Thanks for the story. I just don't have the patience to sit in one spot all day for one bite. The persistence and dedication it takes to do that has paid off for you.

Did you target this lake with a plan of action in place to grind it out?

One more question: Why did you choose 12 pound line to fish the jig? Is there a lot of cover where you are fishing or is it open water?

Kiowa was mentioned only as a quality comparison. There was no intent to imply that he was fishing at Kiowa.

Mississippi has a number of small lakes intensively managed for gamefish. Some are "sleeper" lakes with respect to big bass. While a lake may be known for its catfish or panfish, there are sometimes quiet/discrete trophy bass fishermen having a good time also...

Okhissa had been so low it was closed for some time. It was also out of balance and had a lot of small bass. I lost track of where that lake stands now as far as management goes. If they have started over, a hey-day for that lake is coming in the future, after a proper growth period.

Okissa is no longer state funded though I hear they trying to round up some $ to restock the lake, It has some big head fish with no belly, that lake needs big bait fish.

Looks like Calling Panther is pumping them pig's out huh.
