UK reacts to playing with NBA stars Players learn moves, work ethic from professionals By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
Not many people stop LeBron James. So when Anthony Davis said he, Michael KiddGilchrist and Terrence Jones, who switched off turns trying to stop a man who NBA defenders have trouble guarding, “kind of” stopped James when he swung through UK to play
pickup with the players, that’s pretty impressive. But it did come with a clarifier. “But you know, it’s LeBron,” Davis said. “So he’s still going to score.” The plethora of NBA stars who stopped by Lexington as the lockout continues benefited UK in a variety of ways. For Davis, who admits he is uncomfortable down low, he
learned some low-post moves from the best. “I’ve been working out with DeMarcus (Cousins) and Nazr (Mohammed),” Davis said. “They’re showing me some new shots, post moves.” Freshman point guard Marquis Teague reiterated the same thought, as he went up against the likes of Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics and Russell West-
NBA players and largely held their own, although he hedged how much could be taken from that. “It’s hard to really say,” Jones said. “It’s hard to compare them in an open gym against what they really play like in the NBA.” Doron Lamb said he guarded Kevin Durant and James Harden from the Thunder. As for Kyle Wiltjer, the return of former UK players shows exactly the type of
brook of the Oklahoma City Thunder. “Rondo’s more of a true point guard. He doesn’t score a lot, but he can score if he needs to,” Teague said, whose brother Jeff plays for the Atlanta Hawks. “Russell Westbrook is coming at you every time. He’s not backing off at all, not easing up. He’s trying to dunk it on you or score on you every single play.” Terrence Jones said UK competed hard against the

Groups celebrate ‘Coming Out’ By Corey Elam news@kykernel.com
The rain didn’t stop UK’s Gay Straight Alliance from hosting their annual “Coming Out Day.” GSA and OUTsource members had their door up and ready at 10 a.m. Thursday. T-shirts and free buttons were handed out to visitors. Free food, as well as face and finger nail painting were part of the event. Despite the weather, students stopped by throughout the day to show their support for the LGBT community in Lexington. Sophomores India Stewart and Scout Noffke came to spread awareness of the gay pride community on campus, but also to celebrate their one-month anniversary. “It’s really important to show support for your own community as much as you can,” Stewart said. The AIDS Volunteer Organization (AVOL) also had members at the Student Center. The organization serves the Eastern Kentucky region with counseling and support, as well as free testing for those infected or affected by HIV/AIDS, Members spread the word about their local initiative, “Dining Out for Life,” which will take place on Nov. 30. The initiative is a joint effort with Lexington companies. Proceeds from participating locations will go toward their cause. “It’s important that people acknowledge how much it helps people suffering with this disease,” said Terrance Tishenor, member of AVOL. Breanne Weaver, a senior and member of GSA, said the university community is eager to help. “People know this is a gay-friendly campus, and we have plenty of ways to See GSA on page 2
family atmosphere John Calipari is trying to build. Wiltjer said the current UK group is already close, and seeing Calipari offer staff positions to Rondo and Mohammed if they choose to return to school, as he did Thursday, reinforces that. “This is one of the closest teams I’ve played on,” Wiltjer said. “And then seeing all the NBA guys come back, it’s pretty amazing that they’re comfortable See NBA on page 2

