ok, on a more serious note...

It happens from time to time that I get to feeling pretty down about some website thing or another. Usually it's the same general topics. So in the last year or two I have a little thing that I do to cheer myself up. I stop thinking about whatever I'm thinking about that's negative and I take some time to work on something new for the site, whether it's an article, a review, something in the gallery, etc.

For this topic I have an idea. I'm going to commit to writing a new article all about trophy bass handling. Things you should have with you, ideas for proper bass care, and general tips. It'll take me a little while to get the photos but I'll get it done. I think half the time when you see the dead bass in the kitchen type pic it happens because a guy isn't prepared to catch that sort of fish and winds up taking the fish home because they want people to believe them that they caught it and they want to get a picture or a mount. Fish Chris has always promoted education versus yelling at people and I happen to agree, so look forward to a new article in the coming weeks.
