SMALLMOUTH BASS FISHING AT ITS BEST

Lake Kabetogama has long been known as one of the best walleye lakes in the state of Minnesota.....and for
a good reason. State Fishery officials have often said if they had to list the definition of a great walleye structure lake in the Webster dictionary, they would put Kabetogama in as the gold standard. Over the
years, fishermen who have fished this lake know that statement is true. But, in the midst of all of the talk
about the walleye and northern pike fishery, the smallmouth bass fishing on Kabetogama is often overlooked. Shhhhh....don't tell anyone this is one of the best smallmouth lakes in all of Minnesota. Whether it is a trip
out on the lake with the kids or that avid bass fisherman from Tennessee, guests have discovered that
this species is doing well in Kabetogama and they are a blast to catch. And special thanks to Dad
(photos #4 & 9) who always figures out just how and just where to catch these beautiful fish. And congratulations to guest Kent Keeler of Marshalltown, IA (photo right and #3) on winning the 2007 Biggest Smallie in the Kabetogama Ash River Fishing Contest!
