Got to the lake about 5:30pm and started trolling with a wedding ring and power bait first hour we only caught 2 14" trout then started trying for bass along the shoreline and first cast had a 2lb LMB and from there it was LMB and SMB none stop fish on the jig pumpkin color the SMB ranged from 7-14" 1-2lb range more so on the smaller side the LMB were 2-4lb range, also caught a bunch of blue gills to small to mess with in the 4"-6" diameter range but they sure put up a fight for so small, The bass were stellar performance coming out of the water and flapping around no comparison to the trout we caught which were kind of docile.

The warmer water sure slow the trout down this time of year, but pump those bass up. Good report, but I am sure the F & W are not happy to see that the Bass are doing so well in Badger again. Was it just 10 years ago they killed off Badger because of the Bass? I suppose that this is one lake that we would do well to keep all legal bass we catch (check out the liberal limits on SMB espceiclly in the regs.)

We all know poisoning out a lake is only temporary.

So many of our wonderful lakes are connected to other lakes via streams.

And a total kill IMO is impossible.

I caught a real nice LMB at Badger. Thick, Fat, but in the slot that needed to be turned lose.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for catch and release, but a man has to eat from time to time.

I bet I have released 10 times more fish this year than I have kept.

but man did that LMB look tasty!
