Most recently last September, and sadly it was a derby that I helped organize and run. Enough floated that it upset us pretty bad. We had another scheduled for the following week and we cancelled it. Just finished weighing in a scoping contest today though.....and all seemed to swim off just fine. 22.32# to win 👍 snagged in outlet 3 and waterpossum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always heard the horror stories of summer bass tournament's having a bunch of dead fish the next day. I’ve never witnessed it. Has anyone witnessed that? Were they floaters? That's very true. We did find a 34" brown floating on Taneycomo a few winters ago, but floating trout are pretty rare it seems. You see plenty of them laying on the bottom though. snagged in outlet 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats because trout live in shallower water and dont utilize their swim bladder everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.

tjm Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I read that trout sink because they have a pressure release valve on the swim bladder that some other fish don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I bled off my pressure relief valve earlier, and ran everyone out of the kitchen including the dog. 👍 cheesemaster, vernon, bobby b. and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That defys everything I thought I knew about March bass fishing. You have guys in snowmobile suits holding bass that are clearly bedding......and they probably caught them suspended in the middle of a cove. 🥴 Just shoot me now !!! grizwilson, mixermarkb and snagged in outlet 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
