I see we finally have the countdown to the REAL fishing opener!

Thanks Rick!

[WildBill33]

Agreed!! Let the countdown begin

[icehousebob]

I thought about becoming a Bass fisherman but found out I don't qualify. First off, I have most of my teeth and I hate chewing tobacco. Also, I have a full time job and I don't live in a trailer house. But most important, my parents were married to each other and were not blood relatives.

Bass Opener? What's that???

[Wade Joseph]

Oh lord, please show these misguided fools that real fish have teeth, its not fair to keep them in suspense over grass carp.

[Captain B.R.K]

If it doesn't have a LARGE BLACK stripe down the side, it AIN'T worth catching!!

Bring on Minnesota's true opener!!

[caseymcq]

I'm sorry, did I miss something? Where did you say the countdown is for muskie opener? I know some one mentioned something about "real" fishing opener

[delmuts]

they don't want that one up front til after the bass opener! if you click on the muskie forum , then you will see it at the top!

[Random guy]

Say what you want, put in the cheap shots and one liners. Just remember one thing; One of the muskies favorite snacks...BASS! They just want you guys to start early and catch a couple before the top of the food chain eats em up yum.

Bass Fishing is for the idiots that can not catch walleyes!!!

[hovermn]

Guess that makes me an one-who-thinks-I-am-silly, and proud of it!

[Bobby Bass]

Walleys are for bass fishermen who can't cast!!

[Down Deep]

Bass season is open. Come on up and have a good time on Da Range.

[Keith_MN]

Two pro-bass fishermen walked into a bar..............

Wouldn't you think at least one of them would have found the door?

Just had to do it guys (and gals). That is my all-time favorite joke. And FYI, I'm an upper Mississippi bronzeback man.

[Random guy]

Ten more days boys! Do you bass guys have all of you fancy little worm on a stick rigs ready to go?

[fishingbuddy]

You must mean the WI opener next year!!!

[Deitz Dittrich]

You people across the river just have to rub it in, dont you...
