Would have been nice for the MDC to give a little more depth to their answer....at least it was the truth.

Well, the main reason for the number of heavy 5 bass bags is that all of the bigger fish from this 54,000 acre pond are being relocated to a few certain locations.   Throw them all in a 1500 acre city lake and you'll set some records there too.

I hear the dock repair guys are seeing a lot of sick bass, bare skin and white scale patches. I'm wondering if it's from tournament released fish damaged in the livewell? I'm with Wrench, all derbys should be Catch Photo Release. It should be mandatory.
