Thread: the bait shop

Bad as I hate it , I have to agree with holic about the tube slide. It worked fine and thetank just aids in the death of what is put in it!

If anybody wants to hang around long enough to cull the fish with me, you are welcome to them. Else, I'll do as I did at TOW, took them home, cleaned them and delivered them back to the Rangers as a thank you for their help.

I thought it was decided that all fish from the Championship be given to Ree's to fillet and bring to the Fall Camp cook out.

But who is gonna teach Rees to filet one?

they use the pvc pipe at the st. jude green carp tournament, seems to work fine.

why not take the fish immediately from the scales to the lake to release them?

Why is this discussion of tournament details of a breakfast thread? Some folks who don't read every word on c.c are gonna miss it.

good point maj. its called Hijacking, something we're good at.

Acutally, the water is cooled and oxygenated and treated. The biologists seem to think that it aids in the survivability.

I had forgotten about Rees....I figure we'll check our livewells to see if anyone happened to have forgotten about an 8th fish in there to fill that ticket.....also, I'd like to deliver some fish back to the Rangers for a thank you, but I don't have to deliver them all I suppose.
