About 2 months ago, I caught some small bass. Instead of tossing them over my shoulder, I hauled them to the creek on the back of my place. Then the creek dried up.
This is what I do with the small LMB I catch from ponds where the owners want them removed. Just put them in my portable livewell and deposit them in the creek. Have yet to catch one from there, but it makes me feel better that at least I gave them a chance.
And luckily for us, our creek is far from dry. I feel for you guys down there.
