Fishing the World's #1 Lake that You've Probably NEVER Heard of...

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!

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.

[@wildhareonthegulfofmexico3539]

Warms my heart to know this place is out there in the age of internet. May it stay that way.

My man Joey! Looks like you, Matt, and Tim won't have it all to yourselves in early spring anymore

Awesome video as usual. btw those are Bull Trout, they are genetically different from Dolly Varden trout which are native to sea run streams and rivers.

I grew up a few hours away from there. Beautiful country. I live further south now but definitely want to get back up there for some fishing. Love the fishing content in this video but just seeing the scenery was amazing for me.

You're up in my neck of the woods. Thats my all time favorite lake to fish!!! I caught a 9lb 4oz smalley there a couple years ago. Cant wait for the tournament this year. Great fishing though and hope you had a blast. If you want to hit a few more good lakes around there sometime hit me up.

[@MillikenFishing]

Appreciate you watching! Would love if you’d shoot my a DM on FB or IG and we could check out some of those other lakes 👍🏻👍🏻

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.

I moved to Texas because 2 of my businesses are located here and so I can fish open water year round. I can't speak for anyone else.

" naaa..4 pounder." I guessed it! 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! 😀❤️

[@1999tenorio]

@Pure Cars that's awesome. do you need a boat ?

[@1999tenorio]

@Pure Cars yeah all I have is a small jon boat at the moment. do you think the rise in quality smallmouth is from the Goby infestation? They do love those ugly little things.

Would never say where u are bud,but i know!

They were in like friggin 200ft of water.killer lake though!

[@MightyGandolf]

I know where thats at and like others have said it's a tough lake to figure out. It does have monster small mouths but I personally ain't catch much the few times I tried fishing the lake.
