  • I first heard of this unbelievable secluded mountain lake about a year ago, with trophy fish specimens that transcend ANYTHING we've ever seen in the sport. I hit the water with Joey the MF'er and Coleslaw with a legitimate chance to land a World Record Bass.

    Best catch of the video goes to Cole...outstanding drone work. He needs a raise and more air time!

    That was very cool on all accounts , the drone , fishing , commentary , camera work , Cole on camera catching a fish for a change and it looked really peaceful there .

    My opinion, this is the best small mouth fishery in the PNW. So happy to come across this, no one knows this area unless you’re from here or have friends from there that take you.

    " naaa..4 pounder."

    Don't get too many in my little river/ lake system that size,
    unless you fish one of the Great
    [big] Lakes around my state.
    Nice scenery! Good times with good buds makes for great fishing, even if you don't catch a butt load or the trophy P.B. fish.
    Tight lines and hanging tails y'all!

    That Dolly Varden was HUGE compared to the ones I used to catch when I was stationed
    on Adak Island up in Alaska. Pretty fish and fun to catch. Not a great reputation. They are known for raiding the beds and feeding on eggs of other trout species.
