I'm gonna keep. I enjoy this website and hope to continue to do so in the future. I have a HUGE photo album in my pc, and I always take numberous pics especially after a good day. I had 4 fish in my livewell.... Needless to say we didn't pay any attention to the "markings" on the fish before taking pics.....
We didn't realize we were taking pics of the same fish.... I'm sure I've done it before and will do it again it's not hard to do when all are basically the same size, it's about like culling unmarked fish..... I done an article w/ GON a couple of years back w/ Ronnie Garrison a member here, we used the same BIG SPOT over and over again even though I had 4 other 3lb fish in my well.... I had near 20lb that dayand only used two of the fish..... Never received any hate mail asking "is that the same fish in both pics in the magazine?"
I've been posting regular on the BFHP for a couple of years now and I've seen many good informative people stop posting due to unnecessary negative criticism....... I AM NOT THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR nor do I have ANYTHING to do with the tournaments... I have nothing to gain by misleading anyone here. Just so the PETA people know all the fish were released unharmed, they were kept in a comfortable environment w/ LOTS of Rejuvenade!!! Thanks and Good Fishing to all.

What the heck is it lately ? Accusations, critisizms, put downs. Where in the post does it say that the fish in the pictures are all different? This stuff lately is un called for!

Amen flip - At the end of the day it's just...fishing. If I want to see negativity and accusations I can find that on most news channels. Fishing is supposed to be a sanctuary from all that. Lets not get too worked up over it.
This is becoming a pattern on a few recent posts...If someone is kind enough to take the time to share an informative report then lets show some gratitude and return the favor rather than scrutinizing their posts, although I was tempted to myself...emoSmile

I was no way trying to get another heated battle started. I was just trying to point out that i thought pic 2 and 4 were diffrent fish. Liveliner made his point and i let it go. Why can't other members in other topics do the same. Like David said " at the end of the day its just fishing". Who cares if its the same one. I just thought 2 and 4 were diffrent

I conceed to being the bad guy here. I stayed away from the Baylor Creek thread that was out of line in my opinion. I do not and will not start or post bashing comments. I have swapped PM's with the fishermen who posted the pics and I think that we are okay with the pics of the very nice bass. I explained to him that the markings jumped out at me and that it was in fact a little odd to post the pics in that maner. With that nice boat and his abilities to catch fish like that one, he is a credit to CFF. I asked that he will keep on posting the nice pics.

I have not gotten to fish Carter's lake since I was a kid. Has the vast amount of brush that was in the lake at one time been broken down, or is it still there?

There is still lots of Brush around..... I'm sure that some of it is gone, but there's large areas of standing timber in 4 or 5 areas on the lake and you want find a stretch of bank that doesn't have laydown tree's in the water or submerged stumps close by.......
If it's been a very long time what you wont see much of anymore is largemouth..... The Georgia DNR seems to think that there isn't enough Largemouth habitat to justify stocking..... Crazy since it used to be mainly a Largemouth lake.
