Bass Fishing Inland Lakes & Rivers / Little Muskrat Lake, Big Large...
Last post by djkimmel - August 07, 2025, 02:57:08 PMOn July 13, 2025 I was fishing tiny Muskrat Lake flipping a 10-inch junebug Power worm when a big ole Michigan largemouth bass decided to eat it and try hard not to come into the boat!
What a short, but very fun tug of war we had! This respectable bass weighed 6 pounds, 2 ounces! I got it in the boat on video and then a couple quick pictures and released still feisty back into the lake for someone else to try for it!

Last post by Chewy - May 31, 2025, 06:29:34 PMLooking for someone in Southwest Michigan that repairs guides. I have an old rod that I don't to throw out because I have had it for so long. The guide about 4 down from the tip broke off. I need a new guide and wrap. I used to take mine to The Outdoorsman in Jenison but the gentleman who used to do it for them has retired. Any help is appreciated.
