I have a house just across the Wisconsin border that I have been fishing since I was a little kid(30 years ago). I have gotten so custom to catching the usual blue gills, crappie and carp that I never realized that the large mouth population has improved so much. I have caught the ocassional baby but nothing worth anything. I have been out the last two weekend in a row and gotten myself 3 nice ones. Got a 20" 4lbs & 15" 3lbs today and a 12" 2lbs lastweekend!Hope that fishing is improving in the area for everyone.
