I know that you have $$ invested in the bass, but if I could get kids hooked on fishing I'd let them fish and get hooked and lose some of my fish. You can always buy more fish, but if they lose their enthusiasm for fishing they may never care for it again.
This is exactly what i need to keep in mind.
I worry about the catch-ability, but this is a risk i will take to share my hobbies with my boys, and all the kids from church.
I love the idea of adding more 10 inch fish as time goes on. I love seeing these feed trained bass exploding all around. They are so active now that we have started having cooler weather.
