i just moved to iowa not to long ago, and i found of pretty good canal i fish alot, the first couples times i fished there and caught about 15 largemouhts inlcuding a 4 and a 4.5 pounder, so one day im heading to the canal and i pass a guy and his kid with a stringer of about 12 bass, since then i have only caught about 5 fish out of there

just wondering if this has ever happened to any of you

theres nothing you can really do. i hate seeing that too. i used to work in a state park and one time i saw about a 12 year old punk carring around about a 5 lb. largemouth that he caught. i almost went up and knocked it out of his hand.

I have to always remember that other folks have just as much right to the water as I do... even jet skies LOL....Live and Let Live...The less I let people,places & things bother me the better day I have... And ,so far, that way of thinking has kept me out of jail more than once...Thanks Al Lakes

Yeah, unfortunately thats the facts of life. Even though down here a good gut knife and a alligator infested lake do help.

But when you take a begginer out and you catch that many bass and he catches just 2 or 3 it kinda makes you feel sorry for the kid..................... That works two ways........
