    So maybe this will be a good change of pace. I was thinking about the Babe Winkelman episode where he was Smallmouth fishing with Greg Miller and a guide. My million dollar question is what lake was that show taped on? I have a thought but I doubt I am correct. Hopefully someone knows.

    If they’re telling the truth, lake main/mayne/something like that, in northern Wisc.

    My thought was that they were on the Pike Lake Chain by Iron River. but you have no idea how much I am wrong on a daily basis!

    I remember watching the show (twice) and don’t remember them saying the name on the tv show, which should be the same footage??? I think they were on a bunch of smaller lakes and then typically they don’t say. I do know that I was going to stop the tape on the shot of the gps mapping and see if I could figure it out from that… But I will tell you that there are a ton of lakes in that area that they could have been on.

    I watched it again this morning and they don’t say for sure. I did stop the tape and I can’t tell which lake we are looking at. I spent quite a bit of time on Google maps and I am unsure. If nothing else it is a fun project!

    I have been going nuts trying to figure that one out to and I don’t live anywhere close to that area so it is next to impossible for me. I am a smallie nut and treat smallies with the utmost respect they deserve. I am in SE Iowa and we just don’t have any to speak of. I try to devote one week a year to chase them and hope to get it done within the next month or so. I would love to know where that lake is but understand him not wanting to give it out. Does anyone have a lake they can suggest for me to try? I was thinking I read somewhere sometime about a lake in Wisconsin that was a catch and release only lake. I was thinking that could be lots of fun. I would never kill a smallie to mount/ Strictly CPR! Thanks for the help guys!

    You might want to think of the Bay of Green Bay for smallies.
