Back in the 70's and 80's when there was no limit on bass and few anglers fished for them, even the smallest of lakes kicked out 5 to 8 lb bass regularly, but because everyone kept their bass back then, including the big ones, these same lake are not a shadow of what they once were when it comes to big bass.

Thanks for the Larsen report. Not enough from that lake.
