Cedar Creek Lake No Wake Zones will happen

Mark, of course the slot helped Dale, but that doesn't mean it would help Cumberland and Laurel, they are not Dale. There is a reason the world record smallmout and most of the largest smallies in the world have come from Dale. Just like there is a reason(s) that almost all of the 20 pound largemouth in history have come from California.

As for the guides clients bringing home smallmouth, would would keep the from doing it to a legal fish regardless. I think there maybe more reasons than some grass that makes Cumberland not like Dale.

Btw, keep disagreeing with me and I will not talk sports with you LOL!

Not to butt in, but I am just wondering, was the record smallmouth caught on the ky side or the tn side. Because I found this say that Cooley Williams has the state record-http://www.hollybaymarina.com/record_fish.htm. I know in 55 it was caught while trolling? Does Colley have the record for actually fishing for the fish?

That listing is old. A few years back some questions arose about David L. Hayes catch and it was delisted for a while and the state record was then from Laurel, but the record was reinstated. The way I understand it was that Hayes was fishing close to the state line and wasn't sure what state he was in, so both Kentucky and Tennessee claim the world record smallie as the state record.
