tried valen's reservoir a few weeks ago and it was the same thing, people literally keeping everything that was coming out of the water, including 2 inch largemouth, probably the smallest bass i've ever seen.

was pretty discouraging and just makes me want to do my fishing up north because there's no way any of these fisheries can be even half decent with people acting this way.

I won't even bring up what's going on with salmon too edit: I guess I kind of just did, but this is a topic for the other boards)

I don't think anything beats a backpack for shore fishing, get a good one with proper straps and you're good to go

great report man, nice fish!

just got into fishing for lakers myself, and haven't had any luck in summer, i'm amazed that you can catch them in 15-20 fow in august, in my lake they're 100 feet down right now.

am i missing something? 

i've heard high park is bad

they should make these conservation areas/parks c & r only, better than having absolutely no fishery

wow, I don't think i've ever seen smallmouth that big, congrats and thanks for posting the video, great report!
