Usually they dont but theres some good ones in there. Just not in huge numbers unfortuanately. The avg. fish there isnt like the other large lakes in KY but there plenty of 2 lbs swimming and some 3s im sure. To get the sixty (only keep blacks over 9 and whites over 10) we had to weed through at least a hundred fish. But the keeper to short ratio was atcually tilted in the keepers favor, esp early, as the morning went on more throwbacks, but early it was surprising for cave run, nearly most all fish were keepers (no monsters but maybe 13-14in for biggest fish) although technically theres no size limit on cave run. They were grouped super tight mainly blacks which run bigger but there were some decent whites in there as well.

Hey Creekboy ya ever get a report from your friend?

Oh, and just FYI there where lots of topwater action with ky bass and largemouth whites etc in the jumps for at least a couple hours in the morning which makes for some fun. Good size bait/shad (2-3 inch) are schooling high in the water column in open water and they've been open game for everything. I wanted to go after em bad but didnt wanna leave the crappie. Good Luck!
