You probably all remember when the "fisherman" urban we once were in our younger days while trying to catch a bass beautiful red lips, asked, what time you go for the bread?, What's your name, how many years do you have?.
Sometimes when we captured a good specimen of bass, especially when it comes to a true "grandma" wanna ask the same question of age, but unfortunately we can not answer it directly.
There are several ways to determine the development and physical condition of the bass, based on its geometry and weight, but not talk about them now, but remembering that fortune in fishing also sits on the box of lures, we know we can estimate of a very simple way the probable age of the bass caught. The method is similar to that used for determining the age of a tree by counting the marks or rings on a trunk section. Here's how:
The first thing to do, being very careful not to hurt our capture, is to take a flake of the medial side of the body, wash it with water and dry. Then you have to watch the scale to the light to be able to notice a series of fine parallel lines that are not anything but rough, which are formed in the scale through each year. Thus, to determine the likely age of the fish, just have to count the groups of lines on the scale, and assign each a winter in the life of the bass. Very simple is not it?.
Common sense indicates that a larger bass is older than one of smaller size and weight, which is usually true for the same reservoir, within its own frame of reference, but not necessarily to a different one. Imagine the reservoir "A" located in warm weather and the conditions of pH, available forage, annual average temperature, etc.., Are optimal, on the other side of the reservoir "B", located in predominantly cold climate without the excellent conditions of the first . If we compare specimens of the same age from both reservoirs, the more likely the Lake "A" are of greater size and weight than the "B".
We know the trend, at least in the case of bass, is that development in cold temperatures is slower than in warm weather and therefore the growth lines marked on the scale will be closer together to each other that in the warm weather.
In return the bass in cold weather tend to live longer than the warm weather. A bass in a cold region can reach an age of 14 to 16, while a hot region can live 10 to 12 years. The bass, being a cold-blooded animal, basa your metabolism mainly water temperature and "burn" faster is the more rapid development, as with an outboard motor that is used very revolutionized during lifespan.
In any talk of a specimen taken aged around 10 years, representing an animal "survivor" that more than luck, survives on that perhaps has developed a special sense of survival and higher genetic characteristics.
In their environment, perhaps a year of bass equals 6 or 7 of us, with the difference that remains a breeding animal (although a large consumer), but tipping the balance towards the conservation of the species and significantly to the transmission of genes conspicuous.
Just try to imagine how many adventures have been through to get to live so many years, so that one day we were fortunate that gets in the way of our bait and end up in the pan or hung on the wall. This should give us a guideline to decide how to treat our catch.
Even if we implement the technique of "catch and release" and that therefore we believe we own the absolute truth, is an undeniable fact that somehow alter the normal life of the bass or the fish get used to capture and hurt they cause pain and stress (even though we believe that the bass does not suffer pain that does not complain or make sounds you to do so). therefore this pattern for handling the fish caught must go beyond "catch and release" in the process ensuring that we implement all our efforts and ability to cause as little damage as possible, which also adds an ingredient you especially fishing.
There are sport fishing page it belongs to this writing, several excellent articles about how to handle the fish once caught, so it is widely recommended reading.
If we practice and spread the practice of catch and release with the appropriate care in the process, we will increasingly scale with more parallel lines within them
