did you catch three bass or did you take three different pictures of the same bass?
Patoka does have a nice population of large mouth bass. The just have a lot of different places to hide. I've caught a few of them over the years but these days when I fish at Patoka I zero in on the crappie. I'm too old and tired to cast all day long. So I prefer the slow easy way of fishing for crappie. One pole and dipping jigs/minnows in deep water brush piles.
Congratulations on a nice catch there.
