Quotes about spawning (16 Quotes)


    It seems we're kind of in the middle of the spawn. Usually, the monster fish spawn first and they're done spawning. I expect there'll be a 10-pounder caught, but it won't be a slugfest like in 2001. I think you'll see pretty good weights.

    We were in the heart of the ghetto in Chicago during the Depression, and every block - it was probably the biggest black ghetto in America - every block also is the spawning ground practically for every gangster, black and white, in America too.


    We are failing to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying . . . a dead weight of human waste . . .an ever-increasing spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.

    If you don't breach the lagoon, you'll lose the run of fish. There are arguments both ways. If you breach it too early, the younger fish are going to die because they're not mature enough and will get sucked out into the ocean, but if there's a drought year, you're going to have to open it up during their spawning cycle so they can get into the river.


    Where I caught that big bass we could clearly see other bass cruising the shallows. That tells me that they are moving up and getting ready to bed. In fact, we saw several beds in about 5 feet of water. Everybody is getting excited about the spawn. We'll probably have bass on the beds by this weekend. But the real push of spawning bass won't come for another 10 days or so.

    How far the white bass run up the Sabine is dependent on the river flow. It is not going to keep them from spawning. A lot of people may not know that they will spawn in the lake on wind-blown points. It is going to impact angler success.

    The male cuttlefish has quite a challenge on his hands when it comes to the end of their yearly life cycle. There are four, five, even ten males for every female on the spawning grounds, so the challenge they face is, 'How do I get my genes into the next generation' There's enormous competition among the males for the relatively few females that are on the spawning ground.

    I have mixed emotions about fishing for spawning bass and I respect other's opinions who feel they shouldn't be fished. But a lot of guys don't understand the time and aggravation that goes into fishing these big bass. The stars really have to be aligned. Conditions have to be perfect. Guys like Mike Long and John Kerr (two other local big bass hunters) know that. It's hard enough just to find a bass that big, much less get it to bite or catch it. Only the people who have caught and fought these big bass know that.
