He did speak on that matter and said the bass are doing fine. Of course there are less bass now then 30 years ago. No one fished for them then. Bass fishing is becoming more and more popular. Guys are getting better at it too. There is a leveling of point I believe. You will have only so many fisherman. Its like anything else . Only so many people in a general area will enjoy it and get into it. same thing as sailboating, gardening and antiqueing or any other hobby. Like you say there are still plenty. If you view the creel sensuses from fish and game for Winni you will see that in excess of 5000 bass are caught and recorded in tournaments every year. year after year. The average weight per fish remains relatively the same. that 5000 doesn't take into account fish not documented by recreational fisherman and tourney guys just practicing and releasing fish right away.
