You are a very wise man

The odds of catching a 3lb are still high but it gets everyone excited I have a buddy that has caught a few in a pond near his home if it was open to the public it would be overrun with people right now. Lol it's like Toledo with the bass I think I've seen 50 post of bass over 10lbs this year

I only pointed out that one day there's no one and the next it's crazy .. This is not new, every year a million people show up here .. It's a magical place with big fish .. Been like this way before I fished it..

and correct me if I'm wrong, you throw most of your catch back.

Yes I release about 99% .. I fish the point because it's a great lake where you catch more 2 lbers in a day than you do in the south in a lifetime .. But it's not my backyard so I do my part to respect the locals and leave the keeping to them
