Just got off of ksl and saw the same thing. I know there are allot of ponds out there that have bass in them. But i dont think I would pay that much!! ---

Come on Brody, they are private lakes that you have to pay for. If you are going to pay money to fish, just go to the fish farm.[;)] ---

I can get the same experience…catch a bass every time guaranteed for absolutely free in a 20 minute drive. Actually went to a “sweet” spot and landed a bass in 5 min today lol. 150 dollars…lame. Maybe if they guaranteed all of them to be 10 - 25 lbs, I’d just think about it. Fun post there lol. You never know there just might be folks who would pay for it. ---

There is alot of less fortunate people that cant catch fish or only have the desire to do it once in a blue moon as a family event or something so for those type of people it probly makes sense but for people like us that would be foolish the only reason why i know is i have a friend that owns a pond and that is what he has told me if you add up buying all the gear a lic ECT. you are over what he charges ---

Good points.[;)] I was talking with kok\_head about the same $$ situation. We decided it would almost be cheaper to hire a guide for kokes at the gorge than take your own boat/equipment.[pirate] ---