Keeneland will give away $20,000 in scholarships at its annual College Scholarship Day Friday.
Keeneland is holding College Scholarship Day on Friday, Oct. 14. Students are encouraged to attend the event, which happens once each meet. This season, in honor of Keeneland’s 75th anniversary, $20,000 in scholarships will be given away—doubling the amount from previous years. Full-time students with a college I.D. receive free admission. Live music, free food and prize drawings are included. A free T-shirt will be given away to the first 1,000 students to register. Gates open at 11 a.m. and post time for the first race is 1:15 p.m.
UK admissions standards rising By Danielle Kaye news@kykernel.com
Academic requirements are on the rise for students applying to UK. The Institutional Research, Planning, and Effectiveness is a strategic partner with UK. According to their website, the average ACT score for incoming freshmen has steadily risen since 2006 – 2007. “The average composite ACT score of the freshmen 2011 class is 25.5, up from 25.2 last year,” said Michelle Nordin, student services director, in an email to the Kernel. The increase in admissions
standards is not a coincidence. It is in part due to the goal that UK set for the “top 20 by 2020,” Nordin said. “The University’s Strategic Plan for 2009-2014 calls for us to enroll more high-ability students from all societal segments,” she said. As UK’s admission standards are increasing, so are the requirements for high school students in Kentucky. Part of the assessment for high school seniors is a College Career Readiness component, according to Sally Adams, a guidance counselor at Lafayette High School.
High school juniors enrolled in public schools in Kentucky are required to take the ACT for state assessment, Adams said. Local high schools are offering ACT preparation programs for high school students. UK offers a program for high school students through the Division of Undergraduate Education. Although ACT and SAT scores are important, they’re not the sole determinate in acceptance to the university, Nordin said. High school schedule, leadership activities, essay questions and letters of recommendation are now playing a role in the admission
process. The increased rigor of the application process has resulted in a decrease in the freshmen class size for 2011 by about 200 students. According to a chart from UK’s Office of Institutional Research, the average GPA for freshmen in the fall of 2009 was 2.82. Students are being chosen through a more demanding application process. The university is striving to attract “more top students from within the state of Kentucky and beyond, including undergraduate international students,” Nordin said.
Freshmen ready for Madness Class urges students Players preview what they have in store for the fans By Sam Rothbauer srothbauer@kykernel.com
Two weeks ago, fans in tents surrounded the perimeters of Memorial Coliseum to camp out for Big Blue Madness. Friday has arrived, and those same fans will flock to Rupp Arena. After seeing the 550 plus tents, freshmen got their first taste of the fan base that worships UK basketball. “Coming outside the Lodge to see hundreds of fans camping out to watch a free practice is unbelievable,” freshman forward Kyle Wiltjer said. With all this attention, the Cats are beginning to see how important UK basketball is. The star status is “hitting” them.
“It’s hitting me now because all this attention right now, it’s just crazy,” freshman forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist said. The freshmen summarized Tent City in one word: “Crazy.” “I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. They were out there for a week,” freshman guard Marquis Teague said. “We were bringing them food and stuff. They were talking about how cold it was and they were still standing out there. I couldn’t do it.” Teague said the fan base served as motivation to perform well. They make them “work hard every day.” Teague has an understanding for what fans expect of the Cats. “They’re die-hard. They’re serious about this, so we should take

it seriously too,” he said. Sophomore transfer Ryan Harrow said this is a big adjustment from N.C. State. “As soon as I saw those people out there I called my mom,” Harrow said. “They were waiting out here for three and four days out here for tickets that are free. It was crazy and it just shows how much they really want us to do well and how much they support us.” Regardless of the fans following relentlessly at every move, the freshmen aren’t feeling much pressure. “We don’t look at it as pressure,” Wiltjer said. “We’re just going to go out every night and play as hard as we can.” Head coach John Calipari See MADNESS on page 2

to think about futures A&S 350 to be offered again in spring By Jen Taylor news@kykernel.com
Most people entering the work force have spent between 17 to 22 years of their lives devoted to preparing for their future careers, according to UK professor Gregory Bocchino. In response, Bocchino developed A&S 350, a course designed to help students think critically about their career options. According to Kelly Higgins, an instructor for the course, the MyersBriggs Type Indicator is an assessment used to increase self-awareness and discover personality types. StrengthsQuest is another as-

sessment used in the course to identify students’ top five strengths. These strengths can be utilized in school, work and everyday social life, Bocchino said. “I have had students that implemented their strengths into their resume and interviews, giving specific examples of individual strengths and explaining how they have demonstrated them,” Higgins said. Gordy Hoagland, a senior taking the course this semester, said one of the assignments he found most eyeopening was one that asked students to list between 20-25 big events in their lives. That information was used for See CLASS on page 2

