Caught a bass with a net!

I was down at the lake this afternoon.  My mother was bluegill fishing and had one on the line, bringing it in.  There was a big bass chasing the bluegill trying to eat it.  She brought the bluegill (with the bass in tow) up near me, where I was waiting with a landing net.  Got it under him and scooped him up!   5 lbs, 1 oz.!!!!   Forgot my dang camera though, so no pictures.   That was the biggest bass I've ever "caught".  Had to pitch him back though.  Bob won't let us keep any of the big bass out of the lake.

That's really neat, BC! For me, that's a huge bass. The largest bass I ever hooked grabbed a small bluegill I had hooked, and thereby was hooked, too. It was quite a battle, and I could have netted it, if my dad had not messed around so long before getting there with the net.  The fish finally wrapped around a boat dock post and broke off.

Ol' BC - showing out again! 


That's the sign of a real Gut Pile Style fisherman.  To heck with pole, just give him the net!!!!

Pretty soon he'll have a mask and fins on chasing them around underwater!!!!

If given the opportunity, I'd go scuba fishing. I know a guy who does that in Lake Mead on a regular basis.

I wonder if it is legal to do that in Lake Michigan.. it's about the only lake around here that is clear enough to see...

Has anyone ever used a "Hawaiian sling"??
