Jeff and I fished a Barry County canal today hoping for some early season crappie. None were to be found but I did catch my first 2020 fish, a master angler bass that measured(as near as we could tell) 21 1/2" Didn't have a tape so we used my rod to measure. Only fish we caught. She bit a slider on a jig 18" under a bobber and Jeff nearly fell in the lake making room so I could beach her.Attachment 368900Attachment 368901Attachment 368902
Congratulations on getting that first one of the year!
Carpenter without a tape measure....never woulda guessed it.

Congratulations
That's a good one.
That is a beast of a bass. Nicely done.
The canals have been a hot spot lately, for anglers...
The fish haven't gotten the memo yet.

Yeah, I probably need to keep a tape on my belt. Not just for measuring fish but to keep my 6 foot "social separation". My truck is only 5 feet wide so Jeff has to ride in the back if we go anywhere.
That’s a good one!!
American bills are 6.00””.
You can always slap a dollar out to measure with.
However your solution was more along my thinking.

I should have locked the wheels on that chair. He darn near dumped me on the take off!
After 7 years you'd think I'd have the throttle whip on that Chevy figured out!!!

That made me laugh. Good Job.
Sent an email to the DNR law enforcement asking since the launches were open could we pull a boat to the launches without causing an issue...received this reply..."Recreating is an open option and fishing is allowed. Any activity pertaining to such has not be restricted but following the social distancing is what needs to take place."...everyone stay safe.

Vbottom,
You want to have some fun, go over to MS forums, and read some of the threads over there.
Straight from the Executive Order:
7. Exceptions.
(a) Individuals may leave their home or place of residence, and travel as necessary:
(1) To engage in outdoor activity, including walking, hiking, running, cycling, or any other recreational activity consistent with remaining at least six feet from people from outside the individual’s household.
If you care to read the whole Executive Order it can be found here.

From the DNR Web page as of this morning.
I highlighted & underlined the part that has stipulations.
State Parks, Trails, Boating Launches, State Forests And Other State-Managed Public Land
State parks, recreation areas, trails and other state-managed lands remain open, provided all visitors adhere to the requirement for proper social distancing – at least 6 feet between yourself and another person. If it becomes evident that people are not practicing effective social distancing while visiting these state-managed resources, we will close them to protect the health of our visitors and our staff.
The following provisions apply:
- State park headquarters buildings and contact stations are closed to the public.
- All bathroom buildings and vault toilets are closed.
- Playgrounds located in state parks and recreation areas are closed until further notice.
- A requirement that a Recreation Passport is needed for state park and recreation area entry has been suspended.
- The opening of the Silver Lake State Park ORV Area is delayed until May 1.
Here is the link to the entire announcement, as well.
DNR - COVID-19 Information
SO we should be civil, respect personal space, have a crap bucket on the boat, and be able to fish.