thinks this kind of behavior from fans is something the Cats have to get used to, whether they like it or not. “You come here, you have to want this,” he said. “That's what you want, that's why you come to Kentucky. If you don't want this kind of stuff, you don't come here, you just don't.” The Cats are excited to play in front of fans for the first time this year before season starts. “I think everybody’s going to put on a show, so we want to just want to have fun, freshman forward Anthony Davis said. “Marquis (Teague) wanted me to let him dunk on me, but I told him no, I can’t do that. This is going to be on ESPN. I can’t let you do that.” Calipari said UK planned to rehearse for Madness Thursday night. “So we are going to go down and have a practice (Thursday) and then we'll do a rehearsal so they will know and they will be comfortable in what they have to do,” Calipari said. With the John Wall Dance from 2009 and Enes Kanter’s Undertaker getup from last year’s Big Blue Madness, this year’s squad is brainstorming who will be the talk of the campus after Friday night. Teague said that sophomore Ryan Harrow had the best dance moves, but UK fans can be expecting possible performances from sophomore guard Jarrod Polson, senior forward Eloy Vargas and sophomore guard Doron Lamb. “I may dance. I think the one that’s definitely dancing though, is J.P. (Polson),” Harrow said. “I saw his whole routine and everything.” But Harrow is more nervous dancing in front of 25,000 people than playing in front of them, obviously. “I know I can play, but the dancing they may think is a little crazy,” he said.
reflection, helping the students see what they like and what is important to them. Most people are not shocked when they find out their strengths, Bocchino said. Hoagland had considered sales before, and taking the A&S course helped him decide his major. “I love people and helping people, so I decided going into sales and interacting would be good for me,” Hoagland said. Along with learning individual strengths, the course asks students to think critically about their career choice. An important assignment in the course is to map out every detailed step that needs to be accomplished so students can reach their career goal, Bocchino said. Steps include getting letters of
recommendation from professors, applying to grad school and studying to take the GRE. “Many students know what they want to do,” he said. “This just enhances that.” The three-credit hour course, titled “Personal Strengths and Your Career Development,” has had positive feedback. The fall course filled up, so a 10-week course in October was added. It will be offered again in the spring. For arts and sciences majors, the class counts as a social sciences credit. The class will fill different requirements depending on the college. Hoagland suggested this course for anyone at UK, especially freshman. “I’m trying to get younger guys to take the class,” Hoagland said, “because it’s so helpful in deciding your future.”

On Nov. 18, GSA will host an event to promote transgender awareness on campus. “Coming Out Day and events like these are are great to show support, but it’s also a healing experience in some ways,” said Adam Schwartz, a freshman member of GSA. “It’s great getting to meet people who not only can relate with what you’re going through, but can help.” For more infomation about GSA, visit www.uky.edu/GetInvolved.
enough to come back, and see Coach Cal, and use our facilities. It’s a great family atmosphere.” Calipari loves having the players back in town (and potentially sportswriters, as Calipari quipped, since they don’t have an NBA to write about and the closest approximation is in Lexington). It shows his current team how much work goes into becoming a star, and it proves how much he cares about his players. “They are loyal to the program, to me personally,” Calipari said. “They know I’m loyal to them and they are not going to hurt the program.”

