Went to Black Lake and it was packed so I decided to go to my secret lake to try for trout. My first cast with a worm produced a tiny bluegill that ate the hook. The fish was in need of some serious medical attention when I released him, but much to my surprise he was inhaled by a huge bass! I tried every lure in the box but all they wanted was live bait. I caught a small bass, and on the retrieve I hooked a 2lb bass. I switched to a Banjo minnow and tried my best to lure the huge ones out. BAM! it was on ........after a 5 minute fight I landed this FATTY 5lbs 8oz....What a great fish...I'm not a bass fisherman at all............ but I think I'm hooked now!!!!! All fish released

Thanks,
No Brad it's at Ken Lake. The fish did have sort of a funny looking head. It looked like it got hit with a 2x4! I was told that there are 10lb bass here too. I had at least an 8lb fish hooked 2 times, but it got off. I've seen your pictures you caught some real FATTY's...Matt

ken lake, aint that about a 4 or 5 acre lake on black lake blvd? turn at the stop light there by that arco or whatever gas station there? i work right by there and i think i've seen ken lake rd or something. springer lake is by the oly airport, I used to fish that all the time and catch nice bass in there now it's a housing community or something and i cant get in there, i did drive in there when the gate was open but figured i better not try and get locked in. geez to get an 8 pounder going that aggressive this time of year is rare, they must be pretty unspooked in there keep after em. and post the hog
