At the Saturday session of PB folks, Bob Lusk even said that he has come around to the understanding that Florida strain bass are very difficult to catch in small ponds. He said he used to think, like many on here still do, that its bad fishing, bad management or whatever. He said he always had held the theory that Florida bass have to be eating something to get that big so they can be caught. He has now changed his view.

I'm not in the minority on this topic in the broader audience of fishermen and pond folks. For some reason, which I do not understand, many folks on this forum always come back to the bad fisherman, bad manager, limited data, etc. arguments rather than open up their thinking to consider that indeed there may be something going on here. Since Bob Lusk says something is going on, and that is what I heard him say loud and clear, maybe more folks will listen.

EWEST, I'll be most interested in the minutes of that discussion.