Blast from the past: SAB to play Disney movies By Danielle Kaye features@kykernel.com
On Saturday, Oct. 15, UK students can take a break from their hectic college life and return to a “whole new world.” The Student Activities
Board, in response to wild demand from students, will be hosting Disney Mania, a marathon of everyone’s favorite Disney movies. The event will be showing such classics as Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. Inspiration for the event came from an SAB survey where students were asked what kinds of movie marathons they would like to see on campus, said Brandon Pain, a committee chair for SAB. “It’s nice that SAB is offering students the opportunity to sit down and enjoy something simple,” freshman Ryan McDuffie said. The SAB committee thoroughly researched the movies that they believed students would enjoy the
‘Lone Ranger’ made into movie LOS ANGELES — “The Lone Ranger” is back in the saddle. The big-budget film starring Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as the title character will restart production Feb. 6, a person with knowledge of the situation said. Walt Disney Studios halted work on the modern retelling of the popular 1949 television western in August, citing budgetary concerns. The filmmakers had been asked to reduce the $250-million budget to reach the $200-million figure Disney had wanted to spend. A spokesman for the film studio did not respond to requests for comment; however, a person familiar with the situation said the project had been revived. The news was first reported by Deadline Hollywood.
GSA
Many details remain unclear, including the production budget for the film and the release date. The film originally was scheduled to reach theaters on Dec. 21, 2012. Depp has been the studio’s most bankable star in recent years, anchoring two films that reaped more than a billion dollars in worldwide box office — this summer’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and the 2010 film “Alice in Wonderland.” Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the team behind the first three “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, will be involved in the project. Verbinski previously clashed with Disney studio executives over cost overruns on the third installment of the “Pirates” franchise and did not direct the most recent sequel.
dle up and listen. Your view isn't the only one. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — A female shows you a missing puzzle piece. Don't gamble (except in love). Keep spending under control, and don't touch your savings. Do without one thing to gain another. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8 — You're smarter than usual for the next three weeks. Prioritize your obligations for best performance. Today's not necessarily great for romance, so entertain your intellect. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6 — Avoid unnecessary arguments, even as you teach others to appreciate your perspective. Give yourself permission for some privacy. Access silence for real peace. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — You're more industrious than before. There's an impulse to hurry, but there's no need for it. It's better to be methodical now and secure a job well done.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — Distractions abound. You may need to regroup and redefine your goals. Don't give up. The difficult part is just about over. Keep your eye on the mark. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5 — Take it slow today for healthiest results. Someone nearby may have a virus. You avoid mistakes with a slower pace, too. Leave travel and risks for another day. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7 — Keeping your long-term goals in mind, conserve resources to get there with the least expense. Make sure what you're building is solid. Love's extra sweet when money flows. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7 — You may feel very aware of limitations.

most from the vast arsenal of Disney classics and “picked three that we thought would represent the Disney that everyone loves,” said Pain. The event will kick off on Saturday, Oct. 15, in William T. Young auditorium at 2 p.m. Students will be taken on a “magic carpet ride” with Disney’s Aladdin showing first. The movie came out in 1992 and features Robin Williams as the famous genie. SAB will continue to ask students to “be our guest,” as Beauty and the Beast plays and students enjoy the free food offered throughout the event, and all should “be prepared” as the Mania closes with the Lion King, an appropriate finale as one of the highest grossing animated films of all time. “Watching movies from when you were younger brings up nostalgia. They also help keep your inner child alive and not grow up too fast,” said Keely Schaefer, a sophomore.

Occupy movement Occupy protesters identifies corruption are entitled to nothing By Tyler Hess opinions@kykernel.com
You have been victimized by corporations. You have been taken advantage of. Someway, somehow, a part of your life has been negatively impacted by the growing thievery of multi-national corporations. Are you burdened by student debt or outrageous credit card fees? Have you been denied basic healthcare or the right to vote? Have banks illegally foreclosed on your house? Unemployed or underemployed? Sickened by polluted food, air or water? Millions, if not billions, of people have been. And the people represented by these classifications and conditions are no longer being silent. People are taking to the streets. People are voicing their disgust at being under the boot of the corporate state. These human beings have been marginalized for decades, if not centuries. The majority of the American and global population, collectively being called the 99 percent, is angry. Have you seen the thousands of normal folk taking to the streets? Have you seen the multi-gender, multi-racial, multi-generational, and multi-grievance plethora of people paving the streets with their presence? Hundreds, thousands, and even tens of thousands are on street corners and in public parks across the country as you read this. These multitudes are pleading, screaming and protesting passionately in hundreds of major cities across the globe. New York City was where it started. And now it has spread. Cities joining the uprising include New Orleans, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Boston, London, Tel Aviv, Madrid, Cairo, Sydney and, for two weeks now, Lexington. It is a people — based movement. It is a growing movement calling for more than reform. We are calling for the restructuring of the system that has creatively been enslaving the 99percent for way, way too long. An occupation was called for; an occupation of Wall Street. The symbolism of this location that just spun through your mind is valid. And yet it is more than symbolism. Wall Street, and the encompassing financial institutions that the term implies, should be held responsible. Over $40 trillion dollars of wealth was stolen from the global economy in the financial crisis of 2008. Did you get to dip your hand in the jar? Were you, the working parent, the studying student or the
compassionate nurse the ones who benefited from this pillage? To the contrary, you may have been like my family. My mother's previously stable, self-owned and local business was almost crushed. And yet we continue on. The inequality grows. The poor languish. Meanwhile, the rich squirm in splendor. Watch the Academy Award winning documentary “Inside Job” if you'd like more specifics on the 2008 crisis. The point still stands that the 99 percent of us, who daily do more than financial speculation and corporate schmoozing, were looted. The 99 percent were plundered, ransacked, robbed. What other verbs or examples do you need in order to connect the ongoing multi-national corporate coup to your personal situation? The corruption has been laid bare. Politicians are bought and sold by the same mega-interests, regardless of what color or jersey they wear. During the first week of the Occupy Lexington movement, I protested and slept on the sidewalk out in front of Chase Bank on Main Street. On that corner I now write this column. But for this last week, I traveled to Washington D.C. and New York City. I witnessed thousands expressing themselves. I yelled, but I also listened. I listened to so many stories. I heard stories of healthcare-less, and now dead, children. I heard stories of mentally fragmented veterans. I heard stories of students permanently in debt; students like me, just wanting to get an education. I heard stories of pension-less elders. I heard stories of 21st century wage slavery. These stories show that the minimum wage is in no way a living wage. I grieved, cheered and listened to stories from fellow humans who have been both physically and metaphorically beaten down. The stories could continue. But elaborating on the experiences will be saved for another column. For now, all I plead for is your participation. You — your mind, hands, legs — are needed. The people's uprising needs you. Take a part in creating your future. Stop letting yourself be controlled. Once we separate ourselves from the commoditized image the corporate state sees us as, the capacity for human potential we each have can be unleashed. Look us up online if you wish. Then come join us. We'll be here. Tyler Hess is a sustainable agricultural junior. Email opinions@kykernel.com.

