Another Good Night of Electrofishing

We had another good night of electro fishing bass on an AGFC lake. We saw a lot of good largemouth and crappie in the water willow. Water temp was 58 degrees. I just wanted everyone to know that we practice proper "lunker" handling techniques, as outlined by the Texas Parks and Wildlife. Thanks for the reminder Nimrod. Always cradle a "lunker" by the belly when lifting it out of the water for a picture. [emoji14] http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...4466306fe6.jpg
We also saw several slabs like this.

Proper slab handling technique as outlined by D10 is to firmly (but gently) grip the slab by the lower jaw and proceed to hold long enough out of the water for a picture, so that your buddies can guess where you were sampling last night.[emoji2]

Just to be clear, I'm just funnin with you CA.

You got some scary eyes D10. Gives me the heebie jeebies :) Later in the year the bugs are gonna love you. Thanks for your hard work.

Proper way to handle Bass is with a fillet knife to feed to to the hungry .:Rofl

LOL...

Looks like fun, I wish I enjoyed my job half as much.


Nimrod, that's funny right there:biggrin

Ha ha, your are holding that future lunker as proper as a individual could, I bet that fish was SHOCKED to be handled in such a proper manner. (LOL pun intended)

Justicia americana (American Water Willow) is the aquatic vegetation that you see growing around the edge of most of the lakes here in Central Arkansas. Most people just call it grass. It is great stuff!http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...16cfd19bb1.jpg
