Comments:  11/2/2012 from Mark Glasscock: I've been lucky enough to fish all of the great lakes in the US and Mexico, and I don't know why it's taken me so long to fish Lake Baccarac. Before coming, I had read all of the reports and don't know that I really believed them 100%. I did see the photos on the website – very impressive – but I still had a hard time believing. But upon my arrival, seeing the photos on the walls of the tackle store, I absolutely dropped my jaw. Now I understand that it's just not FEW 9 to 18 lbs bass, it's thousands, with many different faces associated with those bass.

I had still not caught bass on the lake, but instantly felt like I became part of this elite club. It wasn't until late afternoon the first day that I realized that this lake was a bass fisherman's paradise, a structure fisherman's dream. I was told there was a great top water bite, senkos, flukes, spinner baits, this and that, but my guide insisted that if I was happy to fish deep and to fish structure, I would be well rewarded trying to lure these bass with jigs and heavy-weighted plastics. We founds spots on the lake that must have been holding thousands of monster bass. As I was looking at the depth finder, I couldn't believe my eyes.

Did I catch a trophy bass? Oh, yes. Did I catch five fish over the magical ten lb. mark? Yes. Is it the best trip I have ever been on for big bass? Without a doubt. But I'm more excited to understand what's coming in the future for this lake, if taken care of. These are the hardest fighting, healthiest black bass I have ever seen. The structure alone is enough to make you come back. The guide I had absolutely had radar on when a bass was about to hit my lure. It's not an easy lake to fish. With a good guide, it increases your odds but you still have to be on top of your game at Lake Baccarac. Oh by the way, the lodge was great; the food beyond excellent. Manuel was the ultimate host and guide. I don't see myself going to another lake to fish for bass. I'll be back as soon as I can, hopefully to bring many, many more friends.
