;D ;D ;D

One of the lakes my brother and I like to bass fish on gets "invaded" about once a month by a local bass boat club. We start early they don't get going till 8-9 am and not until everyone has their boat in the water.

The lake is rare for an inland lake in my area becasue it holds LMB/SMB, a few Waldos AND is deep/cold enough it has SPLAKE as well.

Best thing is it has only ONE DNR launch site with maybe 20-25 parking spots tops.

These guys all have at least 50k worth of boats, most much more and 150 hp and up motors.

When they start their tournament, they all roar down the lake in unison and you better be sitting down because the wake will knock you off your feet.

Most are cranking stereos as loud so they can hear them over the roar of the motors. :o

After 2-3 hrs they leave but it takes a few days for the water to settle and the weeds they chopped up to float to shore and piss off the homeowners.

The funniest part is that the few times we've been leaving right when their bringing bass it to be tallied, they NEVER seem to have as big a bass as we catch and were complaining that the lake was getting FISHED out. ;) ;D ;D

  They look at our little old 16 ft aluminum fishing boat with the 9.8 Merc engine that will run for DAYS on a 6 gallon tank and feel 'sorry' for us. We look at all the money they have tied up in boat/motor/trailer/electronics and more rods/reels just for bass than I have all together and just laugh.

Good thing they don't eat the bass they catch, it would be more expensive than the priciest tuna and not nearly as tasty.
