Great show! Keep them coming!

TOS Matt

Fast drop during/after spawn has impacted ky lake bass

Dennis in IL

9:54

Here in IL the price of lake stickers and ramp fees keep going up and trailers plates went from $18.00 to $118.00 and they tell us that they have to do this to improve the lakes and ramps ,etc. but these improvement never happen !

Scott from Indy

9:51

I wish Gene would run the IL and IN DNR. They both suck for Bass Fisherman. IL biologist Mounce hats tournament.

Frank- Mich.

9:49

Do you think using live bait on certain bodies of water has a impact on a lake?

Maynard

9:44

Nice to see a Fisheries Bioligist who actually gets out and enjoys Bass Fishing and shares his experiences ! Great job and very informative guest !

Jason Wilson

9:42

Is there a lake that he wishes BASS would go to but for whatever reason hasn't visited?

Frank- Mich.

9:41

Between the largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass- which one has a higher mortality rate over a tournament season? I know very hot temps can affect the outcome

Dennis in IL

9:39

What can be done about the carp issue on Kentucky Lake !

Twin Menace

9:38

The spraying on the California Delta is ridiculous and was actually killing wildlife. I’m convinced the state wants to kill the fish because the fishing community is probably the biggest opponent to them shipping water to Southern California

Bruce

9:37

When shocking up fish, have you ever shocked up one that was a surprise find for that particular lake. Thanks mark!!

Dave tx

9:37

are there many young bass biologist coming up to help keep conservation efforts going

Matt from MN

9:36

What are Gene's PBs for SM and LM?

Dennis in IL

9:33

Has he ever found any fish tied up while out doing surveys ?

Jason Wilson

9:26

What is his favorite lake to fish?

Maynard

9:23

Will a hook totally dissolve if left in a Bass's mouth, and not removed ?

Chris

9:21

If pulling the fish out of the live well by the culling device is bad, wouldn't allowing competitors to boat flip fish also be bad? Why not mandate nets?

TOS Matt

9:19

Has he discussed delayedtournament mortality yet?

Frank- Mich.

9:16

What about all the lakes that get sprayed for weed control- how much impact on the bass fishing does that have?

JD - Illinois

9:15

Are there any issues with bleeding off the air bladder on deep fish or summer heat fish. I'm sure people need to know how to do it before attempting it.

Scott from Indy

9:01

What is his opinion on cull tags. Will the fish's mouth heal up? Im glad most people dont use punch tags now

Maynard

9:00

Gene, wouldn't it be better for BASS & BPT to land there fish with a ruberized landing net rather than "jerking" them into the boat ?

Jason Wilson

8:59

Because of catch and release does he feel that the health of some fishers suffer because you have an over population of fish?

Frank- Mich.

8:57

I hear on a lot of forums about Bass bouncing off the carpet when caught doing damage to the fish- does it? In my opinion- keeping fish in a livewell in the summer months is more stress and damaging to the fish! How about you

Matt from MN

8:55

Has Gene every run across what he believes was a potential record fish while shocking?

Mike-Oklahoma

8:55

Glade to see Gene didn't come down with the Classic Flu alot of the anglers did

JD - Illinois

8:54

How does shocking effect the fish and fishing after they're released? How soon do they go back to "normal"?

Dennis in IL

8:52

My daughter worked for a airline in Texas , she was let go yesterday !

8:50

The Tennessee River is the best fishery on this planet.

Matt from MN

8:50

What does Gene think the effects of lakes with ramps closed/shelter in place states will affect this years class of bass both short term and long term?

JD - Illinois

8:49

I own a tackle and kayak fishing shop. This is our peak time from now through May where we do approximately 40% to 50% of our annual revenue. This is devastating to small businesses like mine.

Scott from Indy

8:43

Some Indiana ramps were closed by local governments. State parks are open for now anyway

JD - Illinois

8:43

Illinois went overboard here. Pretty much every other state has at least left open air areas open, lakes trails, ect...

Kevin in Illinois

8:41

Here in Illinois all DNR ramps are closed but most county and Army Corp lakes are still open.

Matt from MN
