Today was a super nice day at the lake only thing missing the topwater.... can't wait till the lake opens next month... see you there bud 👍

Top water was there if you know where to go. I got 20 on the popper, didn’t try anything else cause it was too much fun. Ended up @50 and a nice 4 and 5s on ...

Well done folks.

Thanks for the report! Can’t wait for opening. What was the water level like? Higher than when it closed last year?

Hey all! It is that time of year again, finally!
Last year prior to the end of the Barrett Season I went about getting a private fishing day for a nonprofit that I do hundreds of hours of volunteer time per year. The Educational Martial Arts System. It gives ...

Nice event it sounds like. If you do it again can I be added to the list?

Awesome day my brotha super nice video ....... one thing I did notice this time at barrett was like no other ..... no arguments, no bitterness everyone was happy to be there... 1st time I can actually say I caught over 70 fish in a day, stop counting around noon at 50 , and 1st time I can say a day ...

Thanks for reminding me!

Great video, might be your best one yet?
Lake looks great, great fishing, great weather........ Awesome, happy for you!

That is a great video and captures the spirit of the day!! Have to add the black crappie bite was on too and what pretty fish!! And the 11 pounder was girthy!! Fortunate to catch her before she spawned out at least a pound lol. Thanks again Chris and we can’t wait to participate again.

Great video Chris! Thanks again for the invite. Awesome day of fishing and seeing everyone!

Great video and a great day on the water with a group of nice folks. Thanks for putting that all together.

Wasn’t the entry fee or cost to attend (fish) was about $300-$400 and was that per person or per boat?


There are a number of private fundraiser events scheduled before the opener. They went from $250 per person up to $3000 for a package. That was not what I wanted to do. I wanted to raise money ...

Awesome video! I had so much fun at the event and can’t wait for next year!

Hey, so how does one get on that list!
What a fun time for everyone. That's the kind of bite we're all hoping for next month.

I think the lake is going to continue to be awesome this year.

How do you like that prop on your trolling motor? Thought about trying one.

Heck yeah Dan! Nice job on Bass, Crappie and Bluegill!
Tight lines always amigo.

Nice! Those crappie are big there. Healthy looking bass. No top water? I know @early release moves a lot and now he has a emotor. No telling where he went. @CorsoEnthusiast gets around. Haven't fished with @pourboy yet, maybe someday.

Great looking catch Dannicus!! At this time of the year, 28 is no slouch.

Just wanted to share a pic of a Barrett beauty caught today and PB by the way. Started at 4:40am fishing with my nephew. Ended the day with well over 50 between both of us. All clones 2-3 lb range and many dinks. All on DS, nedrig, small swim baits and occasional senko.
