Wow James! I grew up fishing that lake! I've fished that lake since I was 10 years old! My buddy's parents live on the lake and it is one hell of a bass lake. I got one bass over 7lbs. on that lake and is on my wall. Wow...how did you know about that lake....let me guess Steve? It's a good lake but man its not nearly as good as it once was. I've seen guys keep stringers of 5lb. + fish on that lake and it made me sick. Anyways, cool video, but I still can't believe you made a video out there.

Considering we filmed on that lake during a nasty cold front and Steve hadn't been there in years... I'd say that little lake is a gem.

Steve used to fish that lake from time to time with his brothers in years past. He hadn't been there for a few years but it was a lake he felt we could do well without a lot of prep work.

Quote: cool video. obviously some good fishing left on that lake. alot of catch n keep on bass out there.
That's very unfortunate. A lake that size just isn't going to be able to support any amount of harvest on those larger fish.
The largest fish we caught at the end of the show were taken off a pair of small mid-level points that extended out into deeper water. Those little points would be VERY easy to overlook. On that day they were loaded with large baitfish and the largies were right in there with them. I wish we would have had more time to really dig into that pattern more as my gut tells me there were some real brutes to be had. When Steve and I stuck that pair at the end of the day we were literally saying "all we need is a kicker fish and we have a show." Thankfully they came as a matching set (although I think mine WAS a little bigger. )!