Occupy Wall Street. End 'Corporatocracy'. Show those greedy corporations who's boss. Stand up for your rights! This has been the mantra of the "99 percent" in the Occupy Wall Street movement. I wonder how many of these protesters have cell phones, laptops, cameras or clothes from stores like Gap. I wonder how many own a car from a foreign or domestic producer. I wonder how often they use Google. The idea that big corporations are evil and that profit is a dirty word is ludicrous. The late Steve Jobs is a shining example of the American entrepreneurial spirit. He revolutionized an entire industry based solely on consumer demand and innovation. According to an Oct. 13 Vancouver Sun article, "J.P. Morgan underwrote the company's 1980 initial
public offering of shares.” The irony of the situation is apparently lost on protestors. Business and profit drive America's economy. Demanding that these businesses be brought down is demanding the destruction of America. A college degree does not entitle one to a six-figure job, 'free' healthcare or a luxury car. It does not entitle you to tell others that their success is wrong or evil. It is no one's business if a CEO of a Fortune 500 company drives a nice car, or has a private jet. The production of these luxuries provides jobs. America's economy is not a zero-sum competition; one person's success does not make another poor. A job is not a human right. And Steve Jobs didn't make billions by protesting life's inequalities. Morgen Wells is a journalism and history sophomore. Email opinions@kykernel.com.

Putting trophies in the boat Club sport went to national competition and made program history, finishing eighth in Forrest L. Wood fishing tour.

The world of competitive fishing is intense and time consuming. Those things, however, do not stop the UK fishing team from getting in the thick of it. “Rolling out of bed at 4 a.m. and fishing all day against top-notch competition is not an easy task,” said team president Adam Bryant. “Especially on the lakes, we don’t have the opportunity to fish often, but we enjoy the challenge.” The goal is to catch largemouth bass, which can be found in most any lake in this region. Typically, the rules will allow for each boat to keep their top five bass according to weight in a single day. Total weight for the event wins, and that team can take home a substantial amount of loot. The Forrest L. Wood tour is where the big money is. “First place can be anywhere from ten thousand to one hundred thousand dollars, depending on how far into the post-season we go,” said Bryant. “The FLW is an organization that puts on fishing tournament series across the nation, and is sponsored by the National Guard. Our best FLW finish was 8th place last year, however we needed to make the top 5 to move on. These tournaments are held in the spring, and we are looking forward to trying to make nationals in 2012.” Before entering tournaments like the FLW, the team members must compete between themselves for the honor of representing UK. “We have our own qualifiers on lakes in this region to determine the top four on the team. These four will take two boats and fish the major tournaments we enter,” said Bryant. The locations used for qualifying are Barren River Lake, Taylorsville Lake and Green River Lake. UK’s best effort last year was a second-place finish at the Murray State Invitational. The event was held on Kentucky Lake, near Paducah. “Boats were averaging

