Leave the bass alone. I took my grandkids up there off Walnut creek and we caught thirty yellow, white perch, four Walleyes twenty rockies and at least sixty smallmouths. Tthrew the bass back in , but my granddaughter got two citation size. She is on the PA F&G Website. I’m not looking right now, but I think it was 25” or better. She kept yelling “Brucie, help me with this!” I told her bring it in or you lose the honor and you’ll be ashamed of yourself. Never saw a teenage girl so proud.
I’m on Erie every June. The best bass fishing in the US is Lake Erie in June.
Wow, sounds like your freezer’s full. Man, I gotta get up there.
BTW, I’m not much of a fisherman (but I like to fish when the fishin’s easy)... So, what’s the thing about bass? Are they endangered or something?
Where is the ‘greatest’ of the great lakes, Superior?
You know - Gitchiee Gummi, the shining bright sea water?
It is not on the photo.
They're just not as tasty as perch, walleye and trout.
Someone just mentioned Gitchie Gummi (see post #13). A song, is it?
Wow, I didn’t know that. I always like to order blackened sea bass when we go out to a seafood restaurant. Had some good ones (or so I thought). Don’t think I’ve ever had walleye. They sure look like a yummy, juicy fish. Anyway, I like fish. The wifey hates it. So we rarely eat any and I’m craving it right now.
Okay, never mind... I just Googled it and somebody said sea bass is a lot better than bass. Guess I’ve never had bass.

Oh, yeah, I’ve heard of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Followed it closely in the news when it happened. I’ve even heard that song but forgot the reference to Gitchie Gummee, thanks.
Not really endangered, it’s just they fight like hell and deserve to be let loose. The Gobi (an invasive fish) eat their eggs, so we catch’em take a nice picture (I wish I could post my grandaughter’s 26 incher but I’m testilogiccally challenged) but let them go. If you’d take the time to go to PA Fish commission and look for Sabrina Dunkelberger. She has one of the two citation fishes on there. Her brother had a citation 18’ perch there. I had a snootful of beer but wasn’t photographed.
On a clear day you might see michael moore.
