Agreed, bass fishing is a ton of fun.  None of the people I have met doing this condone or promote illegal stocking - most just want to preserve whats already there.

I whacked a lot of bass this year, dipped in flour and fried in butter is the most appealing thing about them. ;D

The easiest way to tell the difference from smallies and largies is that smallies have red eyes and largies have dark brown eyes.

Hehehe...these bass seem like good times!!!  I always watch people on WFN catch them and have tons of fun with it.  Obviously they are an introduced species?  Are there a lot of other lakes around Lower Mainland that have them aside from Allouette?

Alouette Lake does not have bass.

Sturgeon Slough
Pitt Sloughs
Walmsley Lake ( Albert Dyck Park )
Hatzic Lake
Fish Trap Creek
Mill Lake
Silvermere Lake ( private and access is tough )

Once you've seen both it's not hard to see the difference :) Especially that bucketmouth... man I miss bass fishin'.

love bass fishing. salmon not as much... they just are so easy to catch!
invasive? yup. west of the mississippi river. boost for the economy? yup. but hell, we'll just let all the true native fisherman have all the fish.
am I invasive? not as first nation "native"  hey, I should let the natives know that salmon/trout/pike minnow are great as fertilizers!

all kidding aside, all recreational fishing is a blast! bass included!

i should feel sorry for all the minnows in deer lake that the "Invasive" Rainbow trout from interior BC ate, minnows in metro vancouver lakes  should be eaten by the original coho or coastal cutthroat ! That's why the Fishery encourage ppl to remove rainbows in Metro vancouver stillwater in their best ability i guess

huh

For everyone who thinks largies dont fight I hope they get an chance to catch a nice hawg sometime. My biggest this year was a 5.6 lber. Im telling you they pull like a tractor and if your not using the proper gear you won't get them in. ie med/heavy to heavy flippin stick with minimum 20 lb test line. I use 50 lb super braid on my flippin sticks because of the no stretch quality, makes it much better for those massive hook sets.

All i got to say is back in cali ive caught many 10+ pound bass and ive been towed across a lake by a largemouth before they are absolute pigs  so until you personally have caught a big largemouth (5 pounds isnt big) dont knock bass fishing those big hogs fight like a fresh spring.Man im missin california right now thinkin bout them. ;D ive fished systems where ive caught trout,bass,carp,catfish bluegill and salmon in the same day.Sacramento river is amazing did i mention the striper also?shoot runnin late g2g
