What's everyone's thoughts on use of an underwater camera/ultrasound so only fish around potential trophies? Technology has advanced so much from just being able to tell 'something' is on the radar to now tell the species and estimate size. Guess not much different than hunting elk and glassing a herd then decide no bulls big enough and go to another drainage? Hadn't considered this approach for fishing.

OH NO! That's like throwing a stick of dynamite in a lake and only picking up the big fish that float to the top
Orvis fly rods 9ft. / 5wt. / 4pc.
Ross 4/5 reel
9 ft. 5X tapered leader with 3 ft. of 4 lb. fluorocarbon tippett
Hand tied poppers
Took my daughters out fishing at daylight this morning, no wind with on/off rain for the first 4 hours.
When it was raining, the bass would go full on acrobatics! Every bass caught would tail walk and jump like crazy
Literally lost more bass than what we caught, but this will be part of tonight's dinner.

Those look like “spotted bass/black bass” correct? No size or number limits on those.Orvis fly rods 9ft. / 5wt. / 4pc.

I think it’s important for anglers to understand the difference between spotted bass and true largemouth bass. I’ve had people look at me sideways before for keeping smaller spotted bass because they didn’t understand the difference.
Spotted bass don’t live as long, don’t get near as big, and our waters tend to be overrun with them.
The little ones taste good too ! Mmmm
Largemouth / Black Bass
Caught in a 7 acre private pond. The owner asked us to take any bass under 3 pounds, and said to release any bass that was 3 pounds or bigger.

Three of us went to Turquoise lake West of Leadville Co today for some spinner bait fishing.
We limited out in 1.5 hours. Fish fry tomorrow.
Amazing how clear the water is in the second pic.
