The fish now actually carry alot of weight and have been for as long as I can remember.

Last time I saw real skinny fish was during the summers on the outer cape. Caught many 48"-50" fish in the late 80's/early 90's that were only high 30# class fish. Also caught one that was 54" and weighed only 43#. The head on the fish was so big I put a 28# fish in its mouth head first and there was still room.

I have pic of my pb on the wall in my office and I wonder what it would have weighed with even a little bit more girth as its got no belly.

You hear people say "fix the bait" but I don't buy it. Bass will eat whatever is available. If its not bunker its something else and the fish aren't starving by any stretch of the imagination. All the bunker schools really do is concentrate the fish more, thus making them easier to slaughter once you find them.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
