Don't get me wrong--32" are my favorite fish to keep and eat. But let's call them what they really are--they're just above schoolies. "Nice" fish start at about 20 lbs, IMO. |
Mike, remember the the old days? The proper name for a 32 inch bass is a "medium" $1.00 to $1.25 in 78'. |
Why even try.........

And that was 32" fork length 
A medium was 15 and under, am I right? The memory's starting to fade a bit. |

Forgot to mention -- today was starfish day for me. I picked up my share trying to get that last good bounce. Man, my arms ache from hauling them in - they are BIG also. 4 1/2 ounces and a 10 inch starfish feels like a 40 pounder.  |

i thought the "old days" were when fish were measured in pounds rather then inches. when you heard a guy say, 'i got a 40 last nite', you knew he meant pounds. now im not that old, but thats how i was raised...

I haven't been since the weekend so I have only been dreaming if fishing at the ditch, and the last dream I had, had NIB fighting and landing a humongous starfish, it was pulling drag too so that is weird.
Mike, no a 32" fish is not a nice bass, it's a keeper I guess, I am with you nice is 20

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
