See this lake? I lived near it for a few years and was astonished by what I have seen in it. There are No snakeheads in it and is completely blocked off from all surrounding water systems. Over a 4 year span I've caught Crappie in Okeechobee and tossed over 30 in the lake alive trying to invest in my future. lol Super clean water and Deep as hell. My buddy thru his fish finder in the and it reached 26ft deep before it could reach the middle. This lake holds NOTHING but big fish. Been freshwater fishing for 25plus years in South Florida and I caught my Biggest ShellCracker in this lake on one of my custom jigs.(I will Post the video Below) I also caught one of my biggest bass in this lake as well with a jig tipped with a worm.(Video Below)
But see it gets better because one day I seen something I never seen before. Fish so big it gave me Goosebumps. Before I caught my big bass in this lake I was on the hunt for something way bigger. People always told me that if you want to catch Freakishly large bass use a live Bluegill so I caught one bout 5 inches long, threw him on a 3/0 hook and tossed as far as i could to the middle of the lake. Every time I threw him out there he hauled as back to the banks swimming about a foot underwater. He did this 3 times before he died from all of the stress. The 4th time I threw him out his body sunk into the depts of the lake. Once I knew he was on the bottom of the lake I retrieved him slowly and once I started to see up come up I seen school of 30 baby bass bout 7-10inches long follow my bait. It was amazing and I never seen that before. But as I was admiring the big school of Largemouths I seen a big dark shadow behind them but it wasn't moving so I thought it was a tire or a rock sitting at the bottom floor. Didn't think nothing of it with my bait still in the water and the school of bass never left. I looked away and walked about 7 feet to the left and and when I looked back I seen the Biggest f*cking bass I have ever seen in my 29 years of existence. I froze because I didn't want to scare it but he froze too like most bass do when the see a human on the bank. I wasn't a tire, it wasn't a rock, it was a Largemouth bass between 20-15 pounds. He was so big that his popped belly was hanging and it was as round as a volley ball. I seen him as clear as day because like I said the water in this lake is super clean and clear. He snuck on me looking at me and I was looking at him. I was scared because I wanted catch him but I knew if I pulled my blue out of the water and tossed it his way he would have dipped. But before I could even attempt to catch him he slowly backed off and swam back into depts. He still in there and I want somebody to catch it. I tried but the bass I caught out of there may have been pushing 8 pounds but there is no comparison to whats in the lake.
