Possible modification rule for northern bass tourney

[Chuck7]

This would only effect Phil and Buckhunter..but I would like to propose a live bait allowance for those northern fishermen because,,

A, their season is shorter...

B! Northern bass tend to run lighter than southern bass..

Please share your opinions on this topic"...southern guys would need to stick with artificial...we get to fish about 100 more days and our bass grow bigger.

I want to make this as fair as possible..

sound fair...

No need to do that for me Chuck, rules are rules it is all just in fun for the HNI tournament. If I had a more effective was to fish for them through the ice using artificial I would, although I do believe it is illegal to target them this time of year.

I just wanted to share some photos of them!

OK ..I'll wait on Phil's reply.if he does..I think he may be taking a break. I know a while back he got hammered pretty bad another forum..we will see.If you change your mind Buck I don't mind..you should be able to fish for them now as well and livwe bait is fine for me since you guys have smaller fish generally and not as much time to fish..I'd like to make it a close race..this would help you and Phil some..Live bait ups the odds quite bit.

Yeah Chuck, I have been taking a break from here but, that hammering does not bother me none.. I am pretty thick skinned.. I really do not see any need for a change either.. Besides I fish the tourney for fun and it gives me a chance to fish a lake I never really fished before.. Also I am not used to fishing those largemouths bass at all. I have caught a few but from what I am being told is they bite a whole lot different than our other fish do. My understanding they feel more like a log or a small snag of weeds when they big ones hit.. I am not sure but that is what I have been told they feel like when in the deeper water..

well too bad Phil and Buck..I've already changed it..I have to go with my heart.I've lived up north..Shucks..a 4 pound largemouth is a wall hanger up there { -;
