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 left and #3) on winning the
2007 Biggest Smallie in the Kabetogama Ash River Fishing Contest!
