Um Newel isn’t Wab and no the big pike aren’t always in a lake...
I love how there are always random people on the internet that have never fished a lake that will argue it is probably as good as it used to be when all the people that used to fish the lake almost every weekend argue otherwise. You guys should go work for fisheries if you don’t already, you would fit in perfectly...
You can see the beginning of the decline when comparing 2015 netting,

To 2013 netting,

I wish they would hurry up and net it again, guess they are waiting until the lake has a chance to recover.
