    Timmy, everyone is entitled to their feelings.

    The kid sounds like a class act. He completely accepts it with humility.

    I don’t get why a guy from IA would get upset because a guy from ID broke a law fishing a WI and MN event???? Is it really affecting you that much?

    Yes! it is. I would love to see a BASS elite tourney in MN. MN has an awesome fishery and should be promoted and shown to the nation. Bass fishing is huge and growing every day, it is a huge revenue maker for the state, city, and local businesses. Something every state should WANT.

    I’m sure we will see an apology about this in the next few days just like the last time this kid ran his mouth.

    Kevin,
    Since you clearly took the time to google my name and location to come up with my address and send me a private message threatening to stop by my house on your way up north next week, why don’t you also take the time to post that message on your thread so everyone can see the real you.

    Hey Josh,

    Did I miss the post where you told about the picture of that giant eye in your avatar? If so, please point me to it. If not, please share along with a bigger pic.

    I’ve never fished a tournament, but I believe no culling adds much more strategy and having faith in your skills to to target big fish, not just catch as many as possible and sort them out. I believe the guy that can do very well in a no cull situation is a better fishermen. I would hate to see the state to allow culling, especially to non-tournament fishing, as I believe we would see alot of floaters. I Realize bass fisherman rarely keep a fish, but the law needs to stay consistent for all species.

    Guessing out loud here, but I doubt they’ll come back to the upper midwest again(hoping I’m wrong). Lots of the guys fishing this tourney have already said they wouldn’t want to come back. I can’t say that I blame them.

    Nothing like pissing away millions of dollars in tourism over a stupid outdated rule.

    Hi kooty

    There is not an previous post about that fish so here it is. I caught this eye in April 2012 on p4 on an orange blade using my late grandfather’s favorite fishing rod making it that much more special. I did not take the time to get a length or weight, definitely a pb though. The rest of the night my buddy absolutely schooled me.

    The law is asinine. The very least MN should do is allow tourneys to purchase a permit.

    You can’t convince me that people keeping a limit for the table will cull that often.

    Whoever came up with this law probably looks longingly at his fish instead of smiling for the camera.

    Careful showing a fish like that or we’ll see a thread about Minnesota hording all the nice fish and preventing them from washing down to Iowa for their tournament angler to cull.

    Stupid Law and if the Enforcement Officials ever really watched you would find law breakers among many fishermen statewide.

    Where this law catches these guys on the river is being the River, you have a limit of 5-Bass as opposed to Minnesota “Inland” Waters where the limit is 6-Bass. This is due to Wisconsin’s 5-Bass limit.

    In Minnesota, Most ALL Tournaments are listed as a 5-Bass Limit, thus you can catch and throw back a smaller fish for a larger fish because you never exceed the 5-Bass limit.

    Once in Minnesota you put the 6-fish in possession, you’re done for the day.

    I believe Wisconsin just got rid of the No Culling rule a couple years ago. The history of this date to Pre-Livewell days in boats when people would fill a stringer with fish and catch a bigger fish, pull one off the stringer and replace it, whether dead or alive. With current livewell technology, it make this law obsolete.

    Sadly, it ruins a great weekend and his year for a pretty good Tournament angler.

    You post up an attack on me and then get threatened when I say I will stop by and talk to you about it? That IS the real me, if you attack me openly don’t get scared when I say I will come talk to you about it.

    You really want me to post your address on here?

    I am curious, did this fisherman receive a ticket from the MN DNR? If he is in violation of the law should he not be ticketed?

    I’m a MN tournament bass fisherman and to be honest I had never heard of this rule. I’ve fished major circuits all around MN and we have culled in every one of them. I’m just confused right now

    They should all be like major league fishing. More exciting, at least for TV viewing.

    Adam,

    Read my post above: #1258862 – 06/22/13 03:21 PM

    MN Inland is a 6-Bass limit, thus Tournaments have a 5-Bass Limit. As Long as you don’t keep 6-Bass in your livewell, thus in your possession, you can keep fishing.
    The limit on the river is 5, thus when he caught his 6th in MN Waters, he was over the limit.

    This is the way it has been explain or at least how I’ve understood it as BASS events/tournaments.

    Once you place you max limit fish in the livewell, you must stop fishing.

    He must have missed the rules meeting.

    Personally I don’t agree with the law. I also feel he should know the laws.

    I don’t recall the young ladies name that was dqed last year, as I don’t follow tournies much…but even I heard about that one.

    Know the rules before playing the game. No tears here.


    He knew the rules. I think he got caught up in the moment and lost track of what side of the imaginary line he was on.
