Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

So I have been looking around the internet and some of the things I see done to big bass make me feel sick inside. I am glad that Sure-Life made a great video on proper fish care. The proper holding of bass is also discussed. If you have been at D and R Sports lately and looked in the fish tank I think one of the big bass in there fell victim to improper holding and his jaw became dislocated or broken because he can not close his mouth. Lane and Tony know a lot about fish care and are very passionate about taking care of the fish. It would be really beneficial to follow what they have to say and watch the whole video. I have a Skeeter with a livewell I consider to be very, very small and have been following their guidelines for the past couple of years and the amount of dead fish I weigh in has almost gone to 0 thoughout the year. My non-boaters in last years State Championship at Charlevoix could tell yu that each day I attempted to fizz my largest smallmouth through the mouth and the fish both jolted and tey were bleeding so bad I was sure they were dead, however I added Please Release Me and instantly the wounds clotted. Paul Ellias also became a part of the staff in return for product because part of his recrd setting catch was bleeding so bad from his crankbait they had to shut the camera off but he added the formula directly to the wound and his fish was released live at the weigh-in in great shape. At the end of the video they tell about their personal background and how much they have researched to provide the geatest possible care for bass, and all fish in general.