UK senior Jordan Elmore, a member of the UK bass fishing team, attempts to catch a fish at Jacobson Park in Lexington, Ky., on Sept. 30, 2011. 15 pounds per day on 5 fish, which is really good for February. It’s also a wonderful jerk-bait lake,” Bryant said. “Kentucky Lake is a huge body of water, with around 160,000 acres to cover,” said teammate Proc Robinson. To put the size of Kentucky Lake in perspective, it is more than double the size of Lake Cumberland. The team had a former
member break through to the professional ranks. Four years ago, UK graduate Brandon Card was invited to attend a special on the Outdoor channel. It was called the ultimate match fishing college edition. It involves fishing against another person in the boat, which is opposite from any other tournament situation. Card won, and it propelled him to the prestigious Bassmaster
Harrow gets chance to show off his game AARON SMITH Kernel columnist
The whispers were surprising, the ones coming out of Lexington this summer indicating Ryan Harrow was more than holding his own in pickup games. Josh Harrellson compared Harrow’s hops to John Wall’s. Darius Miller said Harrow was one the same level as the other talented newcomers. We won’t know how true the whispers were until next season, as Harrow has to sit out this whole season after transferring from North Carolina State. Which means he’s just going to go even bigger in Big Blue Madness, which, besides the Blue-White scrimmage in two weeks, is the only event he gets to play in front of fans. “I think the guys know this is my one time to actually go out there and show my stuff,” Harrow said. “They’ll be looking out for me (Friday).” Like, clearing out on defense to let him go for a wideopen dunk? “Probably,” Harrow said with a laugh. “Letting me
have fun and letting me do what I do best. Putting on a show, I guess.” He’ll have plenty of people to do it for Friday. Rupp Arena is sold out — including his family, who are coming in to see the Madness. “I know they’ll be excited for all my dunks and stuff,” Harrow said. There’s sure to be plenty of those, if Harrow’s YouTube highlights are any indication. The fans get to see Harrow. Harrow also gets to play with his teammates in a game-like atmosphere. It will be as much for him as it will be for them. But it will be bittersweet. Harrow’s already staring down the void he will face after these two public showcases. He’ll still be able to practice with the team, sure, but in the privacy of the Joe Craft Center. The rest of the time, he’ll be sitting on the bench. That’s a long wait for someone who played a full year at N.C. State last season. Instead of bouncing back from a subpar year after being a highly ranked recruit, he’ll have to wait it out. Halfway through the year, he’ll get to watch as fellow transfer Twany Beckham becomes eligible to play in games. He’s able to compensate for the missed time by telling
himself he will be a better player from having a year to learn UK’s system. But those benefits are a year away. “When I first transferred, I said it’s not going to be a big deal. It will go by fast,” Harrow said. “But it just hit me this week that college basketball is about to start up and I won’t be able to play.” He saw a tweet from a hometown friend who is going to play at East Carolina. The friend was counting down the days until he would be “living his dream,” Harrow said. That was when it hit Harrow. He won’t be playing this year. Not a single minute. “I’ve played college basketball already,” Harrow said, “but I was like, ‘dang, I’m not doing to be able to play this year. It was kind of tough. But you get over it.” Getting a preliminary taste of UK basketball at Big Blue Madness will go a long way toward helping him get through the year. Getting acquainted with the Rupp Arena cheers will be satisfying. Until the whispers become shouts. Aaron Smith is a journalism junior. Contact Aaron at asmith@kykernel.com
tour. “He is UK’s claim to fame at this point,” Bryant said. The team has a Facebook page. For those who like to casually fish and have a good time, member Proc Robinson offers this advice. “Lake Cumberland is a very fun place. You can catch largemouth and smallmouth. If they don’t bite, the striper bass also hit big there.”
