Craigums Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I understand what the lateral line does. just always thought that black line was it... Guess you learn something new everyday. Does the black line serve any purpose at all? such as camoflauge, mood, attracting the pretty girl bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnham Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 lol in my fish and wildlife management class my teacher told us today that the black line is the lateral line. well i believe you guys over him, and i do see that faint line..the teacher isnt that great anyways, hes an ok guy but isnt really much of an outdoorsman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bemidjibasser Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Well, I guess in a technical sense, it is a line, sort of, and it does run laterally along the fish. So, have him take a look at a smallie and ask if it has a vertical line instead of a lateral line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishinVeteran Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ha ha ha... Crappies have spotted lateral lines!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonkaBass Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 All the lateral line is, is holes along the side of the fish that expose nerve endings that detect pressure changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryguy247 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Here is My big Fish from Opener Morning. 21 Incher that was nice and fat. Next in size was a nice 19 incher, and a bunch of 15 to 16 inch fish. That works for me on opener. I hope all the rest of you had great luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjbassmaster Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Here are the 3 biggest bass of our opening weekend so far. Here is a 17 and 1/2 inch smallie I caught yesterday. Here is another 17 inch smallie. That my dad caught yesterday. And Here is the biggest largemouth of the year so far at 18 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzeback Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 that 21 is a fatty. fishing the 'sippi? I'd love to see a lake with a big old tree sticking out of it like that.I've got some video of some pre-season smallmouth action, one fish was 17 the other was probably about 19-20, got off at the side of the boat. Didn't worry about it though since it was a few days before opener. fun fish though, I look forward to posting some 20+ inch pig smallies in here this week.
