Battle on Bago, 2018

Less than a month away, the ice has repaired itself. Hopefullly the warm stays away this year, although 35/40 isnt bad the days of.

A Big Thank You goes out to all the BOB committee members and volunteers who make this tournament possible. 

We look forward to it every year and appreciate all the time and effort/planning that goes into making such a big event great.

When and where do results get posted? Curious for fish and separate raffles.  Thanks. 

Bigjim, so i guess you're at least learning something then. Keep reading.  

The people who rant on here all day without giving ANY fishing reports EVER are the one you know CANT CATCH FISH

short barrel I say you definitely fall into this category

And he’s claimed to be a know it all about EVERYTHING!!!!

doesnt matter if it’s best reel, best bluegill lake, best bait for walleye, best crossbows, best flathead baits, best whitebass lure, longest turd etc. you wanna meet the worlds biggest “KNOW IT ALL” ask short barrels.

i subscribe to his posts just for the pure entertainment value after work it gives me something to read while I’m on the crapper!!! I get 5-7 emails a day giving me new insight about how great short barrels thinks he is!

Keep spending your time on here, leave the fishing to people who can actually catch them.

Did I miss something? Did somebody put something up and pull it?

Otherwise that's a hell of a rant for no apparent reason!

Slobs will do anything for money.  Cheaters will cheat....thus the reason there is not much to win to catch or cheat in a 28 inch fish from Depere.  you can't trust everyone.  if it's for a prize or even pride,  some will cheat. 

I love the slot rule,  I love that it's not big fish winning big prizes.  if you think you are that good,  start fishing walleye tourney's in the summer to win money.  this is for charity,  not to mention huge prizes.  Put the pride aside and fish.  Let luck have your fate on BOB and stop complaining.  if you don't like it,  sell your tickets.  

The only way i'd even encourage people ANY time of the year to keep a 18+ inch fish is if a kid caught it.  People act like it's the last fish they are going to catch and throw it on the ice.  I saw many pic's from this year,  lots of nice 18-23's taken,  that IS the year class that is strong.  people forget about the last time the forage was down and what happened to winnebago.  Lot's of short term memories in WI,  that was only 3 or 4 short years ago people were crying the blues because of the bad fishing.  wake up!

Fishburglar, 14-18" eyes are allowed, as are 22+". It's the ones 18-22" that cannot be registered. 

With all of the expected people ...........where do you park to access the lake if you don't want to park on the lake.  We have ATVs.  Any suggestions where to park to go out in Oshkosh would be good.  We have avoided BOB because of the parking hassles in past years. 

Burbot, taken out of tourny.

Walleye 18-22" taken out of tourny.

How about an addition that I cant really see anyone complaining about being overfished/harvested.

Add sheepshead to the tourny as another option for weigh-in.

**Not complaining, solid rule put in place this year.  Just never hurts to thin the sheephead. 

saw something confusing.  Is Battle on the Bago "Discouraging" registering of 18-22 inch walleye are are they going to "Reject" at registration (like the case with Sauger) your attempt and "NOT" register 18-22 inch walleye.  

I understand the biology of this lake, so that lecture is not necessary.  An official statement from the tournament team on this question would be appreciated. 

Thanks for the clarification.
