Elite series at KY lake

[bluball]

. After the tourney lots of floating bass are found. Really bad for the spawn.

now now now, you haven't been paying attention around here.
Bass tournaments NEVER kill a fish silly!!!

:rotf: :rotf:

The majority of fish that die are in the summer where there caught deep. Any tournament June-August should have a requirement to attend a class on how to fizz and tend to fish. IMO

No doubt about that.
They are hard to keep alive when you pull them up from down deep.

Fizz and weights,i keep hypodermic needles in the boat.

Bass tournaments kill as many if not more fish than anyone else. Just because they are alive when they are released does not mean they LIVE. Riding around in a livewell all day is tough on a fish, especially on a bad weather day on KY lake.

Some of the fisheries studies that have been done on tournament mortality have shown that mortality is pretty low until the water surface temps hit 70 degrees. Once it gets into the 70's, mortality shoots up.

I REALLY like the scoring system used by Major League Fishing that weighs and immediately releases the fish!

I have walked around Paris landing a few days after a big tournament and there were dead bass everywhere. It was July so hopefully it being early May, they won't kill off too many but then again they are having it during the middle of the spawn.

Just saw someone say something on facebook and thought it was odd.
The final day is on Monday?

The Monday finish is because of back-to-back weekends with Grand Lake. Gives them an extra travel/rest day.
