I grew up on Guist. We had a camping trailer and camp there on the point for 17 years through my youth. I was good friends with Charlie and Dean McClain and they certainly caught their share of hawgs out of that little lake. Between Charlie and Dean combined they probably have over 20 over 8lb. Charlie use to get them with the old style jigging pole and wads of night crawlers. Of course that was the good ole days and the lake has changed alot with tons of pressure now. Sorry guys I don't want to piss you off but that little lake can't handle all those tournaments, it's just too much on three hundred and change acres. Yea, I know they all get released, but many die.
Anyway I've caught some Toads out of there in my time as well. I had a bass on out in front of our trailer once right in front of the big stump everybody use to hit with their boat motors that was enormous. It straightened out two hooks on the back of a ole Rebel minnow, the long one with the three hooks. My Dad God rest his soul saw the whole thing from the bank as I was in my little Jon and that thing was pulling the boat easily. Back then as a kid I used cable for line and pulled for everything my little skinny ass could muster which is why I lost that pig, wish I could do it over again, lol. In my minds eye I can still see that brute and would bet it was easy 10 maybe a fuzz more. It rolled and couldn't even jump it was so fat.
