Wasn't dissing Barren by any means. If I had to rate the two Barren would always come first. However this year alot of mixed reports from Barren and a whole lot of positive reports from Rough. Lakes go in cycles and it seems that Rough is having an exceptional year for the Hybrids. Not all them fish were babies they were catching on that show, hardly. Barren is the real deal for hybrids without a doubt though, just been hearing about alot of jumps lasting quite awhile lately coming from Rough. I'd rather catch a bunch of 15 to 20 inchers in the jumps anyday over a handful of honkers trolling. Just my two cents.
