I went on one of these trips last year. It was great! You learn a lot and make memories. I attribute a lot of my success this year to that trip and this SUF School. I would love to go on another trip, and I want to see someone else go. Stop at "On The Grind" coffee shop if you go to Belton, SC.

I don’t want to clean nothing either. LOL. I keep fish once in a blue moon. My dad used to keep a lot. I used to help him clean em. Now, I clean them once in a while. :-) Thanks for showing the difference.

Today, I had a tournament on a pond/lake that is overpopulated with fish. It is great for taking kids to catch fish. However, it stinks to catch bigger fish. The article emphasizes the importance of harvesting bass in small waters like ponds to maintain a healthy fish population. In small ponds, bass can quickly overpopulate, leading to stunted growth and an unbalanced ecosystem. Regularly removing smaller bass helps ensure enough food for the remaining fish, promoting the growth of larger, healthier bass. In small ponds, however, harvesting 15 to 35 pounds of bass per acre per year is often recommended to prevent overcrowding and support a balanced fishery 1.
