never know there is some nice fish in the lake, use to be 2 lakes yrs. ago. but just like any other lake you never know whats in it. there are some hawgs in it i know ive watch a guys few yrs. ago hook one that all he could do is let it run drag and got him up into the ropes that used to run across the middle of the lakes. (prev. owners)

if the water is treated and fish handled with care they will live and die of old age. So please do some research before you post negative remarks on the site. Proper management will allow a fish to live for a long long time. Hickory for example has fish over a hundred pounds they are few and far between if they die would they still have em ? Hickory takes care of the fish and they live on.

proper amounts of food, disolved oxygen, handling of fish, and structure in any lake is a healthy environment - the fish don't know that it is a paylake and they are supposed to die? I would have to think that some paylakes have tagged fish that have been caught from year-to-year.

we have fish in our lake that have tags. there have been many fish caught this year that have tags dating back to 2003,2004 and 2005. Proper lake and fish management is the key.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhh It is so refreshing to see that some of the people on here are actually educated people, with a little common sence. Other than a few of my close friends ( you guys know who you are) alot of the guys on here only want to throw out bias, and ridiculous opinions and accusations. Thank you for giving me hope in this site. You guys rock.

Just now saw this thread and I know what probably happened. My brother was fishing and he broke his pole right above the handle setting the hook. He's convinced he hooked into the 100 pounder that was put in here a few years ago. So, he wrote on the chalk board that the 100 pounder lives. Thats probably what someone saw. If someone catches one, I'll definitely let you guys know!

i have been paylaking for 10 years and river fishing for 6 and i am college educated sinclair community college but it's still a college. for my point alot of people think cats reproduce in paylakes they wont and im not saying fish wont live for years in a paylake smaller ones will but when your talking about big blues and i mean 60+ your lucky if they make it one season. big blues need current to live, lakes where these fish live for years are lakes like kentucky lake santee these lakes have rivers running into them santee has the canal. these also come out of deep water anybody that fishes the river knows shallows for shovels deep holes for blues. so when you take a blue from 60 feet of water and put it in 20 what happens it dies. as for bighickory prove me wrong all these big fish your seeing have been put in this year.

well, i might not be "college educated" but i would have to say that you are wrong. we have some nice blues in the fifty's that have been in our lake since we stocked them in '05. Also, why does everyone give Rob so much crap? i have talked to Rob a few times and he's a fine guy. yes, he has big fish, and no, they don't die every year.

Dear college educated;
Take some time and do some research on the topic of catfish spawning in pay lakes. According to the ODNR reports catfish in pay lakes do reproduce in pay lakes. Catfish must remain in their current environment for a complete cycle of seasons. Even then they all do not reproduce. All catfish will go though motions of the spawn. Catfish in the wild do not have a productive spawn every year. Catfish are very acceptable to different weather and environment change that will aid or hinder the spawn, in pay lakes or wild. Proper maintenance of conditions will help. And as for the negatives directed to any pay lake owner, take the time to talk to em and find out their management procedures. Start your own pay lake and set the standards for us all or keep your UNEDUCATED and lack of proper research to yourself!

gee i see a trend all the pay lakes owners saying im wrong, well no hard feelings if i was a owner i'd want everyone to think my fish lived for ever too. but anyone who paylakes alot knows the fish don't last long thats why you have to put in 3 or 4 or 5 loads in each each it's called reloading and most of it is from winter kill. im not bashing any one ive never fished double, big reds , hickory, springwater, i have fished ez i mainly fish cp2,willdards,river. i know the around my neck of the woods they all lie about what they put in and what they have had die,which i dont blame them they are there to make money so if you put in 3 60lb fish and 2 die within a couple of weeks of course if no one sees that it's dead why tell them. just like the 70lb shovel at cp2 busted jar once and now is dead call out there i bet you they say it's still alive. this site to share info and im letting guys know which alot already know fish die in paylakes nothing wrong with it it's just part of the game but to try to make people think your fish live for 5 to 10 is'nt right becuase some will beleive it, if it was true you would only need to 1 or 2 loads in every 5 years. that does'nt happen because they die and you must reload. sorry if i pissed any one off i won't comment on this thread any more. fish on!

Your education was obviously not in wild life management. You have an opinion as does everyone. But you are dead wrong. I have fish caught for years, and can prove it. From whatever you have been told, and or experienced. You are mislead. Opinions vary greatly, but stating them as facts just makes you look foolish.
