I fish in Ohio and mostly catch blue gill and crappie but there are supposed to be a lot of bass in these lakes but I have never yet caught one. Any help would be appreciated. I hear catching bass is much more exciting than 4 or 5 inch blue gill!

I have asthma along with others I know, and we all are allergic to fish. (Bluegills, Catfish, Trout, Bass, Crappie, etc). and when I get some of the slime from off the scales, I itch and swell up for hours.

While fishing this past week, especially when catching crappies, I noticed that at times the fishes mouth would get ripped to an extent, sometimes a hole where the hook when into the mouth. Does anyone know if this will heal with time and does it affect the fishes ability to eat or survive?
I only catch and release, by the way. I’ll quit fishing if I find out that these fish are dying anyway. Again, it’s especially the crappies, they have paper thin lips.

Looking for bass, catfish, crappie, blue gill, muskie or anything that puts up a good fight and is good to eat.

specifically, bass (large-mouth and small-mouth), crappie, and striper
