[#0000FF]Pineview is subject to the same regulations as Jordanelle...and is an older lake. But Pineview still produces LOTS of big smallies. There was one caught 2 weeks ago that would have broken your record...but the guy doesn't care about records.
What is the difference? FOOD. Jordanelle was cleaned out by the smallies. They ate all the chubs and when the perch had a big dieoff so did the big smallies. There are no crawdads in Jordanelle. On the other hand, there are gazillions of small perch and crappies in Pineview...as well as crawdads, baby bullhead catfish, sunfish and other forage items. If there is enough food in a lake there will be big fish. Anglers and regulations are not the source of the problems.
You can always tell an opinionated person. You just can't tell them much. When their minds are made up you only confuse them by offering facts.
