snatcher....lost your virginity using poppers??????

 

didn't know you were that way inclined

Blackvelvet, why did you keep the Bass? Bass over 5lb are females.We need them for breeding.

[keith 405]

what happens to the males after 5lb????

[Happy Dude]

hi keith,

 

most fish are sexually anamorphic (think thats the right term)

 

females are larger than males, so the male fish stop at a certain weight eg congers, males top out at 15-20lb, common skate, males top out at 140lb females 400+ etc.

 

BTW do you still want gordons KIS rod case??

[gonefishing]

isn't it that males are the rarer of the sex's?

 

afaik most of the bass that i've taken have been females.

 

You need both for breeding

hi keith, congratulations on your first bass. i used to catch a few from the shore and small boat using crab.i started to catch bigger ones, and much more frequently, when i started lure fishing for them.i found a small red gill eel, on a 2m trace,with a light lead,very effective.just whang it out, and vary the retrieve speed, until you find what works.best of luck mate!
