Mebbe so but Let me be clear. I am not saying I didn't catch fish at Reelfoot or they were dinks. I fished there in 07-09 and caught a ton of gills in the pads,off the Cypress roots and got into some good ones on the beds a couple times. I decided in 2010 to try KY lake and Stayed at Moors fishing in the bays close by and my wife and I were amazed at the size of the gills. Granted we do our spring trip in early May which is usually the sweetspot but honestly we stopped going the extra distance to Reelfoot and have had similar success each year, even with the crazy spring we just had. I don't have the historical experience you have but for me in the last 6-8 years my biggest average gills have been from KY and Barkley. we catch a lot more redear there too. Last time I was @ Reelfoot Billy Blakely actually got up to look at the one redear I had in the cooler. It was a nice one but not to compare with these from May this year. I love Reelfoot and I will try it again once I move closer, but it has been my humble experience that KY Lake has recently produced bigger fish for ME. Oh and that Hog in the middle my wife caught!
