[QUOTE="WTM, post: 5052763, member: 6230"] its not dead, we just had a couple of years spawn failures, just like the crappie. 2017 was the best spawn year for LMB that has been seen on KY and Barkley since theyve kept records on spawn success and keeps in my prediction 2 years ago that 2021 and 2022 we will see a lot of keeper LMB. the problem with most folks perception is from the 2008 spawn and the amount of large bass we had in the lake up to around 2017. the problem is the failed spawns we had after 2008 and there were no fish to replace the 2008 spawners when they end of lifed last year. the same was said about white crappie 4 years ago and everyone was coming up with all minds of cocka maimy ideas about carp eating shad, fry, etc. it was partly the carp due to their spawn that one year but it was mainly due bad hydrology of severe wet springs and two back to back winter kills. but like anything in nature, rrproduction is usually above average after big kills. the crappie have bounced back as the 2015 spawned fish are showing up and even a 3.5 pounder was caught out of the big sandy recently. after all that said, folks will still need to think outside the box to find fish because the carp will definately move and disrupt gamefish.
