Now This is Exciting...

Is that a 12" size limit in Pitt?

A bit less? I'll say. I'd guess that tournament will be won with 25
pounds
or less (3 days).

weigh
a
5 fish limit for 12 lbs from what I hear.. That should be a doozy!!!

Wow, I am not saying that it isn't true, but that doesn't sound
like
Mid-Western people. Then again I really wouldn't know because I
guess
I
am
not an outsider.
That cannot be the reason though, hell they get shot at in
Louisiana
:-).

We have so many big watersheds here such as the Winnebago chain
that
can
turn out 15lb 5 fish limits , Madison chain, which I have seen turn
out
20lb
limits. And then of course you have Green Bay (Sturgeon Bay) and
that
is
a
smallmouth factory where if you don't have a 4lb average limit you
might
as
well not weigh in. It is not like we don't have the facilities to
host
a
big tournament, maybe it is just to far off the beaten path, but
that
logic
is flawed because the go to Lake St. Claire in Michigan. Really we
also
have the Mississippi river which turns out really good limits. I
think
they
let that Chicago Classic turn them off to this area. It is not my
fault
the
wind blew out of the east for 3 days at 15mph.
Oh well, it just sux that I will probably have to move south
(nothing
against moving south, I just love it up here because I have my
steelhead
fishing as well) to pursue that dream.

Mrs. Woo Daves told me they were harassed by local police and

Yup. Chris, those rivers wouldn't make the top 100 list of bass waters in
PA, and this is a very weak state in terms of quality big waters.

I agree with Warren. The Minnetonka event set some records at the time for
most limits caught. Old Irwin Jacobs probably does not want to upset his
rich neighbors on "Tonka again though. I don't think he got any grief when
he put on the Don Shelby Charity event there for several years. Pro events
are different. http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/volunteer.../tournies.html
I remember Guido fishing it a few times. Oh by the way Chris, the local
population was great according to the pros. It was the power elite that did
the harassment by proxy through the local officials. Joe Z.

I am pretty sure they base it on past experiences filling tournaments in areas.
This trail is to compete directly with BFL. The first one was held at Lake
Martin last Sunday while I was there - understand they had only 80 boats.

Man, that sux, If we had a 12" size limit here on The Winnebago system I
would pull a limit every time out :-), as would everyone :-)

Chris

Lots of folks think that, but experience shows it just don't work that way.
West Point Lake here was a 12 inch limit from the time it was built until 1983
- and we caught loads of 11 inch bass. Size was raised to 16 inches in 83 and
we landed loads of 15 inch bass. Then the size was dropped three years ago to
14 inches. Guess what? We now catch loads of 13 inch fish.
