The Grand Lake Extravaganza is well underway and there are tagged bass being caught all over the lake. As of Monday the 14th of April, 44 tagged bass had been caught on Grand Lake.
“This is an extraordinary number of tagged bass that have already been caught,” said Tad Jones, Executive Director of the Grand Lake Association. “We didn’t think this many would be caught during the whole event, but we are thrilled that anglers are pulling in tagged bass from everywhere on Grand.”
