Understanding all of this. The PB Mag is focused on LMB and such.
In my 52 years of breathing on this planet, I have never seen a person rig up to catch LMB. And only know of my nephew catching one a couple years ago by mistake!
LMB are a Southern thing!
I don't live in Texas, and subscribing to a mag that's all about what happens there, in the pond's and such, is a serious waste of cash on my part. Hope you don't take this the wrong way!
My gracious, that is so extremely far from the facts, I don't know what to say. I would figure that many of my fellow contributors to the magazine would certainly take exception to these thoughts also.
As for being centered only on bass from Texas, that is really way off. Mark Cornwell, from upstate NY, and Dave Willis from South Dakota, have something in nearly every issue ranging from pike, to walleye, to issues about things like leeches and concerns about ponds with severe winters.
Condello, Cody, and Baird have contributed tremendously varied subjects, and I can't think of an article by any of them about LMB. There are few fish in North American private waters that don't get covered in a year's worth of issues. And, there are the wonderfully illogical things that we learn from Ewest's regular column. Like, who would have ever thought there is solid research showing that galvanized bait fish traps will catch more than the black fish traps?
This time of year I still get lots and lots of requests and questions about the venison pastrami article on the last two pages of Pond Boss from few years back, along with questions about building fish worm farms to eat your garbage.
