If they keep stocking rainbows in Dale and keep the slot in place for another 5-7 years, I believe the record will be broken and Dale. There is no comparison to the QUALITY of fish that I have landed this year versus last year on the FNF. I don't get to fish Dale very often and maybe I have just lucked into a bunch of good quality fish but everything I hear from those in the know at Dale say the fishery is making leaps and bounds every year.

Dale Hollow record Smallie, Late March 2011, Smithwich Rouge, 10lb Test, Curado, G Loomis, Woody's Cove caught by ME.......I sure hope Cliff or Rob are in the boat to play the role of NETBOY and PHOTO-OPPORTUNITY BOY when the big girl is landed.

Just my opinion
