Only 3 caught since 2000. I wonder if there's still a 9# swimming in Dale at this point.

Thanks that was a cool link. Man I hope I get a pig like that before I die, I'm sure trying and wish I had more time to do it....

Billy Westmoreland on there THREE times, he in his life forgot more about catching Smallmouth than most men will ever know.

Dale took a big hit with that fish kill last year. I just wonder how long it will take to recover?

I know i wont be making the hour drive to dale nearly as often this winter unless things pick up drastically

It is pretty cool that 10 of those catches came out of dale though.

I have 6 trips to KY and 5 trips to Dale scheduled before Christmas. I will STILL fish Dale in the winter.

I dont blame ya a bit. The late november ky lake bite is always a lot of fun and even just a few smallies from dale would be worth it

Through columbia into burkesville. Usually there before daylight so no traffic to deal with. At the ramp in an hour to an hour and ten minutes

I talked with a fellow a few weeks back and he said it would probably be around 5 years and he expected someone to come out with a 10 pound smallmouth.

That would be nice. I bet some day the next/new world record will come out of there again.

I would not be surprised either considering the lake that Dale Hollow is. One of my favorite lakes to fish.
