After years of putting it off (it's a long drive, 180 miles one way to launch mid-lake), I made my first trip to Lake Champlain last year, and ever since then, I've had "land on or near Champlain" at the top of my vision board (always nice to have clear goals to work towards!). That lake is something else. I wish I had started fishing it sooner, but I could only do day trips for the longest time, and I was worried about doing a long drive like that. This year, I've been back 5 times already, and the most recent trip was incredible. Over 70 bass in the boat, had 18+ lbs on our best 5 smallies alone, hit 20 lbs on our best 5 largemouth alone, and just hit 21 lbs on our best 5 combined bag. Haven't made a ton of videos this year, but really happy with this one and the day that we had.
