the daytime and then complains he isnt catching big fish,He needs to restructure his fishing habits!!
In the eighties when I started serious bass fishing I caught just as many fish as I do now and when I look back, It was not much different.Those old timers who tell you they had nothing but 40lbers every night (off the shore) are wrong.Its the same as now,there were good nights and bad nights,It still comes down to skill and learning the tides and winds and strutures,It takes years.Back then a good night was a few fish in the 20s,Just as it is now.One ,just one fish in the 30s is a good night.You either get caught up in the schoolie bug and counting numbers or, you hunt the big game.You learn what turns the big chicks on and you go get um!!
Everey year all thru the 90s I caught on average 12 to 15 fish in the 30 lb range.Just two years ago,Joe flip and I had a night on Block Island were between the two of us we had 37 fish of 25lbs and better!! Is that the old days?? No its the here and now! There out in the water as they have always been.Fish for them the right way and you will see things have not changed all that much only minds have changed.
Everyone wants to save the bass,They have been here for eons long before any of us and will carry on long after we are all gone...Bank on it!!
Go Eat some Bass!!!!!!!!!!!!1
