Biggest bass, 5 lbs out of saratoga lake in NY
TO GDN443:
I dunno if youve ever fished here before but...I've fished out of champlain 3 times, two times at ticonderoga and one time at crown point. If you like large mouths, head to ticonderoga and launch there. The bass fishing is amazing. If you can get there early enough or stay till sundown while the water is calm, i highly suggest a top water lure called "top knocker". I keep talking about this in all my posts but its just amazing...my last time there was last saturday and we got there a little late so the water wasnt really all that calm but around 3 or 4pm, the wind finaly died down and my first cast with the top knocker, i land a 4 pound 6 ouncer...so i take my pic, let him go, next cast, i land 3 lb 11 ouncer...so i take my pic with him and let em go, next cast a 4 lber...unfortuanatley, the wind started up and the water became a little too choppy and we couldnt stay for the wind to die down again because we had a two hour ride home. The place is loaded with pike, i landed a 27 incher, 22 incher, and i had another one that i was fighitng with for a good 15-20 seconds before i finaly lost my favorite spinner bait[

Heres some pics of my big bassies out of champlain [
