Yep, I'll bet it was the only bass in the lake too. I'll bet that it
has never spawned before either. I'll bet that Warren single handedly
destroyed the future of this lake. How will it ever recover?

From what I saw first hand, it doesn't appear that years of bed
fishing have hurt this fishery at all. Generalizations generally do
not apply to all situations. Treat each fishery as an individual and
manage it accordingly. It looks to me like this private fishery has
been managed just fine.

My 2 cents...
