Default Discarding soft plastics in the lake

before you throw your torn up plastics in the lake, read this report

Wow, good paper (you need adobe to read it). I don't think that I'll toss them in the lake anymore. I guess it's one of those things that I've never thought of.

Good read,

I had always wondered about this very subject...and i guess thats why i just toss them in the floor of the boat and then in the trash after i return home.

I never thorw used soft plastics, or anything for that matter, in the water I fish. I like to leave it cleaner than it was when I got there.

Yep, totally...

I found this one bass one time that had a Senko stuck in its mouth. It was folded in a "U" shape so I pulled it out. I released the bass and she swam-off like nothing. Just glad I could help 'er out. She still wanted my spinnerbait though!

I caught a smallmouth once that was in the process of passing a 7 1/2" Culprit worm. It was half out when I caught it. Pretty wild. I didn't pull it out because I was concerned to harm the fish. Hopefully it passed it with no problems.

Good job, Addict!

They say never to pull out a worm, or any lure for that matter, when a fish is passing it. It messes up the insides of the fish.
