Put 5 in the boat last evening. 3 flipping the grass with a baby brush hog, one on a grub and one on a buzzzbait. Nothing bigger than 13". I spent most of my time on the points and cove on the left side of the dam. In that cove I hooked something on the grub. I had it on for 30 seconds. I was fishing with 6 lb test and I never had any control over this fish. I took drag at will and all I could do was say "holy crap" and hang on. It eventually went down in the grass and came off. I imagine it was a muskie but I never saw it. If it was a bass, it was huge. LOL So, where are the big ones?

Do not doubt for one minute that the biggies are gone, they are there and did not get big by being stupid. We are the ones who have to adjust and thats what makes it interesting. There will always be someone out there that will come up with a new gimic and for a while it will work wonders, but once they adjust to getting slammed with the same thing then it will be back to the drawing board. Catch and release is great, but did you ever think that the fish you return maybe goes back and tells his buddies. Who knows,but thats what makes us come back again and again. God what a great sport, if it ever disappears I don't want to be here anymore. Remember take care of that lake, obey the laws and the sweetest words you can hear is " FISH ON"

That's why it's called fishing, and not catching. lol
