Video posted on Facebook today showing 3 miles of dead fish at Okeechobee. Anybody else hearing reports of fish kills?

Yeah when Kissimmee was down in the early 90s Walk In Water was the ticket! Huge mats of hydrilla in the middle and so many big bass. I actually went with 5 friends and we did a live bait day. I never use shiners but that day we all boated fish 8+ and with 3 boats we each went through 4 dozen shiners before noon.
3 people caught 11+...not me, I didn’t catch anything bigger than a 9 pounder that day.
I really want to go back there but theres simply no reason now. Seeing this kill in Okeechobee makes me sick

For sure Cass, That place was awesome. My buddies won a tournament with I think 108 boats. One of their names was Cass as well. That place was so awesome. I had 10.18 for big fish on a Saturday, Sunday 10.23 beat my out. I still won but lost big fish of the year. So many lakes my 12, 5 and 4 year old may never get to experience.

Okeechobee is ok
I agree with this so much! My daughter is 14 and caught her first bass in our golf course ponds. She’s used to catching 4 and 5 pounders and lost an 8 by trying to pull it out of the water on a KVD 1.5
She thinks I’m supposed to catch 8 pounders every time I go out...talk about pressure!
She won’t even go to lakes in the boat now because we catch so many big fish out of these tiny ponds....I’m wondering the same thing myself sometimes!
I do know the lakes I used to catch 10+ pounders in the late 80s and 90s just don’t produce the same fish today.
When I got back into bass fishing seriously a couple years ago I had 20 years worth of useless notes, had to start all over, but they’re still out there!

Not worth your money to even think about fishing the O... Shallow, lots of rocks, no grass, 95° water temps.... I was hitting the lake pretty much every weekend until they started spraying real heavily in about February. Sure there are a few who can still sack em, but for the average man chasing a giant, Okeechobee is no longer that lake
