Post #5 in this thread ( posted by you):
about 15 years ago before New Hampshire Fish and Game opened up Lake Winnipesaukee to virtually unlimited bass tournaments, 5 and 6 pound smallmouth bass were very common. Today bass tournament anglers get excited when they weighin 3 pound smallie. Wonder what another 15 years will do to this bass fishery?
In my post I said 4 & 5lb so I was 1 Lb under your comment.
By the way, you also mentioned that NHF&G opened up the lake to tournaments about 15 years ago. Please note;There have been tournaments on the lake dating back to the 70's. NHF&G decided to start requiring permits in the 93 // 94 time frame.
I have a couple of questions for you:
1) Are you a Bass fisherman?
2) Have you ever fished a tournament?
Additional note: As I mentioned, I have been fishing for about 50 years, and to date I have caught less than a dozen smallmouth over 5 Lbs. This class of smallmouth is definately a trophy in anyones book.
