It would appear that ebsmith would be better served in this world as a toolbox. I'll be up the weekend of the 9th. I plan to enjoy every smallmouth I catch. Then return each unharmed to be enjoyed by another. I don't understand some folks up there. You live in what I call paradise. Yet all I hear(not from everybody, just a select few) is nothing but bitchin about native Americans or the lack of walleyes. When I Read this forum, It would appear that the walleye fishin is doin' fine. Cry me a river.."I caught too many bass"...rediculous. Try out the rat race in Illinois. Then whine about too many smallmouth bass. I think a swift kick in the marbles might be in order.(not really, take it easy)
