Jordanelle bass harvest this summer.

[lundfun]

One day I visited Jordanelle with a tournament fishermen, who caught about 20 nice bass to my four or five. He showed me hook marks on almost every fish. Some of the bigger fish had missing mouth parts and even hooks in them. He wanted me to see that even in a reservoir the size of Jordanelle and even with fairly limited numbers of expert smallmouth fishermen that almost every fish in Jordanelle is caguht multiple times. The lesson was clear: If people had been allowed to keep large bass, there would be very few trophy bass in the reservoir.
