I make a living out of calling people liars to their faces. A lot of times they fight me, they all go to jail.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I make a living out of calling people liars to their faces. A lot of times they fight me, they all go to jail. I think the Judge and Jury make the final call on who is a liar. You just round 'em up for processing. Once arrested, that's when the process starts, so everyone goes to jail. You can not un-arrest someone, and the system has to make money Don't know about your neck of the woods, but there are plenty of "Peace Officers" that know the exact dimensions of a cement block (at least the face they can see), and I also suspect that their counting skills have improved as well. All just people interacting in a system of Chaos.

A standard, full 8" concrete block measures 15 5/8" x 7 5/8" when viewed from the face. They allow for a 3/8" mortar joint. And I'm not a peace officer..... Sorry...couldn't resist!

Bruce, great looking 3.1 BG. Did you catch many over 2#s? What bait did you use? Keep up the good work...
Just do it...

I may have to go back to be exactly accurate on my stats, but I've fished Richmond Mill approximately 175 hours over 20 days and 6 trips.
Over that period, I've caught dozens of two pounders, and three 3-pounders. The lures were 1/32 ounce jig, tipped with crawler, and two fish that were caught on crankbaits. One of the crankbaits was rather large.
I can say without a doubt that Richmond Mill is the most outstanding fishery I've ever seen. Bob Lusk and Dr. Jim Morgan have created something amazing.

..You gotta keep the fingers out of the picture and never post a picture of the fish next to a ruler or on a scale. Sorry Bruce, I realize you take pictures like that to show off the fish, but the engineer in my wants verified details. I quit posting pictures on this forum because I was tired of people implying that I was lying about my fish. Now I can get slammed even when it's a picture of somebody else. I can confirm people freaking out on Bruce. People freaked out on a picture I believe Bruce took and posted on a largemouth bass page on Facebook. Sue was holding the fish. 3/4 of comments were "photoshopped!" Having witnessed Bruce taking a pic first hand at the last Pond Boss Connect get together I know it's just a camera and him taking a picture. It amazed me at what people said. Crazy!

Thanks, John. Rule #1 of making a fish look big in a picture will always be, "Catch a big fish".

Bruce, that bass is awesome! Did you weigh that fish? Where was it caught?

I weighed that fish on a cheap-o digital scale at about 9.25 pounds I think. I caught it at Stagecoach Lake in SE Nebraska. This fish is part of a low population of predators and very high gizzard shad density.

That is a potentially good set up for a trophy hunter, but not very helpful from a pond management standpoint since the gizzard shad are generally considered too risky.
Awesome fish though. Congratulations.

Thanks, John. Rule #1 of making a fish look big in a picture will always be, "Catch a big fish". Bruce, it's real simple. Crap on the naysayers. You are exactly right - your technique simply puts a great fish front and center and allows it to be fully appreciated. For those who don't lime the technique, they are to set their fish on the ground and take a pic from 20the feet away. Some people just don't have enough of their own stuff to complain about!

My apologies for starting this thread. I should have known better. blush
Cecil, DO NOT apologize for starting any thread that gets Bruce picked on and agitated. He's been agitating me for yrs and I believe very much enjoys it. Since I'm not near as thin skinned as he and can take it, I say to you Bruce...Suck it up man!! Also while I will not be one to insinuate that all of his posts and pics may not all be above board I will state accurately that he is in fact a plageurist. Now since this has gotten a teeny bit heated and Bill has chided me to stir the coals, I have to ask this knowing full well that was that the wrath of the mods will surely heavily fall upon me, was that Pike pen raised or wild caught?
Merry Christmas everyone and may we all have a controversial New Yr
PS Rumor has it Bill Cody is having a bikini clad only ice fishing contest at his place in Janurary. Alto it has been in the 80s down here in Fl lately I may have to make a quick visit up to Ohio then. Hope you keep a good grip on your Johnson for that one Bill.

I think the photo is real too. If he is trying to extend the fish out he would have to lean back to counter-balance the weight of the fish. Chances are pretty good he just had a buddy with him and not a professional photographer. Those hands just look ridiculously huge.

Hey, Bob-O, please don't my post as being directed towards anyone on the forum. It was more in response to Bruce saying he's been attacked elsewhere by people claiming his pics are photoshopped when those people obviously know nothing about Bruce, his fishing prowess, or the bruisers he actually does catch. Of course, just to stir the pot, I accused him on just that on Facebook yesterday for the fun of it, so the controversial wish part of your post is going strong to close out this year!
I have always had a sense that Bruce is a masterplagiarist. He spouts movie lines like he wrote them!

I have no doubt that Bruce grows and catches big fish and has no need to exaggerate. I've seen that in person and have some of his outstanding genetic stock. And that includes no need to photoshop which he does not employ. However, one has to admit his photos would make one tend to believe he does, if you didn't know him due to the large size of the fish, and whatever lense or technique he uses.

If you guys don't quit picking on me I will wear a speedo in my next boating photo of me controlling the ol'Johnson. And no ice fishing pics going to Bob-O for publicizing the winter bikini clad ice fishing foray. Blabber mouth. Corn King says Bob-O was just banished as an official judge of the best fitting bikini.
