They RUINED my FAVORITE LAKE! (It's OVER for Lake Chatuge)

In Today's video my great friend Ty Lowe hopped in the boat for some awesome fishing on one of my favorite lakes to fish, Lake Chatuge! We were having a great day smashing them and then when I noticed there was an air boat that had hoses and sprayers on it and I noticed they were spraying the aquatic grass. I know in other fisheries spraying grass really hurts the bio diversity and usually ruins the lake because it kills the very habitat that the big bass live in. In this case I actually think it won't affect the lake because the lake is a spotted bass fishery filled with herring. The fish do not really relate to the grass, they roam open water chasing bait fish 99% of the time and relate to off shore terrain features more than shallow vegetation. Enjoy the video as we absolutely crush'em!

Man Chatuge is the best lake we have been too yet! When Bray had his tournament 2 weeks ago we just kept catching 2-15s and needed a 3-0 to cull all day long

Definitely a special place!

Quoting Coach Prime huh lol! Look good, feel good, feel good play good, play good and they pay good

This particular grass is a very fast growing invasive grass. It can stick to your boat and spread to other lakes. As someone who enjoys fishing the shallow headwaters of the neighboring lake, I hope they keep it contained.

I'm with you. As fisherman, we should be at least a little aware of conservation issues but 99%+ of us aren't. I 100% get why guys would get upset with spraying aquatic vegetation but we are low man on the totem pole when it comes to reservoir management. Even if the vegetation being treated isn't invasive it can cause other issues.

Man, I have followed you for a few years since you were on a few podcasts with Epic Eric, and fishing is one of the tightest bonds people can have, but I don’t know how so many people who love fishing wanna bash a “liberal” we are in some dangerous times in our nation and I think we should find things that unite us over things that divide us.💖💜💖

I was kidding, I said it was a joke lol.

[@GC-gj9dp]

I hate it when they spray the grass

[@Frostin_Austin]

We’ll see what happens.
