Sorry you didn't have a better trip. When the big bad bassmasters fished here they were humbled too!

Yes they were. It was a cool place, and I caught plenty of fish both times if I was looking to keep some to eat, just tiny ones. I was convinced there was no such thing as a better fish there, then someone weighed in one over 4, one just under 4, and I had one around 3 come off trying to swing it. It seems like there is a good following of local guys who fish competitively there, and that's pretty cool. They all seemed very encouraging toward one another and would actually share info on stuff. I don't see that atmosphere on Toledo outside of clubs.
