fishinwrench Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I get a little disappointed when I land a Kentucky. Not sure why, but I'll prolly never shake it. Mitch f 1

Probably because they stack up together by nature. When you have one of those magical days on the rock typically it's a majority of Kentucky's in feeding frenzy mode. You can get into a nice school of smallies that are locked onto the bottom eating crawdads and tear them up on a jig or ned but nothing like a huge pack of spots that are fired up from the top to the bottom of the water column. That's been my experience and that is coming from the dam area section of the lake. Could be different in the river arms. Only time I get disappointed is when I think I stuck a good one its a trash fish...aka a big whitebass or dumb fish with whiskers. Not that I don't appreciate them giving my line a tug and their effort but it's an emotional let down.

I enjoy fishing for all three with equal enthusiasm. I don't hold one as being superior to all others. Anyone that does, in my opinion, is short changing himself. It matters because spotted bass in Table Rock and spotted bass in our Ozark streams are not the same situation.

What a goofball argument to have even for OAF...it must be january "smallmouths are better....no spots....no smallies...no spots!!!!!" I don't think anybody said they didn't like brownies. Or said that spots were better. And your right, they're all delicious!

That's because they just don't get that big on LOZ (Or in our streams). 3 lbs seems to be the max on LOZ and I'd venture to say very few over 4 lbs are caught. I have yet to hear of one over 5 out of LOZ. I do enjoy catching them when they get into that 16-17" range

You'd hate to put a kid on a Gasconade smallmouth without proper training. One thing I forgot to ask, if the Neosho is such a POS, laughable fish, why did the MSA raffle off a guided trip for them? And why is that guide coming to the monthly get together for club members to talk about how to catch them?
