    Big fish are floating on Okeechobee

    Just saw a video posted on another site. North end of Okeechobee many 8-10 pound bass dead. Just going to be the start of it I am sure. Sad state.

    Damnit...how incredibly sad and frustrating.

    Saw another video provided by the guy that took the video you shared. Here is a screenshot. He said there were 3 miles of this stuff....

    Hez, can you post a FB link?

    The video is on Kail Stevens FB page. Guy seems to be a helluva stick on the Big O!

    Okeechobee will be the next Lake Apopka. Our government is way too stupid to learn from past mistakes.

    Saw the same thing 2 years ago out in front of Uncle joes cut towards the islands, then saw 3 boats out there draggin nets. I think its pretty common by-catch kill there by those net boats.

    Someone much smarter than me needs to explain this! I can only think the immense amount of rain we’ve had the last month created a lot of fertilized runoff water that lead to a nitrogen spike...am I even close?

    No, the immense amount of spraying has created a cesspool, are you new to this state?

    Their were net boats seen in the area around the same time so theres a real good chance that was from it. If you've ever met those guys they laugh at how many 8-11 pounders they get in those nets in the summer. All those fish floating have bright white bellies
