Dude,
He's getting them at Pablo right now. The fish look big and healthy. Pablo is an anomaly in the big bass world. The lake has like zero structure. It has a very top heavy bass population. If I took all my fish at Pablo, I bet 1/3 of them were over 7lbs and 2/3 under. I bet half of Fish Chris' fish are over 7lbs. The lake gets tons and tons and tons of trout, every single week from February to November. So big bass have lots to eat, but I sometimes wonder what the small bass have. There are crawdads in there, there are shad and silversides, but I suspect the trout and more recently the spots, really do eat a lot of the baitfish and stuff. It's not an unhealthy lake, it's just a weird lake. Sometimes I wonder if Pablo had weedbeds and clear water what would happen. Would it totally mess it up, or would it make it so these giants could obliterate the trout every single day and get totally humongous, even more than they are now. What I do know is that I'm bummed it's closed for the winter. The jig bite would be a lot of fun. It'll have to wait until February.
