Thread: Kentucky lake questions

I'm a local taxidermist near KY Lake. If there were "lots" of 2 pounders showing up, my freezers would be full of them. I wouldn't make a trip down thinking I was going to catch a 2 pounder any more than I would go to Florida thinking I was going to catch a 12 pound bass. There are lots of good quality redears with an OCCASIONAL 2 pounder showing up.

I agree w/ mrdux......I catch a lot of redear in April and May, but 2 pounders are not all over the place. I catch a few every year, but I'd say I have maybe (1) for every 300 - 400 I catch. Lots of people say they are catching 2 pounders when they are actually 1 1/2 lbs, which are darn nice redear. However, there are lots of nice ones in the lake. Good luck.... just wouldn't want you to make a long drive and be disappointed.
