Norris Lake had a fish kill in '03 I think it was and it is still trying to recover. Norris will fully recover to trophy status before LC in my opinion. For those that think a 20 lb striper is a trophy, they haven't fished elsewhere. Just a little further south and a 20 lber is just another good fish. For those that think Ohio fisherman are desperate fisherman, I resemble that remark.
You mis-read something somewhere. I never said a 20 lb fish was a trophy, I said it was a quality fish. Big difference. And thanks, but I certainly have fished "elsewhere".
