Forum | What a hog-still available

Less than two weeks ago one lake in particular was verified as the site of a lunker tipping the scales at 16-pounds, 15-ounces. And where is this fertile fishery located where the big hog sleeps?

Is it Kentucky Lake? Perhaps Dale Hollow, Barkley, or Percy Priest? Maybe Pickwick or just a private lake or farm pond? The answer is "none of the above".

Nearby Brown’s Creek Lake is holding the mammoth moss back and guess what: it’s a public fishing lake open to you and me. That’s right. Any backlash Bozo can go there as it’s one of several state lakes managed by TWRA.

Tucked away in Henderson County’s Natchez Trace State Park is where you’ll find this 167-acre puddle. It’s been known to have some pretty good bluegill and a hefty black crappie or two but bass of the magnitude? Shucks naw.

The big catch came less than two weeks ago while TWRA biologists were conducting routine electro-shocking to monitor the fishery. They weighed and measured it, took scale samples and released it. That’s right; they released it!

Be advised if you attempt to catch the Tn state record largemouth bass that small lake has a 7 car parking lot.And is in the middle of nowhere.

This is about 1 hr and a half south of where both Steve and I live.

Uh Steve know anyone with a ten ft puddle jumper?Guess I could check the regs maybe a bassboat will float there.
