go to the site, then click open tournaments, then scroll down to balsam lake 23rd results.
Having a cottage on Balsam, and "try my best" at bass fishing, I'm very impressed with the weigh-in weights, and those that fish the tournament.
...after watching most of the weigh in and talking to some of the guys/gals, I walked away, noting to myself...I'm doing it all wrong...and there is fish in this lake!..

21 lbs on balsam?
5 teams over 18lbs?
A 6.20lbs largie?

I'm very surprised at all this. Only fished the lake twice but I may have to give it more of a chance.

i fish balsam a lot - those stats are crazy!!

Good bag indeed! Lots of ground to cover but once you got an dialed in the rest is cake. We got into a bunch of 3-4lbers on the same day and was curious how everyone else made out.

...so after some bass insight from the guys in the tourney, much appreciated, I was on the water first thing Sunday, and fished most of the day, and too my surprise I went 3/6, all smallies, nothing to write home about, but I had fun...just using soft plastics.
With that said, I saw a pair big smallies cruising around, back and fourth, three times in fact along the edge of a large weedbed, 8-10 fow, but no commitment from them, but really cool to watch, I think were buds now.
...I do believe I saw Double-blue around 4pm 9 (tip of Indian), I waived, but next time, I'll really give you the big shout-out.

I can get on a huge smallies, I have never got on any largies worth talking about. I see the bass in this lake, these numbers seem good.
