The best smallmouth bass lake in the world!

  • In my book I wrote a chapter about what I felt was the best smallmouth bass lake in the world. In the book, I titled the Chapter Lake X, and told the story of how at the end of the day I had decided not to tell people the name and location of that lake because I was afraid it would get destroyed. When I signed my network deal for Real Bragging Rights I knew right away that I wanted to go back to Lake X with none other than the guy who took me there originally, Tony Difilipo, and the greatest smallmouth fisherman of all time Greg Mangus.
    Greg is a legend in the world of smallmouth for a technique that he calls "finesse fishing fast". In this episode of my show I get a real lesson in that technique, and Greg gives me probably the worst butt whoopin I've ever taken on the water. It's a great episode with a lot of useful information for anyone who ever wanted to catch the smallmouth of a lifetime. It's Northern Michigan. Pure Smallmouth.

    Jim, love your videos! Was that a 4” Yamamoto hula grub Greg was using? What was the color? Hula grubs aren’t as popular now as they were a few years back but they are consistent smallmouth catchers. I never fish Lake Erie without them. Make a video at Presque Isle Bay some time.

    There was dead giveaways in the video about location's, but i did enjoy watching the attempts to throw people off from were you were actually fishing. I grew up 20 minutes south of Mackinaw City, familiar with the lakes you were fishing. Another banger is Douglass lake if you ever have an opportunity to fish that along with Trout Lake in the U.P

    Lake X... Idk why people act like that on a PUBLIC lake. It's Mullet lake, or Burt Lake that's connected to Mullet lake. That boat launch is on the east side of the lake and it's open to ANYONE! Go catch some big smallest but take pics and throw them back for the next guy
