I was funning Chuck, but it wasn't directed at you. I like to bass fish myself. In fact I usually start my day bass fishing then switch to crappie. Back when I used to just target crappie, I would use shiners and catch more than I wanted anyway. I just like a small mess every now and again to eat or give away. I like to eat bass just as much. I will post some pictures on off topic tomorrow night showing what I'm doing with the mess I caught Thursday.
