HFFA SURVEY: Submit Bass Length/Weights Here

[roadwarriorsvt]

As a part of the HFFA's lake management program, information regarding the largemouth bass' length and weight's need to be documented. We are asking you to help contribute to this aspect of the lake management progrtam by submitting your bass' length, weight, and date caught. Please measure from the fish's mouth to the fork of the tail, not the very end of the tail, just to the fork of the tail. This is primarily for largemouth bass. Feel free to submit the same data on the peacock bass as well. We will be requesting DLNR's records and other sources as well, but you guys are the meat and potatoes of this information. We appreciate your support as the HFFA strives to improve the fishery at Lake Wilson.

I'll start this data bank with my catches today:

We've got 24 recordings so far, and that is with tough fishing conditions. Now that the bite is picking up, I'll bet we can really get some numbers.

GOAL:

Our initial goal will be to record 100 fish, then we can relax for a bit, let the fish grow, then do another 100 later.

I do appreciate all the entries and you guys taking the time to weigh & measure the fish. Mahalos
