Too bad the ole' tournament thread went to artificial only this year (might have been last year too, I don't recall)...


Got a really nice one out fishing today. Just a hair over 21" and a hair over 4.5 lbs.

Another 2lb'er that wanted to play

Nice Bass BH14. It appears as though your live bait was rigged with a treble hook, do you find that by using a treble hook it gives you a better oppurtinuty to land the fish? I'm not knocking it in any way at all, I'm just curious what the reasoning behind the treble is and thinking about its possible uses as a live baitfish hook.

Nice BH14!!! Gangly, I used to use trebles on fresh shrimp in the salt. It greatly improved my catch rates. A good live bait hook IMO.

I had a longer response typed out, but the computer timed out or something.

All in all, I think it increase hook-up ratio. I use a much smaller size than most do, and think the fish eat it will, and it sticks when they do, Also, trebles don't bend out too often.
