I'm disappointed to see now that House Natural Resources and Tourism Committee Chair Representative David Martin has added those very bad commercial fishing bills HB 5801 and 5802 to an upcoming committee hearing on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at noon.

The poorly written, damaging to Michigan Sport Fishing commercial fishing bills have been introduced again. State House Bills 5801 and 5802, introduced by Rep. Dave Prestin and Rep. Jason Morgan, have been assigned to the House Committee on Natural Resources and Tourism.

This is a tale of two lakes. Intertwined lakes, in Barry County, Michigan. Where somehow the water has gone away. Upper and Lower Crooked Lakes, both near and dear to me, are suffering from the lowest water levels I've seen in the 35+ years I've been fishing them.

Big baits work.  I carry 10 inch worms, 10 inch lizards, and now GY has a 12 inch worm too. 

If you remember, there was a story in Bassmaster a few years ago about a guy who was studying bass behavior in an observation pond behind his house.  He witnessed a bass come out of the water and grab a robin that was at the edge of the pond.  That really made me believe that bass are nothing more than a freshwater shark.  They are opportunistic feeders.

My friend and i went to a pond down the road from where we live and the HAD tons of leapard frogs around there ponds and we would just hook them with a little octopus hook in the nose and cast them next to the cat tails and they would swim on top and then all of a sudden sploosh, no more frog, but one big bass! soo they do bit. also if u go on youtube u kand find videos where people feed bass live chipmunks, mice, and rats.

I've caught 8" bass on Ole Monster worms in Michigan....

One time I was fishing down a bank and I spied a walnut sitting on a log overhanging the edge of the water. I looked around and thought ...that's strange, I don't see a walnut tree! A chipmunk came down and started nibbling on the walnut. All of a sudden SPLOOSH, a pike took the chipmunk right off the log. I turned to my partner and said "Wow did you see that!" A few seconds later the pike came up and set the walnut back up on the log....

FISH HARD!!!

Danny... you should stick to the 7" ones until you're a little older.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
